My first proper job. Once I turned 14 in 8th grade, I started looking for a job and I had some sophomore friends that were currently working at genius gems so I decided I would apply. My only other working experience was babysitting and my Minecraft Classes but luckily for me with my experience with the minecraft classes allowed me to be the youngest hire at genius gems.
Over the 2024 Summer was looking for a summer job that would allow me to gain new skills that would be useful in the real world. I've always had an interest in cars and one of my dreams was to restore a vintage car. This allowed me to gain useful skills to be able to accomplish this as well as gave me useful skills that I will be able to use in the real world.
While employed at Genius Gems I didn't receive the number of shifts that I had wanted and wanted to work more so I chose to seek additional employment. A friend of mine had been working at the YMCA and I was talking with him and he recommended I apply to the YMCA. I currently work for the YMCA and am a YMCA Summer Camp promoter where a friend and I drive around to all the different YMCA aftercare locations to get the kids interested in the YMCA Summer Camps.
