I remember the first time I really entered the society to experience life was in the winter vacation of my freshman year. That winter vacation may be a blessing from heaven or my own luck, so it gave me a particularly good and profound impression. Think of the last experience, as if it was yesterday, but compared with this experience, I feel so beautiful, and I feel so helpless this time. I feel too much about society and life, even though I am only 19 years old.
I remember that on the third day of winter vacation, under the leadership of my classmates, I found my first job in my life. I work as a waiter in a restaurant. Maybe this is really a blessing from God, or maybe it's because of my diligence. In the restaurant, the boss and other colleagues are very kind to me, so apart from some basic cleaning, it is very relaxed. They let me do everything and tolerate me when I do something wrong. There is also a waiter about my age who is like a sister to me. My aunt who lives with me is like her own daughter. They use their tolerance and care to make me feel that I live in a big family full of love, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. I haven't met a particularly picky customer for a month, so it's easy to have only 400 yuan a month. I'm very happy, because this is the first time in my life. It is also because in such a relaxed and harmonious environment, I have not realized what is hard, what is sinister, and the hardships of making money and living. Everything is so smooth, except that it is not as convenient and free as home. I feel that society is so beautiful.
However, this summer vacation has repeatedly hit a wall, and things that have not been experienced before have been experienced this time. For the first time, I felt the pressure of life and the fierce competition in society. And many, many more.
I used to be naive and always thought that the world was so big that I couldn't find a job, which sounded ridiculous. I thought I would be rewarded if I worked hard, and so on. Just because of some things I experienced this summer vacation, I changed a lot of views and opinions, and also let me know more about this colorful and complicated society.
On the fourth day of this summer vacation, I arrived in Shanghai by train. I thought of Shanghai, then went to find a job for a month, and then took Shanghai to play for another month. However, because of heatstroke by train, I have been unwell for a week and have been infused at home. After I got better, I went to look for a job, thinking it would be as smooth as winter vacation, but I couldn't find it for a long time, for many reasons, mainly as follows:
1, because Shanghai is a bustling metropolis, no matter what industry, the recruitment requirements are very high, and many places need to be able to understand and speak Shanghainese, but I can't.
2. Many places are looking for people in the service industry, such as restaurants and supermarkets. But all these places need a one-month or half-month probation period.
3, because I am a short-term worker, I only work for a month, so there are not many places.
There are many reasons, so after more than 20 days, I still haven't found a job. In addition, due to the continuous high temperature weather in Shanghai, I decided to go back to Sichuan. On the phone, I asked my classmate to help me find a job in Chengdu, and he also found it. I boarded the train from Shanghai to Chengdu hopefully, because it was past four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Chengdu, so the next morning my classmate took me to the place where he found me a job, which was also a restaurant, with a room for 550. When I went, the boss was not in. We waited for a while and the boss came. When the classmates explained the situation, the boss said with regret that I had found someone yesterday and I didn't need it. I was delayed for two days because I took the train. I really didn't know what it was like at that time. I'm frustrated and depressed. In short, it is very complicated. I don't know what mood I came home with, and I don't know what failure is.
Because during the job search, I stayed at my classmate's house and stayed at his house all day, and my heart has been uncomfortable. The next day, I went out to look for it myself and found a job as a waiter in another restaurant for a while, but the boss thought I was a student and didn't want me, but because of my insistence, he decided to let me try it out for one day to see if I could do it. I think this is a hard-won opportunity. I will work hard to get my boss to keep me. I started to work in the afternoon and worked hard, because it was a night beer house. Go to work at noon 12, and get off work from time to time at night, but generally speaking, it will be past two at the earliest. Because it is manual labor, the law is not the same as usual, so in the end, I fell asleep in bed. I have never felt that sleeping is so beautiful before. I woke up at eleven o'clock the next day and went to work immediately. Work is the same as the first day, but I feel very tired. But I still insisted. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the boss talked to me. He said to me, "You are not suitable for this job." Then he gave me a day's salary. I really wanted to cry, but I didn't. I pretend to be strong. I asked him why, if I was not good enough and didn't work hard enough. He said, "In a place like ours, people mix together at night, and you met them last night. Many guests deliberately make things difficult for you, which is not good for you. It's not that you don't work hard or be diligent. On your judgment day, you did very well. I also want you to stay, but it's not good for you. " He didn't say anything. "
With a day's salary, I don't know where to go. Repeated bumps and bumps make me feel that life is not smooth. Finally, I went back to my classmate's house. I almost told him in tears that I was fired by my boss. Seeing me so sad, he comforted me. If he is a girl, I really want to cry. The next day I went home with my luggage. In this way, my summer vacation experience is over. Although it was only a short day, it made me understand a lot:
1. When a person comes out of society for the first time, we should take the initiative to adapt to the environment and get familiar with the people and things around us, not the environment to adapt to us.
2, life is very hard, every income has to pay twice, in addition to ability, effort and opportunity, but also know that parents are not easy.
When you are away from home, without the care of your parents and the help of your classmates, you should learn to be independent and take care of yourself.
4, life is alive, nine times out of ten, in such a complex environment of society, there is nothing more troublesome or frustrating than our home and school. Some are young and frivolous, others are reckless. Everything is so smooth. Without schools and families, it is not very good in society. We should let go of the frivolity in school and the pampering at home. Don't expect too much, do it step by step. We should have a normal mind, be optimistic about the disappointments and setbacks encountered in society, correctly evaluate ourselves and give ourselves a correct position.
After all, part-time job is short-lived. As a student, the most important thing at present is to study hard, pave the way for finding an ideal job in the future and lay a solid foundation for getting rid of manual labor.
6. In school, you should learn to deal with interpersonal relationships, learn to save, learn to cherish every hard-won opportunity, and always have a grateful heart and an optimistic heart.
These are some of my feelings this summer vacation, which made me learn a lot. There is a big gap between reality and ideal. The reality is cruel, but the opportunity is biased towards those who are prepared. To change your life, you must study hard.
