Dear Coworkers,
First of all, I just want to thank you — thank you for welcoming me and being so patient with me when I was training. It took me a while to learn what to do, but I could not have done it without your help. You made coming to work every day a lot of fun! I looked forward to work because I knew I would have a good time working with you. You made the busy moments more bearable and the slow times pass by. Thank you for sharing parts of your life and telling me about your families and past experiences. It made me feel special that you felt comfortable enough with me to share those parts of your lives. I really enjoyed getting to know the part of you that I don't see at work.
I have to say that the best part of my summer job was working with all of you. Some days were harder than others, but knowing you were also going through those rough days made it better. This summer was a big transition for me but you made it not so hard, and I am so happy to have been able to work with such amazing individuals.
There were days when I came into to work and the last thing I wanted to do was be there and be engaging with other people. But my mood quickly changed because working with you all had that effect on me. Having to always be "on stage" in a sense when I was at work seemed challenging on those days, but your infectious positive moods and personalities made me want to be just as positive.
This was the first summer that I worked 40 hours a week. It was quite the transition and took some getting used to. But knowing I had such a great job with such wonderful people made me appreciate having a job where I could spend so much time with so many great people. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to grow and learn so much about myself and about the business we worked in.
This job allowed me to grow more as a person and taught me valuable life lessons that I can take with me as I continue my journey to adulthood. Seeing how you handled tough situations with such patience and humility made me want to follow your example and do the same. This industry definitely teaches you these skills and many others.
It is bittersweet that I only have a few more days at this job. You all keep talking about how much you will miss having me around, but it is I who will truly miss all of you. You have made an impact on my life, and I will never forget the summer I worked with all of you. I hope that we can stay in touch after I leave and that I can see how you are doing. Thank you for helping me learn about the industry, about your lives and about myself. Your support and guidance these past few months will not be forgotten. I will cherish this summer and all the memories and laughs we have had together. Thank you for being you and thank you for letting me be part of your work family.
Love,
Your summer coworker
