1 . I'm a student in my fourth year of a medical science degree at Robert Gordon University, but I also work 38 hours a week at Sainsbury's. I work three times a week, one more if I can manage it. The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical—bringing new products out onto the shop floor.
I have two reasons to work for all my living costs. First, I have no right to get a student loan(贷款)because I was not born in Britain. Besides, my parents, who work in market research, can't afford my school fees.
On Monday I busy myself with work as well as study. I work from 10 p. m. until8a. m. on Saturday and Sunday nights, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 a. m. on Monday. I finish lectures at 2 p. m, and I have to be back at work by 10 p. m.
It isn't the best situation to be in, but I have to make full use of it. I would also like to have more time to study so I can be excellent at my course. Although I have a lot on my plate, a situation where I don't have much time to meet friends because of my job and study, I don't complain. And I always remember my parents tell me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
My dream is to take a further degree next year and then get a job at National Health Service(NHS)so I will no longer worry about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.
