Landscaping Worker
April 2015 • Horseheads, NY
What I liked
I like enjoying the outdoors, so having a job where I am able to spend my time doing that is great. Making someone's yard look great is also something that I enjoy, especially when it allows me to express my artistic abilities and help me become more confident with myself.
What I wish was different
I wish the schedule might have been different. It can be hard to be on call, I will probably change my schedule so that I work repeatedly on an exact schedule in the future.
Advice
If there is one thing that I could offer, it would that this type of work provides you with the ability to interact and form connections with people in other places that could get you somewhere else in the future. If you enjoy the outdoors, like myself I would recommend a job similar to this.

Dance Teacher
June - August 2018 • Castries, Saint Lucia
What I liked
I taught my Caribbean dance choreography to dancers and "non-dancers". I enjoyed seeing them learn it, improve in each step, and clarify movement with others through team work.
What I wish was different
I wish I started my dance classes earlier. I was so afraid that I would fail that I kept pushing the first date back. When I finally started, ten people attended, by my last class, I had fifty-one people!
Advice
Being self employed at such a young age is very challenging, but with determination and perseverance, you can accomplish anything you set for yourself. Forget the fear of failure, you fail more by not trying. So go for it!
