Part 1: Journal
This week, we are going to revisit gratitude. I'd like you, though, to specifically focus on the workplace. If you've never worked, think of a project that you've helped out on. Consider school, if you must. I'd like you to have a free write about the things that you are grateful for, regarding your jobs and your work. Even if you hate your job, try to find the little things that get you through.
Write 3 paragraphs (with images) about the gratitude you find in your workplace, at your job, or at school.
I am happy that I get to work at a place that I love. I get to work with shoes and people two things I like. I get to be a part of a store that is more like a family rather than a corporation. What makes this store unique compared to other area "urban wear" outposts is its selection of more niche models from New Balance, Puma, Adidas, and Nike SB. I like how we are able to wear whatever we want to work, and we aren't restricted during our breaks.
If sneakers and high fashion is your thing, this is definitely a place to check off your bucket list when you're in town. Everything from Nike SB to Visvim; from Stussy to Cole Haan. Concepts has just about all the necessities any fashion freak could want. And being one makes it an even cooler job. Concepts has became one of the most respected sneaker stores worldwide. And I am happy to be apart of it and contribute to the success.
I love being able to help create sneaker designs and seeing it sell out. Also we are expanding to city's like New York, Miami and Dubai. And being apart of it is cool. I work with people that like the same stuff, it doesn't feel like work at times.
Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteGood start to your blog post, but where is your hip hop rhyme? It's missing this week.
It sounds like you enjoy your job because it's on the cutting edge of footwear fashion and that you work with good people. That's great. Being proud of the products that you have to sell makes a huge difference in a job. Your enthusiasm, as a sales rep, is likely true and honest, and that makes a huge difference when you interact with customers.
It also sounds like you work with good people. That can make or break a job, especially when it's a part time gig.
Good writing. I like the images that you included as well.
But where's the poetry?
