I would walk behind an ox(牛), guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. Ive never been late for any job. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didnt want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a mans job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a threeroom wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me selfesteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course(高尔夫球场)near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway(球道) and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered (用锤子敲打) an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the fieldexcept now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick. 【导学号：31530061】【语篇解读】作者第一份工作是赶着牛犁甘蔗地，感觉这份工作没意思；但是这份工作教会了作者很多道理。5.

And after just a few months of going to school fulltime and working fulltime, he was ready to give in.“Im working too much.Im not going to do it.Its impossible.But then you get some help, and thats my break.” The break was a $1，500 scholarship from the Gardeners Foundation.In the last two years, the foundation has awarded 13 such prizes to lowincome kids, regardless of citizenship. And Tabia plans to give out hundreds more.How does a gardener come up with that kind of cash? “I was thinking and thinking and suddenly, the clients！” he said. “Thats where the money is coming from. We work for clients with a lot of money.” Tabia and his gardener friends just started knocking on those mansion doorsand the checks have been rolling in ever since.“There might be some gardeners at your graduation，” someone said to Noel. “Im sure there will and Im going to invite them，” he replied.Tabia is now hoping this idea catches on with the gardeners around the country.
