How Things Work

Jamaal Davis

The one thing that I see in Costa Rica that is the biggest different from the U.S is the way that people work here in Costa Rica. In the U.S when people say “work” nobody ever wants to get to it and do the work that they need to do. In Costa Rica when people say “work” it seems like there are no questions in peoples minds whether or not they should get to work! From the littlest kid to the oldest adult, they work! And they just don’t work, but they work hard.
Sometimes when we were working on something, I would look over and see and 5 or 6 year old kid working hard then I and that make me want to work harder. The one out of many things that I have learned in Costa Rica is how to really work. I have always been a hard worker but now that I have really had the chance to look at myself, I do put a lot of thing off to the last minute. I am going to try to be more like the people in Costa Rica that we have worked with and have no questions in my mind about when to start and finish my own work.
