One Week Job Page #10
and all the things that I've
learned over the past year,
and just be looking forward
to next trailhead.
I don't know why,
but for some reason,
I knew something
was wrong at home.
When I called, my mom said,
"Sean, doctors
have found the lump,
and it needs to be biopsied."
She promised me
that it was nothing,
and that in her heart,
she believed
that everything would be okay.
When I stopped home
on the way to my next job,
the doctor had called,
and the results were in.
And he told me that I had been
diagnosed with breast cancer.
Well, this is not something
that you associate
with yourself.
You hear the word
and it's always somebody else,
but you never think
it's going to be you.
I remember so vividly
walking into the house
and Sean was down here
waiting for me to come home.
I took one look at him and Bob
and I started to cry,
so they then knew
that I had not been given
particularly good news.
Immediately, I didn't know
what to do,
I didn't know what
to feel or think.
It felt really surreal.
The challenge that Sean faced
is whether he could
continue the project,
but that was a bridge
he had to cross.
In my mind, I was battling
"Should I stay or should I go,"
or "Yeah, I should stay,"
and I was just kinda
going through the motions,
and I just wanted the time
to stand still.
Sean was packing,
and we were taking him
to the Greyhound Bus Station
in an hour,
but I saw the look on his face
as if to say
and immediately I said to him,
"Don't you even think
about staying."
There's just no way
that she would be happy
having Sean by her side
when he had this so important
a project to complete.
and "Sean, you'd better
get going.
You're going to miss your bus.
I just love the project,
I just think it's so exciting,
I just said to him,
"Go do it, go do it for me,
enjoy every moment,
tell me about it,
and just go live, go live."
I think that a person
given a choice
would aspire to do
and yet greatness is not
just handed over to you.
It's something you need
to work at.
There's going to be
some obstacles,
there's going to be
some challenges,
there's going to be some
road blocks in your way,
but if you have the will,
the desire inside,
you'll find a way through,
around, or over those obstacles.
you know, it's kinda grown,
and there is
something here,
you know, there's a movement,
you can kinda feel it,
you know, with just how people
are getting onboard
and they want to be part of it,
there's something more here,
there's something bigger.
Man the bird! Look at that.
Pull it, pull it, pull it!
Lean into it, lean into it!
Lift, now drive him up,
pick him up.
Wow, after just even
a few drills,
I'm like wow, I've got
a lot of respect
for these firefighters.
Exhausted, like, just fatigue.
Like, I could puke.
Yeah, I'm just realizing
that it was really selfish of me
to expect Danna
to be waiting for me.
And here I was travelling
all over the place
and being on the road,
and it must have been
really difficult for her
to be at home,
and now that the project's
coming to an end,
to working on us.
I was so beyond happy
for Sean
to have all of this done,
and he had completed it.
Week 52, final week,
I'm bringing it back
to my home town,
Port Moody, British Columbia.
so it's only fitting
that I end the whole year,
my experience,
Let's clean this town up.
Congratulations, your job.
Thank you.
I think the ability
to listen to the residents,
and to see the results,
to see those dreams
and the aspirations of the
residents become reality.
To me, it is personal
satisfaction.
I've quickly realized, as mayor,
that it can be quite difficult
trying to manage
all the stakeholders,
so basically, you're trying
to keep everybody happy.
There's all these
different committees,
different interest groups,
and everybody's
got their own agenda,
to give them more money
and not cut their budget,
so it can be a difficult task
trying to manage all these
different peoples' wants
and trying and keep
everybody happy.
How many people do we meet
on a daily basis
that hate going to their jobs,
you know?
Change can be good.
You don't have to be born,
raised,
and die in the same town.
You don't have to have one job,
and that's the end of it,
you know, you have to have
a narrow vision.
The world is yours.
I've always known
that I'm capable of anything
and that if I really
wanted something
and committed to it,
that I can achieve it,
and, you know,
to actually see all the people
that have helped me out
along this way,
that I could not have foreseen,
and the generosity,
and just openness,
and the willingness
to get involved
and support the project
over the course of the year
has been incredible.
Do any of us know
what we are looking for?
I think maybe when we find it,
we say,
"Okay, that's
what I was looking for."
To me, the most important thing
that I think Sean has done,
he's set himself a target
and despite all the obstacles,
he met that target.
That is something
that will pay off
for the rest of his life.
Ultimately, by starting
the one week job project,
I discovered that my passion
is to explore.
fulfilled
as a real estate agent,
a teacher,
or a motivational speaker,
but for now,
I want people to take away
a sense
that it is possible
to find your passion.
Sean is... he's a pioneer
for young people
what it is that you want.
of a rally cry for a generation?
The longer you wait
to pursue your passion,
the more inertia
you have to overcome.
My advice is suck it up.
I just think you
have to go for it.
You always have to go for it.
Take some time
and figure it out.
Don't just jump
into the first opportunity.
At my age, at 45,
time goes by very quickly.
It's very precious.
Don't waste it.
Until you take your last breath,
it's never too late.
There was this great relief
that one project had ended,
however,
I think we both realized
that it was really the beginning
of a new project,
with each other.
With each other.
I hope that others
take my experiences
as just another example
of somebody
who believed in something
and went after it,
and it worked.
What do you want to be
when you grow up?
