Work. Oh the word most of us try to avoid. In my short time here on this Earth I have held my fair share of jobs. Serving, receptionist work, sale, and lastly banking. Work isn't always the finest place to be. Coming from someone who literally answers phone calls all day at a call center, I can tell you, some days are hard. But one thing always remains the same, and seems to be the sanity to my life. As I'm sure almost everyone can relate.

1. They Get It.

They know exactly what you deal with on a daily basis. They understand the frustrations that come with any job. They see how crazy your schedule can be and understand that when you need a break, i's time for Tini Tuesday.

2. Acceptance.

They accept you, but only because you forced them to sit at the desk next to you, so they have to learn how to cope.

3. The Games.

Who would have known that playing ping pong at work could be an actual thing? The competitions and the outrageous amount of fun we find around the office is enough to keep us from actually going crazy.

4. They Care.

No matter what happens, they really do care. Whether it's you realizing that this isn't the place for you, or that you're them for another department, even a promotion. They want you to succceed.

5. The Group Chats.

THE SNAP CHATS. They become your biggest cheerleaders in whatever is going on in your life. Have a formal to attend? They're the first to compliment your dress. Bought a car? They're the first to congratulate you on your new purchase.

6. They Make Work Not So Bad.

I have honestly never love going into work as much as I do now. These people become family. A family that is actually fun. (; These people motivate me more than my paycheck...

7. Being Real.

They have to be your coworker. But they choose to be your friend. And let me tell you, that's pretty huge!

8. Coworkers Or ....

Family. They aren't just coworkers. They are everything in between the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.

I would like to thank my trainers, our mentors, our coaches, and most importantly the class of 02/06/2017 for being exactly who they are, and accepting me into their new family. I love you all! Now I'm going to hit meeting and take a nap.
