Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the
cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1
a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.
It was very tedious work, but it
prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation
owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard
as I could. I’ve never
been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful
to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered
my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to
work.
I was only six years old, but I
was doing a man’s job.
Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned
more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor
and no toilet. Nothing made
me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and
three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of
the most important things a person can have.
When I was seven, I got work at a
golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the
balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were
fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of
making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I
thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I
hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small
holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same
devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a
broomstick.
