I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children. There was a time when I thought I would never have a good job.
    I wasn't a good student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.
    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 more hours one week， she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately， it didn't often work out. I was getting very tired， 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（資格證書）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 asked me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience was useful and I was accepted. I had to leave my job with the family， and got work at a kindergarten.
    Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a good future， even if you aren't top of the class at school.
