One of My Most Valuable Learning Experience's

In my life I've learned many important things, such as learning to walk, talk, and be social. But one certain learning experience comes to mind. About one year ago right after I turned 18, I was given a job working with my step dad in his jewelry store (Dahlquist's Fine Jewelry). It was my first paying job ever, besides yard work miscellaneous jobs here and there. Quickly after working in the store I realized that this wasn't an ordinary job, it required lots of discipline and trust to handle the amount of jewelry that I did every day. I also had to learn to take in jewelry repairs from customers, and although their jewelry wasn't always valuable money wise it was very sentimental and precious to them, so I had to handle it with care. Throughout my time working in the store I have made many mistakes, some small, some large, but they have all been valuable learning experiences. So, overall one of my most important learning experiences has been being put into an uncomfortable situation, not knowing if I was qualified or mature enough to handle it, and eventually coming out successful as a valuable employee.
