My first pocket money

I had never felt so good in my life. I earned my first pocket money when I was in high school. During school holidays, many students preferred to stay at home or go on holidays, but I wished to experience the school holidays differently this time. As soon as the school holidays started, I began to look for a part-time job.

The first day of the holiday, I went to grocery stores to look for a job. I saw a lot of places that wanted to hire part-time sales associates, and I decided to go into a clothing store. The store assistant gave me an application form to fill out. After I completed the application, the store supervisor came in and asked me some questions while she was checking my application. I went to other stores and tried my best to get a job, but every time my application was rejected. I went home feeling disappointed.

The next day, I went to the mall located not far away from my house. I asked about part-time jobs store after store. Finally, I found a restaurant hiring part-time workers for the coming Friday. The restaurant owner was so nice and friendly even knowing I was a student. She told me that she would interview me in 10 minutes. Then she called me go into her office and asked me some basic questions about my education, skills, and availability. She also asked a couple of personal questions about my family and the reason I was looking for a job.

After I answered all her questions, she decided to hire me. I was so happy.

The following Friday, I arrived at the restaurant thirty minutes earlier. The restaurant owner felt so happy and welcomed me with a smile. After a short meeting with the staff, we began to set up tables, chairs, and decorated for the wedding party. As soon as the wedding party began, I got very busy serving drinks and food to the guests. During summer holidays I earned a lot of money. I was very glad to work there. I’ve got a great experience from it!
