Most people dread going to their jobs. They hate putting on their plain uniform, and dealing with crabby and ungrateful people, not to mention the drive to work for these people is almost as terrible as work itself. I am nothing like this. Every day before I work, I put on my athletic shorts, t-shirt, socks, and I am excited to start my job. I enjoy my drive to work, and when I get there I am greeted by a few co-workers. I then put my bags in the office, and make my way to the gym. The other coaches and I set up for the day, and when the clock reads nine in the morning, about 30 energetic six to ten year old girls run onto the floor and get ready to start their gymnastics class.

The main reason I love my jobs is not my uniform or my pay. I love both my jobs so much because I have the opportunity to do what I love every day. As a coach I get the chance to train, teach, and mentor kids each day. Teaching is something I love to do, especially with children.

It would just be a hassle for me to be around. When what Willy hoped for is put into reality, it sounds like a joke. Adam Davidson writes about his encounter with a young lady named Maddie in his essay Making it in America. She worked at an assembly line in South Carolina, and was very good at her job and well-liked. Davidson writes, “she continued to impress people by working hard, learning quickly, and displaying a good attitude” (337). She wasn’t boastful of her abilities at work or at home; she only put in the effort so that it would later pay back in life. That is exactly what I have tried to do in my working experience. When I am ever having a hard day at work, I think of the best outcome of my unconventional jobs: I get paid double. It is not that I get my salary raised, but I receive more benefits than just a check in my wallet. In both jobs I get the satisfaction of a job-well-done. Whether it be helping a six-year-old girl finally master her cartwheel, or finishing the cherry red civil war gown after working on it for a whole week, both are equally
