18.I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job,looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
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(资格证)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.

15.Years ago,I lived in a building in a large city.The next building was only a few feet away from mine.There was a woman living there,and I had never met her,yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon,sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by,I began to notice that her window was dirty.Everything was unclear through the dirty window.I would say to myself."I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window.It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning,I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.What a surprise!Across the way,the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见).Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me.I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me.How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart,through my own shortcomings?
Since then,whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone,I asked myself first,"Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
