This is the Common App short answer question. I'm not really sure if I should use this yet but thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions! :)
I felt the scorching sun beating down on my burnt back. I heard my boss say, "Jessie only five hundred more cows to go!", already 10 hours into my shift. Even though it was grueling, I learned a lot from working at El Oro Cattle Feeders. I learned the value of hard work. Everything can't be handed to you in life. You must go out there and obtain it yourself. I also learned how to work with people different than myself. I believe this is very important because this is how it will be at a university. However the most important thing I learned from this job is that I want to become more than just a person who works at a fast food restaurant or who works in the fields. I want to go above and beyond even my own expectations. College is the first vital step.
