Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's job is important．It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business．Through every job I have ever had, my father's words have always stayed with me．I have swept floors, and I have been a manager (經(jīng)理)．I think Dad would be proud of me．
