Excerpt

When I was sixteen years old I decided that I needed a job. My parents, like many, were relieved that I felt this way. The expressions of generosity in their faces when I asked for money became less evident as time passed. I was not at all thrilled about the hamburger joint or gas station scene. Fortunately, my dad had heard that the Red Barn Greenhouse was in need of a few more workers, so I decided to save myself from grease and gas, and took the job. Despite the sometimes strenuous work, it was a good job, and not just because of money in the bank. It helped me to cherish all the little blessings in life.
