"What's the use of studying? In the end, I don't want to enter the factory!"
"The secondary school is to play!"
In the minds of many parents, vocational schools are at the bottom of the chain of educational contempt, and children who go to vocational schools are like "people who have been eliminated by grades", who walk into school with the brand of "very bad" and fall into the abyss of curse at a vigorous age.
However, is it really bad to go to vocational school, let's look at some cases first.
1, Sun Rongzhen: From a secondary vocational school to a graduate student of Shanghai Jiaotong University, she staged a wonderful counterattack
Sun Rongzhen is a girl from a remote rural village in Henan Province who came to Shanghai with her parents in her early years. In elementary and junior high school, she attended an ordinary school close to her parents' place of work.
During the high school entrance examination, Sun Rongzhen was admitted to the Shanghai Arts and Crafts School, studying in secondary vocational and higher vocational (Shanghai Vocational College of Arts and Crafts), after admission, Sun Rongzhen prepared for the "college promotion", and later successfully entered the visual communication major of Tianhua College of Shanghai Normal University.
Sun Rongzhen is determined to sprint to the "postgraduate entrance examination", "if you want to take the exam, you will have to take the best", Sun Rongzhen self-pressured herself to "push herself to a dead end", she anchored the goal of the postgraduate examination to the School of Design of Shanghai Jiaotong University according to her own interests and hobbies and listened to the advice of professional teachers.
Sun Rongzhen's preparation for the exam lasted for a year and a half, and she deleted all games and short video software on her phone, blocking all information that affected her studies. On the bus to school and home, she memorized English words, listened to art and historical materials, and seized every minute. In the classroom, she is almost "glued" to the stool to read, take notes, draw and design......
The effort will eventually pay off, and the final admission to Shanghai Jiaotong University is the best proof, Sun Rongzhen said: "The 'starting line' of life is important, but the 'acceleration' on the way is even more important", she will take graduate school as a new starting point to fight for life and fight wonderful.
2. Li Yong: Keep your love and realize your dreams of mountains and seas
After failing the high school entrance examination, Li Yong missed out on ordinary high schools and was confused for a while. He has always had a college dream, fortunately, the vocational school also has a counterpart college entrance examination class, and there is a mechanical major he likes, so he did not hesitate to choose Yunyang Vocational Education Center, become a secondary vocational student, and study CNC technology application major.
During his studies, he demonstrated an extraordinary attitude and professionalism towards learning. He knows that only by combining theoretical knowledge with practical operation can he truly master a technology and improve his skills. In the training room, you can always see the sweaty figure, focusing on the operation, and the love and pursuit of technology flashing in his eyes.
In the training of fitters, he polished the workpiece over and over again, sweated through the clothes, and never gave up when the blood blisters were grinded out on his hands; in the training of several cars, he accurately set up the competition, repeatedly checked and optimized the program, and strived for perfection in every cutting; in the general car training, he seriously practiced each turning project, constantly explored, and also helped the students to solve the problems encountered in the operation, and everyone made progress together. His hard-working and excellence-seeking craftsman spirit not only made great progress in his skills, but also won praise from his teachers and classmates. Skills have improved, but cultural classes are a hurdle in his heart, because the level of his own cultural courses is not high, he is worried that he will not be able to get into the undergraduate line in the cultural class during the college entrance examination. Therefore, he formulated a study plan for the purpose of language and mathematics surgery, reading classic articles every day to improve reading comprehension ability, repeatedly practicing math problems to improve problem-solving ability, and strengthening word accumulation and grammar practice to improve English proficiency. I also humbly asked the teachers and classmates for advice. It is precisely because of his persistence that he constantly challenges himself and his cultural knowledge has been greatly improved. In the end, he was admitted to Yangtze Normal University as an undergraduate with excellent results.
Entering the university, Li Yong is even more hungry to study, each final examination examination is excellent, the professional course assessment examination period is among the best, won the first and second class scholarships for many times, and also successfully obtained the secondary vocational teacher qualification certificate (machining technology). During his university studies, he continued to learn mechanical professional knowledge, not only systematically learning professional courses such as "Liquid Forming Process and Mold Design", "Mold Materials and Heat Treatment", "Stamping Process and Mold Design" and "Mold Assembly", but also actively self-taught advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D modeling and laser cutting, which laid a solid foundation for future career development.
3. Lu Sijin: From "secondary vocational student" to "graduate student"
Recently, major universities across the country have successively released the list of proposed admission lists for master's students in 2024. In the relevant announcement of the Graduate School of Chongqing Normal University, Lu Sijin ranked 35th in the overall score and was admitted to the agricultural management major.
On April 10, in a face-to-face interview with reporters, he bluntly said that his initial test score was not obvious, but his performance in the retest was relatively ideal, and he finally "went ashore" smoothly.
In fact, he had lost a master's degree in the College of Agricultural Engineering, and he had thought seriously about it after World War II: if he didn't succeed this time, he should go straight to work. Fortunately, the results now live up to his perseverance.
On the way to study, Lu Sijin has come to a fork in the road of fate many times. However, the name is like a lamp that has always guided itself.
488 points, after Lu Sijin's high school entrance examination score came out in 2016, he was really discouraged for a long time, and he could only pass by his favorite general high school. Following the advice of his grandmother, who works in Guangzhou Light Industry Vocational School, after weighing it again and again, he filled in the 3D printing major of this secondary vocational school, and after three years, he can continue to enter the CNC major of Guangdong Light Industry Vocational and Technical College.
"I chose this major because it is relatively new and has broad prospects, and there are still classmates who work hard, especially the homeroom teacher at the time, Mr. Yuan Chenfeng, who is very kind and has been teaching me some learning methods. ”
After entering the school, Lu Sijin also had a feeling that he was "strict". "Homework must be passed every day, evening self-study cannot be absent, basic courses of language, mathematics and English, professional skills courses, every course must not be left behind. He recalled that the intensity of learning was not small, and the teachers of some professional courses were still subject leaders. After that, his academic performance rose rapidly.
However, according to the policy at that time, candidates in the third and second divisions of middle and higher vocational schools did not have the conditions to register for the summer college entrance examination. When communicating with classmates of the same age and going to Pu High School, Lu Sijin often regrets it. He decided to make up for it and take the special book exam at the senior level.
He began to "make up" the basic knowledge of culture, "It is very 'painful', it is equivalent to having to start from scratch, and the postgraduate entrance examination is also very 'paper', but at this time I know how to collect information and prepare for the exam, and I have some foundation." ”
In December 2023, Lu Sijin took the master's admission examination, scoring 374 points in the preliminary examination, and was required to take the English proficiency, comprehensive quality test and professional written examination in the re-examination, and obtained a comprehensive score of 160 points, and was finally admitted to Chongqing Normal University for a master's degree in agricultural management.
In addition to the above students, there are many students who choose vocational education this year to take their dreams as horses and be admitted to graduate school.
For example, the "Sichuan Provincial Vocational Education Regulations" came into force on May 1, providing a solid legal guarantee for promoting the high-quality development of vocational education in Sichuan Province.
