I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much school work. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to of fer. I just accepted that I
wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for busi ness in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late night and early morning with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested me that I should do a course and met a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school.
She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

My life began similarly to most children even though my parents left me. I grew up without knowing what a father or mother was and no one was there to teach me how to behave and tell
right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol (酗酒) and spent seven years as a boy on the street, before ending up in a rehab clinic (康复诊所) when I was 20.
Inside I met my counselor (辅导员), Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we stopped then and looked at me in a serious, but loving way and said, “No, you won’t.” He told me that I didn’t own him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed to this day, “One day when you’ll be around someone who will need a coffee, you’ll be able to buy it for them. That’s how you can pay me back.”
I’m a primary school teacher now, far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.
