Original
Over more of ten years ago, my life was very different. I worked for twelve hours a day because there was a boom in the construction sector and I was an appraiser at that moment. I had to appraise many houses every day. People were crazy. So, my job never finished until I said ‘stop’ every evening.
However, that life wasn´t satisfactory for me, since I hadn´t work-life balance. I felt very stressed. For this reason, I decided that it was the time to change of job.
In addition, if I wanted to be a mother some day in the future, I couldn´t work too much. What could I do?
Fortunately, I found a job from 8:00 to 3:00 p.m. in a construction company. At the first, it was hard because I was working in two sites for three years. But after that, my life was become very better because nowadays I have enough free time to see friends, be with my family or relax.
My dream was also come true, I became a mother three years ago and I can look after her every day.
In conclusion, I´d like to recommend you to try found a work-life balance and I´m sure that you´ll be happier.

Thanks Marina for your corrections earlier, and I have to say your English is great! Only a few minor tweaks. I would have written more to explain the changes but I've been standing in front of the salad stand of Waitrose typing this on my mobile for the last 10 minutes ;D
