Summer job


hey guys


My parents have been getting at me about getting a job this summer but I wont be able to ski and have a job at the same time, the irish waterski federation told me that this year I would have to work and train harder than ever because I went up an age group so I would be competing against older and more experienced skiiers than me.

When I told them that my parents made me work this year the federation said that if I don't train enought this year they woulden't accept me on the team.

I was really sad for a while because I thought that I woulden't be able to ski for the team but then I had an idea. What if I worked in a ski school?

My parents thought that it would be a good idea so I rang up some ski schools in Spain but they said that they were in no need for more help.

I thought I was finished but then one day when I got back from school my Dad told me that he got me a job in a ski school. I got really exited but then I asked him where. He said that is was in California, ina place called Bennets, a really known waterski school. At first I thought it was really far away, but then I remembered back to a tournament that I went to there and the people were friendly and I knew the boss.

When I told the federation that I found job in a ski school they told me that it would be fine to ski on the team and work in a ski school.

So that was a whole load of pressure off my back.

(picture is of the three lakes in benetts, the color of the water is diferent because weed grows in the lakes , so they use coloured dyes to kill the weed)
see ya.:)
