Patrick lived in Emeryville but every Sunday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle's bookstore in northview where he worked
part-time. The commute was long and sometimes tiring, but Patrick didn't mind. He enjoyed spending time at the bookstore, surrounded by shelves of books on every subject imaginable.
As soon as he arrived, Patrick would roll up his sleeves and get to work. He helped customers find the perfect book, organized shelves, and even assisted his uncle with inventory. It was hard work, but it was rewarding.
After a long day at the bookstore, Patrick would catch the two buses back to Emeryville. As he sat on the bus, he would reflect on the day's events and think about all the books he had seen. He loved being surrounded by stories and knowledge, and he felt grateful to have a job that allowed him to be a part of that world.
Despite the long commute, Patrick looked forward to Sundays at the bookstore. It was a place where he felt at home, surrounded by the words and stories that he loved. And as the bus rolled through the streets, taking him back to Emeryville, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to work in such a special place.
