Attitude: It Makes a Diffrence.

     Until about a month ago, I had some trouble finding a job. I graduated from high school last May, and at that time I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I had thoughts of joining The Navy, I had thoughts of going to college to be a school teacher, and I had thoughts of going into law enforcement. I needed to take some time off and discover who I am. I had decided to take a year off and find a job. The problem was after months of applying at various places, I had gotten no job offers. 
     About 2 months ago my dad and I thought the reason i had trouble finding a job was because i didn't have any work expirience. In this difficult economy, employers tend to hire expirienced workers. My dad called my uncle who owns a service station to ask him if i could work at the station. My uncle said I could work there however, I'm not getting paid. I'm more like an intern. When I first started working there, I didn't think I'd enjoy working there. I thought I'd be an outcast among all the other workers there, and that I wouldn't be to happy there knowing that I wouldn't get paid for my work. I couldn't have been more wrong! I really enjoy working with my uncle. I'm not an outcast among the other workers in fact, it's just the opposite. They really appreciate the work I do around there. Another thing that helped me along is my attitude. Usually my attitude gets in the way of my sucess. But I decided to just work hard and let the chips fall where they may. After all, I don't fully know what lies ahead of me. But my attitude has helped win the approval of my uncle and all the employees.  
     Attitude does indeed matter in society today. I believe life is 10 percent what we're given, 90 percent is what we make of it. If we just complain about how things don't go our way, we won;t achieve much. However if we decide to make the best of what we're given, we will achieve more than we thought possible.
