-I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okla. __
_31__ the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I__
32__out of old boards.
I got my first__
33__job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities(职责) were__
34__tables and washing dishes,__
35__sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would__
36__to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I__
37__from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and__
38__my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working__
39__me to have. Because of my__
40__I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me__
41__.
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working__
42__around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐)__
43__I was only in seventh grade. I immediately__
44__a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was__
45__only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $90! So I learned__
46__the danger of easy credit. I paid it_
_47__as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a__
48__of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father,__
49__worked three jobs, once told me, "If you_
_50__sacrifice(奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have." How right he was.
