ANTHONY MEDAL ESSAYS WHY I ADMIRE MY BROTHER CContinued from page 175 made his heritage and his education possible, parents who dearly appreciate his chats about sciences, humanities, and languages. Chicky l'oves and honors the foreign-born parents who, however brilliant they may be, have had neither the education nor the refinements that have processed their son. He does not condescend, for he considers what is his for- tune to be the achievement of his father and his mother, and he daily deepens his respect for a quick-witted father and a lovely mother. Chick is a connoisseur of all fine things, but he is down-to-earth. He takes out beautiful, charming, intelligent girls to luxurious places: but he drives a collection route for a furniture store Saturday mornings to Hlthy slums, in a '36 Dodge coupe, all without a tinge of con- tempt or pity, only with sympathy and un- derstanding. He is a joy to parents who well deserve such a son, parents who, amazingly, do not favor him even subtly. Friends may call on Chick at any hour, friends superior or inferior in brains or looks, Not many could be above him. But Chick is delightfully un- aware of judgments and ratings. Only sin- cerity does he judge: only warmth does he rate. He is astonishingly modest, refreshingly unaware of the worth he must know is his: he accepts himself perfectly. He is kind, con- siderate, and true. He is no saint, I try to convince myself, but he is: he is. I quarrel with Chick. I grew up with Chick. I have for a long time nursed a little healthy envy of him. It's good to be a little envious: it helps a personality and stimulates energy. It has helped me to adjust to a world where I will find many superiors. Because of his height. I have never been able to allow my- self the ruinous self-indulgence of conceit, only family pride. If I get a straight so does Chick. If I win a prize, Chick gets one a bit better. I am therefore compelled to compete in more important endeavors, While we compete, each an impetus to the other, we turn our sets of values to standards of good nature and sincerity, qualities he has taught me to admire. I like his girls and his friends. I like his ideas and his attitudes and his words. I love my brother. I love to know that he is my brother. Of course he is lucky. God bless this my Eighteen JOBS I HAVE HAD CContinued from page 171 most of the employees were school girls who were working for a short while, I met some older people who were forced to work there. Some had trouble and grief written on their faces, while others seemed not to mind life. Conditions can be quite uncomfortable, and certain instances proved it. One such instance happened the day two boys were taken to the hospital for extensive burns. We tried to for- get the heat and uncomfortable feeling, and somehow we lived through the day. With the end of summer I left the factory and re- turned to school. Impressed upon my mind were the thoughts of the widow with a large family, the woman whose husband was par- alyzed, and the many girls who quit school to take such discouraging jobs. Starting back to school, I decided I needed spending moneyg therefore, I applied for a job in a down-town store. I still maintained my opportunity to meet people. This time I met both types of people: the beauty-parlor type whom I loved because of what they were, and the factory type whom I pitied. The first type I wished Ito myselfj that they never taste hardship. The second type I prayed for silently that their anguish soon cease. Through my practical experience I have learned to love people. This, I think is my greatest benefit from part-time work. I look forward to my new job, which will be my full-time, permanentljob, with great anxiety. I want to establish a place for myself in this world-a world about which I have still much to learn-with the people I love so much: and I want to become a person myself -a real person with whom other part-time workers can experiment. brother and send him all the beams of love and luck that heaven can spare, beams he will promptly absorb and allow to shine through him. His magnificent adjustment to a friend- ly world is a marvel I behold in awe. It is here that Chicky achieves something rich and wonderful. He is an American youth who basks in the sunshine of success, but he works hard, lives well, and loves much. My heart goes out to my brother, who conquers fortune and bends it to a noble work . . . on a noble youth.
