It was another sad day． I came home from school， changed my clothes and got ready for work． I worked at a local restaurant in town as a waiter． I didn't like the job very much．
When I was working，three elderly ladies walked in and sat at a table by the windows． I was quite busy， trying to clean up all the dirty tables． These elderly women were watching how hard I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers． When they finished their meals，I took their plates back to the kitchen． They talked to me for about five minutes about school，how I was doing，what grade I was in and what I planned to do in the future．
As they were leaving， they walked past me and one of them said to me in a gentle voice，"You must be successful，" And that was it． They left the restaurant and I was surprised． I had tears in my eyes， because they gave me the reason to trust myself． They picked my spirit up from being down and out and gave me a reason to keep on working hard and to give it my all． People used to tell me that I couldn't have a career in television until I had a degree and was out of college． I'm now a co﹣anchor（主持人） of a student﹣produced television show． I just finished an internship（实习） at a local television station this past summer． And the best thing is， I'm only 17 years old and I am a student in a high school．
