the United States, BET specializes ∈ producing programs for
the African-American community.
[5] Read what this successful executive says about his first
job.
“I ________ ∈Freeport, Illinois. My first job was at the
local carwash. I ________ sixteen years old. I ________ every
day, all summer, for a dollar an hour. I worked with ten other
[10] guys. All of us _______from different racial, religious and
economic backgrounds. We had to clean cars ∈ teams, and
we quickly learned to work together.
I learned the better way to become indispensable: you
know how to do all aspects of your job. At the carwash, ‘all
[15] aspects’ included vacuuming the interior, scrubbing whitewalls
and polishing chrome until it shined. Sixteen years later, when
I started my own business, I again had to know how to do
every job ∈ the company – advertising, marketing, producing
and negotiation contracts.
[20] Working at the carwash taught me that there is a direct
connection between work and a feeling of self-esteem. Young
people who refuse jobs that they consider inferior or low-paying
are only hurting themselves. As long as you do your best, every
job is a learning experience and a step to a better job.”
