Chapter 7: Life Perspective(2 / 2)

ly about twenty to thirty students from our county were admitted to the Secondary normal school, and only after they were filled did they consider other vocational schools. High school was the last option. Later, I attended senior high and took the university entrance exam. I ranked among the top thirty in the county during the high school exam. After graduation, I worked at a commercial bank for about two years. Then I resigned and worked in finance at an Western Group private company for a while. Eventually, my parents asked me to return home to take the teaching qualification exam. They suggested that even if I passed, I could hire someone to teach while I continued working outside. So, I came back and took the exam. I ranked first in the most competitive high school and ended up staying in my hometown. I taught for a year, and my original qualification was for a math teacher. In just one semester, I improved a class''s Chinese scores from the bottom three in the county to the top three."
