  1. 1) i was motivated by the fact that my dog constantly smells and his hair is extremely shaggy.
    2) We took my dog to numerous groomers and he was never the way we wanted him so one day i put him in the bath and picked up a pair of scissors and started away.
    3) Nothing inspired me to do this besides the fact of being frustrated and not being able to be happy with the way my dog looked.

  2. 1- I work at a grocery store. I bag groceries, and sometimes stock/face shelves.
    2 - I got this opportunity because my sister had worked there for atleast 3 years.
    3 - I have become interested into this, because my sister has been working at this store for a long time, and she told me that they were highering, so I took the opportunity to get a good job.

  5. 1. I was motivated to work at the lavendar farm because I thought it would be interesting and fun because i would be working with a really amazing friend of mine and I dont get tired of her so it was amazing this summer.
    2. When we worked we Had to weed around the lavendar plants so they didnt take over the plant. Watering the plants took sometime but everything did But they needed lots of water becasue we didnt get much rain this summer. We also mowed the field And made some product such as lotion and soaps. We organized her store and made it look nice and cleaner.
    3. My boss made the job very interesting I learned a lot more about Lavendar and also the Working with my friend made it interesting and fun but as we worked. We took very good care of the lavendar plants and they are still alive.

  6. 1. I was interested in becoming a farm hand because I wanted to learn more about farming and how everything works and runs on the farm. I had a job opportunity so I decided to take it and hopefully help myself learn and maybe teach myself, or be taught.
    2.There were many times when we had to fix something that was broken or was going to soon be broken if not taken care of. We also had to do normal maintenance on things such as tractors, combines, engines and the grain bins. I also sometimes had to shred weeds or spray a little weeds.
    3.One day when I was just with my dad he was working on the tractor and I was with him just watching and I kept asking him all these questions because I wanted to know more about how it worked and came apart and went back together. My dad also has farmed pretty much all of his life so I have helped him a lot here and there so I have thought about it before.

  7. I was interested in becoming a veterinarian. I'm not yet sure if I want to be a big or small animal vet. I'm sort of leaning towards both.

    I really love animals, and enjoy being around them. It seems like a job that would make getting up and going in the morning, easy. Since it would be fun... but not all the time.

    Not really, probably just the fact, that I love spending time with animals.

  8. When I first started out working at the lavender farm I was just looking for something to do and some way to obtain currency by weeding around lavender plants. After a few short months, I learned so much more about growing a substance crop and gotten so much more out of this job then just weeding and just having something to do. Starting at 7, each day we did something different. Whether it be weeding, watering, or mowing the big field which can have up to 10,000 plants at a time, brainstorming new ideas for products, cleaning buds for the culinary lavender, or giving tours during the open houses each weekend. I learned that there are 400 different types of lavender so we have a field solely for experimentation to see which lavender will grow the best in our soil. My boss had to do a lot with getting me interested with the lavender farm, and everything that it took to be successful which was also a great life lesson for me. Also, it helped that I got to work with one of my friends.

  9. The only jobs that I had were helping a neighbor with her homework like a teacher and in my high school in Spain there was a program in 10 grade for the students and we had to look for a job and work there 4 days, without pay. This was to help us to see how is the job world. I found my "job" in a clothing store and I was working there the 4 days. My interest or motivation to do this was to earn my own money working as a teacher and in the clothing store I always wanted to work in a store like this so this was my motivation and my interest to do that.

  10. In Belgium during the summer I work with child in holiday center. I had some different formation to become a good animator. An animator need to be responsible and know a lot of thing for the safety and the amusement of the child. The ambiance between animator is very amazing. when the children are sleeping it is very fun because everybody shares the same focus.
    1) I went in holiday with this organisation "vacances vivantes" and it was a lot of fun. I like make the child's holiday perfect. I also wanted to meet a lot of funny people because you need to have a child part on you to be an animator. meet people like me is really good and make me less shy.
    3) my stepmother was an animator when she was young and she told me how much fun she had. I also watch my cousins a lot when I was younger and I like it.

    2. I took the opportunity to become a cross guard because I was offered the job by Connie Howe who was the manager at the Aurora Aquatic Facility.
    3. I was offered the job by Connie and she really got me started and wanting to be a cross guard.
