In my early 30s，I struggled to find a dream job.One of my friends reminded me that I'd always loved beauty，and suggested I apply for a licence，which would give me the freedom to set up my own business.
However，the only problem was that tuition fees were ＄6，000，which was out of my budget.I knew that my salary wouldn't cover all the fees，even if I worked extra hours every day.I'd seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals.I thought I'd do the same.Then，on a Friday night，I received a large amount of money in my bank account，which made me really surprised.There had been some mistakes.I assumed it was an illegal trick.
It turned out to be a donation.The name on it is one I instantly recognized：Chrissy Teigen，my favorite TV host.She had left a note： "I've seen that this has been your dream for such a long time.I'm so happy to lend you a hand." I called my mom immediately.I was crying and not making much sense.I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true.
The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her，but it was life-changing for me.Lots of other people donated after her.Soon I paid all the fees for the course.I couldn't have been happier.I've now set up my own business，and I always think about Chrissy's generosity.I did thank her，and I still follow each other on Twitter.Hopefully，I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday.
