When I was hired for this position I was told that I was going to be placed in a home with a 72 year old man with mental retardation and a 37 year old man who is non-verbal. I’m not going to lie, but I felt a little nervous because I had no experience with disabled people or elderly people. When I started working there I wasn’t quite sure if I would be cut out for a job like this. Being only 5ft and having to help someone use the bathroom that is twice my size is not easy. As time went on, I eventually started getting into the swing of things and I really love my job. Even though my first job was only a fast food restaurant, it taught me a lot of important skills. There has been times where my patience was tested with rude customers but I learned how to hold my tongue. I learned many important communication skills and I learned how important hard work is. My first job really helped me succeed at the job I currently have. My first job was obviously not my dream job but I am very grateful that I got to experience it. Working really helped my communication skills and being responsible. This has had an impact on my current job because I have built a good work ethic. I am more open to learning new things and getting out of my comfort
