Hard Change As a young boy I believed that change in my life would gradually happen, but I never believed it could happen because of a single event. I never thought that becoming employed at a car wash, to detail cars, could become such an important factor on the man I am today. I used to be immature, antisocial, and lazy but now I feel like a mature, social, and a hard workingman.
As an eighteen-year-old boy getting towards the end of my senior year of high school, I was very immature. I had no problems to worry about because my parents took care of everything. All I worried about was myself, and nothing more. My schedule when I would get home from school was eat, watch TV, watch more TV, sleep, eat again, then watch more TV. I always watched

If one were to ask me how my social life was, it would be a sad tale. I was a very shy and timid boy. I stayed away from most human interaction at school because I felt like an awkward person.

The co-workers I was blessed with always encouraged me and felt that I could do great and amazing things with my life. From the first time they encouraged me and pushed me to clean car seats, or degrease engines, or wax and buff a car better, I felt like my awkwardness and shyness went away. Since I felt like a normal person, I finally started to meet new people and interact more. This was amazing because soon after I got to know all of the people in charge of the company, my bosses gave me a promotion to manager. This trust they invested in me helped get rid of my fear of rejection, and I was a part of the uniseal car wash elite. If it were not for me meeting my bosses at this job, I would probably still be the same anti social boy.
Furthermore, since I got this promotion to manager, I had something on my shoulders that I had never experienced before, responsibility. This new responsibility to run an area of the car wash exterminated the laziness I had. I felt like had a purpose now and always wanted to be helping out or be active on the job.
