An Important Event That Changed My Life - Went To The UK

What will happen in next second? No body can know. If you do something special, life can be different and full of surprises. I had worked in the Farmer Association for seven years since 1990. Even though the work was very easy to do and well paid. I did the same thing every day for while. It was real boring then I thought “will I sit here for my whole life?”
I quit my job when I was thirty years old and then went to the UK. I started to study English in England. I met people from over the world and get to know different cultures from them. The different cultures made me love traveling, so far I have been to more than fifteen different countries.
After learning English from language school, I applied to a fish farming course in Shetland. There were 25000 people living on the island. In winter the sky gets dark at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. And light at 9 o’clock in the morning. Also, the weather is much cooler than in Taiwan. I was the only person from Taiwan. There were only 4 students in my class, 3 English young boys and me, so in the class I always got in trouble with my English, but the classmates and teachers were very kind to me, especially tow of my teachers who were absolutely patient to teach me. I will never forget them. I still chat with the two teachers by MSN even though I left Shetland 5 years ago. They are the best teachers I have had so far. I am kind and patient to my little students just like the two teachers were kind and patient with me.
After coming back to Taiwan, I get an English teaching job in a cram school. I really enjoy teaching and playing with children. The job made me go back to college to earn more English.
I really had a wonderful time when I was in the UK. If I did not go to the UK; I would still sit in the office doing the same boring job. I would not meet such excellent teachers, I would not go back to college, becoming a student again, and would not meet so many young classmates for my friends. It might change my life again after graduate from the college.
