There are always some people who don't like to live a step-by-step life, and "not taking the usual path" is their characteristic.
Their practices may not be accepted by the world, but their own hearts are very calm and will not be easily influenced by people's opinions.
They will resolutely go in the direction they believe they have, and will not concede defeat and retreat even if they encounter setbacks.
That's what I'm going to talk about today. It is such a "maverick" young man.
He was admitted to university, but found that the major he studied was not his interest. When he was a freshman in college, he had the idea of dropping out of school, and naturally his parents resolutely refused.
In the face of this kind of thing, some children may have the psychology of self-abandonment and will perfunctorily treat their college life.
But he was completely different, he chose to join the community and exercise his abilities. Since his sophomore year, he has walked out of the campus and started a part-time job.
In his senior year, he ignored the opposition of his family, voluntarily dropped out of school and re-entered the college entrance examination, which was three years.
You may feel that such a life is two words - "tossing", but if you listen to his story patiently, you may find how rare it is to have an indomitable heart.
His name is Zhu Qi, from a county town in Yunnan, the family economic conditions are average, and his academic performance is not outstanding.
In 2014, he took the college entrance examination for the first time, and his performance was very unsatisfactory, and the colleges and majors he was admitted to did not meet expectations.
He was a kid with an artistic cell, but his major was electronic information engineering, which obviously didn't match his interests.
After barely studying for a period of professional courses, he came up with the idea of dropping out of school, which made his parents very angry.
After being rejected for dropping out of school, Zhu Qi did not allow himself to become depressed. Instead, he decided to do what he wanted to do, so he reported 7 clubs in one go, which not only enriched his amateur life, but also exercised his interpersonal and communication skills.
Unlike many college students who sit in the "ivory tower", when Zhu Qi was a sophomore, he wanted to look for opportunities outside the school, and his part-time job also allowed him to learn things that he could not learn from books.
When he was a junior, he worked as a wedding host, and his income could sometimes reach 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which was a very good result for college students who had not graduated.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. Zhu Qi spent time on club activities and part-time work, leaving little time left for study, which led to his serious hanging.
If you want to retake the credits, it will inevitably take a lot of time and energy, Zhu Qi calculated this account, felt that it was not worth it, and resolutely decided to withdraw from school.
After four years of college, he said that he would quit school to go to the college entrance examination, which is difficult for most families to accept. The pressure that Zhu Qi was facing at that time could be imagined, but he insisted on it, and he set his own direction, that is, to participate in the art examination.
It is said that Zhu Qi still has good strength, every exam can enter the final exam, but unfortunately fate has been joking with him, in 2019, 2020, he twice hit the Beijing Film Academy, both lost with a small gap.
Two years of hard work has been in vain, such a result, many people may not be able to bear, more likely to fall into self-doubt, self-denial. Moreover, Zhu Qi's age is also getting older, and he seems a little abrupt among the many candidates who take the exam at the same time.
But even so, he did not choose to give up. In 2021, he once again decided to fight the art exam, this time aimed at the Shanghai Film Academy directing major, and the result was surprising - he won the first place in the country in the professional class examination, as long as the cultural class exam played normally, he could realize his dream.
As a 27-year-old "older candidate", his performance is so eye-catching that it has also attracted the attention of many netizens.
Many netizens praised him, but some people criticized him for his willful impulse and did not know how to cherish his own opportunities.
However, he insisted that dropping out of college in his senior year was not a whim, but a decision made after careful consideration according to his actual situation and his future ambitions.
Indeed, Zhu Qi's courage to make such a decision is related to his personality and his college experience.
Actively engaging in practice has given him a comprehensive understanding and accurate assessment of his own abilities; a large income also gives him the confidence and confidence to take a bold step.
If these important conditions are not met, this kind of behavior is certainly not worth encouraging, but we can at least get some inspiration from Zhu Qi:
1. The college entrance examination must be very cautious in filling in the volunteer form
When filling out the major, you must not make a choice based on some hearsay information.
What major to choose, one should consider whether the prospects of the major are optimistic, the second should consider whether their personality and ability match the major, and the third should start from their own interests and values to judge whether the major is in line with their own characteristics.
Only after collecting a large amount of information, repeated comparisons and comprehensive consideration can the final decision be made.
2. Dropping out of school and repeating is the last choice
After entering the university, if you find that there is an error in the choice of major, you are not interested in the course you have studied, and you cannot immediately make a decision to withdraw from school, but you must first correct your mentality and try to find interest in learning, and may be able to turn around.
If after a period of time, you still feel uncomfortable, you can consider changing majors or applying for a double degree. If you have to decide to withdraw from school, you must repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, and listen to the opinions of teachers, classmates, and parents.
In addition, during the school period, college students should also pay attention to exercising their abilities in all aspects, learn to plan time reasonably, and find the best balance in learning, club activities, and off-campus practice.
What do you think of this young man who "dropped out of school in his senior year and re-entered the college entrance examination"? Feel free to leave valuable comments and discuss them with me.
