I remember when was 14. Every Saturday I’d get dressed in a long sleeved shirt and tie and visit every grocery store for miles around. I’d talk to the managers and get turned down. I was very discouraged as I’d made dozens of visits to the same stores. Then, one Saturday I walked into a store where several people hadn’t shown up for work. The place was in chaos with the manager and all the office people running a cash registers. I walked up and started my spiel and the manager said, “Can you start now?” I grabbed a bag and started packing. I worked five hours that night. I became that store’s longest serving employee; until I graduated from college.

Persistence.

I dropped a resume a week for the job I have now. I guess they were tired of seeing my emails and resumes and called me in for a interview
patience and faith in God.
