Today is going quite well. All I can say today has been very relaxing and eye-opening- sort of. My mother works for the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) as an insurance advisor. Therefore, she does not stay in her office located at Kennedy and Steeles for most of the time. She mostly works at home making phone calls, sending e-mails, and doing paperwork in her office at my house. I have been to my mother's legitimate office billions of times- figuratively speaking. However, since I decided to participate in Take Your Kids to Work day, my mother took me to her office since she had to fill out some forms and pick up a few policies that have been recently approved. The office is enormous. It is twice the size of Victoria Park C. I.'s cafeteria. However, it is occupied by vacant cubicles and meeting rooms- since most of the employees like my mother has their own appointments with clients to attend or work to do at their offices at home.
This brings me to explain why I am at home at this moment. I spent the morning in a cubicle studying for DECA, a business competition. The written exam will be done tomorrow afterschool, and the oral competition will be held at Ryerson University on Saturday along with the awards ceremony. Then, I returned home at noon when my mother finished with her paperwork and would like to return home to start telemarketing. Yes, I said it: telemarketing. It is because of the fact that telemarketing is what puts a roof over my head that I have gain respect for the people who call my home interrupting my dinner.
I helped my mom send some e-mails (which I do every evening for her) and then continued with my studying for the DECA competition.
I wouldn't say that today was much of an experience since I am practically helping my mother run her business every evening when I help her with paperwork and emails, but I can say that this opportunity should be taken advantage of to experience the work force.
It was a wonderful day!
