  “Be proud of what you do.” My father often tells me. “whether（无论是）you are a manager or a cleaner. ”At the age of 15, I got my first job—a summer job in a hospital. My work is to wash dishes and sweep the floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s words.

    My job was the lowest, but it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge（挑战）because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. People in hospital all liked me. Every morning I always thought that the dirty dishes would make people ill without my job to wash them. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patients’(people who are ill) rooms and cleaning restrooms. I was very tired, but I wanted to do the job well. People often say, “That young boy really does a good job.” That gave me a pride（自豪）.

  Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is important. It doesn’t matter whether the job is sweeping floors or doing a large business. I have swept floors, and I have been a manager. My father’s words have always stayed with me. I think Dad would be proud of me.
