I am not sure I am a strong girl, I am easy to cry when I face challenges but after cry I will stick to it again. I still remember 10 years ago I worked in a small company in a small city. I hate this company, because everyone here was sinking in the amusement, they don’t care about reading books and getting knowledges, they didn’t think about improving themselves. I was horrible to stay this kind of company, because I can foresee the future of my life. So, I wanted to change, I started thinking how to leave here. I can find another job in this city but unfortunately the choice was limited, most companies here were similar. At last I chose to get further education to get a master’s degree in Shanghai. Frankly, I must have a lot of hearts to do this thing because I faced to two main challenges. One was time, I didn’t have enough time to prepare for the entrance examination. two was money, I didn’t have enough money to pay for the tuition.
The day when I decided, I bought the materials to study, DVD class and the past years examination papers, that was much cheaper than onsite training classes.
Every day I kept studying 4 to 5 hours straight after work, sometimes got carried away and went to sleep very late. It lasted me 3 months to study and I passed the writing examination and interview.
Where can I get the money? Actually, I want to quit that time. I called everyone who possible to help me, but most of them cannot help on that. At last my cousin help me to figured out, she borrowed 30000RMB from his boss and asked me to pay back one year later.

I hated this company, because everyone here was playing around, they don’t care about reading books and learning anything, they didn’t think about improving themselves.
