Hi, need to submit a 500 words essay on the topic The value of work.

I must confess that education was not, at first, the focal point of my passions, nor was it one of my primary interests. The transformation of education from a duty to an interest, to a passion, was a gradual one. Nevertheless, I can pinpoint one specific incident which began the aforementioned transition. During my first year in community college, the class was assigned a research on the Great Depression. Students were required to read through primary sources and identify the causes of this event. Initially treating it as a rather tedious task, as I read through first-person accounts, I found myself transported to a different age and my desire to learn more was fuelled. I began to access more books and articles on the topic, and within the space of a week, had learnt all that I, within the limits of my resources and intellectual capabilities, could about the topic. I had learnt that I was interested in research and had discovered just how engaging the economic and business worlds actually were. From that moment, my interests, including my extracurricular readings and studies, were focused on both business and economics.When I graduated community college I knew that I wanted to transfer to university and major in Business, not because it held the promise of a high paying future career but, because I was genuinely interested in the topic.This is not because I have any unique aptitude for learning or because of my elevated intellectual capacities but, because I had genuinely enjoyed my studies.
