April 28th is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. On that day kids leave school and go to work with their1. This holiday shows what it means to be a grown-up in the2world. It helps kids know something about real-life jobs and get them3for their work in the future.
I still remember I was very4when this day started. Because I could stay away from5for a whole day, sit in my dad's6all day long and go to a restaurant for lunch together!
But after only 20 minutes of7around the city, I began to feel less8. I couldn't read in the car9I would get car-sick. My dad didn't like to10the radio. I couldn't enjoy the music. People wouldn't get11his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: ME—so12stopped us for a ride. It seemed like years before we went out for lunch13. I actually started to think of going back to school.
I learned something quite14from the day—I began to have a different feeling for school. Where else can I play with my friends, read great books and do science experiments all in one day? Just as you'll have to learn to love your job later in life, learn to15school now. If you don't already, try spending the day at work with your dad.
