During this job I worked on many different parts of the restaurant. I took phone calls placing takeout orders, I took table orders and ran food, I packed takeout orders as well as cashing people out. I learned how to thrive in a very fast paced environment, while interacting with many different people during a shift. I worked in a small restaurant that held 2 to 3 servers including myself on a given night, so I was quick to heighten my problem solving skills so I wouldn't have to pull another server away from their work if something went wrong. I was also tasked with handling customers issues quite regularly, as well as deescalating situations if things started to get slightly out of hand when a customer had an issue. I also helped to sell some of the homemade sauces that were made by my boss in order to generate some more income for the restaurant.

I also learned how to work in an environment with a heavy language barrier, as the restaurant was family run by mainly people from Laos and Vietnam.

With this job I worked with a lot of children of all ages, backgrounds etc. I spent my days teaching them new skills, and reinforcing new skills they have been working on. I taught upwards of 10 to 12 classes in one shift. I was responsible for between 4 and 6 children at any given time, and was also responsible for multiple students with special needs. I also did small meetings with the guardians for each of my students at the end of every lesson.

On top of my responsibilities as a teacher, I was also responsible for the setting up and taking down of the pool at the beginning and end of each shift. I worked with a lot of people from different backgrounds, whether it was the students, their guardians, or my fellow instructors.
