In my last semester of college in the US，I struggled with the decision to move to New York to pursue an advertising career，or to stay in Florida to be near my loved ones.While I was leaning toward the latter，everyone kept telling me if I didn't go to New York，I would never make anything of myself or my career.Thosestatements made my blood boil，but also made me decide to stay in Florida.
   I accepted a marketing coordinator （協(xié)調(diào)員） position with Coton Colors.I knew the company was growing fast，so it felt like a great place to begin my career.In Coton Colors，I tried to establish myself.I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or simple design.I started undertaking more tasksand discovering things I liked and excelled in.I continued to ask for more responsibilities，and before I knew it，I was leading meetings，directing support staff and taking off in my position.
   I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates.It seemed that most of them were still assistants，running to get coffee and make copies，without getting any useful experience.Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career.I didn't need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team-I was already part of one.I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team.After only a few months，I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to maintain my regular job duties.In the end，all of my hard work and devotion paid off.
   I have watched myself grow from an entry-level college student to a valued member of a powerful management team.I have overcome many stereotypes（刻板印象） of my generation with my hard work and positive attitude
