Monologue

In my  senior year of high school, when all of my friends were discussing about which colleges to apply, i was thinking about if i should go to college, because I’m an overage student with poor fluency in English. College class will be very difficult for me. But ,if I go to work instead of attend college,I would not waste the time, and make my parent easy. And, I had read about many stories about famous people who didn’t finish college, such as Henry Ford and Steve Jobs. All of the life experiences of those people showed that the social experiences are more important than college education to one’s success.
However, my uncle laughed at me, and said:” Well, I agree that college education isn’t necessary for doing things, such as you don’t need degree in business to start your own business, or you don’t need degree in computer science to fix a computer. But, for you, the reality is that you don’t even know the language. How can you quit the school while you can’t even read newspapers? Or if you only want to live in Chinese community and get jobs that only serving Chinese customers. it’s fine. But it is definitely a boring life in new york. And , your immigration lost its significance if you still only live with Chinese.”
I admitted his opinion, continued my study in college. Also, my low wage parttime job reminds me, without education, life will be just as terrible as the parttime job.
