This year, there is a 29-year-old boy on the enrollment list of the 20 18 college entrance examination in Anhui Province. Who is he? Why did you decide to return to the college entrance examination when you were about to stand up?
Things should start from ten years ago.
At that time, Xu, who was born in a rural family in Bozhou City, Anhui Province, was only 19 years old and was taking the college entrance examination for the first time in his life. He got good grades at that time and could have been admitted to the university. However, because of his youthful spirit and dissatisfaction with the education system at that time, he did not answer questions in the exam, but wrote his own education declaration.
Not surprisingly, Xu didn't go to college that year. After more than ten years, he worked around to make money and tasted the hardships of life before regretting what he missed on impulse.
During the ten years of working in the field, Xu changed one job after another because he didn't have academic qualifications and skills. And most of the work is manual, which is very hard.
Xu said that when he works in a factory, he needs to get up at 7 o'clock every day, and his working hours are 10 hour. Sometimes it's harder to work overtime. Sometimes you can't take a day off for months, so you have to deduct money for leave.
Today, Xu decided to return to the college entrance examination room to make up for the mistakes he made on impulse. At present, I am actively preparing for the exam, hoping to be admitted to junior college and have the opportunity to continue my studies in the future.
Indeed, although the college entrance examination has expanded in recent years, college students are not as popular as before, and they always face the embarrassment of low wages and difficult employment. But without a university and a diploma, life will only be more difficult.
Xu's experience reminds me of my part-time job in an electronics factory in college. It was winter vacation, and my classmates and I signed up for an electronics factory to make money.
At that time, the people who recruited us fooled us. The work was easy and there was no difficulty. We got paid at the end of the month. We believed it.
Later, I really went to the factory to know that it was really super hard to stand by and watch the assembly line all day. The factory where we stay is a place that produces all kinds of electronic product accessories. Students hammer nails all day, and I grind the burrs of plastic shells all day, feeling that my hands are not my own.
Even if the work is tired, the agreed accommodation has become barely adequate food and clothing, and the agreed ten-hour working hours have become a lie.
At that time, we went to work after 7: 30 in the morning and then got off work at 7: 30 in the evening. Except for more than ten minutes of lunch time, we are all working.
Later, we persisted for a day and left without asking for salary. But after this incident, we really realized that life in the factory was not easy.
However, you can still go to college when you go back, and there is still a way out in life. Can children as old as us who have dropped out of school? They may have to put up with it.
In a blink of an eye, I have graduated now, and my job search is relatively smooth. Although the income is not high, some people can sit in the office without wind or rain, and they don't have to work hard to make money.
Maybe this is what a college degree can bring us. Although the diploma is a piece of paper, without it, we can't even step into the threshold of office white-collar life.
Because almost all companies recruit now, the minimum is a college degree, and few companies want someone who has never been to college.
Therefore, I often warn my sister who is still in high school that even if she doesn't study well and can't get into the undergraduate course, she should insist on finishing high school before going to college.
Although reading is not necessarily a better way to get along, it is definitely a more relaxed lifestyle than dropping out of school.
Therefore, the more people who have no background or are not well off, the more they should go to school, because going to school may be the safest choice we can come into contact with.
