It was the day of the professions at the municipal school. Parents attended and reported details of how practicing their profession. The students, curious, asked questions.

Some professions enchanted the class because of the courage needed, as the firefighters; or excited the fantasy of the children, such as the actor or musician or soccer player.

When Sergio's father entered the room, the boy were slipping into his chair, hoping to hide. He wondered what his father would say. His face got stained with shame.

However, Roberto, showing to be very comfortable, told that he was unemployed at the moment.

What is this profession? What it is, exactly, that you do? Asked, soon, an anxious boy.

Well, I would say that my main occupation, at the moment, is looking for a job.

A great silence was made in the room. Courageous, he continued his report.

Imagine that we are a soccer team and we are losing four to zero. So, we have two alternatives: we can give up or we can fight until the end of the game and try to revert the score. What would you do?

The class got excited and each one said they would keep playing, that they would score five goals to win the game, that they would give the best of themselves...

Well, has continued the father, I can imagine how many of you have parents who work all day outside the home and, in the evening, when they arrive tired, still juggle with the household chores.

I think of how many of you have older siblings who, after being out of home, to earn they own living, suffered difficulties and had to return to the parental home.

I am sure that a few of you come to school accompanied by a brother or a sister.

This is team. One helps the other, supports the other, sustains.

I am the player of a wonderful team, the most sensational team you could ever have: my family.

By this time, Sergio raised his head, he returned to sit upright and began to pay attention to what his father was saying.

Family is what there is of most important in life. My family supports me, in this period, in which I leave my home, every day, trying to get a job.

When I wake up in the morning, it is the smile of my family what motivates me to keep struggling, seeking.

My family stands my bad mood when I have a bad day . We are a team and, as in soccer, no matter in what position we are playing, it does not matter if we are losing the game, what matters is how to play, because there is always the possibility to revert the situation.

For this reason, I remain, every day, looking for a job that reassure me help my family, while it holds me, without complaining, without accusing.

My family is the best team, the most important of my life. And, for each one of us, it is for sure, the team, thanks to which, let us get on with it, not stopping with the obstacles that may be larger.

Family is support, it is union, it is aid.

When Roberto concluded, he was as much applauded as any other of the parents who had passed by there, describing the exciting things of their professions.

In the eyes of the children there was the brightness of emotion. In their hearts, the lesson of a father thankful for the wife and kids who understood his effort and gave him support.

A lesson that they would lead printed, in a indelible letters for their own lives.
