Anxiety about being promoted to junior high school

As a parent with only one child, this is the first and, fortunately, the last time I have experienced the transition from Beijing to Haidian to primary school.

I don’t know if the parents in our school district/school are too calm, or if my family is too Buddhist. If it hadn't been for the epidemic, we wouldn't have paid much attention to the promotion of primary school students to junior high school. Really, we have to thank the epidemic for making us realize that we need to start preparing for junior high school. But what to prepare? No clue.

Fortunately, I still had time to take the KET test, take the Hope Cup and Major League Exams, and worship the early training attached to the National People's Congress and the divine test system of the 80-year-old high school.

Other than that, it’s just writing a resume. Look for a beautiful template, one with a cover and a table of contents. The resume of an elementary school student is much more serious than the resume of me in my forties.

The most important thing is to study policies that are still unclear even after various studies. Join various groups for students getting promoted from junior high school to junior high school, pay attention to various information about getting promoted from junior high school to junior high school, and anxiously await this year’s policies.

In the group, there are constant reports of which school is organizing exams again, and which school is starting to collect resumes again, but it seems that we have never found the door. I just followed the trend and submitted information to several favorite schools. Then there is the long wait of silence.

Until the policy comes, fill in the application form, and then enter another silent period of waiting.

Until the system was opened at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, I had to send verification codes dozens of times, and watched various people in the group post their admission results. I felt unparalleled in anxiety. Finally, after I picked up my children and got home after five o'clock, I no longer had to log in to the system. I had already received a text message notification that the first group was not admitted.

The whole party is over. Those of us who have not won the big prize must continue to keep our eyes open and our ears open to all directions, and we will not let go of any possible information that is already very little, and strive to make up for the enrollment in the school. Seize the opportunity.

I believe we will have good luck in the end and be worthy of such suffering.
