During Valentines Day/Night our dishwashing machine broke and started flooding. Our head chef had never encountered a problem like this and was stressing out because he didnt know what to do.

Although it has given me the skills on being more aware of things and given me the ability to work harder and fast and tight situations.6) How has this experience attributed to your growth as a 21stCentury Graduate (Relate to one or more of School district #23s attributes thinker, innovator, collaborator ,contributor and leaner)This job has strongly developed my sense in being organized and being a quick thinker for being able to work in a fast paced environment being a Kitchen staff member.
