one of the things I can't forget in my life is my first job, and this isn't because of the fact that it's the first or because it brought in so much money, infact it didn't
The reason I can't forget about this job is that, whilst working this job and from the proceeds I got,I was able to get my first major property with my own hard earned money.
Yes, it was indeed and still is something I am really proud of. I was really young and was very much fascinated by Computers, I desired to own a laptop computer even though only a few persons about my age who were children of the elites owned one.
I started the job at about age 16. I remember how I got the job. I didn't even think I was big enough to do a job, neither did I apply for any job. It was about the least things I had thought about at the time.
That fateful day, I was dressed so beautifully in red tie and a sparkling white shirts tucked into a black trousers . I was heading to church when someone ( my boss) stopped me and began complimenting my looks.
He said I looked really good and he wanted me to work for him as a supplier/delivery boy.
I didn't really think about his offer, I loved adventure and I was already flabbergasted by his sweet complimenting words plus he talked about money, about me making good money for myself.
I started the job as a snacks supplier, distributor, marketer and sometimes waiter. It was a fun job. I was really young and charismatic and I got so many customers for my boss.
The wages were nothing to write home about but I got very good tips. I was able to save all of it as I was still with my parents and they still catered for all my needs. Months after I had taken the job, I had saved so much money. At first, I really didn't know what to do with the money I had saved, I was just happy that I could boast of that much money in the savings account I had just opened.
I thought of what I would do with the money but nothing was worth spending the money for. I didn't want to lose the pride owning such an amount gave me but I still felt a strong urge to spend the money.
The only thing that could give me as much pride and joy was owning a laptop. At the time, it was hardly found amongst teenagers my age and it brought so much respect to those that owned one. I was really fascinated by laptops and finally decided that I would use the money I had saved to purchase one.
I finally got one for myself and it was such a big deal as even some of my older siblings didn't own any. I was amongst the very few people of my age that owned a laptop in the neighborhood, and the fact that I had gotten mine with my own money brought me even more respect and pride.
My parents were so proud of me. Older kids in the neighborhood began to respect me and people had began to look at me from a different and new light. I was an example to other teengers and younger kids always flocked around me whenever I brought out my new laptop.
The laptop was the first major thing I had purchased with my money and it was quite a good buy as it brought quite a lot of benefits. I was able to learn very well and at a tender how to operate a laptop, I became a bit popular, I brought me respect and up till date, people still think of me as wise and industrious because of that singular decision
Thanks for stopping by, I would also like to know the first major thing you bought with your money and how it all happened. thanks once again .
