BR 3-7: Chance of a lifetime

Helen picked up the plate from Jill and read its message: 'Be true to yourself.' She smiled. (p.55)

     Have you ever fell in the crucial situation? In my case, though it was smaller thing than the protagonist, Helen's one, making my choice among so many schools is the most important like high school, university and language school. Today, I'll focus on Helen's work and life on the ups and downs incidents.
     She has a potential boyfriend, Tom in Scotland, and expects that he will ask her to merry and live together. Pleasant news comes to her; she can become a tour guide in Europe. While she is worried about the distance and relationship with her boyfriend, tour is taken place. In the tour, there are all walks of people from noisy guys to a rich woman. It's the first job for her, so there is no enough time to take a rest by herself. Besides, in the end of the story, an accident happens in which two participants are criminals and they've been escaped from police. Helen counts on them confidently all the time, which makes her more desperate.
     After she comes back from the tour, an idea comes up with her. She realizes work and private life shouldn't be always perfect, sometimes one needs taking more time. I guess she grasps how potential her life is, which is possible to change ways any time after making a big decision. Through a big incident, we can gain a truly new idea.
