The worst job I've had was my first job. When i turned 18, I got a job as a snack bar girl at Crystal palace Skating rink. My job was to take orders, make food and clean tables after closing. I call this job my worst job for many reasons. The first reason being unprofessional. On my second week I had a coworker yell and curse in my face for supposedly smiling at her boyfriend. When I tried to talk to the management about it to later find out that they knew about the whole situation accruing before it had actually happened. I also found out that the managers along with other coworkers were telling this girl that I was constantly staring and flirting with her boyfriend. There statements made no sense seeing as I did not work on the same days as the guy so there was no possible way for me to be staring at him. The situation was ignored by the managers and no repercussions were given to the coworker who screamed at me. Another reason I say it is the worst job is because we weren't allowed to take breaks. There were days that I worked for 8 hours with no breaks. There was also a time when I was sick with a fever and could barely stand up and they wouldn't let me take a break. It took me breaking out in tears for them to acknowledge the fact that i did not feel well and I was able to leave early.
I haven't had a job that I truly like as of yet. The job I have now, however, is much more professional than my last job. I work at Kipling which is a store that sells purses, backpacks, and luggage. Along with other accessories. My favorite thing about this job is that the hours were based on performance not favoritism. Also because I get acknowledgement for doing a good job. At the skating rink I was only spoken too when I did something wrong. Because the hours are based on performance, it pushes me to work as hard as I can to get a lot of hours. This is not the perfect job nor is it close to my dream job; but I see it as a stepping stone that will help me be in the position that I want to be in the future.

Week 1 - EOC - my voice
I am an artist. I see inspiration in every thing I come across everyday. I strive to be the best. I am constantly reinventing myself and finding more challenges to face. Fashion design is my passion. I can't see myself doing anything other than this for the rest of my life. I put my heart and soul into everything I design and create. I am considered one of the best; one of the most daring. I am always pushing my limits and see how abstract I can be with my designs. I am not afraid to fail; for it will only make me stronger and wiser. I take my loses as a learning experience. When my designs fail I know what isn't working, so when I do it again it'll will be better. I am a perfectionist. I'm always looking for how I can improve. I never put out a collection that I am not completely happy with. I put long hours into my work. I'm the first one to come to work and the last one to leave. I am considered one of the best in the industry.
