My mother truly loves her job. She teaches music at Hathaway Brown school for 5th, 6th, and 7th, grade. She loves music ans therefore loves her job. Since music is constantly changing and new music is always coming out, her lesson plans are also changing. she spend many hourse every night working on her lesson plans, rewruiting music for her students and more. She uses a program called sylabalius that helps her create sheet music. She teaches guitar, singing, and recorder, she also has her kids use a large variety of other music. She has a very good work ethic yet still makes time for me and what i need. She always seems to make time for dinner, family time, and helping me with homework or rehearsing lines. Every year she has her students perform a musical that she picks out. In return i help her discover new shows and I am always searching for new music that her students might enjoy performing. She dedicates so much time to her job and loves doing it. Many times she is up untill 1 or 2 in the morning working on her school work. when she is working on school work at home staying up late and not getting enough sleep, it's not because she is unprepared and must do everything at the last minute. Most of the time she statys up late working just because she loves doing it and can't close the computer because it is so much fun. She constantly is showing my dad and i new songs, or rythms, or new instruments that she wants to use. My mother is dedicated to her job and she loves working!

My Aunt Theresa is in love with her job. She is a driven, fun, and outgoing 7th and 8th grade spanish teacher. She speaks fluent spanish and is an artist as well and used to teach high school art classes. I recently saw her class room and it is beautiful because of her artistic abilities. There are paintings and other spanish decorations everywhere. She ties in art with her spanish classes. They have culture fridays and will learn about the different Spanish speaking countries. They look at different art and artists from that country. She puts the two things she loves best together and just has so much fun with it! Whenever I see her she is always showing me new ideas she has to try out with her students. She is very creative, which makes her ideas very unique and the kids love how she teaches! She is so hard working and wants evrything perfect and organized. Along with taking care of three kids, being a girl scout leader, and being a spanish to english translator for one of her friends she still has GREAT enthusiasm and dedication for her job, and she wouldn't change it for the world.

If there is one person that I know who loves their job, it's my dad. My dad is an accountant for the Shaker Heights Country Club and manages the other accountants there too. He has always loved math and always excelled in it. Although he comes home sometimes stressed out, and sometimes completely tired, he always finds a way to spend a little time with my mom and his kids. He is an outstanding hardworker, and he is very good at manageing stress, which I find amazing. He has stuck with accounting for over 25 years and has always loved it. He truely makes the best of his job and loves every minute of it.

My Aunt Pat is one person I know who truly loves her job. She is a teacher for 4 year old kindergardeners. She loves kids, is a great mother and is a great teacher. You can tell she enjoys her job and really gets to know her students because she always has stories that she tells my mom. My aunt is so good with kids and she is creative and fun. Growing up with my cousins, she would always have us doing different crafts and activities, which she carries into her classroom as well. She is also strict but in a very gentle way which is perfect for a kindergarten teacher. She knows how to keep kids in line without being mean or loud, in fact I've never heard her yell before. She never complains about her day even when kids have been acting up in her classes. No matter what she always has something positive about her day. She loves being able to watch her kindergartners graduate each year and enjoys being involved in the community and the school. She does teaching more as a side job and I don't see her retiring anytime soon even though she has 2 daughters in college and one in high school. She doesn't work for the money but just truly enjoys what she does.

The one person I know loves their job is my mother. My mother is so open, loving and social, which why she is an amazing secretary at St. Helen School. She loves being with the children and working with them. She loves to see their smiling faces every morning and always talks to them, which is part of why she is an awesome mother to me and my brother. Also, she works with a lot of her friends which helps her blossom even more socially. My mother is so caring which is why the kids love when she is the nurse at certain times throughout the day. But one thing my mother is not is a pushover so she is strict with the children. My mother is a hard workers and keeps track of the money, children, mail and everything in the office. She loves what she does and does everything to the best of her ability.

One person who I know loves their job is Mr. Hummer. I had him as a teacher for two years and there was not a day that he did not have a smile on his face. He is someone who is deeply devoted to his job as a religion teacher and to religion itself. He is a very busy person who always finds a way to stop into the communion service or confession. I can also tell he loves his job because of the amount of care he shows for his students. No matter what is going on he always will stop me in the hall and ask me how I am doing and if I am feeling better about one thing or another. Mr. Hummer truely loves what he does and always does everything to the fullest.

Someone I know who loves and enjoys their work is my Grandma. My grandma works at the clothing store, Talbots. Recently, she just turned 70 and her age truly has not slowed her down a bit. She always has an eagerness to work and is motivated in achieving her best. She has the most driven attitude to be at work and be of the assistance to others. Never does she like to not be busy or have a break. I remember this past summer, she had knee replacement surgery and the first thing she said out of recovery was when can I go back to work! She has always been in the industry of selling clothes; therefore she has truly grown knowledgeable in the field and carries it into loving her job. She is enthusiastic when she talks to me about her days at work and loves the one on one connection with costumers. She is willing to work hard and focus on the attention of the costumers by listening and cooperating with them. When I hear stories how costumers have treated her badly, I know this requires her to be thick skinned and be positive. Her closest friends are the people she works with. They always throw parties together and have developed a close bond. Overall, she takes in the whole work experience by working, helping costumers, and being a friend to the people she works with. Besides her real job, she also holds the job of being a wife, mother of three kids, and a grandma of five grandchildren. These are the people that are her drive to keep going and be persistent in loving her job.

One person who I know that loves their job is my dad. He always comes home smiling and even if he does work late, he still comes home smiling. He loves his job and works very hard to help our family. Whenever he knows there is a type of sporting event that is happening during the week, he will always make sure he works alittle overtime the days before so he can come watch us because I know that is what he enjoys the most. Now he does get mad sometimes during sporting events if he thinks we are not playing hard enough, but he never yells at us or anything. When I say he will show up to any type of sporting event, I really mean that because he loves to go see my sister play in co-ed volleyball games where absolutely zero parents show up too, and co-ed flag football also. I know when I tell him he's weird for showing up to events like that, but it actually tells me how much he loves seeing us. He works very hard every day and I admire what he does.

One person who I know who trully loves their job is my step-brother Eric. He is an IT profesional for a small company that creates and designs publications for businesses. My step brother is the type of person who is always wiilling to help people. He loves what he does. He is the "computer geek" of the family as we call him. He lives his life in service because he always feels obligated to help anyone who is in need or who is struggling. I believe that Erc has a characteistic that most people do not have, and that is commitment to the community as well as his family. He knows what his priorities are and he knows how to handle them. In his life, Eric has accomplished alot of things. He is a son, a step brother, a husband, and most importantly he is a father. He knows those are the most valuable things in his life and he knows how to hndle them. I have neve met someone who is as happy to go to work every morning other than him. He looks forward to each day and he never lives with regrets.

One person I know who loves their job is one of my best friends' mom, Mrs.D. She works as a nurse manager of labor and delivery by managing the entire labor and delivery department. She has acted as my second mom since 3rd grade and is one of the most motherly, driven, cheerful, loving and kind person I know. She is also a great leader and person who is not afraid to take charge in any situation. Growing up, she was always the mother who drove us around to movies, dinner, games, and so much more. She is always up for fun, yet is always keeping a watch out for everyone especially her family and close friends. She is the kind of person who can be having a night out with family/friends to trying to help/save someone the next minute. I have heard her stories of her delivering many special deliveries and her having to step up and take charge of many situations in life. She has taught me the importance of working hard for what you love to do especially from hearing of her always spending late hours or days straight at her hospital with little or no sleep. Overall, her dedication to her job shows how she finds joy and is a person of service to others in her job. She treats her job as she treats her family and friends, which is hard to do in today's world and that is why she is successful at her job and a great person to always have in my life.

Someone I know of who truly loves their work is my mother. My mom is a physical therapist and has always enjoyed it, not only as her job, but as helping others and rehabilitating them back to health. She has inspired me to in the future, work in the medical field. My mom is someone who never complains about her job, she always says how she is lucky enough to have not only a good career, but one of which she loves. I have spent time at her hospital volunteering and I get to see her interact with patients and always try her best to heal whatever injury the person may be suffering from. My mom has showed me that it is important to do the things we love in life, and treat them as though they are a true gift to us.

When i think of a person who comes to work with a smile on their face and a spring in their step, it would be none other than Mr. Mark Hummer. This man has a passion for his job that i have not seen in any other person; he truly commits his life to teaching religion to his freshmen and sophomore classes. I believe his passion is deeply rooted in his love for Jesus Christ. No one can walk by Mr. Hummer without hearing a perky, "Jesus loves you!!!". This truly signifies the man's dedication to his religion, and he does his very best to spread his passion onto his students. Another quality that Mark possesses is a true optimism for life. Mr. Hummer hasnt had the easiest life, but that never stunted his love for what he did.Every single day of my two years with him, he taught my class with such vigor and excitement, that he actually brightened the attidues of all those around him. I envy his optimism, and i hope one day that i am in a job that i love as much as he loves his religion class.

When I think of one person who truly loves their job, my grandfather is the first to pop in my head. He is about seventy years old and has not slowed down at all. He is continuing the same routine every morning since he first started working as a lawyer. My grandfather gets up early, goes to work all day, and comes home ready to do it again the next day. I believe that his love to work and his all around intelligence are qualities that make him who he is. My grandfather could easily retire, but he chooses not to because of his constant desire to work and make a difference

A person that I believe loves his work is my grandmothers friend Paul. He just retired from a construction job but still works. When he came to visit us, he would not stop cleaning or fixing things in our house. Every day he would clean the house. We tried to stop him from doing this but he just resorted to doing it when we were out. One time, he did not know I was home and he was vacuming. I told him he did not need to do that and he said that he did not know I was there. He is extremely inteligent and is very inventive. He is a very work driven person that believes that he should use his inteligence to fix stuff. Him and I are very similar when it comes to the latter. We both love to work and apply our inteligence to it. We are problem solvers.

Someone I know who loves their job is my mother. She is a secretary for a psychiatrist and has had this job for 20+ years. She loves working with these doctors and shows the joy of it everyday. She really loves her job as well because she works out of a home office. This has allowed her to go to any games during my life time without her having to miss work. She can chose the hours she works as long as the work is done at the end of the week. This also allows her to go on vacations much easier if she gets the work done ahead of time. She also gets to go to fancy dinner meetings one a month to fantastic resaurants and listen to special guest doctors speak. She always come home happy talking about what the doctor said and most importantly about how good the food was that she ate. Her job has allowed her to enjoy work and her childrens lives and I know she loves having the job she does everyday.

Many may not consider bus driver as a noble profession. My father does not care. He loves what he does, because even though he will not openly admit it, I know he delights in being a caretaker. He also loves children, and I know he finds joy in being able to take the fear that both children and parents can have about driving with someone you do not know. Dad always shares stories of events that would seem trivial, like how he was five minutes off schedule because a child was late, but he never mentions how he broke protocol to wait five minutes so a child would not be late for school. There are people in the world whose jobs demand a lot of attention, but the lower impact jobs only receive notice if they are performed poorly. My dad never wants to be noticed, he just wants to get kids back and forth to school without harm, everyday. You would only know about the work he does if there was an accident. Because my dad cates about his work, he will never be noticed, and he does not care.

Someone who i know who loves there job defiantly my dad. He is a nuclear engineer supervisor at Perry Nuclear Power plant. He's been working there for 28 years and everyday he has something new to tell me. My dads job is very important because he oversees all the electrical work being done at the plant. He has always loved his job because of the atmosphere and work environment he gets to be in. Even though sometimes i think how dangerous it is, with his experience and training there's nothing dangerous about it. Because of my dad, the electrical part of the plant runs smoothly. My dads biggest reason for loving his job is that he started working there when the plant was first being built which meant he got to make some of the rules and start off as a supervisor because of his knowledge and commitment to the job. My dad has always been a "work hard" guy, but because of his role at Perry, he truly enjoys and loves his everyday job there.

In my opinion, someone I know who loves what they do is Mrs. Hurt. I have talked with Mrs. Hurt a lot in the past years and she never seems like she has had any problems with working at NDCL. Every time I walk into the office, Mrs. Hurt is always there and never with a sad attitude. Mrs. Hurt always laughs and smiles whenever I talk to her, and enjoys all the company she gets in her office. No matter what the situation is, whether it be needing a copy of these notes or borrowing money for lunch or call mom or dad because you forgot something, Mrs. Hurt will do it for you with a smile and do almost all of those requests at the same time while still holding conversations with each of those individuals. Mrs. Hurt has told me that she has had offers to work at other schools, but she wouldn't change her current job for anything. She loves the company at our school. Mrs. Hurt does not love her work for the pay she gets, because she could have easily gone to another school for more money, but she loves what she does because of the people who she's around during the day at school and the overall atmosphere that she is presented with at NDCL. She loves each of the kids at school like they were hers on top of her own 4 kids. Mrs. Hurt is one of the people I know who shows easily that she loves her job and what she does.

One person I know who truly loves her work is a friend of our family, Sister Julie. Sister Julie is a member of the order known as the Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity. I met her when I was in third grade and she worked as an aide to one of the first grade teachers at my school. She always loved working with the children, and I could tell they loved having her around too. She always did her work with a smile, even though I am sure working with young children was not always easy. She balanced this love of children and work at school with her love of God and work as a sister. She and her sisters often put on French toast breakfasts at their shrine, which my family and I always attended. She told us how hard she and her sisters worked cooking and cleaning and setting up for these events. Whenever we visited, Sister Julie was always thrilled to see us and made time to take a few minutes from her work to say hello. Now Sister Julie works as a teacher at St. Rocco’s School near her shrine. She is so much more than just a teacher, though. This school is in a poor neighborhood, and she works so hard to provide for her students. She is at that school from very early in the morning serving breakfast to the children to late into the evenings doing her work and providing care for children who are waiting to be picked up. On top of everything she does, Sister Julie always finds time to write to our family during the holidays and loves to hear how we are doing. Sister Julie tells us about her work at St. Rocco’s, and never once has she said a negative thing about it or complained in the slightest. I know she truly sees herself as living out the mission God has for her. I think she provides a great example of finding joy in service, both to God and others. Even if we are not called to a religious vocation like Sister Julie, everyone can find a way to keep God in their lives as they enjoy their work, and I hope I can do the same.

I am doing an internship with a veterinarian named Dr. Bonnie Dill, and she is truly in love with her job. She, like me, wanted to become a veterinarian since she was very young, and she accomplished her mission. The way she looks at each of the pets that enters the office, you can tell she does her best to reach out to each one of them. What is most impressive about Bonnie is that she puts the well being of the animal far before the well being of her pay check. There was a woman who came into the office about a month a go whose 15 year old cat had a rectal prolapse... not pretty. The woman was poor and has little except for this cat. Dr. Dill worked with her on price and treatment options until we could find something that was affordable for the owner and helpful to her cat. She is also a very religious woman. In fact, I met Dr. Dill through my parish. She always finds time for what is the most important in life. Last class we discussed putting the majority of our time in our family because that is what is most important. When we were having this conversation, i was thinking about Dr. Dill and how she is a perfect example of having good priorities. She and her husband never had children, but she keeps her nieces and nephews at her house the entire summer when movies, bike rides, and afternoons chasing the animals become the main priorities. I think the major reason Dr. Dill is able to give herself so completely to her work is because her work and her are the same thing. She was born to help animals and that is her calling. She has told be in the past that even if she never became a veterinarian she would still always have to be around animals and help them. Most people are not as generous with their time and resources, and for this reason Dr. Bonnie Dill is more than just in love with her work, she is a role model for all of us.

Someone I know who loves their job is my Aunt Barbara. She is a 5th grade teacher at a Catholic School on the west side. My aunt is a very kind, compassionate, generous person who loves her job because she enjoys helping her kids. Each day she goes to work, not for the money but to help prepare her kids for the next grade level and for the things they will face out in the world. Since she is at a catholic school, she helps her kids develop their values and morals and developing their faitha and relationship with God. She uses her kindness to help the kids when they don't understand something. She displays her compassion through her comforting words of encouragement to never give up when you get a problem wrong. No matter what may be going on in her life or if she had a bad day, she always has a smile on her face. She is always willing to help others, by spending extra time after school to take care of younger children whose parents have jobs and can't get there on time to pick up their children from school.

The one person that I know loves their job and gives their best day in and day out is you Mr. Murray. I have gotten to know and understand you over the past few years and if there is one thing that i have witness it is your compassion for whatever task is at hand currently. Wheither it may be baseball conditioning, baseball practice/tryouts, teaching, or being a father you sir give everything you can day in and day out. This demonstrates the heart and desire you have to be great. Most people as they get older are satisfied with their situation in life. Not saying that you arent, but you sir have a desire to do and become more. By you taking on grad school on the weekends and essentially giving up some of your free time from teaching really shows me that you have a desire to do and be better. Another reason I believe you The main reason to me you love you job however is the fact that you have the privilage to eduacte others. Everyday I am in class you show your want for us to learn and become educated which makes it alot easier for me as a student to feel invloved. Seeing my teacher want us to learn so badly makes me want to learn just as bad if not more. You have a drive to be th best you can be that not most show in the jobs. You have a sense of enjoyement when you teach that i havent seen in to many if not any other teacher that i have had in my life. I envy you for your enthusiasm in class, having to deal with the way that we act sometimes would drive me crazy if I was in your position you on the other hand just sit back and take it for what it is and allow us to have our fun but then teach. This patients you show is another sign of how much you enjoy your job. You are patient enough and enjoy your work enough not to let a simple conversation amongst class mates to ruin your daily schedule.

Someone I know who loves there work is my dad. He works at the Renaissance Hotel downtown and enjoys working there. Throughout his time there, my dad has met many people and has gotten many connections. By working at the hotel, my dad met a guy named Howard, now one of his good friends, who owns season loge tickets for the Cavs and Indians. From meeting him, my dad now gets loge tickets for games and third line base seats for the Indians. This Summer I got an internship with the Mid America Conference downtown. I got this internship because my dad knows the Commissioner who is at the hotel often. The qualities of my dad are fun, loving, caring, friendly and a people person. I definitely think that his personality and the way he interacts with people makes him a perfect fit for his job. Overall, my dad loves his job because its fun for him. Not many people get to shake the Presidents hand, meet there favorite athlete, or meet celebrities. At the hotel my dad has accomplished all of this. I can learn from my dad with the way he interacts with people because I interact with people where I work, so I look up to him in the work manner. My dad is the hardest worker I know and even though the job is not always easy, I know that he loves working and takes pride in it.

One person that I know that loves their job is my mom. She used to be a teacher, which she loved to do, but left to fulfill her favorite job and the one she loves most, being a mom. Although she still substitutes on occasions, she has no regrets for the "job" path she has taken. Her kind and caring personality and the joy she has while helping at school events for me and my siblings cannot be described. My Mom says her job is the most fulfilling thing she has ever done. The characteristics that make her perfect for the job of being a stay at home mom is that she is compassionate, caring, loving, devoted, excited, and eager to always help out at our schools no matter what it is for. I can't think of a better job for her. The way she gets along with kids goes hand in hand with helping us with homework or at school events where her personality shines. She has inspired our whole family to be a more caring and family focused family.

One person I know who loves their job is Mr. Bill Dieterle. Mr. Dieterle is Santa at Santa's Hide-a-Way Hollow in Middlefield. He is in charge of this organization, rightfully so, because he loves what he does. He gives terminally ill children their last Christmas at his village or where ever they are when their life is nearing its end. I have volunteered at his village, and as soon as I met him I could see how much the entire program means to him. This is his only job and it literally means the world to him. He is always looking for ways to make his village better for the children. By interacting with him, I was able to see a true example of a passionate and hard worker. Every ounce of time he has goes into that village and the children. He loves it so much and he could not stop telling me how he wants to be able to keep the organization running forever. He gets a great deal of joy from helping these children and ultimately their families and that is the kind of feeling everyone should be able to attain from their work.

The one person who I know is content and committed to her profession is my mother. As a Registered Nurse working in the Intensive Care Unit, my mother constantly has to transfer patients from the emergency room to the operating room, and then to the ICU. She has administer the instructed dosage of medication to patients, monitor their vitals, and assist in crashes (when a patient starts to die and a number of resuscitating techniques are performed). Through all the turmoil and activity faced in the hospital, my mother comes home from her night shifts tired, but proud of her work. My mother displays pride, serenity, and zeal through her work. Even after working all those tedious hours she can still tend to the needs of her family. She can work, be a mother, and be a wife all with the same standard of effectiveness and with a bright smile on her face. Constantly, I have tried to model myself after her. When ever I begin to lose interest in something that needs to be done or when I lose my patience or composure, I always tell myself that my mother doesn't act this way, neither should I.

One person who loved her job was my mother. She was a 4th grade school teacher for 30 years and retired about 6 years ago. She was a fun loving person and showed it through her work everyday she would make her class sing songs just to brighten everyone's day. She loved helping people she loved helping the kids with their problems day in and day out no matter how small or large. She still loves helping people and continues to help at our church. Most of all she loved her kids , not just my brothers and I she loved all of the kids she taught no matter how bad they were in class she still loved each one of them and treated them the same. She was also very passionate about her work it was the one thing she could do best, was to handle a class full of crazy elementary school kids. She was known by everyone in the school as the teacher you want to have because of her kindness and teaching ability. Lastly, she loved teaching but when it came down to family or work she would always choose family, no matter what. My mother handling working very well because her priorities were always right.

The person I know that loves their job is my mother. My mom is one of the most caring people in the world. She is a bartender two nights a week and is a full time mother. Up until a few years ago my mom did not have to work until my parents got divorced. My mom took care of me and always helped me with anything I needed. I am proud to say she is my mom. My mom enjoys helping me in anyway she can and always has a smile on her face. My mom is very outgoing which makes her a wonderful bartender but aside from bartending she is always home with my two year old sister. My mom is helping to teach my sister all that she needs to know. My mom is compassionate, loving, and full of energy in everything that she does. She is also very creative and always helped me with projects since I am not very artistic. My mom may not work a lot like other people's parents but she is doing the best she can to support our family and she is doing a wonderful job. I could never have the amount of patience that my mom has had with my sister, my brother and I. I know that my mother is content on focusing on being the best mother she can be.

Somebody I know that definitely loves their job is my cousin Denise. She's a pharmaceutical representative for a drug company helping recovering drug addicts. Denise is one of the most caring and thoughtful people i know. Denise is in her 40's and for awhile was unable to have kids until three years ago when she got pregnant, and at the same time her request to adopt a little girl from Guatemala went through. After two previous failed attempts to adopt and years of trying to start a family, she all of a sudden had two kids within 6 weeks of each other. Being with her through this experience has showed me the fortitude and faith she possesses. Furthermore, she had to learn how to be a mother of two before she was even a mother of one at the age of 40, not an easy task. However, she has always been patient with Grace and Luke (her children), and her thoughtfulness, especially towards my family and me, has never waned. No matter how crazy it gets Denise never forgets how blessed she is to have those kids, and does whatever she can to be the best mother to them. Finally, she is an amazing speaker and knows the right things to say to people. So, I couldn't imagine a better job for her than being a salesman. Then, adding on helping recovering drug addicts brings out the love for people and generosity she possesses. Denise loves her job because she loves to take care of people.

My mom loves her job. She's a marketing director at CT Consultants, which is a engineering firm that helps companies be more eco-friendly as well. She's a dedicated worker, which shows through her 10 year committment to the company. She's very hard working, which allows her to keep her position as marketing director. She's the only women at her work, but she embraces her role and performs better than the top guys there. She's very driven and helps people with their personal and work problems. She's described her role as sometimes the mediator between clients or coworkers, and I think this shows who she is at home as well. She's always trying to help others and get them up to speed. Her work also reflects who she is because she's been able to sell proposels to clients just based off of their friendly relationship. She's perfect for her job too because it's all about interaction with people and that's why she's so successful at what she does. Her job brings out a lot of her positive qualities, from loyalty to dedication.

My anut is one person that absolutely loves her work. She is a nurse and a musical director at her local church. My aunt is very kind, compassionate, charismatic, and generous. Whenever I see her, she has a smile on her face that can light up a room. A nurse is the perfect profession for my aunt because she loves to interact with people and make them feel comfortable and happy. Additionally, as a compassionate person, she is always concerned about people's health. Whenever I am feeling under-the-weather or I just need someone to talk to, she is one of the first people that I go to. She is easy to talk to and gives very helpful advice. My aunt loves her job so much because she knows that her job is a vocation of service. Each day that my aunt comes home from work, she knows that she has helped someone, whether it be by giving them pain medication or diagnosing and treating an illness, in some way. She helps people of all ages from newborn babies to the elderly. I feel as though my aunt finds much more pleasure in the fact that she is helping people than making money. As a dedicated Catholic, she understands that God taught us to always sacrifice our time to help others. My aunt takes pride in the fact that she does this every day she goes to work. Aside from working as a nurse, my aunt is also a musical director for her local church. She loves this job because she loves music and going to church. She also gets to interact with people in the choir. Overall, the job gives her a good feeling inside because it is a service directed towards God and the people. God would be proud that my aunt is keeping his home, the church, sacred and beautiful, while the people love the music that she directs. At this point in my aunt's life, she has never even considered retirement.

My aunt really loves her job as the accountant of Divine Word parish. She has worked there for over five years and has grown immensely in her faith since she started working there. She has started to attend church several times a week. Additionally, she now tries to grow and pursue her faith in many ways. She has made several trips to the Abbey of Gethsemani along with attended several women’s retreats at St. Mary’s in Chardon. She has always loved math and numbers and her job at Divine Word allows her to use her gifts and talents in service of the church. Recently, her husband got a job in Florida and they are going to move there. When she found out this news she was heartbroken because she did not want to leave her job at the church. Luckily, she found a way to keep her job at Divine Word by coming up for a week every month. This shows her great passion for her job. Lastly, her job at Divine Word has made her a great friend will all of the workers and priests and she regularly has them over for dinner at her house. The love that she has for her job at Divine Word is shown by her vocation of service.

If there is a person I know who truely enjoys their job and every aspect about it, it would have to be my Aunt Debbie. She is a hair dresser for Dino Palmeri and has been doing this chosen profession since she was a teenager. Although she attended college and earned a degree to potentially continue a higher paying professoin, she chose to do what she loves. Because she is the only hair dresser in the family, it has been almost like her cutting , dying, and styling eveyones hair is a factor that keeps our families close together. Everyone goes to my aunts house every Sunday to hang out. Some times shes doing hair but mostly its just to be together. She is loving and would do anything for anyone. She has been doing my hair, which would cost me so much money, since the second grade. She knows that I too also love cosmetology but I want to go to college. So to treat me, she takes me around the US to different hair shows just to see everything and for extra time for us to bond. This is one of the many topics of interest that keeps me and my aunt close through everything. And the best part is she never complains, she loves all of her clients and everyone she works with. She describes it as a big family. Even when she was offered the management position, she declined it because she was not in the job for the money and to be above anyone, she just wanted to do what she loved.

The one person in my life I know that truly loves what they do would have to be my dad. My dad is a very devoted and hardworking individual who takes great care in everything he does. Being the handy man that he is, my dad is always active in fixing and repairing cars. He not only fixes cars, but he also tows cars that have either been involved in an accident or have broken down. In any case, my dad loves what he does and is very good at it. He is constantly striving for excellence and accepts nothing but his very best. He puts his entire self into his work and is constanly on the go. Not only does he like his job, but he knows that he needs to work in order to support his family. He is a very patient person who tries to please everyone. He is constantly with stress and struggle, but somehow seems to overcome. For this and for everything else that he does, I am extremely grateful to have the father I do. He is a gret role model for me to look up to and base my own life after. My dad helps me to set goals for myself, and even to strive to achieve my dreams.

My mom is a secretary at a doctors office and truly loves her job. She always comes home with a smile on her face and stories to tell me about her day. Each and every co-worker of hers has a completely different personality yet they all get along great and are constantly joking throughout the day. I have asked her before why she doesn't work as a secretary at a school or college or something that offers money off for children of employees. Her response is always that she loves being involved with and working in the the healthcare field because she truly feels like she is helping people and making a difference. My mom is such a people person so this job is perfect for her. Whenever there is a psycho person checking in or on the phone everybody knows to let her take care of them because she is the only person who has the patience to deal with them. I look up to my mom because she chose something she likes to do over getting a large paycheck.

Someone I know that really loves their job and sees it as a vocation to service is my cousin. He is a teacher and we all knew he would do this from when he was younger. He loves to be with kids and is extremely patient. He has a way of explaining things so that every type of person can understand. He is also very devoted to Christ and I believe this inspires him to excel to the best of his ability in his teaching. He is a very compassionate and hard working person. He is not concerned as much about money as he is with pursuing a career that suits him and betters the lives for those around him. I really admire his desire to serve others with his whole life. He is a very good person to look to especially now as I'm trying to decide between career options. I know that there is a big emphasis on majoring in something you can make money, but he says you will not be happy unless you do what you love.

One person in my life who truly loves his job is my grandpa. He started a machine shop with a few of his friends in the 1960's, and is now retired. He sometimes wakes up in the morning and says he was dreaming about the shop floor and the people who work there. My dad and his brother work at the shop now, and so my grandpa is still in touch with the people who work there. He's a great person who loves his family and worked hard for everything he has. I admire him because even in his old age he stresses hard work and the values he lives out everyday. He was always dedicated to his work and his family, and treats everyone he knows with respect. He realized the importance of providing for his family and being there for them as well. He's one of my favorite people on this earth and he makes everyone around him a better person because of the example he always is.

If I were to grab one person aside and ask how their job deals with happiness, I would immediately choose my Martial Arts instructor Jason Zak. In all the stories he has told, about his own bringing up in the artform, the places traveled and people encountered, the man lives a life of health and glory. Through the difficult roads he has pushed on to pave a path for others. In creating his studio, I was amongst the youngest bunch of learners. The atmosphere included brightened attitudes and a warming sensation of success. The process took time, and eventually the man became stronger and able to expand the business beyond what was ever anticipated. Now running two separate organizations, Kuk Sul Do and a Mixed Martial Arts facility, the two run side by side in a thriving environment. The business holds his entire life, hard work, family, and passion. Through the assistance of others, Jason now experiences an operation built up to motivate any weak aspect of a person. The lessons I have learned from his entire passage into my life will stay with me as I grow in my own rank.

A person I know who loves their job is my mom. She is a homemaker and nothing would suit her more. After having her second child, she decided to quit her job and focus on taking care of her family. As she had four more kids, my mom has stayed busy for the past 22 years taking care of all of us. She is so caring and compassionate and has passed on those traits to me and all my siblings. She's friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to, other kids, especially little kids, are drawn to my mom and she treats them just as she treats me and my siblings. My mom is very optimistic and that definitley helps her with all of the stress she has keeping up with the family. She is a good role model to me and many others because she knows what is important in life, I believe that is a good quality in a mother because her values are passed down to her children. Some people may think that being a housewife is not really a job and it requires no skills, however, for my mom it is a full time commitment. She could've done anything after college, but instead she realized what she was called to do, which was to raise her kids and become an inspiration to others. I cannot say enough about how great my mom is, how much I appreciate her, and how much I respect what she does everyday. Being a mother is certainly an honorable line of work.

Jesse is so committed to everything he does and know that he will be a great husband to my sister because he's been a great boyfriend for the past 2 and half years. He is such a hard worker and deserves everything he gets. He is so brave and strong doing something so dangerous. He helps so many people and saves so many lives. He is just a great person all-around. I'm proud to call him my future brother-in-law.

When I think of a person who truly loves his or her job, I think of Mr. Murray. Through his powerful lessons and dedication to our learning, it is very evident that he strives to reach out to others. He does so in many new and creative ways which attracts our attention and keeps it. He has a natural way of leading through his words as well as his actions. It is also obvious that his family is what gives him the drive to be successful everyday. He keeps his priorities straight and always strives to do more. Mr. Murray seems like he lives to better the lives of others through teaching. This is extremely inspiring to watch every day. Even outside of school students go to Murfasa for advice about anything. He teaches with his whole heart and it is so obvious that he loves his job, yet it doesn't seem like a "job" to him. Mr. Murray loves what he does, and it rubs off on his students through what he teaches. After students take Mr. Murray's class, they feel more confident in who they are and in the lives they will lead after graduation. Everyone should get the chance to experience this passion for purpose.

A person who really loves the job is my Aunt Rhonda. She has been working night shifts for over 10 years and refuses to quit. She gets attached to the people she works with and helps them out. She is a nurse at a hospice. She never speaks bad about her job and she never looks upset to go. I really respect her work ethic and her drive. She is naturally a mother, so she fills in for my mom. She works 10 hours at assistant living, and 7 hours of personal assistance with special need clients on the weekends. She averages over 200 hours of service a month

If I had to name one person who really loved their job it was my brother Sam. He works as a lawn care guy and he loves it. He is always telling me about his day and new things he learned about lawn care and what not. Also it keeps him in fit. Lawn care is alot of physical work so he is able to stay in shape since he does alot of it all by himself. Plus its all year around since he lives in Florida. My brother is an inspiration because he made his own company doing something he loves to do as well as is successful at.

The one person I know who loves their job and sees it as a vocation of service is my father. He is very dedicated and caring which makes him an excellent Orthopedic Sergent. He is such a friendly guy and likes to listen to what you have to say. I know so many people who have had my dad perform surgery on themselves, or their family members that say such wonderful things about him. My dad is very blest to have such talents and he shows that even if he has a tough day at work. He is very devoted answering his pager, talking to patients, and even getting up at wee hours of the morning to help a hurt patient.My dad is also the team doctor for the NDCL boys football team showing his interest, while still performing his duties to help save lives. He is the type of guy that would never give up or say "no, thats enough". He is a real example to me, showing me how to express yourself as an individual through work. My dad chooses to be a leader not a follower and it has lead him to great things. I admire my dad and his thoughtfulness of all others before himself.

A dude I know that enjoys his job everyday no matter what is my olod boss Gary from the Village Pump Bar and Grill. Everyday he cam to work at 11am to open the restaurant for people who came in for early lunch and morning coffee. He would work behind the bar at times during the night, help out in the kitchen and made sure food was served fast for his customers, and even dishwashed if needed. He would stay throughout the whole day, through the lunch and dinner rushes and through the drunken nights until the bar closed around 2am. Every customer that comes in he treats like his best friend, no matter what, and many people return because of the hospitality that he provided. He loved to see people happy, his friends and family were always visiting him at the bar and having a great time. The most memorable thing about Gary that people remember is how he loves to give people of all age in his bar high fives. He started his business over 25 years ago with his wife Jackie, and they are still running it to this day enjoying everyday hard at work, but having fun. Reah.

He loves being out doors and interacting with people therefore i understand why he loves his job so much. He loves being in the the sun and getting all tan. He LOVES bossing people around too haha so being a manager lets him do that, even if it is joking. I envy his love for his job because he enjoys going to work every day. I hope i find something like that i can work at that i enjoy soo much just like he does.

The one person that I know loves their job is my mother. She is heavily involved in service to other people in our community. Her main job is that of a stay-at-home mom and she loves that job very much. Some of the qualities of my mother is that she is very patient with many people. Another quality of my mother is that she is very loving and kind. She is also very tolerate of other people and does not succumb to anger to quickly. Some of the things she does in the community are parish council and she is usually in charge of an activity for service day at our local parish.

One person that I know who really loves their job is my Aunt Nancy. She is a guidance counselor at Cardinal High School. She is a very smart, fun, loving, and caring person. She always has stories about the students she deals with everyday and she always tries to help them in anyway possible. She stays in her office until she gets all of her paper work done. She is very determined when it comes to helping a student who is having trouble at school or at home. She will also be a substitute teacher at the middle or high school. She loves being around children, whenever I need help with a really hard homework assignment I will go to her because I know that she will try and help me as much as possible. I think she is one of the smartest people I know. She will work as long as she physically able to. When she retires I know that she will find a side job to keep her busy. I look up to her in so many ways because she the type of person that will give it her all on anything that she does. She definitely gives more than 100% in her job. I would love to have that type of determination that my aunt has.

My mother has always loved her job as a nurse researcher. She is extremely hard working and strives to always do her best. She has a hard time saying "no" to people when they ask her for help, and while this usually over works her, she really enjoys helping others. She stays at work late and then works even while she is at home, but it really shows her strong commitment to her work. She is constantly trying to improve nursing research. She is extremely humble, too! She thinks people over look her, but in reality she seems to be loved by everyone at her work and really makes a difference in her job. Also, she has a few patients that she takes care of, and when she tells us about them you can tell that she greatly cares for them and really wants the best for them. People don't really understand how much my mom gives back to the community, and how much research helps to make a stronger hospital (and hospitals around the world too). She has always been hard working, strong, humble, and caring; and always strives to do her best.

The person I know who loves their job is my brother, Mikey. He's a sheriff for Cuyahoga County. As much as he says he hates getting up early in the morning for it, you can tell her really loves his job. He always has interesting stories to tell us and I think he learns from every day of going into work. He's always cared for others and has always been a protective big brother. So him being a police officer makes a lot of sense. It just seems fitting for his personality. He loves his job and gets an adrenaline rush from it. He loves chasing criminals and being in the courts. I think one of the most exciting things he's done on the job was working with Anthony Sowell. He would tell me stories everyday about the case and how little of a guy Sowell is. Overall, my brother is someone I look up to and I hope that I go into a job field that fits me as perfectly as law enforcement fits my brother.

He works as a janitor and he tells me he loves his job. He says he likes to give back to a place that has given him so much over the years, and he says he really enjoys the responsibilities that his job gives him. I feel his choice of going back to his old school to keep it clean in a way he is helping the kids and keeping the schools nice so they have a nice place to learn. He is a fun loving person and it shows with his unique job choice.

I've never met somebody so excited to talk about what he went through that day. It amazes me to hear of the stories about his patients and how happy he is to help them in any way he can. My uncle is an amazing hilarious and caring indivual. Its amazing to hear how much his patients trust him and look up to him. I hope that when i finally decide what I wish to be when i grow up, I can have the enthusiasm and love for my career the way i see my uncle in his.

Someone I know that truthfully loves their work is my Uncle Naji. My uncle has been an electrical engineer for about 18 years. I have never met anyone who is as passionate as he is about his job. His bright smile just talking about work shows you that he has a job that he really enjoys.Coming to America from Lebanon and having to pay for his own education throughout his life, gave him more of a reason to do something that interests him. His geneous, innovative ways, and creativity go perfectly with his ocupation. His almost perfect balance of family and work is something to be envied. Looking at him, I will be lucky to be half as happy as he is with is job, and in his life.

Jack McParland is one person who loves his job. He is one of my softball coaches at NDCL and always puts others before himself. He was in the hospital twice over the summer and never once did he say I won’t be able to coach or that he is unable to do something. He always goes beyond his limits and only wants the best for everyone and for them to succeed. Softball is the only thing on his mind and it is evident. He just has the passion for the game. As one carries on a conversation with him, any word dealing with softball will be spoken at least once. This man lives, breathes, and dreams softball. He obviously does not get paid a lot to coach but this doesn’t stop him, he has coached here for over 10 years and has helped kids tremendously who have gone through the program. Jack focuses on teamwork and wants to win. He always says he is going to retire after each season but there is that will and drive in him in which he continues to push on and never quit. He is an older man but still has a great sense of humor and also compassion for others. He never wants help and always want to do things on his own which is a great trait to have. You have to get to know him a little bit first to understand his personality but once you do, he is very genuine, nice, and sincere. There is no other thing Jack would rather do than take part in softball and see his girls succeed.

One person that i immediately thought of when seeing this question was my dance instructor Cheryl Hill. She is the owner of Fairport Dance Academy where i have attended for almost 12 years. Every time i see her she always is smiling. She instructs kids from ages 4-18 and knows just how to teach each age group. Whenever dance is brought up she always can talk for hours. She is a very personable woman who not only teaches dance, but also always wants the best for her students and lends her advice. When I get older i hope to love my job half as much as she does, because now-a-days finding someone who appreciates their occupation is a rarity.

My Mom is a perfect example of someone who loves her job. She is an entrepreneur who created her own business as a single mom in order to be there for me. She is dedicated, hardworking and focused. For example, she travels around the U.S. with my stepdad almost every weekend, just to sell her product and further her brand. Furthermore, she then puts in as many hours as she can at work, during the week, just to get a little more done than she did the day before. Not only is she dedicated to her own company but she is also willing to help out anyone else in need. Specifically she caters, sends out gift baskets for organizations and even finds the time to help me in creating and managing my company. She is also creative, and straight forward, always telling you just what's on her mind. She never misses a beat and always seems to have everything under control, and if she doesn't she finds a way to quickly fix it. All of these qualities explain why her business is so successful. To top it all off she brings these admirable characteristics back home, too. Ultimately, she is always happy with what she is doing and says she would never trade her job in for anything else. In my opinion that is someone who is truly happy with their job and is what I strive to find in a career.

She always finds creative ways to help them, and talks to them, not at them, only expecting to recieve the respect she gives them in return. Although she works in a public school, she still tries to relate to her Catholic morals in the way she treats her students. SHe wants to see them suceed, and will help them to reach their goals. My mom is dedicated to her students, and wants them to know that she is open to their ideas.

Amy loves teaching and using her creativity in all aspects of it. As a teacher Amy makes the learning experience fun, by giving it her own twist. She is a very dedicated teacher and wants nothing more than success in her students. She has a caring heart and is such a compassionate role model and leader. Amy is young and full of energy which makes the learning experience all the better for her students. Amy is a person I look up to because of her value and success. On top of being a good teacher she is a great mom that is transforming leaders for the future.

My cousin Casie is a great example of someone who truly loves their job. She is a third grade teacher in Atlanta, Georgia and she is completely devoted to her work. She not only puts all her effort and love to all her students but she is also known to have a great personality when it comes to teaching. She makes education fun and exciting for her students because they are in the third grade. Third grade is the time when kids need to realize that school and learning is not all bad. A good example that my cousin does is she plays games and talks to her students rather than just giving them instructions or lecturing them. A great quality that she has that makes her such a great teacher for the third grade is she absolutely adores kids and has great patience. To be a teacher, I feel patience is a definite quality that teachers need to have to be successful and well-liked by their students, just like my cousin is.

My co-worker, Beth is absolutely in love with her first job. Beth is a second grade teacher at St. Gabe's. Beth decided to teach second graders because she wanted to make a difference in shaping children's minds. She is caring and considerate and spends numerous hours going over tests and homework to see what her students did and did not understand. Beth does not lecture her students, instead she creatively comes up with activities to further the growth of her student's minds. Beth has all the qualities of a great teacher. She is patient, kind, caring, understanding and very creative. She likes to tell me that although she does get annoyed with her students, she wouldn't like to have any other job. She wants to inspire her students and tells them that whatever they want to do they can do it. I have never met someone as dedicated to their work like Beth is. Any younger student who has the privilege of learning from her will be remembering her for the rest of their school years.

My cousin Leah is the most intelligent person I know. She has her masters in some form of engineering and is working on her doctorate. Many companies have asked her to work for them and she would have been set for life, but she chose to stay and teach instead. She loves working at the college and researching things that would probably be hard to contemplate, she also loves teaching students in her spare time. The rest of the family is a little disappointed that she turned down the job offers but I'm impressed at her dedication to her job. She chose to have a very modest salary and to continue teaching and researching over a very high salary doing something else, she clearly loves what she's doing

Someone i know who truly loves their job is my aunt's fiancee Todd. He is a Police Officer in University Heights. He loves his job because he never does the exact same thing everyday. Each day he does something new and that's what makes him enjoy his job so much. He is a very devoted and alert man because he works the night shifts. Working the night shift is hard because he has to sleep in the middle of the day. He said that after a while he got used to it and now it just comes natural to him. He enjoys all the advantages of being a cop as well. He loves his job because he gets to boss people around occasionally, along with the ability to speed and not get a ticket. He respects his family values by sacrificing his sleep to eat dinner with them. He has a lot of work ethic and drive to wake up and head to work in the middle of the night. He is very responsible due to the fact that he is one of about eight who work the night shift. He talks about his job with so much pride that he makes my whole family want to join the police force.

In my opinion, i think that my dad loves his job. He has dedicated 30+ years to working as an engineer at Little Sisters of the Poor with my mom. My dad has the patience of a saint and he has never once complained about the work that he has to do. He gets his work done on time and efficiently without a peep and enjoys knowing how to fix certain things. My dad is very dedicated and always has been a very content man. He's very respectful and goes to work full time for his family. He'll sacrafice anything for us girls at home and thats why my mom, sister and i love him so much.

A person that I know who really loves their job is Mr. Hummer. He is a religion teacher for freshman and sophomores. Whenever I see him in hallways, he is always saying hi to students and always has a big smile on his face. Mr. Hummer has a pretty rough homelife from what he's told us in class, but he doesn't let that get him down. He is always smiling and giving his time to others. Its very obvious that he truly loves teaching and I hope that I will one day have a job that I will love as much as he loves his job.

I know many people who like their jobs, but the one that stands out the most to me is my neighbor. she works as a daycare provider and does not do it for the money, but rather because she loves to be around kids. she has incorporated her interests and hobbies into her work to become good at what she does and puts others before herself in her work.

A person I know who truly loves what they do my brother. He isn't out of college and isn't permanently employed,, but he is the publicity manager for 'dave rave', a rave that travels around Ohio for different events. It is basically a dance party. My brother Vince does all of the publicity and advertisments. He loves to create designs, such as the t shirts for Dave Rave. He gets, so excited about it that he will call me just to show me the new design. He loves what he does and I can tell by the way he works. Vince is a very hard worker, his grades in college are significantly greater than in high school, which I think I think is because he's interested in what he does. He's passionate about it, and loves sharing it with everyone. He won't ever complain about the work he has to do for it because he would rather do his Dave Rave work than go out..sometimes. Its so clear that he loves what be does by the way he just talks about it. He is so confident and excited about what he does, I don't think any other job could fit him better.

Someone I know who loves their job very much is my grandfather, John Truman. all his life he spent in the garage helping his father with his cars. all of this experience lead my gradpa to working in a shop all four years of high school. he then went to a specialized school to learn about the specific cars. he chose to mainly work on Porsches. now, he has his own buisness, John Truman Enterprizes. he is 76 years old and he has had this buisness for about 20 years. he loves taking apart the cars and fixing them. but most of all he loves going to the race track to test them. he always tells me how he loved to race in his "younger days" but now he works in the pit, keeping track of all the mechanical work on the car from a computer. he has many clients but to him, his clients aren't so much as clients but friends. i will always admire how my grandpa runs his shop. he treats every person with the greatest respect. he never returns a car with anything unfinished. he always puts his best work out onto the track and he always comes back with the ability to put another foot forward to work on the next car. he never complains about his job and he truly loves his buisness.

I could definately say that one person I know who truly loves her job and the work she does is my Aunt Anne. I recently met her over the summer when she visited America. She lives in Germany where she runs a bakery that my family began many years ago. One of the first conversations I had with her was all about her work and how much she loves waking up in the morning to bake. My aunt is extremely hardworking and glad to keep the work of my ancestors going. She grew up in the bakery and it's existence has kept her going. She told me that it was a perfect work environment because it allows her to put together everything she loves: her family, small town, and her love of baking. She said that it was a joy for her to go to work everyday and being able to add something to her community and fulfill her grandfather's dreams of keeping the small, family-run bakery alive in the 'modern world.'

My mother without a doubt truly loves her job. Teaching first grade includes her educating the students reading, writing, math, phonics, science, health, social studies, and religion. Every morning she wakes up, prepares lunches and wakes up the whole house for the day. She puts a smile on her face as she says goodbye to my dad and me. Always prepared she gathers her school work and teaches her students to the best of her ability. She is a great role model of a mother, teacher, and friend. She never says anything unkind to anybody and doesn't need to worry about others being unkind to her. This makes for a healthy and fun work environment according to her. I've sat in on her teaching a few times and I honestly think she is the best at what she does. There is no way you can understand how talented she truly is until you see it for yourself. And that kind of talent isn't learned, it was a gift from God that she uses to benefit others.

One person I know who definately loves his job is my Uncle Sarge. My uncle has been a cop for over 50 years. My uncle is the Captain at the Cleveland Heights police station and just happens to be the oldest cop in Ohio! Because he loves his job so much he has dedicated his life to it. As a teen he grew up watching the policemen in Cleveland Heights and was so inspired by their dedication to justice that he decided thats what he wanted to do too. My uncle served in the Vietnam War and WWII and there he served our nation. Today and for the past 50 years+ he has served us everyday to keep the community safe. For example, he was a major person involved in the crack down on drug traffiking in the Cleveland Heights area. Not only is he protecting the innocent, but every day he risks his life for the lives of others. My uncle has all the characteristics of a hero he has courage, bravery, strength, dedication and love for his job. Everyday he wakes up loving what he does and I hope one day I too will be able to wake up and love what I do too.

one person that i know who really loves/loved his job was my grandfather. my papa absolutely loveddd his job! he got to do both sit behind a desk and interact with his customers all day long. He got to leave whenever he pleased as well as take off work whenever he wanted. He used to own two ford dealerships. He was so happy being the owner of two successful dealerships. Once he got old though it was hard for him to handle them and take care of them so he had to sell them. My papa was such a good-hearted, friendly , smart, well respected man to the Ford dealership, he still is but those are the kind of qualities someone needs in order to run a business and be successful and he did just that. i respect him so much !

One person who i know loves their job is my mom. She is a home health aid for elderly people. My mom has always been a person to help and serve people. She tells me everyday stories that happened with how she helped someone, or even brightened up there day a little. Some elderly peole have a hard time looking at the positive side of life, and i believe my mom really does make a difference in there life. Not only helping them with everyday things, but making them feel like everyday is worth living, no matter how old you are. Not only does she help then, but everyday she learns something from stories or past experiances her clients have. I honestly think this is what her vocation of service was meant to be.

I recently asked my computer teacher Mrs. Eby if she really loved her job and without a doubt, her answer was yes. Mrs eby is one of those teachers who i feel personal with. I know i can joke around with her yet i still have respect for her as well. I mean she is still my teacher. Mrs. Eby teaches as our school even though she knows she can get paid more in a public school. But teaching in a catholic school is what gives her job meaning. Some characteristics of Victoria would have to be that she is caring, just as a mother figure because that is who she is at home, knowledgeable because of her skills in the technology department and design element. She is always happy and excited to start class despite how much trouble her last class gave her. I look up to Mrs Eby and her respect and care for others and i hope i have a job i love as much as she does in my future.

One person that loves their job is, kobe bryant. I would say kobe loves his job because he goes all out every game. He tries his hardest every game to make sure that his team gets the W. He goes into every game knowing what he has to do to get the job done and that is why he has won 5 nba championships and 1 mvp award. He won two nba championships this and last season and I don't see a team beating kobe bryant and the los angelos lakers.

My Aunt Ellen is a guidance counselor for a public high school in Pennsylvania and she truly loves her work and finds it a joy to live her job as a vocation of service. In school she is a dedicated and determined counselor to her students and outside of school she continues to spread her guidance and knowledge through every aspect of her life. I have never met a woman who is as considerate and as giving as my aunt. She would never try down a request for service and constantly feeds me great advice for my everyday life. I aspire to be like my aunt who lives her life on the foundation of a deep connection with her Christian faith and the ability to give of herself to all those in need. She is truly a guidance counselor to life in general. My Aunt Ellen loves her job and lives it daily throughout the guidance she sends to those who need it most.

A person in my life who has found joy through work is my grandpa. Throughout his whole life, my grandpa has worked hard in every aspect of his life. He is a dedicated, motivated, and persistent worker. My grandpa for most of his life was a carpenter. Everyday, he would work hard to provide a comfortable life for his wife and children. He saw the value of work, and what it meant for not only himself but for those he took care of. My grandpa also loved his work. He would design, and fabricate beautiful works of art from wood. My grandpa had a passion for carpentry and this passion continued to burn in his life even after his retirement. My grandpa is 88 years old and he still does carpentry. He makes various pieces for customers like church alters. He still does this because he enjoys working as a carpenter. My grandpa is not only a carpenter. He is also a plumber, mechanic, and an electrician. I have not seen anything that my grandpa can not fix. He never gives up and works until the job is done. When I was young, He would come over during the day and fix our broken cars, or appliances. He did all of these tasks with joy, because he loves his work. However, my grandpa also knew how to balance his work with his family. He never was too busy to stop and play, or tell a story. He knew work was important but not more important than his family.

My mom really enjoys what she does. She is a nurse for the Lake Health System. My mom is loving, funny, and very spiritual. All these things help her to do the work that she loves so much. My mom loves everyone and cares much about them. She has a sixth sense and knows when someone is upset or sick and needs to be cared for. I don't even have to finish getting out of bed in the morning when I'm feeling sick for her to know it. Sometimes she can tell even before I can that I am going to be sick. She is always worrying about others. At night, any noise will wake her and she immediately checks on everyone in the house. My mom is funny and keeps everyone laughing. This helps her to care for her patients because, after all, laughter is the best medicine. Finally, my mother is very close to God. She knows that through him and prayer, any ailment can be alleviated or any suffering abbreviated. She goes to mass at least once a week but usually two or three times. My mom usually has us offer up intentions before the rosary or before we eat followed with a special prayer that she finds suitable. She stresses to her children the importance of prayer and the blessing of God's saving grace.

I think that out of all the people that i personally know, Mr. Adam Borris Pysell loves his job more than anyone. He talks about how much he likes it all the time. He likes working with kids because they'll grow up to be better muscians and it will partially thanks to his guidance. He has a passion for music and he gets to be surrounded by it daily. He was in marching band when he was a student and he is now the director of his own High School's band. In the past 2 years he has completely changed the music program at NDCL for the better. He gets compliments all the time from faculty that attend the concerts like Mr Waler. Last year, marching band was even asked to play at Mass after their preformance. All his hardwork pays off because he loves his job. He doesn't think of it as hard work, he thinks of it as fun. He spends everyday doing what he loves. He always seems happy whenever you see him. I've only seen him mad or upset a few times for minor things but he quickly gets over it. He has the ability to cheer everyone around him up and he seems like he doesn't have a problem in the world. Borris is truly a inspiration to all NDCL preforming arts students and he should be to everyone at our school because he is answering God's call to do what he has with the gifts and talents God has given him.

My Father doesn't exactly enjoy his work, he more or less enjoys the result of his work. He deals with customers every day, installs their carpet, and deals with different stores. It's a very difficult and taxing job, but at the end of the day, each and every day, he walks out with a smile on his face knowing that his work provides shelter, and warmth to his family. I think that's why everyone works....To provide for family and to fulfil their lives. My dad shows great perserverence and dedication in his job, because sometimes customers aren't as courteous as they should be, and sometimes they are extremely rude. However, my dad has values like wisdom and fortitude, so he doesn't lash out, at the customers or myself. He's a workaholic, but not to the point where it cuts into his family time.He definatly has his priorities in order, and can handle many different things at once without going crazy like I most likely would.

One person I know who really loves their job is my dad. My dad is a lawyer, he has been for almost thirty years. He is hardworking, and strives to be as helpful as possible. My dad does work that, to me, is boring, but I know to his clients is invaluable. He helps people keep their home and businesses, helps people plan and prepare for bad situations like a death in a family or a divorce, and tries to make the situation easier. I don't really understand everything he does, so I can't say exactly what it is but I know it makes peoples lives easier, and I know this is why my dad loves his job. He is the kind of person who will really go out of his way to help someone that he doesn't even know that well. Through his work, he is able to make this happen for lots of people.

My Mom really loves her job and respects it with all matters. She works for the system of Probate Court. She used to have a job that was similer to this one but in a different area. She Was working for years in Domestic Relations, and had to quit to due to the birth of my sister. She was a stay at home mom for years. Until she wanted to get another job again. She tried everywhere but only found a job at Khol's. It was hard becuase we were very low with money. She then recieved a job at the court. She loves it so much and it means so much to her that she can help support her family once again. She has taken on many roles that came very quick and unexpected for her. She tries her best and succeeds in all that she does. She makes wills and estates for people who have died and things in that area for money issues. She is the hardest person working that I know and I'm so proud of her in all that she does.

She is very hardworking and dedicated to her job. She is very loving and willing to do anything she can to help out others. She has seen many bad cases with the children and babies that are born there and even though that can be very upsetting she is still there ready to work and help many more children and infants.

He is very smart and always views problems and possible solutions from an engineer standpoint. He's also very altruistic and easy to get along with once you get to know him. He's one of the most caring and passionate individuals I know when it comes to his job. His work ethic blows me away.

One person who I know that loves their job is my father Chuck Frate. My dad owns his own landscaping company with my grandpa. It is called Frate Landscaping. He wakes up every day at six and goes in the back and does bills before the guys come in around eight. Being a landscaper is very hard work, and I am just amazed on how my dad has ran the business with my grandpa since my dad was 18. 28 years dedicated to one thing is incredibly hard to do, but I know that my dad truly loves what he does for a living and it is what God has called him to do. Whenever we go places outside, he always points out the beauties of nature and the surrounding that surround us that I bet 99% of people overlook so easily. I also knows he does his job for love, not money. He does so much charitable work including this past year when he put a ton of trees around the campus of NDCL for no cost whatsoever, He is just such a kind-hearted person and I love him for showing me that you can love your job if you know its what God has called you to do.

It seems like he is always looking to be kind and helpful to anyone he meets. When I'm around him, I feel extremely comfortable and he strives to spread the word of God. Father Fred shows characteristics of honesty, love, charity, faith and happiness. I look up to him for being so strong in his faith and handling all of the tasks that are asked of him.

My dad is a very hard worker, and he loves his job. He is an IT group manager for Progressive Insurance, and his team's job is to produce ideas, and to work together with others. He has to take classes to learn about the personality types of others, and he has to take classes about goal setting, and passion. My dad loves his job because it keeps him interested. He loves to learn more, and he loves to try and try and try to reach his full potential. Work ethic is his number one philosophy, and because of that, his philosophy trickles down to me and my sister.

My dad I believe loves his job dearly. Why shouldn't he? He is the General Manager of a Golf Course and works as the absentee owner because of the death of the majority owner. He has a lot on his plate everyday believe it or not, winter or summer. The thing is he truly loves golf and he admires the game dearly. He also likes to see people having a good time. The things he brings to job are completely out of his creativity . My dad loves his job mainly because it keeps him busy and when your busy it ultimately keeps your body and mind going. He has to wake up very early and close sometimes very late but at the end he knows that he is earning a living doing something he loves.

Someone I know that loves their work would be my manager Matt Hollingsworth. He owns many restaurants and co-owns the new Danny Boy's in Chesterland. From what I see on the days I work, he enjoys himself. It's fast paced, always changing, and it involves people. He strives for the best relationship he can possibly have with his customers, always making sure they leave having a wonderful visit. If something wasn't satisfactory, he'll make sure it's fixed for when a customer comes back or he gives them a gift certificate and ensures them that when/if they decide to come back they'll be more satisfied. He works hard and at the end of the day he knows he's establishing something special within people, because after all it is food that brings us all together.

Someone I know that is in love with his or her job is someone that I met over the summer at the National Youth Leadershp Forum on Medincine. His name was Justin Peterson and he was my group teacher/leader. At the time he was a med student who was just finishing up his schooling but also took the job of helping teenagers figure out if the medical field is for them. You could see clearly that he loved his job because he was always having a good time with the teens. He was always willing to take time to answer questions even outside the 'classroom'. You could just see the enthusiam he had for the medical field and for wanting to help others. I hope that once I get my job I can be as dedicated as he is.

When I think of someone that truly loves their job and has a passion for their work, I think of my father. For each one of his client's he gives his complete dedication and loyalty. He does absolutely everything he can for a case, and he does not do it for money because he does not charge hourly. He takes a personal interest in each case and makes a strong connection with each client. A lot of times when the client is unable to pay, my dad will accept favors, such as fixing a car or running wires through the house. He puts in hours towards his work even when he is not at the office. He has all of his calls forwarded to his cell phone so that any of his clients can get in touch with him at any time during the day. He does his best for each of his clients and never tries to screw anyone over. He loves his job for two main reasons: it gives him the ability to help people and the people themselves. He loves what he does, and I believe I get a lot of my conviction and dedication from my father.

My mom, though it is a more recent discovery, loves her job. she takes care of elderly people who dont want to go into a nursing home. My mom has always loved taking care of people and when my grandma got sick a couple years ago my mom quit her job and took care of her. well after my grandma died my mom discovered that she really did have a love for taking care of the elderly. she loves the history and she loves all the stories they tell and at the end of the day she has a sence of accomplishment. my moms love of taking care of people and her nack for listening in the hardest of times makes her great at what she does.

Dr. Richard Wysinski is a man who truly loves his occupation. One reason being is he doesnt even consider it an occupatuion, so maybe I should have said he is a man who truly does what he loves and he just happens to get paid for that. He is my friends father who is a very succesful eye doctor in the Clevelend Area. To quote him, "When I do what I do, I'm not going to worry about anyone else and I will do the best damn job I can." Not only does he give the best damn effort he can, he loves doing the best he can, he loves to help people. His effort and love go hand in hand. Because he loves his job he does his best and because he does his best he learns to love it more and more every day. Learining is his passion, preferably through reading, therefor he broadens his wide spectrum of knowledge daily through Doctorate readings. He was raised poor and formed his own life the way he so desired and this is what I considere true work, taking life by the horns and directing it to where you want to be.

The person whom I know that enjoys his occupation the most is my uncle's friend Joe Carciopolo. He is an airplane pilot, and builds his own planes out of pieces and parts of other older planes. His own quite a few acres of land in which he created his own runway. He flies a yellow biplane that he built himself. He has several garages ( all of which are bigger than my house alone) for his planes. He finds such enjoyment out of building his planes, testing them out, and taking people for a ride over the lake just for fun. Although he was diagnosed wih cancer a few years back, he doesnt let anything get in his way of him and his planes.

One person I know who really enjoys their job is my Grandma. She has been a realtor. She has been doing that job since she was 40 years old. She is also a broker. My grandma is 74 and still going strong. She is so full of life, and every minute you are with her is so much fun, and definitely funny. My grandma is the biggest people person I know (thats probably where I got it from, haha!) I feel like everyone knows her from one way or another. Her caring, friendly, outgoing personality always helps her to exceed expectations. She is so sarcastic, and that makes her funny. She has connections everywhere for anyone. One time I over drew my bank account $180 and she said she would call the bank for me. A few days later, I was debt free! Thank God for my grams. She is truely the best, and I look up to her every day because she is so successful, especially losing her husband when my dad was only 12 years old. Shes been a single mom ever since. She just loves her job because it allows her to work with people, and I know she loves to do that. She is the only other person I know who talks on the phone more than me. I love her to death and I hope to be like her one day.

When I first read this journal, I instantly thought of Coach Bolek. Coach Bolek has been around the game of baseball for longer than I can imagine. He is very passionate about what he does and I think he will continue to coach as long as he can. Since he has been coaching and playing for so long, he has become very good at what he does which I think is because of his unrelenting passion for the game. A lot of coaches would do their job at the school and go on working on something else or going home but not him. Everyday I pass the school I see him down by the field whether he is cleaning up the mound or giving lessons. He is a little intimidating at first but once you get to know him you realize that he is a great guy and he is very good with kids of all ages. The passion he shows for the game and teaching people to play is something to look up too. I think he sets a great example that you can pick a job, truly care about what you are doing, work hard, and be happy with it the rest of your life.

My grandmother Christine, or Boja as her name is translated in Croatian, Vidmar is one example of a person who loves to work. My grandma Boja worked since with the Croatian community in North East Ohio since the early 80's. She would constantly go to meetings at the Croatian lodge and was a board member there. For a little bit of time she was president of the board. She would love to invite people from Croatia over and bring them over to our house and treat them like they were family. Boja would also set up dinners and parties so they would feel more welcome. When she wasn't doing that she was translating for children and their parents at school who could not speak English. Even after she resigned her spot on the board of directors she still translated for those who could not speak English because she knew how difficult the language barrier was when she was an immigrant. I think she is a great example of someone who likes to work because she does something she likes and helps people. Its a win win.

My mother is someone who loves her work. She loves getting up everyday and helping others, no matter who it is. She has many qualities that define her as a person who lives her job as a vocation of service. She is most of all, a caring person. Always willing to help, she finds it next to impossible to say no to a person who asks for help. I know that I could never be this open to service and caring as she is. She always lends a helping hand to coworkers and friends who trust her and ask for her help. They know that she is dependable and versatile. I know that at her job at the Department of Justice she gets the toughest assignments because her superiors realize that she works to her full potential and makes her job a high priority. Along with being caring, my mother has all of the traits that qualify a good worker. She is loyal, hardworking, dependable, responsible, motivated, and ambitious. She likes her job because she works independently. Most of the time she does her job without having superiors looking over her shoulder, telling her what to do. This freedom allows her to thrive in her career field and get work done. My mother also brings her qualities to things outside of work. She is active in my Boy Scout Troop and at one time wrote weekly newsletters for the families. She currently holds an adviser role and is a committee member.

One person I know that loves doing their job is Johnnie Lemons father. He is a teacher and a coach. He loves teaching younger people and giving them guidance. He enjoys coaching because of his love and passion for the game of football. Groups of kids easily open up to him because he instantly puts forth the role as the dad of the group. Ive seen many kids open up to him about any subject because their so comfortable talking to him about it. He has been in most of these situations so he is a reliable and accountable source for help. I believe he realized this made him happy early in life. One thing he dislikes is when children get down on themselves and believe that they cant do something. No matter how hard the feat is he will always encourage you to hold your head up and keep working to achieve your goal.

My dad truly loves his job in the military. when he was in highschool he was lost and got into the wrong crowd, but as college came along and the option of the military was presented to him, he made the choice to join. he always talks about how it helped him grow into a better person. for the army, my dad had to go through rigorous training and multiple boot camps and drills. he said that this taught him respect and to never give up. he says he is very thankful for his time spent in those camps even though they were very rough. as his rank in the army rose, he got alot more opportunities to travel around the world. he's been to germany, haiti, kosovo, iraq, iran, afghanistan, and all across the united states. even though he goes to dangerous places, he loves it because he gets to help people and be where the conflict is. he has had many jobs in the military like working at the pentagon and he even knows some secrets that hes not allowed to tell my family! he loves serving in the army and he wants to do it for as long as he can.

My granfather loves his job. He works on construction, fixing houses and building decks. He is retired, but still does this wok because he believes that hard work is the key to old age. He is probably the least selfish person i have ever known. He would work for someone for free if they needed his help. He believes that God has given him the gift of contruction to help others. He also goes to a bible group and teaches about the Word Of God. Though these two jobs aren't neccessarily a career, they are something dear to his hart. Throughout his entire life he has done selfless work for others, putting his family first, and then looking to see what could be done in the work category. With this, his working ethics are what i look up to.

My grandpa truly loves his job. He started a business with my grandma that sells doors, locks, and hardware. It is now a successful family business. I have never met someone who works as hard as my grandpa does, and I admire him. He is now 78 years old, has had two knee replacements, and still goes into work at least three times a week. Not only is he diligent, but he values family. Six of the employees are my relatives, and my cousins and I often meet at the business during winter and summer break. My grandpa has told me that he loves his job because he can work with his kids and be a good role model for others. He believes that starting the business was definitely what God wanted him to do.

A friend of mine truly loves his job. I first met my friend at the Zoo through a program call Zoo Crew, where you volunteer to play games around the Zoo. him and I have done this for 4 and 5 years and we both love it. After he was too old to continue the volunteer he got a paying job with the show-staff. Ever since he has worked very hard to get to where his is, but unfortunately there are a few bumps in the road which have recently caused him so to stop for the time being, which is sad because he hadn't done anything wrong and consequently he was let go. From the misery that followed, I can truly say he loved his job.

My dad really loves his job. Of course, there are times when he will come home tired, stressed, or just unhappy. Yet, he goes to work everyday ready to tackle his challenges head on, and 99 times out of 100, he'll come home happy. My dad works with the environment as well as the safety of employees in his company. He has a huge responsibility and he couldn't have any better job. He loves to solve problems, and in a way that the resolution will work for everyone. In addition, he is able to listen very well, so when he makes his decisions, his seen as many sides as possible of what his decisions are involved with. He also works with a great tenacity and is not satisfied until the job gets done. He is the same way at home when it comes to work around the house. His mantra is "work before play," and because of that, he is able to get his work done while still having time for everything else aafterwards. I admire his work ethics greatly and his character when it comes not just to his job, but to anything he works on as well.

Someone that I know whom truly loves what he does is probably my brother. He is the hardest working 20 year old I know. He runs a dance called ‘Dave Rave’. Instead of enjoying it, he does all of the promotions, advertising, video, and photography for it. He broadcasts it out to OU and tries to get as many people as he can to go. He loves to be involved. The reason I know he loves doing this is by the little things he does. In the middle of the day, he’ll text me and tells me to look at his new Dave Rave flyer on Facebook and to let him know what I think. He loves to work with people, and he loves designing. Before he went to college, he would design little things like T-shirts for his favorite band, posters, anything he could use his new ‘Mac’ computer for. He loves it, he calls it his “baby”. When I see my brother, he always, always, has his computer around because he loves to use Photoshop, or in design. He is so passionate about his job, major, and interests in visual communications, I am able to tell that he just loves it.

There is not another person I know that loves his job more than my father. He never comes home unhappy regardless of how his day went or if they did not receive the job he was working on for the many months before. He is the type of person that you can rely and trust to get everything done. There words "I can't" have never applied to him and his work. That may seem corny, but that is how he is. What makes him so great at what he does is the fact that he actually enjoys doing his job. I know of people who do what puts the food on the table and does not unconditionally love their job. That is not the case for my father. He has never complained about having to go to work. I look to follow in his footsteps and choose an occupation that I would enjoy and not where the money is.
