Eric graduated from university last summerwith a degree in marketing.He now has a entry-level marketing job.he works hard and enjoys his job.He also loves his part time job.On Saturdays he vonlunteers as a baseball coach for orphans. Eric really enjoys his vonlunteer work.He knows the kids need good role models.He loves making a difference in their lives.But Eric's parents think he should stop vonlunteeing."Why don't you put in some overtime at work instead" his dad says."You'd get more experience and could earn a promotion faster." So if you were Eric,what would you do?just give up vonlunteering ,or keep his dad in the dark about the vonlunteering,or have a frank talk with dad and persuade him to understand you?

I think it's great that he is vonlunter as a baseball coach. I think his dad need to let him do what he wants and he is happy to baseball coach for the orphans, those kids will look up to him as a role model. I think his dad needs to be proud of his son for voluntary as a baseball coach.

You can make all the money in the world but there is nothing as soul satisfying as helping those children. I think Erics parents need to stop and think about how rich Eric really is.You already got a promotion bud right up to the top of those childrens hearts. Eric should have a talk with his dad and tell him you are an adult and helping those childrenis better than any promotion you could get.

He needs to do what he wants. If teh volunteer job makes him happy then he needs to do that. Unless Eric is just all about money.
