that I know what I want to study when I  graduate from school do you want to know

really of course I want to  know what will you study

I want to be a teacher just like you  how did you become a great teacher

thanks for that well it was not easy son

but I think it's important you know this  story how I got to graduate from college

well it all began when I was at the high school  the last year to be exact ly I was not sure about  

what I wanted to study then I mean what career  to study so I decided not to study for the moment

I started working hard to save money so I kind  of study a professional career later I had a  

lot of different jobs son I was a carpenter  an assistant a bricklayer a seller a waiter

well I had to work hard for some  years but unluckily I couldn't  

save enough money to start studying  it was not easy I had to work all  

day to pay the rent wood and many other  different things because I lived alone  

but one day that changed I was spending too much  time working and I could never save any money  

I had studied in an Institute I studied  English and then I started teaching English

but my salary was not so good I didn't  earn enough to pay the University  

but one day I decided I was going to start  no matter what and maybe you're asking how

well I didn't even know how I went to the  admission office and asked for information  

about a career they gave me all the  information it was not cheap at all

I still didn't know how I was  going to pay for my studies  

but I took the exam anyway I mean  the University admission test  

I passed that test and I got a vacancy I was so  happy even when I didn't know how I would pay

Oh but before that I forgot to tell you  before I took my exam I told you I want  

to ask for information well there was a woman  who interviewed me to know my scale of payments

she asked me a lot of questions questions like  where do you live what do you do for a living  

who are your parents what are your plans  for the future how much do you earn a month

you know I come from a poor City my parents  are poor and we went through difficult times  

I explained that to the woman who was  interviewing me she was a psychologist

and then she told me something that was  going to change the course of my life  

she told me you shouldn't study at this University  

you are poor and you don't earn enough  money you should go to a public university

I was like I didn't know what to answer she  continued you better go to a public university  

because you won't be able to pay for this one  you will have a lot of problems you can't do it

I was shocked by what she had told me I always  wanted to go to that University because I knew  

it was one of the best in the country of course it  was not cheap but I wanted to study there anyway

and when she said you can't do it I felt terrible  I felt that all my dreams were collapsing  

that day I went to my apartment and I was thinking  about what she had told me I was so depressed

but then I got angry just because she told me  I couldn't I wasn't going to listen to her am  

I right well the next day I went back  to the office and paid to take my test

as I told you before I passed the test and I was  in I was very happy but I still didn't know how I  

was going to pay for the University I think that  psychologists motivated me to take that decision

yeah I mean she told me I couldn't do it and  I didn't like what she said so I did it I know  

I know I know that sounds crazy but it really  happened that's how my professional life started

happily I had a credit card the bank had given  to me some months before so I asked for a loan  

and they gave it to me that's how I could pay  the University but it was a lot of money anyway

the money I earned every month wasn't enough  by my second year of college I already owed  

the bank a lot of money so I have to find a  solution otherwise I couldn't continue studying

I investigated a lot to find a solution  then I find out that the University was  

given a scholarship but this scholarship was  only for the best students in the University  

Anna was not the best in fact

when I was at the school I failed maths many times  and I had to go to the summer school to fix it  

I was not a good student but I had to do it this  time I had no option I had to be the best student

if I wanted to continue studying I had to  become the best student and have high grades  

it was not easy but I had to do it anyway so I  decided to work really hard to reach that goal

and you know what the worst thing was that I had  to be the best student and work at the same time  

yeah I had to keep working as a teacher to pay  the university the bank loan and all my stuff

I spent a lot of nights studying hard sometimes  I didn't sleep because I had an important exam  

the next morning I had to get a perfect score if  I wanted to get that scholarship it was not easy

I didn't eat well remember I lived alone and most  

of the times I didn't have enough  time to cook some healthy food  

so I sometimes just fry something to it  or ordered something to eat for delivery

but all those efforts one day ped off seriously  I worked hard and I became the best student in  

the University I got the scholarship even  when I had always been the worst student

can you believe it I graduated  from University and now here I am  

I am a licensed English teacher I earn enough  money to pay the rent and everything I'm so happy

I just want to tell you that if you want  something to happen don't just wait for it  

to happen do something about it whatever but  try to do something you can do it I trust you

that story was amazing thank you Dad I  promise I will work hard to reach my dreams

I'm sure you will I trust you  don't give up you can do it
