I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业)．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job，looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately，it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation.She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书) if I wanted to work with children.I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school.She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

No one thought that the RMS Titanic would sink on its first time at sea.But in 1912，the ship hit an iceberg and sank during the night.No one knew exactly where it had sunk.Even if someone had known，it was 12，500 feet (3.8 km) underwater.To
search for the Titanic so deep in the water seemed impossible.But，73 years later，Dr.Robert Ballard thought he had found a way to go that deep.
In 1985，Ballard set out to find the Titanic.He would use an unmanned submarine(无人驾驶的潜水艇)called Argo.Ballard's research team controlled it from a ship on the surface.Argo had video cameras and lights on it.This let Ballard see the ocean floor.
Argo searched for signs of the Titanic.For many days and nights，Ballard and his teammates found nothing but sand and sea life.Time was running out.Ballard had only four days left before he had to return his boat.He knew this would be his only chance.Then，Ballard was awakened by one of his men.It was just after one o'clock in the morning.He rushed to the control room.On a screen was the view of one of the Titanic's boilers.They had found it!
Argo took amazing pictures of the ship.Ballard and his teammates found that the huge ship was in pieces.The debris was spread across one square mile (2.6 km2) of the ocean floor.They saw teacups，bottles，shoes，and other belongings(所有物)of the passengers.
During his career，Ballard has made more than 100 trips underwater.He has done much to teach children about the oceans.But，he will always be thought of as the man who found the Titanic.
