Meet Jason:
I didn’t know much about him when I hired him other than he needed
work. Over the last few months I have learned a little about his life,
some of which has touched my heart. Jason knew nothing about detailing
when I hired him, he was going to school from 7 am – noon, and worked
at Fed Ex to pay for his living expenses. He was completely on his own;
he had no financial support from any of his family. In short
conversations with Jason I could tell he was having a hard time making
ends meet. His commitment to doing a good job was always a priority
when he worked for me, and his interest in detailing, grew daily. He
found great satisfaction in this work, and of the few times I seen him
smile was when I complimented him on a job well done. I trained him on
interior work, and I was amazed how quickly he learned. Within a few
months he was performing work comparable to anything I could do. In
fact, a few times he taught me a few things. He never let his personal
life effect his work, but from time to time he would open up.
This is so typical of the tragedy that occurs with young people
today. Jason represents a majority of what happens to young people that
learn too quickly the pain and heartache of being on their own. Living
at home gives kids a false sense of security that will forever, and
money is just a phone call away (from Mom and Dad). Sadly, most parents
can hardly afford to pay a portion of their child’s education, much
less all of it. So when the child realizes he must start working in
order to live, that starts the cycle of events that dig a hole hard to
crawl out of.
A few times I noticed Jason was tired and wasn’t get enough
sleep. I talked to him about and a few times suggested he get more
rest. It was out of the question though because of his rigorous
schedule. I even bought lunch for him several times because he didn’t
have enough money to eat. When I see him, I see my own kids, wondering
if they will experience tough times like this. As a parent I try to
stress the importance of a quality education, along with some
sense of knowing how to budget and manage their time. I feel for Jason,
just as I do my own. I will take care of Jason as long as he works for
me. I hope as he moves along in life others people will offer him
support. Unfortunately the school of hard knocks makes all people pay
eventually. The solution is preparation, which is the lesson to be
learned. Gary Owner Perfect Auto Finish
