Nobody's Perfect

If I told you working at Chick-fil-A was a walk in the park, I’d be lying to you.

To be “happy all the time” is simply impossible.

Speaking from my own experience, there have been (many) times where I’ve messed up.

To give some examples of my clumsiness, here are a list of things I have “messed up” on while working at Chick-fil-A:

Dropping all the lids on the ground in the middle of lunch rush (I think every Chick-fil-A team member can relate to this one.)
Making an ice “dream” cone that looks more like an ice nightmare…
Forgetting my name tag... oh. so. many. times.

Despite these silly mistakes, my leaders never stopped believing in me.

Never ONCE doubted me.

Because of this, I grew. More than I EVER thought possible.

I learned to laugh at my mistakes and learn from them rather than dwell on them.

I learned that not every day is going to be your best.

But with the right people encouraging you and that little voice inside saying “DON’T GIVE UP,” you can achieve anything!
