A teenager went to work for a large corporation and did all the dirty work that no one else wanted until she received a call from a millionaire one day, and her life was forever changed. “I sent my resume, but I haven’t heard back or received any emails. As a result, I came here “Sandra told the manager of the grocery store where she had applied to work during her summer vacation.
Sandra was raised by a single mother who did her best, but they didn’t have much to save for her future, especially since she wanted to go to medical school. As a result, Sandra decided to send out resumes and work as much as she could. During the school year, her mother would usually refuse because she wanted Sandra to concentrate on her grades and the few extracurricular activities she could participate in.
Sandra, on the other hand, persisted and applied in several places. This grocery store, on the other hand, was the best option. It was close to her house in a Cincinnati neighborhood, and her mother wouldn’t be concerned if she was there. “I apologize, child. We’re simply not hiring right now “Mrs. Cleaver, the manager, said, shaking her head. “I’ll do anything for you.
I can work part-time or full-time and do anything. Everything that others do not want to do. I’m also quite strong. I know I look skinny, but I can carry a lot of boxes. When my mother buys groceries for the month, we transport them to our apartment in a single trip “Sandra eagerly explained, and Mrs. Cleaver smiled knowingly. Sandra explained that she needed money for medical school, and the manager finally nodded, her lips pursed.
“What do you think? Let’s get started. Can you start working right away?” Sandra almost broke her neck nodding furiously as the manager spoke. She was ecstatic. Mrs. Cleaver led her into the back room and handed her a vest and a broom. Her first task was to sweep the yard because dirt and leaves had accumulated. Sandra did it without hesitation. Mrs. Cleaver then assigned her to clean the customer and employee restrooms, a more difficult task. But the teen promised not to complain and kept her word.
Sandra eventually began receiving all of the dirty and heavy tasks that other employees despised. Some took advantage of this and approached her for assistance when they didn’t necessarily require it. Sandra, on the other hand, did everything gladly for everyone, no matter how difficult the task. Mrs. Cleaver noticed her positive attitude and took note of it.
In a world where teenagers her age aspired to be internet celebrities, it was refreshing to see someone value honest hard work. Sandra had no idea that Mrs. Cleaver had told her superiors, who had told their bosses, and that the store owner had learned about her and decided that a phone call was in order. “Hello?” Sandra picked up her phone. She was on her lunch break at work, so it was fine.
“Is this Sandra, who works at the market?” enquired a male voice. “Yes,” the teenager replied, perplexed. “My name is Ronald, and I own that store,” the man explained, but Sandra laughed. “That’s right. The owner of this store, a large chain, has called me, a random employee. Ha! “She sarcastically laughed. “Girl, you’d better start believing it. Because Mrs. Cleaver and her bosses drew your attention to me, and you know what I value the most in the world?” Ronald went on.
“I’m not sure. Good for business?” “Yes, that as well. But you can only have a successful business because of people like you. Young teenagers nowadays don’t want to do dirty work, and I’ve heard that your dream is to attend medical school. So I’m inviting you to apply for a scholarship from my foundation. We normally only accept seniors, and I understand you’re only 14 years old. But that’s the kind of reward you get for putting in the effort “Ronald elaborated.
“Are you sure you’re serious? Are you Mr. Callahan? Who is the millionaire?” “Yes, I already said that, girl. I’ll send you the application details as soon as possible, and best of luck!” Ronald finished and hung up the phone. Sandra was taken aback. Mrs. Cleaver nodded when she asked if she was sure it was the owner. “I can assist you with the application,” she added. Sandra applied with the help of Mrs. Cleaver and her mother, filling out her resume with all of her school transcripts, extracurricular activities,
and hard work at the store. They sent in their application and hoped for the best. She expected nothing to come of it after a few months. However, her mother had agreed that she could work part-time in the afternoons during the school year to continue building her college fund. But the call came one day in November. She was awarded a $250,000 scholarship, which was more than enough for pre-med, medical school, and possibly a Ph.D. It’s all thanks to her hard work.
