A milestone in life—undergraduate graduation

In April last year, I took the self-study exam for the undergraduate certificate for eight years, and finally completed all the exams. After the final thesis defense, I successfully applied for Zhengzhou University’s undergraduate degree.

I went to get my diploma today. After I got it, I wasn’t as excited as I thought, but I was still very happy. I feel happy to let go.

I remember that I took the exam for the first time in October 2012. After the exam, I accidentally discovered that I was pregnant...

I felt mixed emotions. After thinking about it, I decided to continue taking the exam. I didn’t go to work during my pregnancy, and I didn’t take the exam twice because I was in my third trimester and the baby was too young.

Since it is a record, I think I must write down the exam experience that impressed me the most.

It must have been April 2014. My son was still young and had not been weaned. I wanted to take the exam in another place, so I had to take the child with me. Of course, my husband also went with me, and we took a long distance ride. The car ride lasted 7 hours. When we arrived in Gushi, it started raining heavily. The rain was so heavy that an umbrella could hardly hold it. My husband and I tried our best to protect our son from getting wet. We quickly arrived at the hotel we had booked in advance and returned. When I arrived at the hotel, I sighed, it’s not easy. I had to bring my whole family with me for the exam, haha. But I didn’t think it was that difficult at the time. Thinking about it now, I still feel happy and happy because it was an experience and an unforgettable life experience. It is an experience that we can recount to each other when we grow old.

When I was a child, I was ignorant, so I dropped out of school early and went out to work. After working for a few years, I did everything, including a gas station worker, a restaurant waiter, a clothing shopping guide, and an electronics factory assembly worker. , I felt that it was not the life I wanted, so I decided to go to school in Zhengzhou! My parents were very supportive of me, and my family's conditions allowed, so I came to Zhengzhou smoothly. Unexpectedly, this place would change the trajectory of my future life. With him, I have a home and a cute and smart baby. We have taken root in Zhengzhou.

The more I experienced, the more I realized the importance of academic qualifications, and the more I thought it was always good to learn more. So I applied for the self-study exam at Zhengzhou University with my best friend. Unexpectedly, I was the one who persisted on my own in the end. Come on, everyone may laugh when I tell you. It’s a self-study exam that took eight years to catch up with the eight-year war of resistance. Hahaha

No matter what, this result is what I want and is a milestone in my life. , making up for the regret of not going to college when I was young!

Congratulations to myself!
