My First Job

One day after school I went over to my dads office to hangout and catch a ride home. While I was there my dad was in a meeting with a gentleman about a piece of real estate he was selling him. When the meeting was over my dad introduced me and him. The guy seemed to like me and offered me a job to work with him over the summer. As a money hungry teenager I immediately said yes and took the job. That summer I showed up to work and the guy handed me a shovel and told me I had to dig a hole for a egress window that had to be 8ft X 6ft. My jaw dropped, I was unsure if i was going to be able to dig this hole. At the end of the day I had gotten a little over half of the hole dug and then went home. I told my parents I didn't want to do the work any more and I wanted to quit. They insisted on me staying and powering through and see what happens. So the next day I showed up and finished digging the hole. By boss was pleased with the work I did and put me on a new job that I enjoyed doing. That day I learned that you need to have a good work ethic in order to get what you want. Nothing you want in life is just going to come to you, you have to earn it.
