community practice #1

As a part time job I work as a waiter at a seafood restaurant on the shoreline of Westbrook  CT called Lenny and Joes Fishtale. I began working there as a buss boy when I turned sixteen seven years ago. Throughout the years I have become very close with the entire staff, including the spanish speaking employees that work there. I have learned a lot about them and their culture as well as teaching them whatever I can about ours because they are just as eager to learn about our culture as we are to learn about theirs. Every time I go into work I learn something new by talking to them in their language and conversing with them. When I get stuck and don't know how to say a word or phrase in spanish they help me out until I find what I am trying to say. And I do the same for them.
