by Daniel Mor, 16
Last summer I wanted to earn some money, so I looked for a job. I
am sixteen, and it is not easy to find work at my age. After two
weeks, I saw a sign in the window of an ice-cream shop near the beach
in Tel Aviv: "Help wanted for July and August." I went in and spoke to
the owner, a friendly woman called Gali. She asked me a few questions
and told me to come the next day.
The first days were really hard. I worked from four in the
afternoon until eleven at night. The shop was always full of people,
and they all wanted their ice cream fast. I had to remember more than
thirty flavours. Once I gave a customer chocolate instead of coffee,
and he was angry. I almost cried.
Slowly, things got easier. Gali taught me how to make a perfect
ball of ice cream and how to smile at customers even when I was tired.
I learned to count money quickly and to clean the machines at the end
of the night. My favourite part was giving children free tastes. They
always looked so happy.
I also made new friends. Two other teenagers worked with me, Omer
and Shira. We laughed a lot, and on our free evenings we went to the
beach together.
At the end of August, I had 6,000 shekels in the bank. I used some
of it to buy a new laptop. But the money was not the best thing. This
job taught me to work hard and to be patient with people. Next summer
I want to go back.
