Rita's school life

Date: January, 2007

Grade: 92

The person who has influenced me the most spiritually, Rosa Lo, is my adviser in church. In our lives we meet many people and they all influence us in one way or another. Because of God’s grace to me, He brought an angel to accompany me. In the beginning of my belief in God, Rosa nurtured my spirit and daily life, so I regarded her as my elder sister. She always makes me feel the best about myself and she has genuine concern for me. During my sorrowful time in a valley, she consistently listens to me, values me and guides me in what I have to offer; as a result, I become strong enough to face the storm of trouble. Due to her helping me grow and tap into my passion with children, I have become a teacher of Children’s Sunday school. To be a worker of God in the future, following from her helping me discover God’s plan and dream, I decided to move toward the goal. Rosa has taught me so many different things. She has taught me the power that optimism can have o a person. She has taught me how to treat other people, and most of all, she has taught me how to love.

I have wanted to become a university student since I was a child. But I missed out the first time round, for my entrance examination score wasn’t good enough to enter a good high school. Then, my parent made a decision for me, letting me enter a cram school to prepare for the entrance exam of the next year in 1982. After the second exam I took, my parent made another decision for me: they chose a good junior college to avoid another failure three years later on the entrance exam for university. Even though I didn’t like the major Banking and Insurance, I still had a good time in the junior college, from 1984-1989. However, I was graduated from junior college, and began to work very hard for the next ten years. Fortunately, I was promoted to be a manager. As the circumstances changed, meanwhile, I found real aspirations: I needed to possess a higher education qualification to enhance my career prospects. Having begun the serious thinking and careful planning, I received from a hint at a Christian seminar. It was a strange experience to me for my poor English ability that I could understand half of the foreign pastor’s speech. Then I started self-study for the entrances exam of the university of Science and Technology. During the preparation, the Lord also gave me a lot of courage to keep up with the long-term complicated enrollment process. Finally, I got a high enough score to be a student of AFL in NTUST, which was my priority school. Yes, I became a student of AFL in NTUST, and the Lord fulfilled his promise to me.
