My mom use to always say, “You need to act like a man because one day you will have to be one so you might as well start now.” What my mom said stuck with me as I applied for my jobs. I know growing up would be tough because of the transition between a boy to a man. I wanted the Custodial job even though it would be hard to keep but kind of easy to get. It was not hard to get because all I had to do was apply, go in for an interview type thing, and learn the equipment.

The first thing I did was fill out my application. The application was not that hard to fill out because it was basic information for the most part. There were a few things here and there I didn’t know or understood but ultimately I got it done no problem. The hard part was getting it there in time. Since the dead line was the next day, I had to fax it immediately. When I received the call I was ecstatic to know that my application made it on time and I had gotten the job.

The next thing I had to do was go in for this interview type thing. I was pretty nervous when I got called into her office. As the interview went on I started to calm my nerves. She asked me a lot of question about a direct deposit but luckily, my mom knew the information. After I answered all the questions she asked and signed a few papers, the interview was done she shook my hand and said, “Have a nice day.”

Now that I got the job it was time for me to learn how to use the equipment. There was a lot to learn from a simple to extremely hard. The hardest thing for me to learn was the buffer machine. It was hard to control at first and took a lot of strength that I did know was needed, but eventually I got the hang of it and I started to use it with ease.

Growing up is a big part of things teen lack on. We still do childish things that would have not been done if we just acted our ages. When you grow up you feel accomplished and independent. I felt both of these things in my job. Even though applying for the job, going in for an interview, and learning the equipment was not exactly difficult, but after I started the job for a few months, I felt like a man and grown up just like my mother said I would be one day.
