Flexibility- Being raised with my 2 little brothers and a single mother is hard. More when I was 15 and my brothers were 12 and 11. Something I learned quickly is you never got what you asked for right away. It was hard for my mom to raise 3 kids. Where I had to be flexible is where when me and my brothers all wanted to go to a friend house at different times. Well that wasn't possible with only one parent who could drive. Most of the time I would never go to my friends house at the time I wanted to go at. I either had to wait for my mom to get home from work or go super early. Something if I wanted to go out and do some active, I couldn't if my mom couldn't find a babysitter to watch my little brothers. A lot of the time I couldn't just go out and do whatever I wanted my mom needed me to help around the house. It really helped me out today to be more calm and flexible with my schedule and others in my life. …show more content…

Now that is a great thing for me because I don’t have to try as hard to impress them, but I end up finding myself in a bit of a problem. The problem is that everyone thinks I enjoy admiring school textbooks. But the truth is I’m usually admiring my Justin Bieber poster on my bedroom wall. Ever since I was in sixth grade I’ve been a huge fan of Bieber. His music always brought a feeling of calmness and back in the day his “never say never” motto, was what I lived by. I might still be living by that motto because I’ve decided to write this essay

I did not know that cooperation works on a larger scale in the workplace, that sometimes one needs help to achieve their ultimate goal.
