My whole life I have been in love with animals. Ever since I was a child, there was always an animal for me to take care of and provide comfort to throughout their life. I have always strived to make sure my animals were at a state of utmost comfort with me so that I could be not only reliable, but also a source of love for the animals. In becoming this safe space for my animals, I have also been able to build my communication skills with those around me. Throughout my time as a cashier, I had to navigate how to be the best employee I could be. In this, I built up my social skills not only with customers, but also colleagues, so I could create a welcoming and positive working environment. Because of this experience, I feel I will be able to make a positive experience in the workplace not only with the animals but also with the people. In being a kennel assistant, I know I can bring the utmost comfort to the animals while taking care of them, no matter the challenge. I believe with being able to use my quick thinking and social skills, which were developed in my time as a cashier, I can create the desired working environment while also bringing comfort to the animals around me.
