How time flies! One year had gone, and it seemed that everything happened just like it did yesterday.

I finished my master degree and started to my career in a bio-tech company in July, 2008. It is not easy for me at the beginning because there was indeed a gap between what you had learnt and what you would do. I was enrolled as a technician in research department. However, three months later, I was faced to transfer to market department as a office clerk, because my medical background was limit for exploiting new products. One colleague in the same research team with me was forced to leave my company, because of the errors in her experiments. Compared to her, I was lucky but in fact, I know that my boss at that moment want me to leave also. I didn’t choose to leave then, because I love my job and want to prove that I am a qualified and necessary clerk in this company. I strived to work hard passionately to cope well with every problem. At the same time, I learnt from others and corrected my shortcomings once someone pointed out. I also analyzed and made a conclusion about how to enhance efficiency. To my luckiest, my manager in my department realized my improvements and offered me a lot of advices to work more efficiently and fruitfully. Though my salary was not high, I worked happily with my colleagues everyday, and made more achievements for my company.

During last one year time, I was always looking for and finding my interests about my profession. In other words, I was thinking about my future profession plan continuously. I was once confused about it for a long time, and played QQ games to waste time. However, I finally found that I still have interests about my medical specialty, and I was determined to be a doctor. I know that I was short of clinical experience now, and I may review many medical books to catch up with my clinical classmates. In view of one important examination next month and my desire of being a doctor, I submitted my resignation on 11^th August. A lot of my colleagues don’t want me to leave, and I indeed have deep emotion with them in this company, after all it was my first job in my life. However, I know that I have to go and meet many other challenges.

I was not sure whether it was a good choice to resign, because I may have no money in the following months until I find another job after my examination. Last Friday (14^th August), my boss asked me that whether it was the low salary that made me left. I answered that salary was not the primary reason, and I want to be a doctor was the important one. He told me that he supported my choice to be a doctor. He suggested me that I can leave about fifteen days to prepare my examination, and then go back company to work until I find a new job. It means that I can deliver resumes and attend interviews in the following days, and my company will sets me free when I get a new position. I think it is a good idea for me, because at least I can support myself for a longer time. My boss was a smart and critical man in my mind; however, he treated me well this time. I have to confess that I learnt a lot from him, though he often criticized and instructed me about job.

One year time is a short periods in everyone’s life, but it was a milestone in my life. Not only did I accumulate important experience for job, but also realize what I want to be in the future. Everybody may have different aims in different phases. The dream of being a doctor, which is a great expectation for me now, is still a tough road to walk. I am making great efforts to achieve it, and I hope I will get a doctor position in the following two months.
