Owning My Past to Embrace New Opportunities

I once told a potential boss I was so unprepared for my last job that everyone had to help me.

Seriously, I put it right in my application. Last winter, I was a technician

and was completely out of my depth. The other workers had to carry me just to get the

job done. But I’m applying for a new holiday job now. I’m studying mechanics,

I speak three languages, and I’m available all summer. I’m not hiding my past failures.

I’m owning them because I want an opportunity to actually learn and work in a new environment.

Wish me luck.
