What kind of person would probably apply to Palmlace Limited?
Mom is my life teacher.“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said 1 I faced disappointment.“If you 2 one day something good will happen.And you'll 3 that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was 4 , as I discovered after graduating from college, I had decided to try for a job 5 radio, then work my way up to 6 .In Chicago, I knocked on the door of every station and got 7 every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an 8 person, “Go out to find a small station,” she suggested.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. 9 , there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and 10 a local athlete to manage its sports department.Since Dixon was 11 I had played high school football, I applied.The job sounded 12 right for me.But I wasn't hired.
My 13 must have shown.“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport.The program director, named Peter Mac Arthur, told me they had already hired one.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over.I asked aloud, “How 14 a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?”
I was leaving when I heard Mac Arthur calling,“ 15 was that you said about sports? Do you know 16 about football?” Then he 17 me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast a(n) 18 game.After that, Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday's game!
On my way home, 19 since, I always thought of my mother's words:“If you carry on, one day something good will happen.And you'll”…
I often wonder what 20 my life might have taken if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
“Everything happens for the best, ” my mother said whenever I was disappointed.“Don't worry.One day your luck will change.”
I didn't pay attention to her words.After finishing my college education, I decided to look for a job in a radio station.I wanted to host a sports programme.I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station.But I got turned down every time.
In one station, a kind lady said to me that I hadn't got enough experience.“Get to a small station and work for some time, ” she said.
When I went back home, my dad told me that a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him.But again, I didn't get the job.
I felt really down.“Your luck will change, ” Mum said to me.Later, I tried another radio station in Iowa.But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone to work for him.As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员)if he can't get a job in a radio station? ”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call, “What did you mean? Do you know anything about football? ” He let me sit in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, and finally I succeeded.
On my way home, Mum's words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son.”
