That year, I was thirty-three out of my twenties, with the ambition of serving the country, but I was rejected twice because of my appearance. For the third time, the god of fate finally favored me, and a few words from the company commander completely changed my fate.
I remember that day, the sun was shining, and I walked into the recruiting office with confidence. The company commander looked at me and frowned: "You, let's go back, this looks ......"
I felt a pain in my heart, but I still mustered up the courage: "Company commander, please give me a chance, I will definitely be able to do it!"
The company commander hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you go and try it first." ”
And just like that, I started my recruit training. However, fate always seems to play a joke on me, and during a wilderness survival training, I accidentally scratched my face, and after the wound healed, it left a visible scar on my face.
When the company commander saw me, he said regretfully: "Why are you doing this? This scar may make you lose your chances with the army again." ”
My eyes were hazy with tears, but I said firmly: "Company commander, I am willing to give everything for the country and the people, even if it is this face!"
The company commander was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "That's it, I'll help you find an opportunity, you go and try." ”
Soon after, I participated in the special forces selection. The selection process was extremely difficult, but I always gritted my teeth and persevered. In the end, I finally stood out and became a special forces.
In the special forces force, I have experienced countless life and death tests, and I have also gained countless honors. And all of this is thanks to the company commander's love.
Once, when I was on a mission, I encountered a terrorist. He grinned wickedly and raised his knife to slash at me. I couldn't dodge, and another scar was added to my face.
When I returned to the unit after the mission, the company commander looked at my face and said distressedly: "Why are you suffering? I am afraid that this scar will affect your future again." ”
I smiled and said, "Company commander, this scar is a testimony of my military merit medal, and I have no regrets!"
The company commander patted me on the shoulder and said affectionately: "Good job, I believe you will become an excellent special soldier!"
In this way, I spent countless springs and autumns in the special forces forces. Although my face was scarred, I was filled with pride. Because these scars are the best proof of my dedication to the country and the people.
Now, I have been out of the army for many years, but I still remember those passionate years. Whenever I think of the company commander's love, a warm current swells up in my heart.
Perhaps, this is fate. When I was about to give up, the words of the company commander made me find my direction again. And I also repaid the trust of the company commander with practical actions.
Time flies, and that time has faded away. But in my heart, I will always remember those years and the company commander who changed my fate.
Life after being discharged from the army is plain and unpretentious. I returned to my hometown, the small village that once made me aspire to serve my country. The years are passing at my fingertips, but the pride and tenacity of the soldier in my heart have never diminished.
It was an ordinary afternoon, and I sat on a stone bench in front of the door, looking at the lush green wheat seedlings in the field not far away. The words of the company commander seemed to be still echoing in his ears: "You will definitely become an excellent special forces." I smiled and thought to myself, Company Commander, I didn't disappoint you.
"Brother, are you thinking about the army again?" my brother came over and sat down next to me.
I nodded and didn't speak. My brother knows what those years mean to me.
"Did you know that the village is going to build a Hope Primary School, and the village chief said that there is a shortage of principals? The younger brother said suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Principal, I'm a big boss, how can I be the principal?" ”
My brother patted me on the shoulder: "Brother, you have experienced so much, you will definitely be able to teach the children more." ”
I was silent. Yes, those years, those experiences, should not only be my own memories.
A few days later, I approached the village chief and told him that I would like to be the principal of this Hope Primary School. The village chief looked at me, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then smiled: "Your experience will definitely bring a different education to the children." ”
And just like that, I became a principal. Every day, I take the children to run on the playground to teach them to learn, and also teach them how to persevere and how to face difficulties.
"Children, do you know what true bravery is?" I asked one day in class.
The children raised their hands and talked about their understanding.
I smiled and touched the scar on my face: "True bravery is to protect our loved ones and be willing to face all difficulties and challenges. ”
After class, a little boy ran up to me, he looked up at me, his eyes flashing with curiosity: "Principal, why do you have so many scars on your face?"
I squatted down and patted him lightly on the head: "These scars are proof of bravery. They told me not to give up, no matter what the odds are. ”
The boy nodded incomprehensibly, and ran away. I looked at his back, and my heart was full of hope. These children are the hope of the future.
I hope to use my experience to influence more people. Company Commander, if your Heavenly Spirit could see all this, I think you would be proud of me.
In this ordinary position, I continued my life journey. Although there is no rain of bullets and no life and death tests, I firmly believe that here, I can also realize my value and serve my motherland in another way.
The days passed quietly in peace and busyness, and I swam in the ocean of knowledge with my children and sweated on the playground. I used my own experience to tell them that every fall is a stepping stone to growth, and every failure is a whetstone to success.
Early one morning, I was urgently called to the office by the village chief. He had a document in front of him with a serious expression.
"Principal, the above will send a teaching team to our school for a period of one year. The village chief said.
This means that the children can receive a more well-rounded education.
"Village Chief, this is a good opportunity, we should welcome them. ”
The village chief nodded: "Yes, but it also means that you have to put aside some of your work for the time being and cooperate with them." ”
I smiled: "For the sake of the children, I do." ”
On the day the teaching team arrived, the whole village was boiling. The children were running around excitedly, and the teachers were looking forward to welcoming the guests from the big city.
The leader of the team is a young female teacher, her name is Lin Ting. Her eyes reveal a passion for education and curiosity about the land.
"Hello, I'm the headmaster here. I held out my hand.
Lin Ting smiled and shook hands with me: "Hello, we have heard about you for a long time and look forward to working with you." ”
With the help of the volunteer teaching team, the school's curriculum has become more colorful. Lin Ting also often exchanges educational experience with me, and the cooperation between us has become more and more tacit.
One day, Lin Ting watched me training with the children on the playground, she came over and asked me softly, "Why are you working so yourself?"
I wiped my sweat and replied with a smile, "Because I want children to understand that only a healthy body can support the wings of dreams." ”
Lin Ting was silent for a while, and then said, "You are an amazing person, and I am very touched by your persistence." ”
At that moment, I seemed to see the approving gaze of the company commander. The persistence and persistence in my heart have never changed.
As time passed, the volunteer teaching team was coming to the end of their mission. On the day of parting, Lin Ting found me and handed me an envelope.
"What is this?" I said, confused.
"This is a little bit of our team's heart, and we hope that your school can be better developed. Lin Ting's eyes flashed with reluctance.
I opened the envelope, and inside it was a remittance slip for donations. I was so moved that I couldn't speak, so I could only hold Lin Ting's hand tightly.
"Thank you, I'll make the most of the money. My voice was a little choked.
On the day the teaching team left, the children reluctantly said goodbye to them. I stood at the school gate and watched them go, filled with gratitude.
The days are back to their former peace, but the school has changed in a new way. I used the funds donated by the volunteer teaching team to improve the teaching facilities and make the children have a better learning environment.
As the years go by, I still stick to my post, using my story to influence generations of children. I knew that the company commander would be proud of me. And I will continue to sow hope and harvest the future in this land.
After the departure of the teaching team, the teaching environment and teaching quality of the school have been significantly improved. I have also worked harder to devote myself to the cause of education, hoping to give children a better future.
One day, I was sorting through documents in my office when I suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door. I opened the door and saw a strange middle-aged man, his face was full of anxiety and he was sweating profusely.
"Hello, I'm the headmaster here. I asked, confused.
"Principal, I'm Zhang Wei's father, my son had an accident at school, can you go and see him?" said the middle-aged man anxiously.
My heart tightened, and I immediately followed him to the infirmary. Zhang Wei was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, and there was an obvious wound on his forehead.
"Doctor, how is Zhang Wei?" I asked nervously.
The doctor sighed: "His injuries are not serious, but he needs to rest for a while. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Zhang Wei's bed, and patted his hand gently: "Zhang Wei, you have to be strong, when you are well, I will take you to the playground for a run." ”
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, with a determined glint in his eyes: "Principal, I will definitely be fine." ”
During the days of Zhang Wei's recovery, I would visit him every day to bring him encouragement and warmth. I also learned from other children that Zhang Wei was a very brave child, he was always helpful at school and was a little hero in everyone's minds.
Finally, Zhang Wei recovered. On the day he returned to school, the whole school applauded and welcomed him. I looked at the smile on his face and was filled with relief.
As the years passed, I watched my children grow up day by day, and my heart was filled with joy. Not only have they achieved excellent results in their studies, but they have also grown into excellent people in terms of character.
When the annual graduation season came, I stood on the podium and looked at the children in the audience, and my heart was full of emotion. They are about to embark on a new journey and meet new challenges.
"Children, you have to remember that wherever you go, keep a brave heart and move forward. I said affectionately.
The children in the audience nodded their heads one after another, their eyes shining with determination.
After graduating, children leave school to pursue their dreams. I will continue to sow hope and harvest the future for the next generation of children.
The years are like a song, and the persistence and persistence in my heart have never changed. I knew that the company commander would be proud of me. And I will continue to hold up a blue sky for children in this land, so that they can thrive in the sun.
