My parents used to tell me how important school was for me, but I didn’t think so. I paid little attention to it. But one thing let me finally 1 what my parents meant.
One day, when I 2 a mobile phone store, I saw an advertisement on its door. It was hiring new workers!
“Sir, are you hiring people?” I went 3 the shop and asked. “Yes, but you should be the man who we need,” the manager answered. He looked at me for a few 4 from head to foot. “Do you have a high school diploma(文凭)?” 5 he, “Or do you have any work experience?”
I felt so ashamed and 6 that I didn’t know what to say, so I just turned around and left. I could not fall asleep that night, and I thought a lot about my 7 . “I must go to school or I can’t do anything without a good education,” I 8 to myself silently. I never went back to the store again 9 I finished my study and got a diploma.
10 looked the same when I returned to the store: the same people and the same design. However, compared with last time, I had more 11 . The manager told me they needed new 12 . So it was a great chance for me.
I 13 my diploma to the manager. He looked at it and said, “Great, you are in.”
Now I am still working in the same store. With this experience, I always 14 people to attend school. Education helps you have a bright future. Now I am not worried about my future because I’m still 15 in my spare time.
