  I like what you said to your student, and i believed it too, that all the efforts we did will contribute to the accomplishment of ourselves, no matter in what way, and no matter who we became.

She couldn't go to a training school for cartoonists because of the financial problem. She said she was going to work for a phermacy to save money for the school. 6 months later, she came to school and said “I'm really enjoying working now. I didn't know how meaningful to have a job.
