I participated in the Santa Claus breakfast through school.  It took place at our local park called “Carrie Blake Park.”  It is an annual event and I participated in it two years.  I believe it was during my sophomore and junior year in high school but I maybe mistaken.  We could do several different things that ranged from holding the door open, placing people at tables to eat, serving juice and coffee, and what I did was taking peoples tickets, ordering their food, and picking it up and taking it to them. 

I actually really liked doing this.  It was fun for me because of the hussle and bussle.  You were constantly working, trying to get peoples coupons as soon as possible and making sure they received their food once it was done.  I guess the part I enjoyed the most was the work, being a waitress for a day, and of course we got free breakfast and honor society hours which we all need 10 of per semester.

I don’t think that service will really help me very much in this coming service.  The two services are so broad and different from eachother.  You are serving in both but in different ways.  In my first one it was more of a fast pace service.  It wasn’t really important that you talked or got to know the people you were serving but rather to get them their food so that they had a pleasent experience.  In this upcoming service it’s more about quality rather than quanity like in the other case.  You are to be more focused on the people you are working with.  Rather than serving them food your serving them with your time.
