Zhao Zi'ang
Growth: 10 years of social hardships and never abandons the dream of college
In the eyes of classmates, Zhao Zi'ang is a classmate with a story. Zhao Zi'ang was born in Xiangyang, Hubei in 1991. After graduating from high school in 2009, he followed his uncle's footsteps to join the army and train himself. "I was so frivolous that year, and I was confused when I was young. I discussed with my family and decided to join the army first after graduation."
everyone said that "the military camp is a melting pot", and only after a hundred training can it be made into steel. After two years of military life, Zhao Zi'ang not only received physical exercise, but also experienced spiritual tempering. "The army cured my 'procrastination' and improved my execution ability. After returning to campus, I still maintained the good habit of finishing today's work today," he said.
In 2011, Zhao Zi'ang retired from the army gloriously. When he returned to his hometown, he worked as a hotel waiter, courier sorter, customer service, etc. As soon as he joined the express delivery company, Zhao Zi'ang experienced the hot scenes of the e-commerce shopping festival. "Four loaded trucks were parked in front of me, and in a blink of an eye, half of my body was already submerged in the cargo... My task was to move the goods to the conveyor belt, and I went all night long. Even though I had been a soldier, my soles of my feet were numb."
Zhao Zi'ang was actively preparing for the competition in the laboratory
During the days when I was working everywhere, Zhao Zi'ang saw the difficulty of life and met many positive and ordinary people. "Their stories tell me not to give up on the pursuit of higher life ideals." Whenever this happens, Zhao Zi'ang's longing for university is increasing day by day. He hopes to return to campus one day, enrich his life experience, and better realize his life value.
dormant: Returning to campus at the age of 29 to become a self-discipline expert
In 2019, the country made major strategic arrangements for the expansion of enrollment in higher vocational colleges mainly for retired soldiers , laid-off and unemployed , migrant workers and other groups. This is a rare opportunity for Zhao Zi'ang. Register in September and take the exam in November. Hard work pays off. He successfully passed the enrollment expansion examination of Changjiang Vocational College and was admitted to the major of electronic information engineering technology, becoming one of the first batch of college students to expand enrollment in higher vocational colleges in the country.
After 10 years of social training, Zhao Zi'ang was not used to it at first, and even seemed a little "sudden change in style" when he was with other classmates who were much younger. The counselor Xie Jing and Zhang Zi'ang were about the same age. She was worried that Zhao Zi'ang would not be able to integrate into the group, so she observed silently while caring and enlightening, urging Zhao Zi'ang to actively participate in class activities. "During the preparation for the chorus competition, he was the one who was the most punctual and active in cooperation. He would take time to practice for himself if he didn't do well." Teacher Xie said that seriousness, persistence and concentration are Zhao Zi'ang's principles for doing things.
College also specially arranged for teachers to help him "get a small tuition" to learn basic courses such as mathematics and circuits, so that Zhao Zi'ang can establish learning and professional confidence.
Focus on learning
With the care and help of the teachers, Zhao Zi'ang's military spirit and will were fully activated again. In the first semester of his freshman year, he determined his learning goal: successfully pass the English CET-4 and CET-6 exams, and actively participate in various professional competitions to test his learning results. For this reason, he would sit in the first row in every class and actively communicate and discuss with the teacher. On countless nights, he thought hard about the solution to a problem and would spend a long time to deeply understand the knowledge and principles behind the circuit. Because his English listening is weak, he used the time he washed and ate breakfast every morning and then wrote down at night. In addition to class and class activities, he spent almost all his spare time in the library.
Roommate Xiao Heng said that Zhao Zi'ang's grades have improved rapidly in the semester of his senior year. Students often come to the dormitory to ask him for his homework, and he always refuses everyone.When other roommates were relaxing on the weekend, he either memorized words with headphones or studied in the library. "I have the habit of making a list of plans, make plans once a week and summarize the situation last week." Zhao Zi'ang said that returning to campus made him cherish the rare opportunity to study, and he must make this hard-won campus life more meaningful.
breaks out of the cocoon: Winning the national award and aspiring to advance to the postgraduate entrance examination
In a college English class, Zhao Zi'ang's English self-introduction left a deep impression on English teacher Wu Jie. He borrowed the work of the American poet Robert Frost "Handle Unselected Road " to express his mood: "Everyone has different choices, and I chose the one with fewer footprints, and then it determines that my life will be different from then on." Teacher Wu said that Zhao Zi'ang was able to pay attention to the new policy and return to school. Even if this is a path with fewer people and thorns, he still made a firm choice.
Zhao Zi'ang was speaking in English class
Through the careful guidance of the teachers and his hard work, Zhao Zi'ang ranked first in majors in all subjects over the years. In his sophomore year, he successfully passed the college English CET-4 and CET-6 exams with good scores of 592 and 604. "It is rare for vocational schools to have dual English certificates. Zhao Zi'ang proves that he has strong strength in expanding enrollment," said counselor Xie Jing.
In November last year, Zhao Zi'ang passed layers of screening and represented the school in the Hubei Division of the " Foreign Research Society ·Guocai Cup" National English Writing Competition. As a non-English major, Zhao Zi'ang made great efforts and won the special prize in the Public English Group of Hubei Province in one fell swoop. He represented Hubei Province in the national finals and won the second prize in the national first place. "There is no competition skills, just that the training has been quantitatively achieved, and the accumulation of quantitative change has brought about a qualitative leap." Zhao Zi'ang said frankly.
Participate in the national scholarship defense
In December last year, Zhao Zi'ang represented the school in the "Hubei Craftsman Cup Integrated Circuit Development and Application Competition" competition, and won the second prize at the provincial level with good professional skills. In December this year, Zhao Zi'ang is about to graduate, but his dream will not stop. He plans to devote himself to the junior college entrance examination , and plans to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future. "No matter what, I choose to continue my college life," said Zhao Zi'ang.
