The unwillingness and confusion in my heart are like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and I don't know where to go. Life in the countryside is simple, far from the modern life I yearn for.

It was in this seemingly isolated land that I met Megumi, a girl with endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge in her eyes.

Her intelligence and hard work gave me a real sense of what it means to be a teacher for the first time. During that home visit, I wanted to learn more about her family situation, but I didn't expect a sudden heavy rain to change the trajectory of my life.

During my teaching days, I slowly integrated into the land and the lives of these children. Xiaohui always impresses me, not only with excellent academic performance, but also often helps her classmates solve difficult problems.

Her enthusiasm and hard work reminded me of my own dreams and pursuits when I was younger. The sense of mission in my heart seems to have found a place to live here.

On the day of the home visit, the weather forecast did not say that it would rain, and the sky was blue. With some gifts in my hand, I set out on the road to Xiaohui's house.

She lives on the other side of the village, and the scenery along the way is picturesque, but walking on the rugged mountain roads makes me marvel at the hard work and persistence that the children here put in to go to school every day.

Xiaohui's home is a typical rural mud-brick house, simple but clean and tidy. I knocked on the door, and Xiaohui's father greeted him, with a simple and kind face.

Although their family is poor, their home is well decorated, and there are various awards from Xiaohui on the wall. Xiaohui's mother was smiling, holding some freshly brewed tea in her hand, and warmly invited me to come into the house and sit down.

As soon as we started chatting, the sky suddenly turned overcast, followed by a downpour. Xiaohui's parents watched the rain outside and insisted that I stay and take shelter from the rain.

Although I was a little uneasy, after all, it was an official home visit, but at their insistence, I stayed. As night fell, the electricity was cut off due to the wind and rain.

With only the faint light of a kerosene lamp left in the house, Megumi's father begins to talk about their lives and their expectations for Megumi's education. Although they don't have much culture, they are full of hopes and dreams for their daughter's future.

Xiaohui also shared her learning experience and aspirations for the future. I was deeply touched by the respect and thirst for knowledge in her words.

That night, we discussed a lot, from education to life, from dreams to reality. Xiaohui's father asked me why I had given up a possible city life and chose to stay in such a rural village. This question silenced me for a long time.

I began to reflect on my choice, and the loss and unwillingness in my heart that were originally buried because of the college entrance examination seemed to have found the answer in this hut.

I told them that although I had dreamed of a different life, seeing the eyes of these children eager to learn, I felt that I had found a bigger stage and a mission.

That rain seemed to wash away the confusion in my heart, and also deepened my love and responsibility for education. Xiaohui and her family have rekindled my passion for education with their sincerity and dreams.

As the night grew deeper and the rain became quieter, I made a decision in my heart – no matter what, I would stay here and continue my educational journey to help these children achieve their dreams.

This night not only changed my concept, but also strengthened my mission and responsibility as a teacher.

That night, Xiaohui and I sat in the dim light, the sound of conversation and the sound of rain intertwined, sometimes intense and sometimes peaceful. Xiaohui's parents candidly expressed their concerns about their daughter's future, fearing that they could not afford the cost of her further education.

Xiao Hui listened quietly, her eyes flashing with uneasiness and determination. She stood up suddenly, pulled out a worn-out textbook from her room, and showed me the notes and highlights she had marked with a red pen.

Her voice was firm and clear: "Teacher, I don't want to give up, I know that only learning can change my destiny." These words deeply touched me, and Xiaohui's determination and her parents' helplessness made me deeply feel the importance of education, and I felt the great responsibility of being a teacher.

I began to understand that I could do more, not only to teach, but also to be a bridge for them to change their lives. I told Xiaohui and her parents that I would do everything I could to help Xiaohui find scholarships and other educational resources to ensure that she could continue her education.

As we discussed our plans, the sound of rain outside the window gradually stopped, and a beam of moonlight poured into the house through the window, as if to bring hope to our conversation.

Xiaohui's eyes glistened with tears, and she pursed her lips, trying not to let the tears fall. Her father held my hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Teacher Li, we know that in this small village, we are lucky to meet a teacher like you. ”

At that moment, I felt that I had made the right decision. I'm not just teaching them knowledge, I'm influencing their lives and helping them face and overcome difficulties.

Xiaohui's persistence and her parents' gratitude made me reaffirm that the choice to stay in the countryside is not only a challenge for me, but also a call to duty.

When I left Xiaohui's house that night and embarked on the way home, my heart was full of determination and hope. This is not only a commitment to Xiaohui, but also a commitment to all children like her who have dreams.

I knew it was going to be an easy road, but the rain and the conversation that night had shown me the way. I will continue to light up the future of these children with education in this land that needs me.

A few years later, Xiaohui lived up to expectations and was admitted to a key university, becoming the pride of the village. Watching her embark on a new journey with confidence, I knew I had made the right choice.

I stayed in this small village and witnessed more and more children changing their lives because of education. That heavy rain and that late-night conversation not only changed my perspective on the future, but also gave me a deep understanding of the true power of education.

Now, when I stand in front of the classroom again and look at these energetic faces, I no longer feel lost. Every child's growth is an affirmation for me, and every lesson is full of meaning.

Over the years, I have learned not only how to teach and educate people, but also how to persevere and move forward in the face of wind and rain. I often tell my students that no matter how unpredictable the future is, as long as they stick to their dreams, they will be able to forge their own path.
