The road to rebirth after failing the high school entrance examination: a twist of fate on the way to school
My name is Zhang Qiang, and I was 16 years old that year, which was the age of the high school entrance examination. My family lives in a small town called Qingyang, which has a small population and everyone lives a peaceful life. My parents were authentic farmers, living on a few acres of thin fields and odd jobs. Although my family is not wealthy, my parents have always worked hard to create a good learning environment for me, hoping that I can change my destiny through studying.
I knew from a young age that reading was the only way I could get out of this town. Therefore, I have been studying hard and my grades have always been at the top. However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just when I thought I was sure of winning, the results of the high school entrance examination gave me a heavy blow - I failed the list.
That summer, I stayed at home all day, reluctant to go out and meet people. I felt like I had failed my parents' expectations and my years of hard work. I don't know how to face this harsh reality, let alone what the future holds.
Just when I was discouraged, my parents gave me the greatest support and encouragement. They told me that one failure doesn't mean a permanent failure, and that as long as I don't give up, I'll be able to get back on my feet. With their encouragement, I decided to repeat my studies for a year and give myself another chance.
The days of repetition are hard. I have to wake up early every day to memorize texts and do problems. In the evening, I have to stay up late to revise. It was tiring, but I knew it was the only way I could change my fate.
On the first day of school, I woke up early to report to school. However, on my way to school, something unexpected happened.
That morning, I carried my school bag and walked along the familiar path to school. Passing by a rice paddy field, I saw my aunt and grandmother busy in the field. When she saw me, she greeted me warmly: "Qiangzi, go to school so early?" ”
I nodded and spoke to her briefly. Just as I was about to continue walking, my aunt suddenly stopped me: "Qiangzi, you wait. ”
I stopped and looked at her quizzically. My aunt came over, took out something wrapped in cloth from her pocket, handed it to me, and said, "This is what I prepared for you, you take it." ”
I took the cloth bag and opened it to see that it was a thick stack of bills. I looked at my aunt in amazement, wondering why she gave me so much money.
My aunt looked at me and smiled kindly: "Qiangzi, I know it's not easy for you to repeat your studies, you can take this money, buy some delicious food, and make up for your body." Studying is hard work, so you have to take care of yourself. ”
Listening to my aunt's words, my eyes couldn't help but moisten. I know that for my aunt, this money must have been saved by her hard work. She usually lives a simple life, reluctant to eat and wear, but she lends a helping hand when I need it most.
I held the bills tightly and looked at my aunt gratefully: "Thank you, auntie. I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations and those of my parents. ”
My aunt patted me on the shoulder and encouraged, "Good boy, I'm sure you can do it." Go ahead, go to school and study hard, and you will definitely be able to get ahead in the future. ”
After saying goodbye to my aunt and grandmother, I continued to walk to school. At that moment, I felt a lot of strength in my heart. I know that I am not fighting alone, I still have a family that loves me and my aunt who cares about me. Their support and encouragement made me even more determined to repeat my studies.
In the days of repetition, I studied harder. Whenever I encounter difficulties or want to give up, I think of my aunt's words and her expectations and trust in me. These forces sustained me through that difficult time.
Finally, in the second year of the high school entrance examination, I achieved excellent results and was successfully admitted to the key high school in the county. The moment I got my acceptance letter, I burst into tears. I know that this is the result of my sweat and hard work, and it is also the best reward for the selfless support of my aunt and family.
Now, I've got out of that small town and found my job in the big city. Whenever I think back to those days of repetition, I think of my aunt's kind face and her warm words. It was she who gave me the confidence and courage to get back on my feet and face life's challenges.
Life is like a winding road, sometimes we will encounter setbacks and difficulties, but as long as we do not give up and do not get discouraged, we will definitely be able to find our own way out. I would like to thank my aunt and family for their support and encouragement, so that I can move forward on the road of life.
