Postgraduate entrance examination is not afraid of jokes.

From junior college students to graduate students, I have changed more than just my academic qualifications.

In the scorching September of 2009, I took a nearly 50-hour train ride from a small county in Inner Mongolia to Kaili, a small town in Guizhou.

I didn't know that I would stay here for five years.

My first impression of Carey was not good, even a little bad. The shabby railway station, the vast crowd, the incomprehensible dialect and the strange faces wearing national costumes all made me panic. My family doesn't approve of me, the only child, who has traveled thousands of miles to go to school in a strange place. It is my stubborn insistence that I will never repeat it. Because I know that with my grades, even if I repeat one year, I will not be admitted to the undergraduate course. I am too eager to live in an ivory tower, and I am too conceited when I am young and frivolous. I firmly believe that my education has no influence on me. In fact, now that I think about it, this kind of rhetoric is nothing but a cover-up. Because only from that height can you evaluate the event itself. Just like the phrase "reading is useless", only those who read a lot can qualify; And if you can't read, saying that reading is useless, others will only laugh at you, saying that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.

But I came anyway, because I had no way out.

In a sixth-tier city, two colleges study junior college. It seems that my future is bleak.

The world is actually very realistic, and your academic qualifications often represent your level. It is a necessary stepping stone, because there is such a thing as ability. And if you throw away a 985 diploma, the situation is absolutely different, which will directly prove that you have at least better learning ability. Although education is never the only proof of ability, I have to admit that it is the most direct proof.

Began a three-year college career. I have to say, I had a good time. Leaving home for the first time, leaving the monotonous high school life; Living in a dormitory for the first time; Being exposed to various campus activities for the first time is undoubtedly new. At that time, I was seventeen or eighteen, and I didn't think about the future and future. Living day by day, I feel like a duck to water when dealing with various community and class activities.

At the end of the sophomore semester, there is an examination for junior college students organized by the province, which is called "mid-term selection". As long as you pass, you can directly enter the undergraduate class and hold the same diploma as the undergraduate after graduation. However, this quota is very small, and it is also a real sword learning ability. Of course, I will fail without any suspense.

But from the bottom of my heart, I envy the two outstanding students who have been admitted to our class.

Fate takes care of me. In April, when my junior year was about to graduate, the province reformed the "mid-term selection" and changed it to "junior college". In this way, we became the first batch of college students in the year of graduation, and I had another chance.

I know, I must catch it this time. Because this opportunity is given by heaven, if it is lost, it will never happen again.

I did it.

After two months of hard study, I am looking forward to the admission notice in August 20 12.

Today, I still feel that 20 12 is the year of my rebirth; June 7th of that year, that is, the day when I took the exam on the same day as the college entrance examination, was the day when I was born again.

This is a kind of self-recognition. Encouraged by the sense of accomplishment, you will feel that you are not so bad, but you can do it yourself.

But at that time, the postgraduate entrance examination was still too far away from me.

When I was a junior college student, I never thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination. This is an idiotic dream. Not to mention that many schools don't accept college degrees at all, even if they do, they have to do it again. I know I'm not the material, so I never dream.

After I was admitted to the undergraduate course, I felt very relaxed, as if my ultimate goal had been achieved. I'm satisfied with the status quo, and I didn't want to move on. I have never been an ambitious person.

But at that time, I was in love.

The object is the seniors of our college, one level higher than me, undergraduate. He was admitted to graduate school in the year of my college entrance examination.

When I was a junior college student, he was an undergraduate; When I was an undergraduate, he went to graduate school.

I have no intention of following in his footsteps, but I don't want to lose my love.

But the two places are far apart, and I only have one person to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

I don't want to repeat all the hardships of preparing for the exam, because I am suspected of selling bitterness. But in fact, when you really want to achieve a goal from the heart, you won't feel much pain at all. Eager expectations and persistent beliefs will turn into a steady stream of motivation, so that you can still have joy on the lonely road of chasing dreams.

More importantly, from junior college students to graduate students, I have changed more than just my academic qualifications.

First, broaden your horizons.

Just like a hungry man, he just wants to eat something, but a full man wants to eat more delicious. A person's vision is limited by the pattern. Cicadas don't know the snow, thinking that the world is only in autumn. I used to think that universities are like this, but later I found that universities are not just like this. I remember a teacher once said that if you want to meet a better person, you must strive to be a better person. Because only standing at that height, there is the possibility of contact. Only by rising to a different platform can we have a different vision.

After I came to Nanjing for postgraduate study, I deeply understood this truth. When one high-quality lecture after another came one after another, when the school organized us to go to Nanjing Hall to listen to Qian Xuesen's son's lecture, and when I came to another city as a senior who successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination to share my experiences with my younger brothers and sisters, I knew that these were all new levels that I unlocked after my graduate study. Before that, it was out of reach.

Then rebuild confidence.

I have to say that a sense of accomplishment is the only rule that drives people to forge ahead, and people need to be encouraged. When I changed from a junior college student to a graduate student that I never dared to imagine, when I came to Jinling, a bustling city, I vaguely felt' understand, I can do it, too. Looking back on 2009 from 20 16, how many times did you feel incredible? How did I get here step by step? Although the graduate school is not 985 or 2 1 1, it is just a school, but I am still very satisfied. Because I know that I didn't even dare to enter an undergraduate college before, and now I can study in a new university, which is a blessing. More importantly, once I encounter problems, I will shrink back and think "I can't". Now, I can calmly say "I will try". This kind of change cannot be learned with money.

Not everyone has the courage to start over after losing everything. Maybe more people are collapsed. And if you work harder, the outcome will be very different. Therefore, the rebuilding of confidence is also a valuable wealth accumulated along the way.

Chalmers said: We started with confusion and finally reached a higher level of confusion. In my opinion, we started with dissatisfaction and finally reached a higher level of dissatisfaction. It is this endless pursuit that can make us better. At present, I still feel very inferior, because in the graduate camp, I am just a graduate student in an ordinary school. When I meet many famous classmates, I still have undeniable envy. But I'm not afraid anymore. Because I know that I have surpassed myself now, and I will surpass myself now to meet better opportunities in the future.

During the seven years from 2009 to 2065438+06, I changed not only my education, but also my attitude and spirit.

I hope we can all meet better ourselves.
