Just finished my essay finally! Would appreciate some grammar check. And any criticism, insights, changes would greatly be accepted ^___^
Being at work after school has become a daily routine that nothing spectacular ever happens while sitting on this white chair. Delivering prescriptions within walking distance without much interference or trouble was as simple as putting biscuit into a basket until that one afternoon which felt like the end of the world, made me realize a valuable life lesson.
"Thank you, that would be $5.09," I said as I handled the money and she signed off her prescription. The day felt never-ending and energizing as I walked back to the pharmacy only soon to find myself in misery. I walked in with a delightful smile and gave the pharmacist the signed paper till that one question struck my mind. "Where's the money?" Anxiously, I rambled through my pockets endlessly searching for it only to find myself in distress. I bolted out the door and backtracked my way through - no luck. The pharmacist told me it was okay and that just don't repeat the same mistake again, learn from it. Even though it was a small mistake, I just couldn't let it go at that moment for it was such a simple task that shouldn't be mistaken.
I sat there, emotionless, and the images kept repeating itself that I couldn't manage to bring it to a stop. Abruptly, I reminisced of my childhood. The time when falling off staircases was almost like a hobby for me. Tumbling down a one story high, metal-like staircase, and effortlessly crying was a challenge. Falling off a stone, cemented staircase earning myself scraped knees, elbows and a nosebleed made me realize crying won't get me anywhere. But rather to stand up, learn from what you did wrong, and don't dwell over your mistakes. And so I went straight back to work and did what I needed to do because mistakes are obstacles in life in which you must overcome to better yourself. I continued being hardworking everyday, to show the pharmacist and myself that I'm capable of overcoming problems and not muddle over it.
Maturing is what helps build you into a stronger person because you'll know your rights from your wrongs. Having this job definitely helped me for not only did I learn to stand up from my mistakes, I learned to handle money and that money doesn't come to you, you have to earn it. But because of this job, I grew to love helping people in which will pursuit me in my goal of being a nurse.
