My parents used to tell me how important school was for me, but I didn't think so. I paid little attention. But one thing let me1realize what my parents meant.
One day, when I walked past a mobile phone store, I saw it was hiring (雇用) new workers! I went into the shop and asked for the job. The manager looked at me for a few seconds2. “Do you have a high school diploma (文凭)?" He said, "Or do you have any3experience?" I felt so ashamed (羞愧的) and I just turned around and left.
I could not fall asleep that night, and I thought a lot about my4. "I must go to school to5my study because I can't do anything without a good education," I said to myself silently.
Everything looked6when I went back to the store years later: the same people and the same design. However, compared with last time, I felt more7. The manager told me they needed new workers. I showed my diploma to the manager. He looked at it and said: "Great! You are8."
Education helps you have a bright future. Now I am not worried about my future because I'm still9in my spare time.
