My First Job

　　 I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula. Okla. __1__ the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I __2__ out of old boards.

　　 I got my first __3__ job, at JM's Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责) were __4__ tables and washing dishes, __5__ sometimes I helped cook.

　　 Every day after school I would __6__ to JM's and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I __7__ from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and __8__ my friends run off to swim or play. I didn't necessarily like work, but I loved what working __9__ me to have. Because of my __10__ I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me __11__.

　　 Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working__12__around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐) __13__ I was only in seventh grade. I immediately __14__ a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was __15__ only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $90! So I learned __16__ the danger of easy credit. I paid it__17__ as soon as I could.

　　 My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a __18__ of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, __19__ worked three jobs, once told me, "If you __20__ sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can't have." How right he was.
