About a month ago, I began working at Marcus Midtown Cinema. I was extremely skeptical at first as far as if I was cut out for working in the food service, and I even seriously contemplated quitting after the first couple of weeks. I can now say that I couldn't be happier I stuck with it.
Along with the fact that the work is pretty easy, I really enjoy the people I work with. They treat me like an adult, which isn't something I get often, and I really appreciate it.
Unlike Hy-Vee where a bunch of people from my high school work, no one at the theater knew me when I started there. It was nice to have a clean slate to start with. I remember thinking, "This is it. I can be whoever I want because these people don't know anything about me." But after a little while, I realized the best person I can possibly be is me. So I gave it a shot, and it definitely paid off. Knowing that I can be completely myself around these people and they still want to hang out with me outside of work is a major blessing.
I know this all might sound a little lame and cheesy, but I appreciated the opportunity that this new job gave me. I can't wait to see what else it has in store for me, and I am so grateful for all the new friends I have made so far. New is scary, but it's well worth the risk. (:
