My New Job & The anxiety I'm dealing with.
So recently I got a new job at a new Shoprite in Yardley PA. To be honest I don't have that much "Job experience". I worked on my families farm off and on for about two years. I ran the register, went into the fields and just did whatever I could to get some experience. I decided to leave the farm because I wanted to go on my own path. Search for my own destiny. I knew I didn't want to be apart of the farm forever. Than my second Job was at a daycare. I changed diapers, played with the kids and cleaned bathrooms pretty much.. I left the daycare Job because I wanted something more professional. I wanted to work for a real company. A company where I could get benefits and other special things and I wanted to expand my experience. I loved the kids. I loved seeing them and being with them. But I really wanted to work in a good solid company. So I chose Shoprite. My first interview I was nervous but I acted completely like myself. I applied for a Scrunchy Position. The Scrunchy position is child care in the store. Parents can take there children to Scrunchy's Playhouse and there children can be watched while they go shopping within the store. But the position filled up and they didn't have it available anymore. So they decided to put me in produce. I had to do an Orientation, WBT training ( Web based Training). Food Safety Training & Clerk Training & Cashier Training. I got to tell you it was exhausting. I was overwhelmed with all of the information I had to learn in such a short time. My Anxiety got the best of me. I began coming home and crying my eyes out and Praying to God that this Job would get easier. I officially started my live training in Philadelphia. It was hard, Learning how to use a knife properly cutting every kind of fruit and vegetable imaginable and using this giant machine called a Pineapple corer. Not to mention getting the salad bar ready! I'm not going to lie to you, My anxiety was so bad I thought I was going to pass out. But I stayed cool, Stayed myself and just tried my best. People think Produce is super easy. But it's not there's a lot to it. But once you get all of the information you need and practice it will become a piece of cake. Shoprite is a great company and I am so happy this company hired me. People may say..Oh it's just a Grocery store. But it's more than that. It's a family. It's an opportunity. A lot of the managers started out small and worked there way up. There's endless possibilities within this store and with this Job that I'm taking it and I'm going to work my butt off and try my best. I believe this Job was given to me by the Lord. I believe this was his plan for me. I asked him for a Job to come my way and here it is! If you feel hopeless about God's plan trust in him, Seek him and try your best. You never know what he will show you! I still don't know the rest of my future plan . But I do know he got me this far & I am more than happy he has been there when I've fallen . My anxiety has gotten better these last few weeks and I couldn't be happier with how things have been going<3. & No I'm not saying it's going to be perfect but I know God is here with me<3. I'll be praying for all of you! Don't give up!
