Read the paragraph from a personal narrative.

Today was my first day working as a waitress at Pete's Pizza Haven, and I could not have been more excited. In fact, I was so excited that I rushed to get ready much faster than I typically do. "I'm ready to go!" I shouted, bouncing down the stairs and flying into the kitchen, where my mom was making breakfast. "I have so much to learn and don't want to be late," I declared for emphasis. My mom just grinned and placed a steaming plate of eggs before me.
