Our oldest son, Hayden, will be 16 next month and has completed his first shift at McDonald & # 39; s this evening.
He spent the whole evening cleaning up and learning how to do the various tasks.
When I picked him up at the end of his shift, he had a smile on his face and a feather in his crotch.

He always wants to learn more.
I know it's not glamorous, but it's a great place to start.
As a father, I am very proud that he has a great approach to work.
He understands that it isn't being given to him on a silver platter, but he has to do the grunt work first.
And if he can go on with a smile.
When he can maintain a fantastic attitude.
If he can build good relationships with his colleagues.
When he can find a way to make a positive contribution to the team and the business.
If he can continue to learn and grow.
Who knows where it will end?
But I have a good feeling about it.
So:
