Eight years ago, I was reluctant to study at Printing University for I had no choice. I fail at the exam of annual Education University. And with my result I just could study at Printing University. I should have learned as I dream if I had gotten one more point in my result. I used to think become a teacher is very suitable for me like I was born to be a teacher. For this reason, I was so disappointed, I did not want to study Printing but I also could not stay at home without studying university. So I was unwilling to go to Printing school. Even though, I studied at Printing school I always put my mind in the Education school. I hated Printing. I always complained that I was an unlucky girl, why I had to learn what I don’t like, Printing was so boring, it was not attracted me. And I did not give my whole mind to study, so my study result was so bad.
I kept this attitude in a haft of the first term still one day, my Professor told me: “Doan Thuc, if you don’t like Printing, stop learning and find another school, it is not too late so don’t waste time here. And if you had decided to learn Printing, please be serious and study hard. Printing is not so bad like you thought. Printing has a lot of interesting things worth to explore. And because you chose Printing, so try to like it and try to explore it. I bet you will like it”
And my Professor was right. After I had a talk with him I decided to change. I was waste too much time in the bad attitude. Why I cannot love Printing? Why I cannot be a Printing Engineering, or Prepress Engineering? Why I cannot be a Graphic Designer? Oh yes I can if I love Printing and it is no big deal if I try more. I talk to my-self: “You have to love Printing”. I stopped thinking about Education school, and stopped complaining about Printing. I start to pay attention about all my subjects at school. I searched so much more information on Internet, in library and I had so many good finds. I was so amazed about this and I recognized that Printing is so awesome and Printing was worth to explore.
Printing is developed base on Computing and modern technology, so I also need to learn about Computing, and for these reason I always update a new things and never felt backward. I was making great strides in learning.
In the other hand, Printing is a modern Art, so I also was studied: How to arrange a beautiful magazine? How to make a beautiful font face? How to create hard cover book, a packaging, a calendar, a poster….? All things make me feel I am an artist who creates the beautiful things for our life. The point is clear, so there is no need for further argument, Printing is fully captivated me. I learned it wholeheartedly. Very lucky I am, I found what I love in the early life.
When I was the third-year student, I became an intern at one of the Printing house of this city. I worked very hard and tried to learn the new thing and compared all the reality in the factory to what I have learned in school. I tried to come face to face with reality. And I the result finally I had is I got the job at that company, got some awesome achievements in my work. I think I am worth to enjoy the fruits of my labor. And I am always proud of myself about what I have done and all what I have today is all my endeavors, my serious working.
There is nothing you cannot do as long as you try all your best. I believe you can do it. You just can be successful when you change your attitude and do your work seriously.
