 January 26, 2024 Job Description: Kitchen Assistant    When I was 16 and in high school, over the summer, I got my first job. It was at a yogurt shop, but not frozen yogurt, actual Greek yogurt. It was pretty much a parfait bar that offered different toppings like chocolate, fruits, and even spinach. The business was owned by two men who quit their corporate jobs at Oracle and decided to go all in on the business. The storefront was little, but on a busy street called Burlingame Avenue in my hometown.      After getting in trouble with my parents, I drove around town with copies of my paper resume until I found someone to take it.

  I was born and raised in a small suburb in the Bay Area called Hillsborough. I lived in the same house almost all my life, so when my parents decided to move to LA to be close to me during college it was definitely a shock. I have adjusted to LA life and now as a Senior at USC, am looking forward to the future. I plan on staying at USC next year to complete my masters in marketing. After that I hope to do digital marketing for a firm in-house.  I am like both my parents in different ways. My dad and I are very similar in our work ethic, love for a good TV show, and cocktail hour. My mom and I are similar in our love for shopping, good sushi, and gossip. Although I am like them in many ways, I am also very different. I like everything to be neat and orderly, whereas my mom finds peace in her coordinated mess. I am also very social whereas my parents enjoy each other's company and a select group of friends. In terms of expectations, I think I have set many of my own expectatio...
