I haven't written in a while, but today I had a n urge to write after watching Oprah's show about celebrities and their first jobs. One of them worked at Dairy Queen and of course my memories just overflowed me with my 1st job in Canada. It was DQ, 5 min away form home. I had been only 3 moths in Canada and my English practice was pretty much as old. It was quite a journey with learning everything at the same time: language, the names of different candies, making the DQ cone, Canadian work ethics, communication and customer service. I will never forget my 1st day when I couldn't even understand the simple sentence from my manager: she was asking me to bring a mop. However, she was nice enough to go with me WITH a SMILE and show what she asked me to bring and do. Ooooo I did cry that night...but I did go back and ended up staying there for 2 years while I was studying in school.
