Drive Through Diaries
A Lesson in Life and Fries

Many teens and young adults enter the workforce with little idea of what to expect and without the necessary skills to succeed from the start. The education system often emphasizes academic success and test performance, equipping students with the knowledge to excel in a school environment. However, this focus leaves many young people unprepared for the challenges they will face in the working world. The transition from school to work can be daunting, as they find themselves navigating new environments, expectations, and social dynamics without a clear roadmap. My book aims to fill this gap by teaching teens how to handle tough situations at their workplace and how to incorporate those skills into their daily life as well. The skills outlined in my book are universal and serve as important building blocks for future jobs, social interactions with friends, and overall success. Through funny anecdotes and personal experiences working at Mcdonald’s, I provide both a good laugh and practical examples that readers can use as guides to incorporate my lessons into their lives. They can learn from my mistakes and use my strengths as models to be successful at work.
