Dear Teacher Gu XX:
Hello!
My name is XX, and I am writing this letter today to introduce myself briefly.
To be honest, I am a different person. Others studied in college for 4 years, and I studied for 5 years. When others graduate, they have all three certificates (diploma, degree certificate and Band 4 certificate), and I only have two certificates (diploma+ID card); After others took part in the work, it was smooth sailing, but I became a laid-off worker of state-owned enterprises gloriously, and I failed many courses in my university report card. But if you look around me and listen to my heart, you will find that I haven't become a street hooligan yet, and I haven't had a nervous breakdown, which is a great achievement.
After entering the university, I lost my parents' expectation and caring eyes, but I felt inexplicably confused and pessimistic (please don't laugh at me for playing deeply). I don't know where my future and goals are, what I should do, what I live for, and what the meaning of life is. Trivial things in life, boring teaching contents in college, teachers' mechanical, inflexible speeches lacking passion and creativity, lifeless cultural performances and annoying student union cadres all make me very tired, which further deepens my feelings. Finally, I began to skip classes, watch videos and play games (especially computer games). At that time, my life and mood were simply terrible now. I have been warned by my relatives and friends, but I didn't listen. There are always some things that I didn't understand when I was young, and there are always some things that are too smart for you to predict. This is life. It was not until the year of graduation that I gradually woke up.
College students struggling under the cruel college entrance examination system in China are often regarded as favored children, but my college life is dark, which is a lonely, unsuccessful and humiliating history deeply hidden in my heart. But that doesn't mean that I didn't finish anything in college. At least I have walked into any video hall now and watched 80% of the films. In terms of games, I have developed a good skill. I played invincible online games all over the school during my school, and my reputation was very high. I think it's no exaggeration to give me a master's degree in games. I am good at flute in music and have caused a sensation ... all my success is learning.
1998 graduated in July and didn't go home (ashamed to go home), so he came to a strange northwest and went to the society alone. During my two years in state-owned enterprises, I experienced and witnessed a series of things that made me stunned, which made me have a more mature understanding of society, state-owned enterprises and countries, made my ideological understanding change profoundly, made me understand my direction of struggle, and finally pushed me to the road of postgraduate entrance examination. In the first month when we arrived at 148 factory, the leaders of the factory wisely decided to give each of our college students 1000 yuan as a settling-in allowance. We are deeply moved by this move, but it is conditional. We must withhold our diploma for five years. In desperation, we had to go to a factory near Jingmen, Hubei. The director received us warmly and asked about us. As long as you can cancel the contract with 148 factory, we will do everything here. In desperation, we went back to Shaanxi to negotiate with 148 factory to cancel the contract. Of course we refused, but fortunately, after all this trouble, the factory withdrew its decision to withhold the diploma, and the matter went away. But since then, I have been more impressed by the leaders in the factory.
After a period of hesitation, I made the biggest decision in my life, left the factory, and lived in Northwestern Polytechnical University in August 2000 1, and embarked on the road of postgraduate entrance examination. I lost my self-confidence in college and factory for many years, and now I get it back in my study. I think this is the most fulfilling period in my life, with hope and progress every day. A few days before the exam, my classmates asked me what to do if I failed. I said the result is not important. The important thing is that I went through the whole process and found myself. Just like life, it comes from the unknown world and eventually goes to the unknown world. If we look at this result, life is meaningless, but the meaning of life lies in this process, in which we can shine.
I often feel small and weak in my ability, and I was sad and desperate for it. But in the end, I walked out of the bottom of my life and found new hope. I also knew that I had no background and no money, and everything had to be realized by my own sweat. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will fight for it.
My score in the exam is not high. I was not a computer major before, and I may not be as good as many other candidates. But I have experienced ups and downs in my life, with great sadness and joy, and found hope from despair. I believe I know better than many other candidates why I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, why I want to go to graduate school and why I want to live in this world!
Enclosed please find my resume, imploring Mr. Gu to give me a chance and not to drive me away.
Thank you very much, Mr. Gu, for reading my letter in your busy schedule. I wish you the best of health!
Note: this is not for ordinary candidates, but for on-the-job self-study exams. But the spirit inside is the same. Writing about one's own struggle experience, feelings about postgraduate entrance examination and even understanding of life will attract the attention of the tutor. Don't always introduce your study. Those who can be admitted to graduate school are all good. Then, the awards and transcripts during the university period are presented to the teacher in a separate table, which is clear at a glance.
The most important thing is to visit the tutor in person, get acquainted and leave a good impression on the tutor. Some tutors like to receive gifts. Take care of this yourself, I hope it will help you.
