My dream was to study at a good university, but my family did not have enough money. I had to decide the ways that to say at home and start working or try to get a scholarship and continue my education. Many of my friends started working and helped their families. It seemed like the easiest way for me to. I was worried about money and I didn’t want to be a problem for my present. My present also said that it was my decision. Some relatives told me that education is very important and if I worked hard I could get a scholarship. I spent many days thinking about my decision. I talked to my teachers and listened to their advice. They supported me and helped me to believe in myself. I decided to study harder and a beautiful different scholarships. It was pretty easy. I was tired and sometimes wanted to give up, but I remember my dream. After a few months I received a little change that I had before a scholarship at university in another city. I was so happy but also nervous because I had to move far from my family for the first time. It forced me to think that it was difficult. The city was new.
