Why? You may wonder why I said we are wasting (or had wasted) our parents’ money? Obviously, not only money, but also our time.
This thought suddenly appeared in my mind, when I found that many basic knowledge were not enough for my 1st job, even they are quite simple which we’ve studied during high school or middle school. Why, didn’t we get the diploma? Sure, we’ve graduated from school, but the truth is most of us have never really wanted to study for mastering knowledge, but only for exam and diploma.

My 1st job was to be a technician in a factory, basic knowledge of physics and math were very useful in my work, such as to calculate the kinetic energy of moving object , calculate the radius of a arc by the coordinate of any 3 point on the arc, simply testing some of the electronic parameters of the electronic circuits etc. Meanwhile, I found that I’ve lost many of what I’ve once studied in school with high exam score, and I have to find out my schoolbooks to study them once again.
English was also useful for my 1st job, I need to read international standards and customer specifications, also I need to report the result of my works in written English. My score of English is very low in middle school and I gave up studying English after I entered high school. In the beginning, I was afraid of I could not be competent to the job. Fortunately, I found I can do the job better than my colleagues, due to actually my English level was not very bad but not satisfy my teacher and the examination paper only, also I found that my English could be much better if I didn’t give up study after middle school.
In that moment, I felt very sorry to my parents for I didn’t really master those basic knowledge and giving up study English after middle school. I’ve wasted their money and my life during the period I was studying in school!
In view of above experience, I found that not to waste your parents’ money, we must study for both getting the diploma and mastering knowledge.
Schooltime is now far away from me, I had no time for study but working. If the time could come back to the past, I would never waste money and time again…
