noble job

we people have the tendency to see people doing the dirty jobs as low or inferior to us. we think that they don't have the education or the brains because they end up doing the dirty works for us. and oftentimes, they are also discriminated against.

i admire one of our utility man in school. he is a full-time utility man and part-time student. he goes to classroom to check the facilities at day while he goes to classroom at night to attend his classes. one time i saw him sitting in one of the benches with his eyes closed. i approached him and he was surprise at my presence. he related that he had not gotten enough sleep the other night because they were busy cleaning the classrooms. he was there sitting and taking a 20 minute nap that i interrupted.

now he is graduating, not on top of his class but still he manage to finish his studies despite the hard work. the dirty works that most of us are not willing to do. but i think that is the noblest job, his job.
