A time when I feel like I was at my best would have to be this past summer. There are two fields that I have a particularly strong passion for, one being electrical and the other mechanical. For the past three summers I worked at an automotive shop and for the most part I'd done basic oil changes, tire repairs, new tires, and anything else that came up on the full service. But the guy above me had recently gotten a new job prior to this summer so I got the chance to step up to the plate in terms of the work I was doing. It was all stuff I'd helped do before so I was confident in my abilities and the fact that my boss was too really made me feel good about myself. I loved going to work, knowing that with each stride I had a purpose and people came to me looking for advice and instruction. It was great coming to work knowing that I'd do anything from putting in a new radiator, alternator, or starter to doing a transmission flush or air conditioner recharge. My stride was solid and sure of itself and that's why I believe I was at my best this past summer.
