Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your
child with today’s homework.
Option 3: Collections: HOW I SERVED MY APPRENTICESHIP 1900
I soon … served as a “bobbin-boy,” and this is how I
began my preparation for …apprenticeship as a business man. I received one
dollar and twenty cents a week, and was then just about twelve years old. I
cannot tell you how proud I was when I received my first week’s own earnings.
One dollar and twenty cents made by myself and given to me because I had been
of some use in the world! No longer entirely dependent upon my parents, but at
last admitted to the family partnership as a contributing member and able to
help them!
I think this makes a man out of a boy sooner than
almost anything else, and a real man, too, if there be any germ of true manhood
in him. It is everything to feel that you are useful. I have had to deal with
great sums. Many millions of dollars have since passed through my hands. But
the genuine satisfaction I had from that one dollar and twenty cents outweighs
any subsequent pleasure in money-getting.
