One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me．I told her about my situation．She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（資格證）if I wanted to work with children．I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school．She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful．My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course．I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten．
Now I've got a full-time job there．I shall always be thankful to Megan．I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．
