Read You Thousands of Times and Never Get Tired of Chapter 42
42. Waiting for your triumphant return
Sharron: Head nurse, I don’t want to do this anymore.
susan: Why? You have always performed very well, you are enthusiastic and generous, you are kind-hearted, and you are good at communicating with patients. Patients like you very much.
Sharron: I know this. I want to find a job with a higher salary. Money is needed for children’s education.
Susan: The child still has a father. Don’t you like nursing work?
Sharron: Of course I like it. Because I am a temporary worker and my salary is not enough to support my family. I can’t count on my husband because he is always idle.
Susan: (Seeing the bruises on her wrists) I understand how you feel. I have been through a similar experience to you. My ex-husband had a bad temper and used harsh words to me. I left him in a fit of anger. I suggest
You go back to school, pick up your textbooks and apply for nursing school.
Sharron: At my age, it is not easy to go back to school. It is even harder than climbing a mountain.
susan: It’s never too late to become the person you want to be. Want to know how I became an official nurse?
sharron: I really want to know and would like to share it with you.
Susan: To tell you the truth, I didn’t tell outsiders that you were the first one. One year my mother had an operation and saw the nurses taking good care of her. I was deeply moved and secretly vowed to study nursing.
Sharron: So you applied for the nursing major?
Susan: Yes. Do you know how old I was when I got my diploma?
Sharron: I'm in my twenties.
Susan: I’m not afraid of your jokes, I’m already forty-six.
sharron: It’s amazing, so ambitious.
susan: You are younger than me, so you will definitely succeed in your studies. "It's not too late to make up for the mistakes."
Sharron: With you as an example, I will definitely work hard.
Susan: As women, we also need to be financially independent. We cannot rely on others, we must do it ourselves.
Sharron: It is a matter of pride to master some skills and create labor value with your own hands.
susan: Promise me: when you are successful in your studies and become a formal nurse, you will come back to me. Share your story and help more people.
Sharron: Definitely.
Susan: Waiting for your triumphant return.
After several years of hard study, Sharron kept his promise. After completing his studies, he returned to Susan and became a formal nurse. He worked until Susan retired.
