The singer, Mick Jagger, sings a song that tells us we can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. In the past years my parents have told me this saying many times. But I didn’t listen to them.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I can’t see her and she is having a difficult time in school. So last month, I tried to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money. Finally I thought I could get a job and work hard to earn some money. I applied to Safeway Company and I succeeded.
I have worked at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. We both smiled. I believe that you can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
