Then I applied for positions that would help me become a better me.
Finally I took the leap of faith and applied for a bank.

Day to Day
On daily basis, I can receive up to 400+ calls. All in which customers or merchants are calling in looking to process applications, credit limit increases, updating accounts, etc. I do not work face to face with my customers, but I do provide an experience for them. I also speak to representatives from small and large businesses. With them I assist with locating payments, making payments, balancing check books, etc. I can speak to the owner of the company all the way down to the janitor.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
The first most important step is to surround yourself with like minded people. People that are in the business that you want to go into. Also just networking. Being able to take that step outside of your comfort of learning something new.
