Some people may say that knowledge can't change fate, only "wisdom" can change fate. I don't deny it, and I can't answer for sure, because I'm just a dream-chasing teenager, and my dream hasn't come true, and I've been wandering on the edge of knowledge and dreams. In this case, I can only answer this question.
Speaking of knowledge, I'll tell you a story I don't want to mention easily. I don't know when it started, but I suddenly had the complex of teaching in Huining County, Gansu Province, but I kept dragging my feet because there was no chance. Opportunities always favor those who are prepared. This sentence is true, at least I believe it. When I was brushing my circle of friends in the next semester of my second year of high school, I accidentally saw a dynamic. The most conspicuous line is "dream teaching team recruits talents", and I can't wait to go in. After opening it, it was another big surprise. The teaching place happens to be there. Needless to say, I signed up decisively. At that time, I filled out the application form and everything went smoothly. Finally, I passed the interview and became a member of the teaching team that went there.
At the end of July, a group of 10 people arrived at the primary school with great expectation after taking the train for 8 hours and the bus for 3 hours. Fortunately, the real environment we saw was not as bad as the outside legend, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that I can't accept the harsher environment, but I think that if the environment here is not so cruel, children can have a slightly better learning environment. I was born and raised in the countryside, so it goes without saying that I have suffered a lot. At least I grew up in a barren environment and have been immune to loess and north wind. However, among the competitors, there are girls from the south. At that time, I was wondering if they would not persist. I can't help secretly enjoying myself, but I don't know where the "happiness" came from.
In the process of teaching, home visit is an indispensable link, and we are all happy to go to students' homes to chat. To a great extent, it is to better understand the basic situation of students' families and facilitate better communication with students. According to local villagers, there is a college student in almost every family here. Only by being admitted to the university can you get out of the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of the mountain. So the children here are very serious in school and have an indomitable spirit. We can imagine that students in a national poverty-stricken area can sit in the classroom and study carefree like children in the city without the help of various national policies. I don't think it's possible.
I remember at a class meeting, I asked every student to speak out their dreams loudly. In that class, there is such a voice: my dream is to be a doctor, my dream is to be a scientist, my dream is to be a painter, my dream is to be a teacher, my dream is to be a musician, and so on. Everyone said their dreams. But I was distracted at that time, wondering which of these "dreams" was not supported by "knowledge". Inadvertently, I also said "knowledge changes fate" to my classmates, so you must study hard, get into college and realize your dreams.
Take myself as an example. I am a college student who has enjoyed all scholarships and grants. Of course, I have enjoyed state funding to varying degrees not only in university, but also from primary school to university, and have been bathed in the "spring breeze" of the country. Especially after I went to college, I really felt the country's emphasis on education. I don't know how many rural soldiers like me, relying on various national policies, are relaxed and happy on the campus of universities. Although the life of farmers is much better now than before, those children who drop out of school early because they can't afford to pay tuition fees will inevitably really take care of the saying that "children from poor families take care of themselves early." From this point of view, it is a happy thing that we can finish college smoothly.
In a blink of an eye, twenty days of teaching life is over. By the time I came to my senses, I was already on the train back to Xi 'an. On the way home, my mind always flashes the seasons, places and customs I met along the way. When you think about it, you can't help but feel a little pain. Fortunately, half a year has passed, and several students have been keeping in touch with me, listening to their carefree words and laughter, and I am also very happy.
Sometimes when I think of the children there, I can't help but think of my work experience. Working on the construction site more than once during the summer vacation; Still working as a security guard in the community during the summer vacation; During the winter vacation, I worked as a food delivery clerk in the catering department of four or five-star hotels, a waiter in a western restaurant and a porter in the housekeeping department. I hand out leaflets on the road at weekends. Speaking of handing out leaflets, I also experienced an interesting thing. I remember one time I handed out flyers for charity fund-raising. Of course, I didn't get paid. Just as I was doing it, an old woman came over. Somehow, she talked to me for half an hour. When she left, she also sent me a sentence: "Young man, if you don't do one thing well, you will learn this. You will cheat us old people and we will become smarter now." So was my heart at that time. In addition, there are many odds and ends of part-time jobs, so I won't mention them one by one. At the beginning, I went to work, on the one hand, to reduce the economic burden of my family; On the other hand, I want to increase my social experience and experience. However, before I went to teach, I would never have thought that the children there were "tired" than me, and they studied hard. In contrast, our college life is so relaxed and happy.
In life, you often see such a scene. On a busy street, a little girl of seven or eight years old knelt there, bowed her head and said hello to passers-by, looking very sympathetic. Every time I see those girls' clear eyes, I can't help thinking, what makes their lives so miserable, regardless of the secular vision? Still have to do this to survive. Maybe they are too young to understand other people's eyes and their inner feelings. In a word, how can you say that you are not the lucky person if you have not experienced such suffering personally? The personality forged in suffering must be brilliant; Brilliant personality, not necessarily suffering. The road to "casting people" is tortuous, just like the ideal world of Datong, but it will eventually come true.
"Helping students" is a good policy of the country, "building dreams" is my experience, and "educating people" is everyone's mission in China. The three complement each other and are indispensable. At this point, the dream is endless and the knowledge is endless. Let's walk in the ocean of knowledge with our dreams and sketch the great Chinese dream!
