You Can Do It

Monica 11.15.2023

Having a good work ethic means working hard and getting all your chores finished. If you get all of your chores done you won’t have any more chores to do.

I think having a good work ethic is important because if you do not have a good work ethic, you will not have a good job or you will be fired from your job.

I think when you are babysitting you have to have a good work ethic because you have to know how to watch your cousins, and make sure your cousins don’t get into any trouble or get hurt or get into any accidents. You can do it. Just try not to be so hard on yourself.

I showed my strong work ethic when I worked at Marshalls. I worked in the beauty department. I helped the customers with whatever they need like showing them where the makeup is and the jewelry, or if they need an opinion on dresses.
