My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was 36 the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me 37 to do it well, telling me to 38 to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t 39 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant 40 I was also working for the good of the family. But my father 41 said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I 42 to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the 43 . I was 44 paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he 45 give me $10 a week.

It has nothing to do with 55 that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.
