Take the Leap

Take the Leap! Don't be afraid of having new experiences! They will shape you to become a more versatile person. 

When I left Spain in 2012, the unemployment rate was above 20%. I arrived in a completely different environment when I arrived in South Australia. I found out very soon that in Australia you could legally get a job if you were 14 years old. I applied everywhere. Not many places were hiring but the hiring manager at McDonald's gave me an interview since I had submitted a physical application twice. "You must really want to work here." - she said, as I became the youngest crew member in all of Australia. I loved my first job. Since we got paid double, I worked every Sunday and holiday. There was an internal competition for who was the fastest in making the orders. I tried to be the fastest person in the kitchen and by the time I left Australia a year later I was opening the kitchen on Saturday mornings and running the kitchen on Sunday evenings.
