Question

9．Finally，I entered the university．Because of my careful savings，I did not have to work during the school year．Then，summer came and it was time to work harder than ever．I continued working as a waitress at night，instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons．I even decided to take a class at a community （社区） college．This class at the community college saved me 650dollars．It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university．?
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling，I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus （校园） admissions office answering phones．This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out．I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks，but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me 1，600dollars more to get the credits in Israel．About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had 1，600dollars in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost，but the loss of time to make money； however，I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before．The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me．?This experience has shaped me in many important ways．The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic （伦理）．Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar．It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations．?
