Just like everyone，I have experienced ups and downs in my life．I am an aerospace engineer from India，I was told by my relatives，close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university．
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming．I was never interested in being a programmer，but things changed．I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master's degree in IT．
At first，I came across too many difficulties and setbacks．Coming from a middle-class family，the huge cost per credit was a big issue．My English accent was terrible．Most importantly，the course seemed impossible at first．Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated，I never thought of giving up．
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically．During my first month，it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments．But I never gave in．I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal．I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant，which meant lifting benches and chairs every day．
I took all these challenges as my chances，and I believed that hard work was my strength．Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation．
When you have a dream to realize，there is nothing that can stop you．All you need is the diligence and persistence．Hard work always pays off．Having a determined will is also necessary．

1．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
