Teamwork

I have been on several sports teams throughout college and high school. However, I have also been on teams at work that we have had to come together to achieve one common goal. My sophomore year of college I was working at Academy Sports and Outdoors. I was in the shoe department. It was the week before Black Friday and things were getting crazy. Our manager in the shoe department called us all in to his office and gave us a goal. He wanted the shoe department to be all in order, shoes in the right place, and sizes of all the shoes in stock. As a team we came together and began to work. It took most of the week to finish the project but we accomplished the goal. While accomplishing the goal it took communication, awareness, and trust that the other person was going to hold up there end. After Black Friday ended, the shoe department was voted the best department in the store. Our manager was extremely proud of the way we came together. We were all rewarded with pizza in the break room for the next week. It was a good time to be in the shoe department.
