VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

This was my first time to work. I went to McDonald‘S and felt nervous but excited. When I went in, I knew that my work would begin and this was the first time, so I only needed to work for 4h. In these 4h, I didn’t drink water, eat anything or go to the toilet so after work, I felt so tired but really happy. From the work / from this job, I learned a lot of things that I cannot learn in the class so I think it was a great experience for me.
