Fengshi, my alma mater

" Huang Yu had mixed emotions when talking about his alma mater, Fengshi. This alma mater I was once proud of, this alma mater I have dreamed of countless times, this alma mater that has always cared for me in the depths of the years. Now I no longer have the courage to return to the original location of my alma mater. I can only look at the old calendar about Fengshi in silence and reminisce about that spiritual highland.

I was in high school entrance examination 23 years ago. I jumped out of the agricultural gate on the single-plank bridge and was lucky enough to become one of the few public-funded normal school students at that time. From then on, this school called "Shaanxi Fengxiang Normal School" became my well-known alma mater. The name "Fengxiang Normal University", like my hometown, pulls the strings of my longing.

At first, going to normal school and becoming a teacher? I never expected it. After completing the high school entrance examination, I filled out my application form and based on my own evaluation With high scores, I confidently applied for the best technical secondary schools at that time, such as Xi'an Electric Power School, etc. I dreamed of eating "lightly", making more money, honoring my parents, and living a city life, because at that time I was not a money worshiper. Our family's finances have reached the point where we can't make ends meet. Although we are young, we deeply feel the pressure of our parents' lives. I am secretly determined to pass the exam!

When I showed the drafted choices to my head teacher, the teacher said: "In your early admission application column, your first choice must be filled in with Shaanxi Province Fengxiang Normal School. ""Why? "I opened my eyes wide and looked at the teacher. The teacher said: "Our whole school is a normal school. "I don't want to be a teacher!" Why don't you discuss it with us? The teacher smiled and said: "Depending on your family's situation, it would be best to go to a normal school!" Going to normal school, you will get a living allowance, and you will get a job assignment after graduation. What a great thing! Besides, a girl has a stable and civilized job as a teacher, what else do you want? Melon woman! "I couldn't refute, but I still muttered in my heart. Many of the sweet dreams in my heart were extinguished at once.

Why is it that a provincial university is not located in Xi'an or Baoji, but is located on the Weibei Plateau? A county town? Questions linger in my mind. When I was a child, after cutting grass for the cows, I sat on the top of the mountain at sunset and looked at the straight horizon of the northern plateau of the Weihe River, which connected with the sky. It's Beishan. I wonder what is on the other side of the mountain. A few days after I received my high school entrance examination results, my teacher took me to Fengxiang Normal University for an interview. When the bus headed north from Caijiapo Station and climbed uphill on the winding road, I was amazed! There was an endless plain in front of me! As the car continued to go north, the terrain became increasingly flat. Beyond that, I could see the inaccessible horizon and the distinctive houses passing by. With those place names that have a strong sense of history, I found that Fengxiang has a profound history, and "Fengxiang Normal School" is by no means ordinary.

I became a part of Fengxiang Normal School without any doubt. student. My uncle sent me to register and helped me complete the registration procedures. Before leaving, he told me, "We are from a poor family, so don't dress in comparison with your classmates. Just be simple and clean. Eat affordable food, eat more steamed buns and pasta, and study hard." , resolutely opposed to romance; maintain a good relationship with classmates, do more practical work and talk less gossip..." I nodded and agreed, but the sadness in my heart spread quietly. Because when school started, my family couldn't even afford a thousand yuan. At that time, my second sister was also studying in a technical secondary school in another city. In addition, during those years, the family encountered unprecedented financial difficulties. During that summer vacation, I could clearly hear my father sighing all night long when he was sleeping next door. The future is not optimistic. To pay for my tuition, my father borrowed a thousand yuan and asked my uncle who had traveled far away to send me to Fengxiang. The registration fee was 150 yuan, plus accommodation fees, bed sheets, school uniforms, and meals. The ticket price was 840 yuan, and there was more than 100 yuan left. My uncle told me to live frugally. I held back my tears and sent my uncle away. I sat alone in Fengshi's botanical garden and watched with mixed emotions. The students got their wish and cheered, but I had to solve the problem of food and clothing first. For a shy and timid child, this was a huge challenge.

? Integrating into the life of Master Feng. And study comes after military training.

This is our art teacher who has buried the seeds of art deep in our hearts. Nowadays, those students who persist in their dreams are writing or painting, and their level is no less than professional level.

Among the students who studied overtime with us and memorized English under the street lights outside the classroom, some were admitted to doctoral programs and became professors at 211 and 985 key universities.

? And more students, like me, are the seeds that were sprinkled to their hometown. In every corner of Baoji, there is hidden growth and silent persistence. Stick to the basic education position in your hometown, work silently, and do your best to shine; stick to the ordinary and stick to our educational sentiments.

? A person's life is always influenced by love. I don't have the great love of Jianghe to strategize, I only have the small love of being attached to my homeland and based on my own duties. No matter what, I will always be one of the thousands of students in Fengshi. If the talents cultivated by Master Feng are as bright as stars, then I am also a star of Master Feng. Although it is not shining, we all have the same name - Master Feng!
