My First Job
Last summer, I got my first job. I worked at a small bakery in my neighborhood. Every morning, I helped bake bread, cakes, and cookies. I also cleaned the tables and served customers. My boss was kind and taught me many things.
At first, I was a little nervous because I didn’t want to make mistakes. But after a few days, I felt more confident. I learned how to talk to customers, take orders, and work fast. I was proud of myself and happy to earn my own money.
