His famous parents might be worth(:身价)￡165 million，but it seems Brooklyn
Beckham decides not to depend on them．Instead，the 15-year-old boy is learning the real meaning of money…by making his own．
Brooklyn Beckham，Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest child，has started a weekend job at a West London coffee shop where he is paid￡2.68 an hour．A member of staff said that Brooklyn did start working in the shop and got on OK with other members．News of his decision to make his own money and not depend on his rich parents made him a good model for other teenagers．
Last year, Beckham，who had retired from football，said，“We try to lead by example，by showing them it’s important to work hard．”And one friend of his family said that Brooklyn would have been encouraged to take the job by his parents．
Children who grow up in different cultures have different views on money．
In many western countries，children are usually taught to believe that money is made instead of being given．They usually buy things with their own pocket money．They take up part-time jobs in their free time．However，most of the Chinese children don’t have any conscious(意识)of making money through their own hard work．Some children think that their parents will support them forever．Whenever they meet difficulties，they will turn to their parents or friends for help．Why can’t they solve these problems by their own? The main reason is that they are always depending on others．In fact，they have got the ability to work out these easy problems．
Children in western countries show their independence(独立性)．They take pride in themselves by making their own decisions．Many Chinese children，however，are still looking to their parents or even their grandparents to tell them what to do or which job they should choose．
As secondary school students，we should learn to be more independent．We should find some new ways to solve old problems．What we are learning in schol or after school now will be very helpful some day．To us students who want to make great achievements in the future，it is the most important to learn how to be independent．
