When I was a senior high school student, I had to drop out of school to work in a factory. Because my family couldn't afford my tuition (学费).
Later on, something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I walked slowly in the street. Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head and found "the sky" was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I noticed a middleaged man with one leg on crutches (拐杖) standing behind me. He said to me, " Why not run without an umbrella？If you don't run, you will getdrenched. "
The man told me that he was a salesman (推销员). He once dreamed of being a policeman, but his dream ended in an accident. Though now his job was not fit for his legs, it was a wonderful start to him. He didn't lose heart and still "ran" on the road of life. I was encouraged by the man's words. I went to a big city and after two years' running, my family condition (条件) turned much better. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.
Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you can't find a way to prevent you from being wet, you will be overwhelmed (被压倒). But if you decide to deal with it, you'll find that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.
