If you ask me, what is the most impressive thing in my four years of college life? I will tell you that it was August 31, 2010 - the first day of my college life. What I remember most is not the prosperity of the imperial capital of Beijing that I saw that day, nor the novelty and excitement about college life, but my dad and I walking on the street near the school, looking for a place to stay from house to house.
I remember when I heard the boss say that the cheapest single room was 120 yuan a night, my dad was shocked and whispered: We can stay there for 20 yuan a night, which is about the same. I know that after giving me living expenses, my father will not even have 300 yuan in his pocket, and the bus fare home will cost more than 100 yuan.
I walked over and over in several nearby streets until night fell and the street lights and car lights came on, but my dad still had no where to live. He told me to go back to school first. He was very "chic" and said that I would definitely find it. At worst, I would take the bus back to the train station and stay overnight. I was anxious and scared. I even thought that my father was going to live on the street, but I couldn't do anything to help him. She just hummed softly, and if she said one more word in front of him, the tears that had been endured to the extreme would probably no longer be able to be held back. Not wanting him to see it, I immediately turned around and left, and then my vision became blurry.
On the first day of college, I was deeply aware of the helpless struggle and shame of "poverty" in this big city. It made me feel uncomfortable for a long time after entering college. I feel so lost and trapped in low self-esteem.
I still remember that my face turned red when I learned that I was the only one in the class who took out a loan to go to school. When the classmates around me took out their own Samsung and Apple mobile phones, I was so ashamed to take out the hundreds of yuan copycat mobile phones I bought at home after the college entrance examination. When my roommate bought a piece of clothing that cost more than a thousand dollars, I couldn't help but marvel. My mother only earns 30 yuan a day at home, and she can’t afford such a piece of clothing even if she earns a month’s salary. I don't dare to go shopping with them, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt. I dare not take the initiative to talk to them about my family. I avoid words involving "rural area" and "poverty." I don't even use low-end and rustic-sounding terms like "main house" and "grandma". I learn how to use them instead.
"Living Room" and "Grandma" in the city.
At that time, I was so cautious and sensitive. I feel like a snail, carrying a heavy shell every day, overwhelmed by poverty and low self-esteem, and living a very tired life. The so-called self-esteem is more like crumpled up waste paper and thrown into the trash can.
In the second semester of my freshman year, in order to earn living expenses, I went to work in a barbecue restaurant near the school. One day when I was serving food to a customer, I discovered that they were several classmates. At that time, I felt very embarrassed and laughed sheepishly. But they were very natural and even joked: Do students get a discount when they come? At that moment, I could feel a kind of sincere concern from them, and I felt warm in my heart.
I thought they would look down on me because I am from a rural area, and disdain to associate with me because my family is poor. I thought maybe all the "look down" and "discrimination" were just me. Fictional. And all the efforts to cover up are just making oneself more humble.
Slowly, I began to try to open my heart and learn to truly integrate into this group and this school. I told them that I was the child of an unexpected child. When I was young, I liked to catch fish in the river with my brother, and I often competed with my sister for cats. I would often clean the dormitory, get up early to bring breakfast to my roommate, and my roommate would spend time with me. On their birthdays, they said that I was the person they met in this life who was worth getting to know; classmates in the class called my name to cheer me on during the mixed basketball game; everyone even went to the Guangyuan Spring game to boo.
Now, four years of undergraduate studies have passed. In the past four years, I have worked as a work-study student on campus and part-time outside of campus, and have been receiving scholarships, which has reduced the burden of living on my family. Looking back on my life in Guangyuan, I may not have done much, but when I recount some of my experiences, I am still pleased with my growth and maturity.
During the winter vacation of my freshman year, I went to Nanyang with my classmates from Henan to support teaching. I felt sorry for the children there whose hands were so cold that their hands were cracked and pus leaked, but they were so eager for the city. When I went to Tongzhou nursing home to volunteer, the old people talked about it. Talk about admiration for me; in my junior year, when I was investigating the current situation of homeless people in Beijing with my classmates and filming a feature film on pneumoconiosis patients, I saw those people who were really struggling for survival at the bottom, and I felt deeply that my own power was weak; every week I always go to an old man who is over 100 years old in Ximen to buy a pair of 4 yuan insoles. The stubborn old man refuses to accept charity from others, so I have no choice but to maintain his dignity in this way.
When I was at home, my dad often told me about the word that has been passed down in our family - "Yishun is the foundation". My father is a "righteous" generation. Back then, for the sake of his grandfather who was injured in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he gave up the opportunity to serve as a soldier and stayed in the countryside all his life. My father’s “righteousness” and “shunness” in his conduct and work had a great influence on me. When I applied for a major in the college entrance examination, I was determined to apply for journalism because I felt that journalists can help others.
Due to my excellent academic performance during college and my overall ranking in the major in comprehensive evaluation, I was successfully admitted to the graduate school of our school in the first semester of my senior year. I still remember that the day after I found out the admission notice, I called home. My mother was very happy, just like when I was admitted to college. When asked about her father's condition, she said in an understatement on the phone that he was injured half a month ago. I suddenly remembered that during the college entrance examination, my father’s leg was pierced by a wooden stick and he lay on the bed for a month, and they didn’t hide it from me. Without telling my parents, I bought a ticket that night and stood all night. When I got home the next day, I found out that my dad accidentally got his leg stuck in the tricycle while he was driving a tricycle to collect grains and needed eight stitches. On the day he got home, he actually got out of bed and went out to work again. I even dared not look at his legs. They were as dark and thin as two sticks of firewood and covered with large and small scars. Mom always says that dad’s meat is “dog meat” and can be tolerated as long as you like. I joked that if my father was born during the war, he would definitely be a hero.
The night before we left home, my mother and I were making dumplings in the main room, while my father turned on the TV alone in the room and fell asleep from exhaustion. My mother and I chatted and said that I would save money and when I graduate, I would definitely let them come to Beijing to have a good look. Mom smiled, but then a troubled expression appeared on her face: "We are from the countryside, wouldn't it be good if your classmates saw it?" I protested: What’s wrong with the rural people? We rural people are simple and capable, no worse than others. Mom smiled again and nodded slightly.
In May of this year, one month before graduation, I fulfilled my "promise" and brought my mother and sister to Beijing. But dad couldn't come because he insisted on staying at home and looking after the door. That day I wrote in my circle of friends: Being able to watch movies, drink milk tea, and enjoy the scenery with my family in Beijing is so precious to me. It has truly fulfilled a wish I have had for the past four years.
Now I am a graduate student. It has been two months since I enrolled, but all the things before graduation are still clearly visible, including my trip to Japan in the first half of this year. After passing the interview with Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), I went to Tokyo, Japan, for a twelve-day publicly funded training program at the end of February this year. Although it was less than two weeks, it was a great inspiration to me and it opened another door beyond my horizons. I used to think that going abroad was only for the rich, but now I firmly believe that I can continue to open up a broader world of my own. By then, I will take my parents with me so that they can truly experience the feeling of flying for the first time and going abroad for the first time.
I remembered a story about a snail that I heard before. The little snail said: We are so pitiful, neither the sky nor the earth protects us. The snail mother comforted him: So we have a shell! We don’t rely on the sky or the earth, we rely on ourselves.
Now I am willing to be a snail and continue to climb up step by step with this "shell" on my back. On the way forward, I will let the wind dry my tears and sweat. One day, I will You will have your own sky. Under this sky, I can protect my family, defend my dreams, and deliver hope to others.
Essay Two to Help Students Build Dreams and Inspiring Talents
We can’t choose our origins, but we can choose to fight for a bright future through struggle; we can’t choose our situation, but we can choose Face the challenges of destiny with an optimistic attitude. ——Inscription
On the rooster-like territory of China, my hometown is located on the high chicken head. The lush Changbai Mountain is rich in forest and mineral resources, and the long flowing Yalu River irrigates the fertile black soil. However, what impressed me most was the snow and ice flying in my hometown in winter and the biting cold wind.
The winter climate in the north is not suitable for working outdoors. My father's workplace takes nearly two months off during the winter. In order to support the family, my father had to ride a motorcycle to work in a small factory about 500 kilometers away from home. On the way, the biting north wind howled into his collar, and the thin ice under the snow always hid danger. Father-in-law the sun is always lazy in winter, and it is already dark outside the window at only six o'clock. I sat by the stove and looked towards the door anxiously waiting for my father to come home. When I heard the sound of the motorcycle, I ran out as quickly as possible. When my father saw me, he picked me up lovingly. I gently swept the snow off his shoulders with my hands.
In 2006, the factory where her mother worked closed down due to poor profitability, and she became one of hundreds of laid-off female workers. The factory they once devoted all their youth to is now in ruins. Those hands that have become rough from working day and night cannot get back the hard-earned money from work.
From then on, the only meager income the family had was my father’s monthly salary of about 1,000 yuan. The father is the breadwinner of the family. The burden of life has made him stooped at a height of 1.73 meters, and his hair has turned gray in his forties. Because he has been engaged in physical labor for a long time, his father has suffered from various illnesses all year round. He looks much older than his peers, and my heart aches every time I hear others call him "Old Man Zhang." My father spent his youth in exchange for my daily growth. How I wish time could slow down a bit, how I wish the traces of time would not leave deep wrinkles on his forehead.
My father has been a worker all his life, and I am his only pride. After the college entrance examination results came out, he didn't scold me, but simply said, "Girl, it doesn't matter where you study well. Heroes don't ask where they come from." I suddenly remembered that in junior high school, I ranked first in the class and begged my father to take me there. Watch the ocean show. I stood at the door of the Ocean Theater and saw my father asking at the box office for a long time. He turned his head to look at me from time to time. When my father came back, he only had a ticket in his hand and said to me: "I'll wait for you here. You can go in and watch the ocean show." I reached out and took the ticket, and turned to look at him while walking inside. When I was a child, I was always not sensible enough to appreciate the heat of my father waiting under the scorching sun. I walked around inside for a full four hours before I came out. I saw my father squatting on the stone steps in front of the theater from a distance, and I began to feel sad. I secretly told myself that I must take my father to watch an ocean show in the future. The little heart may have wanted to become strong since then.
Expensive college tuition makes families who are not already wealthy even more stretched. Poverty is like a huge spider web entrenched in every corner of the home. I learned about matters related to national student loans from the Student Financial Aid Management Center. With the help of my leaders and teachers, I successfully applied for a student loan, which fulfilled a poor student's college dream. In September I finally boarded the train heading south, surrounded by crowds of people and noisy sounds. I secretly looked through the window at my father who was seeing me off. His eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and his gray hair was disheveled by the wind. I turned my head and heard in my ears my father’s instructions before leaving, “Eat well and study hard.”
Southern towns are always gentle and pleasant, and there are moist and dense water droplets in the air. The streets are lined with tall camphor trees. I started a new journey of growth on the beautiful university campus. In my spare time at university, I read all kinds of books. From Red Mansions poetry to classical music appreciation, from marketing strategy to legal finance... they are my window to a colorful world. Through extensive research, I also began to stand out in major composition competitions.
From department-level reading essay contests to school-level writing contests to national college student essay contests, I have achieved excellent results. I also work as an interview editor in the school magazine "Discovery", and my articles have been published in it many times. Whenever I tell my parents the good news, they always cheer for me and tell me to stop being arrogant and keep working hard. I just continued on the road with my parents' expectations in mind.
When I was a freshman, I joined the student union and the "Speech and Eloquence" club to hone my abilities. On the one hand, we assist teachers with work matters, and on the other hand, we help students solve problems in their study and life. Whenever I have heavy tasks, I always have to stay up late at night, but I still feel that everything I am doing now is worth it. I also actively plan and participate in various activities in the class. The lively dancing aerobics competition, the majestic poetry recitation, the sweaty sports meeting... These wonderful scenes are all treasured by me in the memory album of my youth.
The sound of my reading can be heard loudly by the Yixin Lake in the early morning, and the orange street lights bear witness to my return from self-study every night. In class, I always sit in the first row closest to the podium, and my thick notebook records my bits and pieces of knowledge accumulation. As the ancient saying goes: "No pain, no gain." During my time at school, I won many school-level scholarships for outstanding students. After understanding my family situation, the school leaders and teachers gave me the national scholarship. The care and concern of my teachers and classmates made me feel that the university was my other hometown. It is with this gratitude that I always hope that I can continue to pass on the love through my own actions.
When I was a sophomore in college, I went to a remote rural primary school as a volunteer to teach, and saw more than a dozen children reading text in a simple adobe house. I noticed on the windowsill that there was a container cut out of a mineral water bottle filled with thick black soil. Then he quietly asked a little girl next to him with braids what it was. She blinked happily and said, "That's the sleeping morning glory." When giving the gift, I specially gave the little girl a box of watercolor pens. Before leaving, I whispered in her ear: "When Morning Glory wakes up, draw it and send it to my sister. Tell me what color clothes it is wearing."
State's role in family The financial aid policy for students with financial difficulties gave me the opportunity to receive higher education, and it gave those of us at the grassroots of society the opportunity to become the country's elite. I have always hoped to become a useful person to society and the country after graduating from college. For me, being a journalist is probably the best way.
I still remember the first class in college when the teacher told us that a reporter is a snow plow. All kinds of chaotic things will cover up the world. Only by removing the false and preserving the true can we show the real world. It is with this belief that I feel infinite pride as a reserve reporter. "First of all, you are a person, and then you are a reporter." When Chen Fei warned Chai Jing in a stern tone, I also neatly transcribed this sentence on the title page of my notebook as a spur to myself. .
I think the reason why the journalist profession shines is because it declares that "care for society is higher than caring for individuals." Journalism majors not only need to learn a lot of basic news knowledge, but more importantly, have a fraternity. Humanistic feelings.
“Iron shoulders carry moral principles, and clever hands write articles.” We need to practice it with our lives. Being a reporter may mean a meager income and endless travel, but I am willing to devote myself to it and be a migratory bird without feet, constantly flying, lurking at the bottom of society and becoming a speck of dust. This society needs a group of people to be the public voice to speak out about injustice and darkness. As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Dare to face the bleak life, dare to look directly at the dripping blood." Be a candle of light that illuminates the darkness, a sword of justice that pierces the powerful, and a strong shield that protects the weak. We never expect to be the heroes of the times, but we must always measure ourselves by the standards of heroes. I have been working hard to become a qualified journalist.
Liu Yuanyuan, a talented woman from Peking University, once said in her speech: "You have to believe that fate gives you a lower starting point than others, hoping that you will use your life to strive for a story of a desperate counterattack.
"Let us become the masters of our destiny, run in the direction of our dreams, and strive for our own youth without regrets!

National student aid policy Funding must encourage college students to learn to be grateful. Funding conveys the country’s sense of responsibility and society’s sense of morality. It not only benefits young poor college students materially, but also requires them to gradually understand the spiritual essence it contains - young poor college students must have a strong attitude of gratitude, a strong sense of social responsibility and a high degree of social morality. Only by making them realize, persist in and pass on this spiritual essence can they shape themselves, influence others and contribute to society.

If the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are prosperous, the country will be prosperous.

As poor students, we should face the reality calmly, look rationally at what others have, be confident and self-reliant, strive for self-improvement, and win the respect of classmates, teachers and society with our own abilities.

However, we should clearly realize that this hard-won funding does not give us a lifetime of support, but a temporary support. It is not a ladder to a happy world, but a motivation for us to work hard. It is not a clear sky. The blue sky is the wings that allow us to fight against the wind and rain!
