Personal Experiences That Shaped Me
When I was 14, I went to the restaurant in a good mood and I drove in my gray Acura car with black tires. When I arrived, the parking lot in the front didn't look like it was busy so when I entered the King Wok, I saw my parents sitting at the table talking about something. I went to the back and put my stuff which was mostly my phone, my driver's license which a picture of me looking like a ghost, and the car keys on the table. My mom and dad said that there is going to be a big order today and we should get ready mostly it was like 10 large sweet and sour chicken and other dishes like 10 large chicken lo mein, 10 large young chow fried rice, and 10 large beef egg foo young.
I got myself ready and I made the fried rice in around 30 min the total amount hours took about 2 to 3 hours and then when we were done we put them in a giant plastic tray with wrapping to make the food hot and not bitter, cold, frosty. My mother said thank you for making the food and I really need that help because we are really the short staff and also at the end of the day and we went to eat our dinner and I drove home to see my dog and then my parents came home in 2 to 3 hrs which was 9:00 or 10:00 pm. It also meant that I worked at the restaurant every day to help my parents so they wouldn't be over-stressed with work.
