This university has been benefiting from its funding system for four years. Li entered the work-study program team from the beginning of his freshman year, and he was proactive and responsible. After several positions of training, he grew from an ordinary team member to the captain of the school work-study program brigade. Work-study program not only provided him with opportunities for self-reliance, but also greatly exercised his personal ability and cultivated a strong sense of responsibility and gratitude.
Li gets a scholarship every year, which not only lightens his financial burden, but also promotes his continuous progress. He studied very hard and won many university scholarships. When talking about his future career plan, he said that he would go to work in the west after finishing his studies. "When I was growing up, many people helped me. I want to repay the society and others with my own actions. Gratitude is my responsibility. " Li said to him.

He compared the distribution of energy to a battle. Only by concentrating superior forces to attack a certain place can the odds of winning be greatly increased.

Show the class spirit, prepare the students' review materials, conduct internal inspection in Grade 09, and take time to review ... Yingmingjian summoned up the courage to ask the teacher to resign. At that time, his heart was full of contradictions. Walking out of the office, he stood outside and thought for a long time. "Just give up?" Why not insist? "An hour later, he returned to the office and continued to serve as the deputy battalion commander. This experience will never be forgotten by Yingmingjian.
Smart people who grow up in single-parent families can face difficulties bravely every time. He warned his schoolmates that people should have clear goals, whether short-term goals or medium-and long-term goals. People who have no goals will bump like headless flies. (Reporter Hao Na Qiu Ganmou)
