My First Job I got my first job on June 8, 1968. It was very exciting to me, because I graduated from high school in January of that same year, and it took five months before I finally got a job. The first day at work, I was a little shaky, but as the months went by, I adjusted to the atmosphere, quickly; being around strange people gave me some new experiences in how to adjust to people. I've been on this job for seven years . I've met many people of different nationalities, i11cluding Russian. I even got the chance to meet Golda Meir. Since I've been here, I got a position with more responsibilities. When I leave here, I hope to get a position similar to this one, only I want to deal with the public. I enjoy meeting people. Meeting people is a good thing, es~cially when you are a shy person.
