As I was growing up, my mum

Always said, do not talk to strangers

Every day I would walk home from

High school. Along the way I would

Always meet all kinds of different people.

There were so many different races

I felt as if I were in the twilight zone

Lots of important business people

I could always tell by the way

They were dressed. Everyone would talk in different languages. They were always nice,

Everyone would wave or say hello.

I never met a stranger, I was always nice.

It’s a great thing I didn’t listen to her.

Two day before school was out, as I was walking home I noticed this old couple.

I had seen them several times, but this time it was different. They stopped me as I was approaching. Young lady, stop may we have a word with you,and I agreed, the couple needed help for they were getting old and they knew school was about out. They said that they had been talking and had noticed me everyday.

This offer would change my life, they offered me a nice salary monthly plus pay my way thru college, boy was I surprised. I could not refuse the offer since this job is close to home.

It’s a good thing I didn’t listen to her.

I probably would of never landed this job so close to home. Two days before the end of my high school year. This would be the start of my career into the Buisness world. Sometimes it pays off to always be nice with a smile or a simple hello. I’m not saying everyones out come would be as good as mine.
