When I Was a Youngster

When I was 14 years old, I had my first job. The reason why I was working at such a young age was because I was expelled from my Freshman year of high school. I was trying to protect my younger brother from a Junior, and in doing so, I was expelled not only from the school, but from the district.   
                   
When I was working at Teriyaki-To-Go , I was not allowed to touch the register, but I was taught in every other aspect of the job. I would cook, clean, and there were no waiters. The customer had to come up to the front desk for their food. What I took away from this job was cooking chicken and stir fried dishes, like chow mein, and this is where my love for teriyaki chicken came from. 
​
Having that job opened my eyes to how I eat now, and I try to eat healthy. For example, I eat as many vegetables as I can, I don’t drink soda, and I limit my sugar intake. That is how I try to stay healthy. I’m not saying this is the best way, but this is how I do things.
