University education constantly calls to my heart. It is my thought now and again that without going through this stage of studies,very little can be done, very little or no success at all can I achieve during the course of my career. I must determine therefore to go to an university at the first opportunity.
Today my thought is centering at the St John University at Shanghai. This university as I have heard, offers a course in English of an advanced standard, much better than those in other Chinese universities. Besides, it is situated in Shanghai, the biggest city and port in China, the centre of culture, industry and commerce.
The subject I would choose, I think, should be English Literature. I should try to be a translator, reporter, a journalist, an editor, a school master, a writer, a secretary, etc.
I should save $1000 a year and after 4 years I should be studying in my desired university.

Note: My father never realized his dream of pursuing a university education, but his desire was realized 4 folds through his children and many many folds through his 16 grandchildren
