Getting a job by Maya Angelou is a famous black writer that in her autobiography "I know why the caged bird sings," wrote about how she got the job as a streetcar conductor.
- The first thing that she does is deciding to get a job. Then she decides that she wants to be a streetcar conductor. The problem here was that she was a black woman, and at that time, it was hard for them to get those kinds of jobs. Her mother told her that she would not be able to do it. However, she had her mind set on that. So she joined Negro organization for supports and did everything possible to be hired.
- It was during this process that Maya and her mother began the steps to mutual admiration. Maya admired her mother for her support, and Maya' mother admired her for her perseverance.
- Her perseverance was a success. She managed to get the job and become the first Negro of the San Francisco Streetcars under the name of Marguerite Johnson, which is her real name.
- Maya's mother was still supporting her, driving her to her work during the early hours to keep her safe. After that experience, she returned with her formal studies. There she realized that her experiences were different from the ones that her peers had at that age.
