WORK SUCKS
When I was 6 years old I saw a white bike with black bold letter. I asked my parents can I have it but they told me no. I told them I would do anything for it. When they heard those words I felt a cold sensation go down my spine. They told me if I wanted the bike I would have to do chores for it. The first thing I did was wash the dishes. I felt the hot dish as it burn my hands as I make the dish water. As I wash the dishes I sniff the once dirty dishes to see if it smells like soap. Once I did that I was my mother slave. Whenever I heard my name I would to go get something for her or do something. After a while I started to see the green. When I got enough money I was able to get my bike I want. When I got the bike I rode it. I could feel the wind in my face and I could also taste it. It oddly tasted like McD’s.
The time I use the lesson work hard was when I had my summer job. During the summer job I would have to work if I wanted to get my paycheck. I would stack boxes in the back room where no one was able to come back there but employees. I would stack the boxes like a stacking machine. After a bit of stacking I would go sweep the back room as if I was someone housekeeper. But if I didn't work hard at keeping the back room clean I would not get paid. So after a bit of hard work it be lunchtime. At lunch I scarfed down my food as if I was a fat man on Thanksgiving. Straight after lunch I would go in the front and help out the customers find what they need and help them buy it. I was a calculator when it came to counting money. I didn't need no type of machine to help me add or subtract the money. I had watch the store sometimes when my boss went to lunch. Sometimes while they were at lunch they would tell me not to sell a thing to no one. I did not listen I still sold stuff without their permission. I thought if sold extra goods I get green. I still didn't see the extra green. But at the summer I made over 500 bucks. This the lesson of how hard I work during my summer job.
