The significance of work

When it comes to the term work, I have several different reactions that have changed throughout my life. Back in elementary school I wasn't really good at doing school work nor homework. It's not that I didn't want to do it, it's just that I had a really hard time concentrating on what I was doing, I'm guessing because work didn't really mean much to me then. As I grew up though, I started trying harder especially on school work, I always wanted to get my things done and have them done the right way. I would still slack a little when it came to homework because again I would devote my attention to other things. However, in high school homework and school work all became very important to me, that's what I would be doing most of the time. I wanted to set my future straight and I know in order to do that I had to work very hard in each course. After graduating high school, I got a job to help pay for college and for my own necessities and of course it was a new type of work that I had to get adjusted to. So now I deal with three types of work, school work, homework, and work in general. Dealing with the three of them at the same time can be very stressing but I take it very seriously because all the work will make me the person I'll be the day of tomorrow. They are different types of work but all of this is work nonetheless and it has to be dealt with the same way. When I imagine someone working, I picture someone doing all in their hands to get their job done the right way without slacking off and having responsibility to do things right. This image makes me feel that people actually take their responsibility seriously and that we can all work together for a better life. The reason why I now feel so strong about work is because I've witnessed all my life how my parents works everyday just to give my brother's and I a better future. Working has actually made me a responsible person with a strong attitude towards life. When I think about work, I also think of responsibility, commitment, patience, and of course strength. This suggests that our brains relate certain terms to others because one way or another they are all connected. Most likely other social classes think about work very differently. For instance, wealthier people might not see it as much as a necessity as those with fewer resources, therefore, they might not take it as seriously. I could think of work as an imprisonment, as something preventing me from having nothing to do at all, but that wouldn't be a more productive way of thinking simply because it would lead me nowhere in life.
