(徐州期末)Amy Lee made a surprising choice a year ago—she chose to be a car mechanic.
From a young age, Amy has loved playing with cars. She's always interested in taking them apart. It is fun to see how they work. So it is an easy decision for her. In many people's eyes, this is an unusual choice for girls. The work may make them dirty and tired, which is a challenge. At first her parents were unhappy with that. They would rather Amy worked for the family business. People love the bread and cakes their family make. But Amy didn't want to join the trade.
Amy did lots of research into the job. She also worked as a part-time mechanic for a couple of months. Her parents talked to her boss. They knew she was serious. They understood her love for the work, so they decided to support her.
Now Amy has been in the car mechanic school for a year. “Do you find studying car repair difficult?” Many people ask Amy. And her answer is: “Yes and no. On one hand, I have to use computers and operate other high-tech machines. I have to learn a lot about physics and chemistry. On the other hand, I find the subjects interesting. It's worth the effort.”
Recently Amy won first prize in a car repair competition. She was the first woman to enter the competition and win! “Luckily, the prize proves my choice wasn't made in a rush. We should always follow our love and dreams, even if they seem unusual. Live life to the full and never regret it!” Amy said with a smile.
