Working Backstage

There are many kinds of part-time-jobs in the society. I think the most popular jobs for students like me are waiter, waitress, clerk and tutor. I experienced waitress and clerk in the café. But I had strong desire to work in a very different kind of working place in this summer. I thought that might be a good experience for me. So I became a garbage collector in the amusement park this summer vacation. There, I felt pleasure and pride of working in the background.
First, we protect the safety inside the amusement park. The garbage collectors sometimes can do exciting and amuse guests, but most of the job is inconspicuous. Having a broom and a dust pan, we walk around in the park all day. But the only people who can walk around are us. Other workers can’t move from their posts. So we can find some trouble quickly and do something about that without delay.
Second, we can be a multi position for every kind of guests because we can stop our cleaning tasks whenever. If you want to know when the parade will start, you can ask us. If you get a sick suddenly, we will help you. If you don’t know where is the best position to see the fire works well, we’ll tell you. If you can’t take the picture with some monument well, we can help you. We sometimes become entertainers, nurses, information boards, advisers, photographers, as the guest requires.
Finally, what we are most proud of is the beauty of the amusement park. Sometime, I stop moving my broom and look around inside the park. I can find people who enjoy talking on the bench that I just wiped now. I can also find a boy sitting on the ground. The ground is very beautiful because I cleaned if with some antiseptics. I can also find a girl who is skipping in front of the beautiful flower garden that I removed packages of snack from just now. I always feel pride, when I look at the guests playing in the peaceful and dreamy atmosphere.
Changing my part-time-job to a very different thing was right answer. Maybe I couldn’t feel this kind of impression if I didn’t any action. My job is very inconspicuous and dirty. We don’t do some exciting thing like a dancer or attraction staff. Therefore there is something we can offer.
