“I loved experiencing what it is like to work in a factory. For many people, this is their life. 7 AM-3:30 PM, 5 or 6 days a week in a hot, dirty factory. I was offered a position in the office but decided that I wanted to work in the factory because it is something that I (hopefully) will never have to do again. It truly opened my eyes to the ample opportunities I am blessed with. It motivated me to excel in all of my classes because it made me truly realize how rough some people have it and I never want to experience that first hand. I also used this as an opportunity to practice my Spanish speaking skills because many of my coworkers only spoke Spanish. Instead of turning me away because I was from a completely different background from them they accepted me and treated me no differently than any other employee. By helping me with my Spanish, they contributed to my success in the classroom because I am taking Spanish right now. ”
