April 28th isTake Our Sons and Daughters to Work Dayall over the US. On that day kids leave school and go to work with their 1. This holiday shows what it means to be a grown-up in the 2world. It helps kids know something about real-life jobs and get them 3for their work in the future.
I still remember I was very 4when this day started. Because I could stay away from 5for a whole day, sit in my dad's 6all day long and go to a restaurant for lunch together!
But after only 20 minutes of 7around the city, I began to feel less 8. I couldn't read in the car 9I would get car-sick. My dad didn't like to 10the radio. I couldn't enjoy the music. People wouldn't get 11his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: ME—so 12stopped us for a ride. It seemed like years before we went out for lunch 13. I actually started to think of going back to school.
I learned something quite 14from 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 to 15school now. If you don't already, try spending the day at work with your dad.
