Long days at the camp taught me what it means to work hard and to work as a team, supporting my fellow colleagues when they needed it most. I also learned how to find energy in myself when I didn't think I had any left. At the garden centre I gained first hand experience with customer interaction, both as a salesman and as a cashier. This provided me with a varied experience at helping clients get what they wanted, whether it was their Christmas tree or a refund.
