Year in year out, many high school graduates go to college to continue their education and pursue (追求) their lifelong dreams. College has many advantages for the later life.When I look back on the years I spent in college, I don't regret even a bit. As a matter of fact, I believe they were the most important years of my life.I came out of Saint Martin's College being a bright graduate, ready to take charge of my life and pursue all my dreams with a clear focus. Besides education, the kind of life I experience in college teaches me a lot about life outside school.

There are many differences between my pre-college years and the post-college years. To start with, I grew up in the countryside, so I was not used to talking with strangers. I was comfortable with my small world and could not see its changing.However, all this changed the day I stepped into Saint Martin's College.Though shy at first, I was amazed by my new surroundings; I met and communicated with people from all over the world.I made friends with students from other states and other countries. After four years in college, I was inclined to embrace (拥抱) the world.I didn't mind working in Asia or Africa for I was prepared.

College also prepared me well for employment, but I didn't even know what to pursue when in high school.Later I pursued a degree in business and I am working my way to being a CEO at the moment. The college really improved my chances of getting

a job and my earning potential(潜力)．

I want to encourage everyone out there to pursue a higher education. Anyway, higher education helps us increase knowledge about life; it provides us with an insight into various opportunities in life and thus makes one achieve his/her goals.

Mary Anyango, a young mother and health worker from Migori, Kenya, walks for about 20 minutes each way to get clean water from the river. Pregnant (怀孕的) with her third child, she must carefully keep her balance.The lack of clean water has threatened her young children's health.

In Oaxaca, Mexico, mother of two young children, Ramirez Negrete, takes a 40-minute walk each way to the neighbouring town to get water. Her eldest daughter dreams of becoming a doctor some day, and Negrete says that making sure her children are drinking clean water is one way to help them realize their dreams.

of Clean Water, produced by Procter & Gamble (P&G) and National Geographic and screened

in Singapore on World Water Day. The documentary shows the power of clean water to move people, women especially, beyond basic survival.
