Article #150 My Job
I work at a conservation park called Ball's Falls. I've only worked there for three
weeks now. I am a Tour Guide, and I tell people the history of all the old buildings
there. Somebody told me that one of the houses I work in is haunted. Now I get
chills every time I walk into that house! My boss told me that the stories aren't real,
but I have an active imagination!
Ball's Falls is very beautiful. It has two different water falls, the Upper Falls and the
Lower Falls. There used to be tons of water cascading over them, which turned a big
water wheel to grind grain. However, through the years the amount of water has
really lessened.
I love working at Ball's Falls because I get to work outside a lot. I am getting a tan!
In July and August, I will be working with kids there at a day camp. I am getting
ready now, making different crafts and thinking up fun new games to play. I can't
wait to start working with them. I think that will be the best part of the summer.
I will be going to work again tomorrow. I usually have to work from 9 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. I also like the people I work with. They are very nice. Come to Ball's Falls,
and I'll give you a tour!
