Many American kids earn (挣) pocket money by doing housework. But 11-year-old Aaron Conley doesn’t just work for pocket money. He has a full-time job and it needs training, hard work, and most importantly, a love of performing.

Aaron has performed different roles more than 300 times. Child actors like Aaron have taken years of acting, dance, and singing lessons. These young actors tryout (试演) for parts in plays and movies. If chosen for a part, the children must work hard. For example, Aaron, a sixth grader, must juggle his acting work and schoolwork. That’s the hardest of all!

In fact, going to school became difficult when Aaron began receiving acting jobs in New York City. Many child actors go to private schools so that they can have flexible schedules (灵活的时间安排). However, these schools are expensive, so Aaron’s mother sent him to a public school. But the school schedule was difficult to follow because Aaron sometimes needed to leave in the middle of the school day for play practices or afternoon performances. Finally his mother decided to teach Aaron at home. But he still must finish homework just like any other student at his age.

Child actors and their families make many hard decisions. One of the hardest decisions for Aaron’s family was moving from Mississippi to New York City. Aaron needed to live close to his acting jobs. This meant leaving behind family and friends. Also, because of his busy acting schedule, Aaron isn’t always able to take part in activities. That makes it difficult to make friends in a new place.

Night after night, show after show, Aaron Conley is helped to remember the difficulties of his job, but he loves what he does. And it’s really worth the effort (值得去努力).
