At first section, my job is checking the travellers including their luggages and identity cards. At that time i was very young. I didn’t know how to talk to people well or find good ways to solve problems. My coworkers weren’t closed to me. O feel very lonely. The worse thing was the pay was bad and the job was very hard.
