It is kind of hard to figure out who you are when you've lost your job at age 13, when that was basically how you identified yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You don't find out who you are unless you work at it.
When you're younger, it's hard because you're finding your identity, and then for 12 hours out of the day, you have to be a different person. So that's a tricky phase - as far as figuring who you are out and then figuring out the people that you're working with.
I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
Whether it's my age or my misspent youth, sometimes I forget whether I've worked with somebody or not.
My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.
I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.
You want to feel like people are hiring you because they want to work with you, not because of who your parents are.
I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.
I have worked ever since I was 13.
At 13 years old, I was doing grown-man things, so I know who I am, and I'm telling people who I am.
