The Story of the Boy Who Cared Too Little
There is a point in everyone’s life
where something happens, where life changes and you began to see things differently.
School becomes work, partying is now
catching up on some extra rest to cope with your new hectic schedule. After
school activities are now working some over time to pay the bills, but not everyone
makes this transition easily as I did. By the age 18 I had already worked 5
jobs all ending in the same result “you are fired” or “you are permanently laid
off.”
Having
failure in life is not all bad. I believe in the saying its only a mistake if
you don’t fix it so I did it, but not without the great advice I was given by a
man I worked with, Eric Novosat. Now I show
up to work early, work harder and sometimes stay late to get the job done and
make my boss happy. It did not happen overnight. I gave up the partying and
staying up til the late hours of the night. finally realizing that with hard work
and dedication you can achieve anything whether it be receiving that raise you
have been wanting because people will notice or increase your standard of
living a great amount. Now I am much more happy and I feel more stable now that I
have a steady career.

Scene 1-Late Again
Ryan has been up all night at a club
downtown on this Thursday night and was unable to wake up on time for work and
shows up 3 hours late .
Characters: Ryan, Ron
[Ryan walks into the shop and sees Ron
sitting at his desk fixing the mistakes Ryan had made yesterday while he was
working]
Ron: What happened late again?
Ryan: I know this is inexcusable.
Ron: I was going to let you work today
and fix your mistakes but not after I see the carelessness you have towards
this job.
[Ryan standing there dumbfounded.]
Ron: I don’t like what I’m seeing. Therefore
I am going to give you five days suspension.
[End Scene.]
Scene 2- The Return
Characters: Ryan, Eric
[Ryan once again returns to work an
hour early after his suspension]
Eric: Hey Ryan how’s it going how was
your vacation
Ryan: [Ryan sighs] It was good I guess I did a lot
of thinking.
Eric: You know Ron was pretty fired up
that day I would hate to see you get fired
Ryan: Yes im sure he was all this made
me realize how good I have it here and how much I would like to stay here
Eric: Sounds like you need to get your priorities together and figure out what is more important; your job or this path of
destruction you are on.
Ryan: I know, I know it will not happen
again
Eric: I would hope not because now you
are under Ron's radar and if anything of that sort happens again he won’t think
twice about firing you.
Ryan: Right I guess the only way I can
prove to Ron is to show him by being punctual and paying more attention to
detail in my work
[End Scene.]
