Like many other young boys, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I was a middle school student. My mother wanted me to be a teacher like her, but it seemed that I was not interested in it. My father wanted me to be a pianist. However, I couldn't stand spending all of my time in front of a piano.
I got my goal(目标) after I went to high school. I got a parttime job at the school radio station and I found it was interesting. I loved to discuss school life and my favorite music with my schoolmates on the radio. I kept doing this job during the next six years. When I left the university, I got a fulltime job at a radio station. My career(事业) began. Now my program is successful and I have a lot of fans. I enjoy my job and my life.
