I was taught to be kind and brave.
I am a simple - minded person who only knows how to work harder.
I gained something by working hard, but I also gave something back.
My health is not as good as before.
Do you know why I loved watching dramas so much?
Because I was so poor, I needed to keep dreaming, so I could move forward steadily and believe in myself firmly.
I am the only educated college graduate of our generation.
My cousins, all biological relatives are all dropped outs.
Because they do not believe in education.
When I was young, my father told me that all the schools except Tsinghua and Peking University were useless.
"With your ability, can you get in? Don't dream on!" He told me.
My biological uncle told me: "Kid, don't go to school anymore, so useless, you'd better go to work and earn some money, the same as your older sisters and brothers.
All these sounds are getting worse.
When I was 12 years old, all the voices around me told me to give up.
But I believe in education, and I believe that only education can change my life and make my dreams come true.
At that time I did not know what kind of person I could be, but I did know the things I disliked. I want to be a better person, better than everyone around me.
I would like to have a dream. I want a future that I can pursue. It's not just living in vain.
I thought their lives were so empty. That was a childish idea. I respect all of them now. They have been working hard all their life, but they have no chances to seize it and can only make a living by working hard.
So I turned a deaf ear to anyone who told me to drop out of school.
I insist on going to school. And now everything has changed. My parents both regret that they did not support my education at that time. If they do, I will be better today.
Because now everyone believes in education.
What a great change has taken place!
Sometimes people ask me why I am still single?
Why didn't I find myself a boyfriend as soon as possible?
Why haven't I gotten married yet?
Why am I still so calm and not worried at all?
My parents and relatives hope that I will get married as soon as possible.
But I kept silent, and I was still in no hurry.
When I was a little older, I always knew that my life was different from others, and most college students.
All the people asked me to quit my education but I persisted at the age of 12.
If I can make the right decision when I am so young, how can I go blind when I am 29?
I know what kind of person I can be?
Maybe if I get a little bit lucky, then I might be someone even better.
The future ahead of me is clear.
In the past, when I was ignorant and could not see the hope in the future, I still graduated from university with a little dream.
Now, I have no hesitation.
By the way, I didn't tell you not to listen to others around you. This was not my intention.
I want to tell you that sometimes listening to others is good, which makes you a good listener, but they are not always right.
Sometimes, everyone may be wrong except you.
Nevertheless, we are adults, and we are no longer children. No matter what decisions we make, we must bear the consequences.
When you make a decision that is against everything, you have to think about everything carefully: if I do this, what is the worst result?
Can you afford this?
Both follow others and make decisions on your own are risky.
Remember, the decision you make today will determine what kind of person you will become tomorrow.
PS：I hope my experiences can help you. It helped me a lot. That is why I want to share it.
