How Chick-Fil-A Changed My Life

But it wasn't the chicken.

How Chick-Fil-A Changed My Life
Alyssa Decker

Everyone is always praising Chick-Fil-A for their incredible customer service and their deliciously tasting chicken.

There are memes and videos everywhere about the service of Chick-Fil-A, there are even Instagram pages about the behind the scenes of employees dropping things and falling. It all seems fun and games and no one ever seems upset. And I'm here to tell you that none of it is a mask, every single one of us is in love with our job.

When I first started working at Chick-Fil-A, I was convinced that it just wasn't the job for me. It was difficult for me to warm up to others after working at my first job for almost three years.

The work was a lot harder and the shifts were a lot longer. Building stamina is a hard thing to do, but I'm forever proud of myself for making it to where I am today.

Today I have been with Chick-Fil-A for nearly a year and have created bonds with not only co-workers but guests as well that I will never forget.

Chick-Fil-A has brought me to one of my best friends, my church home, and a person inside me that I never knew was there. I've grown more as a person in this past year than I ever imagined I would.

Every single one of my co-workers at this company is constantly there for each other, making sure they are where they need to be. Group chats full of prayer requests and praying with each other.

Christmas parties full of happiness and praising Jesus and so much more. This might only be my second job, but I've never worked for such an amazing and caring company.

Having a job that I look forward to going to every day is not something I expected to get out of a fast food restaurant. I never expected to grow so close to co-workers as I have here, and I never expected to meet a best friend that would teach me the word of God and help me through every obstacle I encounter, including getting me through my freshman year of college.

Thank you, Chick-Fil-A for your food, your staff, for your dedication to God, and everything you do in between working hard for your employees and your community.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
