I was six when I joined my father's fields in Okla. By the time I was eight, I was helping Dad
36 old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I
37 out of old boards. I got my first real job, at JM's Restaurant when I was 12. My main responsibilities were
38 tables. At that age, it was
39 going to work and glimpsed at my friends run off to swim or play. I didn't necessarily like work, but I loved what working
40 me to have. Because of my job, I was always the first one to buy something delicious. This made me
41 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working
42 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit despite my young age. I immediately bought an expensive coat and shoes on credit. I was
43 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the store keeper $90!
So I learned
44 the danger of easy credit. I paid it off as soon as I could. My first job taught me
45 and brought me a level of personal satisfaction few of my friends had
46 . As my father, who worked three jobs, once told me, “If you understand sacrifice and
47 , there are not many things in life you can't have.” How right he was.
