A time that I learned something in a very unexpected way was when I learned how to control things under pressure. I learned this while working in a hotel in the USA, specifically in a restaurant that was very busy all night. We usually had around a hundred covers, so I really learned how to manage my tasks under pressure. I was there with my chef and my coworkers. My chef was the one who applied the pressure. It's unexpected because before I started, I thought working in the kitchen wouldn't be that hard. On my first day, it wasn't too busy, but the week after, it became extremely busy. This experience taught me a lot about handling stress and multitasking, which I hadn't anticipated. It was a significant learning moment for me, and it really changed my perspective on working in a fast-paced environment.
