Childhood growth experience
Since childhood, the economic situation is not good, and both parents make a living by farming. Planting more than ten acres of land in our home is our only source of income.
I remember that before the third grade of primary school, nine-year compulsory education had not been implemented. Even then, I had to pay tuition fees, and every time I started school, my family began to worry again.
At that time, tuition and books cost hundreds of dollars, and with the two of us, it cost thousands of dollars. This is a big problem in my family.
It's not good to catch up with the situation, because farmers have to rely on the weather to make a living. If God loses face, such as drought, flood and typhoon, then this year's harvest will be lost.
In 2005, when I was in the second grade. There is a big typhoon in our local area. All the crops were destroyed, and all the hard work in the second half of that year was ruined. So there is no money to pay tuition.
I was late for school for several days, and then the teacher came to see me.
But the family is also very poor. Dad searched all the cabinets in the house, but only found 500 yuan. That's not enough. Finally, dad decided to sell the most valuable pig in the family.
Originally, I expected to raise pigs in the second half of the year to sell more money to support my expenses, but in order to understand the urgent need and let my sister and I go to school, my father resolutely made this decision.
What impressed me deeply was that my father said something at that time. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor on tuition.
In this way, we can go to school smoothly under the concept that dad will provide for school no matter how poor he is. Later, a nine-year compulsory education system was implemented, which reduced a lot of burden on the family.
Perhaps children in the city have different childhood memories, because they wander between various interest classes and remedial classes in their spare time. However, in my childhood, I helped my family to do all kinds of farm work, herding cattle, feeding pigs and working in the fields with adults. Anyway, the life scene of rural people you can imagine is my whole life.
There are no interest classes, no novel toys and no online games. The only books I have read are two books borrowed from school. I don't know how many times I've borrowed it. It's an old and yellow Andersen fairy tale, a silver rope fable.
My childhood was basically spent in the fields and the old ox who grew up with me at home. I have been herding cattle since I was five years old. At that time, my strength was not as great as that of cattle. Although in most cases it was led by cows, they began to follow other children in the same village to pull the cows out.
Parents don't care if your homework is finished, they only care if the cows are full.
/kloc-at the age of 0/0, he has been proficient in picking corn, pulling peanuts, planting beans, transplanting rice and other farm work. Driving a tractor to cultivate land is also a routine operation.
At that time, there were few children in the village who loved learning, and I was in a similar state. However, compared with other children, I listen carefully, so at the end of each semester, I can also take several awards home! But I didn't know the importance of learning until I was in junior high school.
I know that for poor rural students like us, only by studying hard can we change our destiny!
Photos of grade one.
When school started in September, my family had just finished planting seedlings, and my father took my luggage to send me to the middle school in the town to report.
In such a township middle school, most children don't like studying very much. Many people are a little obedient when they are in the first grade, and they basically skip classes in the second grade, or sleep in class and go out to surf the Internet at night.
By the third grade, there will probably be fewer people in the class. Most of them have dropped out of school to go home or go to work. And I am one of the few obedient children. The class teacher is also very concerned. Although he was quite tall at that time, he was always in the first two rows.
In the first grade, there were more than 60 students in the class, all of whom were full. By the third day, the day the graduating class started, there were only 30 people in the class. Therefore, there is no need to be crowded on the road to success, because many people are eliminated on the way.
Thanks to our class teacher, he is really responsible for us. We have been instilled with the idea that rural children must study hard if they want to have a good future. Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by others all your life and you can only stay in the countryside. I have always kept this statement by the head teacher in mind.
Since I knew all kinds of hardships at home from an early age, it was not easy to know my parents', so I made up my mind to study hard.
As a result of hard work, junior high school students' three-year grades are among the best in the class, and they are firmly ranked in the top three in the class. It was no accident that I was admitted to a key high school in the county after the senior high school entrance examination.
In middle school, going home every weekend is also a way to help the family actively. The following photo shows me just coming home from a holiday, still wearing my school uniform, and before I could change my shoes, I took the cow out to plow the fields.
In middle school, I also like to read some extracurricular books in schools.
I remember reading a book called "Things in College" in junior high school. There are interesting and wonderful college stories in it, which also makes me full of yearning for college life.
At that time, my imaginary campus life was that after class, everyone was carrying schoolbags and riding bicycles and rushing to the next destination. On that bright afternoon, the school roads were covered with trees, and the whole campus was filled with the breath of learning and progress.
I am intoxicated by the fantasy of such a college campus life. In the blink of an eye, three years of junior high school is also very fast, and the senior high school entrance examination is in the blink of an eye. Three years of hard work didn't disappoint me. I was successfully admitted to the county key high school.
Study life in high school.
Later, I went to high school in the county, and the learning environment was relatively better. Because it is a key high school, those who can come are basically very fond of learning. There are also many rural students like me here.
Freshman photos.
At that time, I also met many like-minded partners, usually attending classes together and going to the canteen after class. Get along well in high school for three years.
The first one on the right is me. I was very young then.
The academic performance of the first year of high school is still good. There was no division of arts and sciences at that time. I am also good at liberal arts. Compared with mathematics, physical chemistry, I generally take the first and second place in geography and history. So the grades are generally in front of the class 10.
What I am not good at is physics, and mathematics is also a very headache for me. In fact, my liberal arts is still good, but I chose science when I was divided into liberal arts.
Because at that time, I heard many people say that learning liberal arts had no future, and science was king. And a few friends who had a good life at that time also chose science. So I think it's natural that I should also choose science.
However, after studying for a semester, I found that I was really not very good at math and physics. My first mid-term exam results came down, and my ranking dropped a lot, ranking more than 20 in my class.
I was desperate at that time, but since I chose all the choices, I had no choice but to learn. During the review period of senior three, although I worked hard, I still didn't master good learning methods, so my grades were not ideal.
I can only get a little points by Chinese and English. When I did the comprehensive paper, I still failed in physics.
Time flies, and finally it's the college entrance examination. Although at that time, I fantasized about taking the 985 2 1 1 key university every day. But the strength is not allowed, and I gradually recognize myself.
The banner was hung in our dormitory at that time.
Respect for facts, in any case, is the result of your own efforts. In this way, he entered the examination room with fearless momentum.
I got normal grades in Chinese and English, but I jumped in math. After the math exam that afternoon, the whole person was not good. Directly affect the play of combing your hair the next morning. As a result, I didn't grasp the time well and didn't have time to finish my thesis, which is a pity.
After two days of college entrance examination, I finally ended my high school life.
College life experience
The results came out, and the ideal of being admitted to 985 2 1 1 colleges and universities was shattered.
But as mentioned above, the college entrance examination failed, and the total score was still ten points short. At that time, I always wanted to study outside the province, and finally came to a second school in Zhejiang from Guangxi.
This is probably the sadness that ability is not worthy of ambition!
However, my parents still understand my feelings and don't talk too much and accuse me. Mom said, "Go and study if you are admitted.".
Then in August, I got the admission notice. Before September, the loan procedures were completed. Relying on the national student loan, I successfully embarked on a university trip.
1 train trip
I didn't have much experience and knowledge about volunteer service at that time. Many things are limited, so I chose my major at random. At that time, when I was filling in my major, I also chose many majors in science and engineering and machinery, and finally I was admitted to the major of material forming and control engineering!
After studying in this major for one year, in addition to some basic public courses, I will also learn some mechanical drawing and so on, and I usually have some mechanical training. I found that I was not interested in this major at all, and my employment was limited in the future. So I made up my mind at that time to change my major and learn what I like.
Mechanical drawings drawn at that time
It is not easy to make such a firm decision to change majors. Because you have studied in the original major for one year, the learning knowledge and interpersonal relationship you have established will be abandoned after you change your major.
I also worked as an intern in a factory when I was a freshman.
But if you don't like it, you just don't like it You can't cheat your heart. Although it is difficult to change your major at first, you should still be loyal to your inner decision.
I learned very early that our school will have the opportunity to change majors next semester. Near the end of the semester, I applied to the Academic Affairs Office. There was a girl who wanted to transfer to the same major as me. Later, for some reason, she did not succeed.
Finally, after some written tests and interviews, I successfully transferred to a new major. That is, the major I am currently studying (international economy and trade), although I don't like it very much, I don't hate it either.
It's quite comfortable later this year, that is, many professional courses are transferred to new majors to make up. So when I was a sophomore, my schedule was basically full. But after school, I also actively participate in some activities with my classmates.
University campus life
After changing majors, secondary colleges have also changed. Then the student union, clubs and the like I joined before have also changed a lot. I had to quit and didn't continue to join the student union.
This is also something I feel very sorry about, so there are not many opportunities to exercise myself. It is also very important that I have lost many possibilities of scoring in the comprehensive examination, so that many scholarships for promotion are basically not mine. Because there is no such work performance as student union in school and in-service class.
As we all know, in universities, the most important thing in awarding prizes is comprehensive test scores. In addition to good academic performance and poor performance, there are also various comprehensive qualities and abilities, which need to be assessed.
Knowing that there are no advantages and opportunities in this respect, I don't pay attention to the student union or the comprehensive test. But doing what you like and doing part-time jobs.
In this ordinary college life, I still often like to imagine and plan my future. Although sometimes I feel that I have lived a full life, I don't have much to bind.
But I often worry, why am I always so ordinary? There seems to be nothing outstanding.
No excellent professional skills, admirable communication skills, or even special skills. I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't play musical instruments, and I don't seem to have a talent I can get …
Sometimes I will sigh, living such a mediocre life in such an ordinary school, what will my future life be like?
There was a time when I regretted why it had become like this. Why don't you try to get into a good school? Outstanding performance in school.
I believe there will be many people with the same mentality as me, and I regret why I got into such an unsatisfactory school. Some people regret having spent four years in college.
Including some of my friends who are studying in junior college, they often feel inferior because they have a junior college degree, but I want to say that no matter how bad the university is, don't underestimate it.
The school is just a platform, and what kind of achievements you finally achieve depends on your own efforts. Even those college students admitted to 985 2 1 1 may skip classes, fail classes, fail grades, waste their time and live in fear.
But in junior college, you can also study hard to get scholarships, participate in various school competitions, and accumulate experience in various social activities.
Don't give up your efforts just because your school is low. Don't underestimate the progress and achievements made by an enterprising person in college. Otherwise, what you despise is not your university, but yourself.
Some people may say that some companies only need 985 2 1 1 students, and your college resume will be thrown into the trash.
Yes, it's true. But that's just some companies, and some excellent companies are still willing to give you the opportunity to exercise! Just like yourself, do you want to find gold in the sand, or do you just want to pick the brightest one among the gold piles?
Those who have been admitted to 985,265,438+065,438+0 stand out through their own efforts. Now they have more choices, which is understandable!

Although there is widespread academic discrimination in large companies like Fortune 500, there are also many small and medium-sized enterprises that need all kinds of talents. Isn't this our chance?
I have met many students who graduated from key universities. Due to poor working conditions or their own reasons, they frequently quit jobs and finally complained.
I have also seen many college graduates work hard as soon as they enter the unit, relying on their own ability to shine in their jobs, and finally earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
There are also some junior college students who wake up in the university, work hard, get promoted to the undergraduate course, take the postgraduate entrance examination, and finally enter a prestigious school and jump to a higher platform, realizing different values!
Therefore, the future of Mo Wen, you just have to work hard!
About part-time work experience
Tell me more about my part-time experience!
Come to Shenzhen and Guangzhou to work in winter and summer vacation to earn living expenses.
It was the first time that I came out to work as a summer vacation in high school. I came out with a suitcase. A stranger and no relatives and friends to help, I entered the electronics factory for a month.
20 16 was taken at dongguan electronics factory.
I went to Shenzhen during my freshman summer vacation. I have no connections and no resources. It was not easy to go at that time, and it was even harder to find a job. After many twists and turns, I finally found a job as a security guard. Have food and shelter, the salary is 3500 yuan a month, and insist on doing it for one month.
Later, I met a human resources brother who is also a security guard, and then I went to Shenzhen in my sophomore summer vacation. I contacted him, and then he usually introduced me to some part-time and temporary security guards.
Take the picture below as an example. At that time, star Qin Lan came to a shopping mall in Shenzhen to do activities. Then what I did was to pick up and drop off Qin Lan and keep the scene safe. This was the first time I saw a star at close range.
I worked as a security guard in Shenzhen during my sophomore summer vacation.
Here is a photo of Qin Lan at the event site, which I took myself. At that time, we were mainly responsible for her safety and order at the scene, and we could get close contact. Qin Lan is one of my favorite stars. I have to say that she is still very elegant and beautiful. But at that time, she didn't catch fire!
Then every day in Shenzhen, the crowded subway shuttles. Experience the hustle and bustle of big city life.
On the crowded subway, everyone's face is helpless. After all, it is forced by life. Although there are many sorrows, there are still many opportunities in big cities. People are also willing to develop in such a city.
This is life.

Most of my spare time and winter and summer vacations are spent on part-time jobs!
Of course, most part-time jobs are paid by selling my cheap labor.
Compared with many simple friends in it, they can easily achieve economic independence through writing in college, and some even bought their first suite. I'm ashamed.
Many people may think that if I were you, I wouldn't sell my cheap labor to get such a low salary.
But I had no choice. My family condition is not so superior. It is often poverty that strangles fate.
I also envy those classmates. When I had to find a job to earn living expenses during the winter and summer vacations, I was able to rely on my family relationship and was successfully arranged for internships in some enterprises and banks.
I also envy those people who can sit in the library and study with peace of mind when I am not doing part-time jobs or on the way to part-time jobs. Or people who can go to dinner, watch movies and have a good date on weekends.
But now, I won't think about these things and compare them. I just need to do what I want to do and be true to my heart.
My work experience can't add luster to my resume in the future, but it can give me material support when I am poorest.
Talk about regret.
1.
I didn't take part in club activities in college and didn't work in the student affairs office, which led to some regrets, such as not getting the opportunity to win awards and scholarships.
To this end, I also want to seize the opportunity to make up for some. For example, get a scholarship or get a promotion. So junior year starts, last semester.
There has been a shift change in my class. I want to seize this opportunity and run for monitor. However, due to various reasons, the election was not held in the end.
Maybe I don't pay much attention to the things in class at ordinary times. There are three people running for the monitor, and the old monitor also took part in the election, and the chance is slim. The final voting result is that I got 10, the old class leader got 19, and another student got 8 votes. I was unexpectedly defeated. Although I expected this result, I still want to thank the students in my class 10 for their support.
So what I want to say here is that if you want to make outstanding achievements in college, you will have more opportunities to join the party and get scholarships, that is, starting from the college entrance examination. Actively run for class cadres and join the student union.
Generally speaking, running for a class cadre is running for the position of monitor or communist youth league secretary. Then, if you join the student union, you should also be active and enthusiastic in your work performance, and strive for more opportunities for your future promotion as a minister and competition chairman.
In fact, this is not difficult, because most people are still muddling along, in order to get extra points in the comprehensive test. As long as you behave better, you will stand out.
Only in this way can we have more contact with teachers and counselors. Getting more favorable resources will help you improve yourself during your four-year college life.
Our monitor is such an example. Because he is a monitor and a minister of student affairs, he will have all kinds of resources, such as a subject competition and a job. If he has more contact with the teacher, it will definitely be the first thought of the teacher.
Then, when summing up the comprehensive test at the end of each semester, all other comprehensive qualities are added except academic performance, and he always pulls a big gap with others.
Some people may say that the experience of working in the student union department will not help the society in the future. Instead of wasting more time on it, do what you like.
But something is better than nothing. You can also write a few notes on your resume when you are looking for a job just after graduation. Really don't want to join the student union, but also find what you want to do, don't waste time!
Back to myself, although there is no chance to join the party through the selection of scholarships. But I can't give up trying for this. I also secretly made up my mind to take some exams. Then I passed Band 6, although it was a low score. I also got the qualification certificate of foreign trade voucher in this major, and I also got the second-class certificate of computer last semester.
Although in the eyes of many excellent people, this is not worth mentioning. But I can't deny my efforts.
Continue to refuel research.
2.
The second regret is that although I have always said that I want to travel to many places during my college years, there are only a handful of places I have visited until my junior year.
Every summer vacation is also spent in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The money earned is basically used as their own living expenses.
Sometimes I want to go to some places alone, take a good walk and think about it, but I think of my parents working at home, facing the loess and facing the sky. In an instant, I gave up the idea of being chic.
I think this is where our rural students are imprisoned. Thinking mode and money concept are restricted. I don't want to repeat them one by one. When I talk too much, it's tears.
Now's goal
Now in the third semester of junior year, I am faced with important choices in my life. Some people will choose to go out for employment directly, or take the postgraduate entrance examination for civil servants.
And I also have a new goal, that is, to be admitted to graduate school. Although the road is still very difficult, I will stick to it.
Give yourself a chance to relax after the postgraduate entrance examination. I have a small wish that I must travel to Tibet before graduation.
Now I am.
I am a junior.
Finally, sum up your feelings.
I want to write so much to sum up my 20 years.
I still remember an article I once read, "You can be ordinary, but you can't be mediocre, and people can never give up learning and progress".
Even if we struggle in our ordinary world every day, no one can deny our efforts, only we know the meaning of our efforts. I believe it will give us some feedback in the future.
Although I am ordinary, I sometimes feel that life is not satisfactory and that the world is not worth it. Envy others to live a prosperous life, but I am tired like a dog every day, wronged to death. I thought about it for a while myself, so why bother? You have worked hard to get it, but others can easily get it.
But now I understand that if I give up trying, I will do nothing. Then my mediocrity will not only be mediocrity, but mediocrity and degeneration.
Nowadays, I rarely go out for part-time jobs outside school, and I usually insist on going to the gym to exercise. Then I go to the library to study in my spare time.
Insist on fitness
Occasionally I have been exposed to some self-media platforms in my spare time. Although I haven't gained much, I can still learn a lot, including meeting like-minded friends. I still want to dabble in many aspects!
Youth is capital. You should try more while you are young! How do you know there is no chance until you try? I have nothing to lose, so what can I lose?
Then what I want to say to myself and you is that there are countless excellent people working hard every day in life. They have better conditions and stronger foundation than you. You have fallen behind others. What will your destination get if you don't try to catch up at this time?
Although we have lost at the starting point, life is a marathon, not a 100-meter race.
In the marathon, we often see that the person who sprints the hardest at the beginning will be exhausted in the last mile because of excessive physical exertion in the early stage, and finally be surpassed by other opponents and miss the medal.
So, how can you be sure that the final winner is not you? Life is long, you never know who will be more brilliant tomorrow.
Even if you see many people walking in front of you now, don't worry and don't lose heart. All you have to do is keep a firm pace, keep breathing smoothly and adjust your mentality. In this long marathon, set yourself a small goal at each stage.
When you accomplish every goal, give yourself some encouragement and believe that the final destination must have a place for you.
Write it at the end
I wrote this experience to record my journey before I was 22. The writing may not be so good, even a little in the diary, but I still want to share it. In this way, I encourage myself to live hard and not give up every more perfect self.
Maybe you are as poor as me; Learning has always been at an average level, and my brain is not very good; Will experience failure, all kinds of setbacks, sadness, sadness, depravity and so on. It doesn't matter, at least in the worst time of life, keep an optimistic heart.
Even ordinary people have their bright spots.
I hope we can live the life we want one day.
May we have good memories at the flower-like age.
? End!
