今天，Lady Lion 为大家带来Jean Blanc的来信。 他来自法国，现在在中国从事市场营销工作。

“教育”真的很神奇，被赋予了很多不同的功能，从社会层面来说，它能够跨越社会阶层，传承民族文化，甚至解放人类思想；从个人层面来说，教育能改变人的命运，提高人的生活水平。

请读：

我的名字是Jean Blanc， 1966年在巴黎出生，法国人。我是个混血儿，父亲来自非洲，母亲是法国白人。我的家庭属于一般的中产阶级。我在天主教小学和高中读的书。我不喜欢小学，修女们都很不好，我经常被惩罚，虽然很多时候我确实很调皮。高中也一样。我于1985年进入巴黎第十三大学，主修食品科学，梦想成为一名厨师。我发现自己很擅长烹饪食物，但不擅长摆盘。最后，我放弃了当厨师的梦想，从事着与食品相关的工作。

目前，我担任法国家乐福超市驻中国的市场与营销副总监。这份工作与食物不是太相关，与大厨也相距甚远，但是，毫无疑问，教育让我找到了一份好工作，同时也给我提供了旅游的机会，提高了我的生活水平和社会地位。此外，我还是我的朋友们的大厨，我很开心能够为他们烹饪。

我认为，教育能够提高人们的生活水平，不管他们来自哪里，他们是谁。

 MY Name is Jean Blanc. I am French born in Paris in 1966. I am mixed race，my father was from Africa and my mother was born in Paris and is White. My family was lower middle class and I went to Catholic primary school and high school. Primary school I did not enjoy. The nuns were mean spirited and I was punished a lot, but to be fair I most likely deserved it at least part of the time. High school was the same.  I started university in 1985 I went to Université Paris 13 – Paris Nord, I majored in food science and had dreams of becoming a chef.  I found I could cook very well but my presentation of the food was not as good as the food itself. I gave up my dream of being a chef, but still worked in food related jobs.

I am currently a representative for Carrefour, the French super market in China.  The job is not that food related but my education did give me the chance to have a good job and to travel.  While I am not a famous chef, or even a cook in a restaurant my education allowed me to improve my life and my social standing.   As far as being a chef I am a chef for my friends and am always happy to cook for them.

I think education can help people raise their standard of living regardless of where they are from or who they are.
