For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to attend the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain future
The weeks ahead weren’t easy . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same situation as I was before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in fear ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting pain And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to write . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope . And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!
I put my dissatisfaction into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who refused to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination — I was offered a publishing contract (合同) for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look tough now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the courage to push beyond the river. 展开

对大多数人来说,“毕业典礼”是一个激动人心的日子,但我的毕业典礼。
我记得那个周末两年前。家人和朋友本来是从全国各地参加庆典。但就像其他人一样在我的课堂上,我观看了这场经济转差四年级学生。几乎我们所有人都有学位的毕业生,但很不确定的未来
接下来的几周里并不容易。我知道我的小的大学城不能给我任何机会,所以我收拾我的车,开车在加利福尼亚南部去找工作。但我认为会花一个星期拖进两个,然后4和100份求职申请书后,我发现自己在同样的情况,因为我从前
你知道当你醒来感觉恐惧?这种感觉在我的生活中成为一个常数。天觉得周,周像个月,许多个月感觉永远痛苦和最恼人的部分是无论我怎么努力,我只是无法似乎取得任何进展
所以我做了什么能让我的判断力?我决定写信。关于网页把话讲了一切似乎有点更清楚的——再调亮一点。一些关于写作给了我希望。
然后有一天,没有任何形式的写作学位或接触写作的世界——只是一个许多艰苦的工作和决心,我提供了一个出版合同,我的第一本书的!在那之后,事情渐渐开始发挥作用。有人给我一个第二本书的交易。然后,几个月后,我收到一个采访沃尔特·迪士尼公司和被雇佣在不久的将来。
不要放弃。即使事情看起来很硬了,别放弃。如果你努力工作,总将得到更好的东西。
