Well, I left home in October 1988 to go to university, I was 19 years old. I think it was a good thing in one way, as I had to learn quickly, grow up and become independent. I had to learn to budget my money, buy things, cook, etc. But in some ways, I was quite immature and made some mistakes. I spent too much money and then went into a marriage too young at just 20.

I think you have lived an experienced life. It was 21 years old that I went to university. When I left school, I was 25 years old. Four years university life taught me nothing but playing computer games. It seemed that everyone was just playing during that period. Most of my classmates were like me. So, when I got a job after my leaving campus, I felt frustrated. I found I was badly want of knowledge.
If God could give me a second chance, I think I would never waste time again. To put me in a favorable position in the future job market, I now always study till deep night. Sometimes, I feel tired and considered that my life is gray while others are colorful. In some way I wish I would be you who can have a varied life.

Well, I am now 40, happily married (together for 13 years so far) and the mother of 4 teenage children, so I think I have a busy life now, but had to get through lots of difficult times inbetween.
