I work in a carnival. Traveling all year long is wonderful,
moving from state to state as the weather changes. I also get the chance to
work all of the games and the rides. I have always loved studying human nature
and at the carnival you see it all. Everything from the suit wearing business
man talking on his phone instead of waving to his kid on the carousel to the man
in a matching outfit doing his very best to knock over three milk bottles to
win his son a stuffed lion to the family
running around together obviously having more fun than everyone else.
Everyone in the carnival bands together to help each other. If
they didn’t set up and take down would take days instead of hours. I got to
learn how to put together and take apart each of the attractions and help out
with the acts when needed. My favorite thing to do is assist the magician. The
wonder on the faces of the children helps me believe in the good in the world.
