I saw my second oldest sister yesterday. She was also on her way home. Although we live quite close to each other, I don’t see her that often. She told me last night that she got a job doing housework for a family. I thought that was great because she never really had a career since she got married not long after college. However, I also had some sort of mixed feeling because she was a French major in university. She never got to use that language skill after school. Sometimes, I think that’s a pity; yet who am I to judge?
Does going to university make an individual superior than others? Does that make a person smarter? In our society, I think we care too much about diploma. It’s true one can receive certain intellectual stimulation in a college milieu, but it also depends on a person’s desire to explore the world of knowledge.
I wish my sister had continued her French education and used that language skill, so we could speak French together. But I know she is happy with her life, which is the most important thing to me…
