My Views on Receiving Education
In my early years, I did not see the value of education.
When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.
One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.
I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.
When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.
I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.
I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.
“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.
我對教育的看法
在我小的時候，我不覺得教育有什么價值。在13歲的時候，我開始經(jīng)營我自己的商店。從那時開始，我為成為一個成功的商人而努力工作。
一天，我意識到了英語對做生意的重要性并且開始上夜校。
在經(jīng)過兩年的英語學習之后，我已經(jīng)能夠很流利的和外國顧客交流。但我逐漸意識到，從長遠來看，我現(xiàn)在僅有的英語知識無法使我的生意蓬勃發(fā)展。我知道只有淵博的知識是我未來成功的保證。
18歲的時候，我必須在繼續(xù)從商和重新回學校學習之間做出選擇。當時我僅有的小學學歷成為我接受高等教育的一大障礙。經(jīng)過4個月各門功課的惡補，我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到學校，讓我有些尷尬。因為我的同班同學至少比我小2至3歲。然而在我看來，年齡不是問題，重要的是能上大學。
