When my uncle mentioned that he needed an extra summer worker for his landscaping business. I volunteered myself for the job. He
hesitated at first, probably wondering whether I'd have a sufficient work ethic. However, I managed to convince my uncle that I was a diligent
worker who should be given a chance.
Ever since I was a kid I'd helped out in my family's vegetable garden, so I thought I knew what hard work was. I now understand that
spending the occasional hour here and there pulling weeds is nothing like the backbreaking labor of full-time landscaping work. Day after day.
hour after hour, I assisted my uncle and his team in hauling saplings, bushes, and plants to people's gardens. We dug and planted, weeded
and watered, sweating under the hot sun.
That first week, every muscle in my body ached, and I was tempted to give up. However, I've never been a quitter, and so I forced myself
to stick it out to the bitter end.
