Chapter 5: Review at Station Square
The next day, I met Sarah, James, and Henri at the Grand Concourse at Station Square in downtown Pittsburgh, along with some of my other best friends Alex Russo, Justin Evans, and Max Greenwald. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. I got a glass of craft beer to drink before I got some food to eat, including pancakes, bacon, ham, eggs, vegetables, prime rib, fried potatoes, rice, fruit, muffins, cookies, and ice cream for dessert. One of James's good high school friends, Daniel, was joining us for a guest speaker on his current job. "Who is this, James?" Justin asked. "This is one of my good friends from high school, Daniel," James introduced. "He was also an applicant waiting to get in to Carnegie Mellon University's scholarship interview." "Coincidentally, that was the same day that Angel and I ate here for her birthday dinner," Sarah added. "That would have been fun," Alex agreed. "Now, I am not sure whether to eat here or at Denunzio's for my birthday!" "If I didn't have a scholarship interview like James did, I would have definitely wanted to eat here," Justin agreed. Once everybody else got their food, Daniel began his speech. Daniel gave a speech on his job as a caterer at Grand Concourse. His main jobs included organizing the food and making sure the food was cooked and well-prepared for guests to eat. Daniel even passed out copies of the Sunday Brunch menu for us to keep. He told us how he hoped we would all visit Grand Concourse again, and he would be sure to do a very good job catering our meals. After Daniel finished our speech and we got our bills, we went outside on the dock and played a game in which we talked about one thing we learned from the 15 weeks. "I learned about different types of communication on the job from James's high school friend, Alexander, as how to and how not to communicate with others when I work," I told everyone. "Boy, James's friends give such good advice!" James felt blessed when I mentioned that. I passed the yarn to Alex. "I liked when Sarah gave me tips on what to do in a crisis last week," Alex stated. Alex passed the yarn to Sarah. "I learned that I can be enthusiastic in some classes like history class, but not others, like gym class, and how to carry my enthusiasm from middle school over into my job," Sarah stated. Sarah passed the yarn to James. "I learned how to do a perfect resume with Angel's help, just like with my school picture," James stated. James passed the yarn to Justin. "I learned about what it is like to further my education by going to graduate school," Justin stated. Justin passed the yarn to Max. "I learned about finding an individual apartment to live in as an adult," Max stated. Max passed the yarn to Henri. "I learned about how John Quincy would not make fun of me for saying I have good organizational skills during an interview," Henri stated. We made a yarn web. "Since I won't see you for your birthday, Alex, I wish you a very happy birthday," Sarah told Alex. "Thank you, Sarah," Alex replied. "I hope you and your stepbrothers have a good time traveling New England these next 2 weeks!" "We leave on Friday and return 2 weeks later," Sarah reminded us. "I guess you can't come to my birthday dinner on May 7, which I still can't decide whether to have here or at Denunzio's, although my mom already planned for us to go to Denunzio's," Alex continued. "Thanks for a great 15 weeks everyone!" I told everyone. "You're welcome," Sarah replied. "Bye, guys!" "Bye!"
