Wang, an overtime student in Grade 09 of Shandong University.
I am not a person who likes cramming education. I like to think independently and I like all kinds of imaginative ideas. I never think that the college entrance examination is the only way to change my life.
2009 is particularly clear and profound in my memory. This year, my college entrance examination results are not ideal. Although the economic conditions at home are not very good, parents also want to find ways to study abroad before the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, my family inquired through relatives and friends, inquired and compared through the Internet, and after many comparisons and choices, I was taken by my mother to board the train from Chengdu to Jinan, all the way to Qilu Software College of Shandong University to work overtime. The overtime teachers of Shandong University had a full communication with us, which made me see a new dawn. After full discussion with my family, I decided to sign up.
It's really the first time for me to leave home and come here. During my two years of working overtime in Shanda Middle School, my mentality has changed a lot. Teachers who work overtime in middle schools are very strict with their students and their teaching is also very serious. I abandoned my previous impetuousness and took the initiative to study and live. Say to yourself every day: "I must study hard and cherish this opportunity to enter the world's top 500 universities!" " "In the past two years, I have studied hard and have been moving towards the goal of becoming more and more clear in my heart. Working overtime in a university, I learned time management and self-discipline management, and made rapid progress with the help of teachers.
20 10, successfully entered the world ranking 106 of university of alberta. After arriving in Canada, I chose to live in a foreigner's home, which is far from school. It takes a lot of effort to transfer buses twice a day to get to school. Compared with Jinan, my city is much quieter, and people have cars, so the bus industry in the city is naturally less developed than ours. Therefore, there is only one bus terminal in the whole city, which runs every half hour in the city center. In other words, I have to take a bus to the city center first, and then transfer to another school. It's so bumpy every day It's winter again and it's snowing all over the sky. At first, I was surprised by the snow scene in Canada, but later I hated the never-ending snow. When you go out in the morning, you will feel an icicle-like knot from your nostrils to your nose as soon as you inhale gently. Although studying abroad is very hard, it is good to have a group of like-minded classmates and alumni here. I am glad that I chose Shanda Middle School to work overtime. I made friends with my respected teachers and warm-hearted friends here. These are my rich and precious human resources! Although the results of the college entrance examination are not ideal, it is a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, I chose to work overtime in Shanda Middle School and seized the opportunity to grow and develop again in my life!
Through the transition and growth of working overtime for two years in Shanda University, in university of alberta, in just two years, I successfully obtained a bachelor's degree in economics, and obtained economics from University of Toronto, University of Hong Kong and McGill University respectively.
Letter of acceptance for master's degree in economics at university. Based on my good time management, self-discipline management and self-study ability cultivated by working overtime in Shanda Middle School, it took me only one year to complete the two-year master's course in economics.
After studying at home and abroad, I understand that no matter what the starting point of life is, we should grasp the present moment at any time, set a goal, stick to it and be sure to succeed! This year's college entrance examination, I recommended the overtime work of Shanda Middle School to my cousin. I hope she, like me, will seize the opportunity, win at the starting line of studying abroad and reap the wonderful life!
