The Assembly Line Worker

         In 1949,when I was 13, my family managedto escapeChina, and a year later, we made our way to New York City. My first years in America was spent on learning and trying to get by in school. But by my senior year, I was near the top of the class.

         Still, I was nervous as I looked for work that summer. I had never been interviewed for a job. But my father was out of work, and I had to help support the family. I looked through the want ads every morning  and was called to arrange appointment. Finally, I found a job on the assembly-line at the Swingline,Inc.Staplers  factory in Long Island City (in New York City). Placing little red top on tiny staplers was boring, but it was great to earn $40 a week.

          The most important job I ever held was my first job on an assembly-line. The minumum wage may not have been glamorous, but it gave me independence and enabled me to help the family.
