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 schoolwork. I n my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer .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 business 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 nights and early mornings 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 that I should do a course and get 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 par ttime course .I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a fulltime 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.
