I regret my decision about that I didn’t choose a high school, so I can’t go to university. At that time, my mom hoped me that I can work earlier, so she wanted that I can go to another school for four years, so I do it. When I became a nurse, I founded I hate it. It’s unsuitable for me. I loosed my time to do it, and I loosed a chance of university. However, I work good, I changed my job to choose the sales industry. It’s good for me. Now I have a high income. I hope my daughter can follow her heart and she can choose the way she wants to do it.

Writing exercise

I really want to write about this topic, I’ve had enough of it. If we work at a store we only wear black, not any other color. So I have a lot of black clothes, including black overcoats, black dresses, black suits, black shoes… I change my clothes every day, but everyone else sees me in the same clothes. I really liked wear black before I joined the company, but now I wear any color on my day off, except black. Every time I buy clothes to wear to work, it’s a headache. Clothes that fit our work requirements are hard to find, even if the right ones are usually expensive. The image of our manager is important, so we can’t wear a cheap suit. I pay RMB37,000 on my clothes of work a year. However they look like the same one, and I don’t wear them on my day off. So I have to buy some clothes on my day off, poor me.
