When I was younger, about 14, I was already ready to work. My father was a dairy man and he had been working his entire life. For him, getting up at 5 a.m. and working 36 hours before I went to school, and then working more after school until there was not enough 37 to see, were 38 .
My father considered putting good work ethics in me to be very 39 . He began to show me these, not through words, but through his actions. He would not 40 a job until it was done. He 41 put his all into everything he did. However, he showed me this not just in 42 , but in everything. Like when I was in soccer, I wanted to 43 a game once, and he explained to me that I had made a 44 and that even if I just skipped one game, I did not 45 to play the rest of the games.So the day I started my first job at the age of 14, I was 46 to show my father that I could do it well, and that I was not going to 47 . My entire 48 was to make my father proud of me. I knew that 49 I did, he would not say it in words, but he would show it. My first job was doing construction for a company. As most of you know, construction is not an easy job, 50 being so young. When someone as young as I was started working, they would either 51 or get stronger. I got stronger. I worked the 52 I had been taught and I gave that day everything I had. In the end, my boss was 53 . He even called to tell my parents what a good worker I was, and my parents' eyes shone. From that day 54 I have worked every job to my full 55 , because that day defined my life. It defined how I was going to work, and I will always stick to it.
