This Thursday，across the US，kids are going to work with their parents instead of going to school．
They can help their parents do some cleaning，send e﹣mails and deal with other daily things．Because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US．This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grown﹣up in the working world．
I still remember when this day started，I was very happy．Not only did I have the chance to leave the
school，but I also could sit in my dad's taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch．
I couldn't read my book in the car as I would get carsick（晕车） and my dad didn't like to
turn on the radio．I got hot and uncomfortable．People wouldn't get into his taxi because they thought
he already had a passenger：me﹣﹣so nothing happened．It seemed years before we went out for lunch．In fact，I started to miss the school．
Although the purpose of the day is to give kids a chance to experience possible jobs in their futures，I got something completely different from the day．I learned to value school life．Where else can you play with your friends，do science experiments，read great books and write stories all in one day？
Just like you'll have to learn to love your job later in life，learn to love school now． If you don't，try spending the day at work with your dad．
