My Thoughts Changed

I was a white-collar woman two months ago in China. Now I am a Student, and I got married one month ago in the USA. It has been the biggest change in my life and I have enjoyed it.

It was very difficult for me when I graduated from university. I put all my energy in my work like other young people. With my passion and ambition, I achieved my objective. In shanghai, there are many women like me, devoting their life to their job. We don’t have time to talk about love, and many even think our job is our Mr Right. I was realistic and I succeeded at work. I was a manager when I was 25 years old. There were many headhunters who sought after me and recruited me by offering to pay higher salaries. Sometimes I felt happy about my work, but sometimes I also questioned my life: is this the life that I want to pursue? I felt I was losing my interests and myself every day, but life continued like bland water until I met my husband.

I met my husband in a party, and we were attracted to each other. We fell in love shortly after. After that time, I began to think about my life, and I found the most important thing I need to do is just to be a good woman. Love is a miracle. Because of him I changed myself from within. I realized I was indifferent and competitive before, but now I began to love life and study how to take care of others. I found I began to be happier each day. Finally, we decided to get married. We were waiting for about two years, and kept in touch with each other every day.

After everything was prepared, I quit my job and immigrated to the USA, where I must begin from nothing. I love my new life. We plan and achieve our goals together. In our minds we are young and nothing is impossible.

I believe this has been my best decision in my life: getting married to my husband. It totally changed my attitude about life. I learned that family is the most important for me. It will not disturb my work. On the contrary, because of the love and responsibility for my family, I have much more energy and passion for life.
