Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.‎ ‎ As I left his office, I felt sad.

Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear. ‎ Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate.
