The dream of my overseas educati

The dream is beautiful, while the reality is cruel.

As failed the Gaokao for the dream of a scientist, I decided to change to the Liberal Arts. For this change, the book Red Star Over China, written by Edgar Snow, had been influenced me.I thought I could like Deng Xiaoping went to France part-time work and Part-time studying.

I  have joined the class to review in the county's high school. But history and geographic almost are new subjects for me. I was not sure if I can catch up with the lessons or not in the few months to the Gaokao next year.

Only after two months, the bank planned to employ some new staff from the students who failed Gaokao.

My parents want me to have a job. Also, l am not confident about the Gaokao next year. So I have joined the bank as a teller started my career. However, I still have my dream for university education even become an international student. Therefore, while I worked for the bank in the daytime, I studied at night. From 1981 to the summer in 1983, In the two and a half years, I have read many books in literature. And I started to learn English from the radio.

In 1983, I had a chance for the School of Continuing Education entrance examination. I have got the highest ratings on the test in our county. Then I started my major in finance and economic studying on the radio and TV university for three years in Yancheng city.

I was the only one to choose the English language for an optional course in our class.

梦想是美好的，现实是残酷的。

由于高考没能实现科学家的梦想，我决定转学文科。为此，埃德加·斯诺的《红星照耀中国》这本书对我产生了影响。我想我可以像邓小平去法国那样，半工半读。

我参加了县中学的复习班。但是历史和地理几乎是我的新课题。我不确定我是否能在几个月内赶上课程，直到明年的高考。

仅仅过了两个月，银行就计划从高考不及格的学生中招聘一些新员工。我的父母希望我有一份工作，我对下一年的高考也没有信心。所以我加入了银行作为出纳员开始了我的职业生涯。

然而，我仍然有我的大学教育的梦想，甚至成为一个国际学生。因此，当我白天在银行工作时，我晚上学习。从1981年到1983年的夏天，在这两年半的时间里，我阅读了许多文学方面的书籍。我开始通过收音机学英语。

1983年，我参加了成人高等教育的入学考试。我在我们县的考试中获得了最高分。然后我在盐城市的广播电视大学开始了我的金融和经济专业学习三年。我是班上唯一一个选择英语作为选修课的人。
