Candidates who failed in the college entrance examination regretted wasting the opportunity to get into junior college after 10 years.
In 2008, Xu Mengnan, an Anhui examinee, took the college entrance examination for the first time. Instead of "rules", he wrote his own "education declaration" on the examination paper. In the end, a total score of more than 160 points failed to send him to any university, and Xu Mengnan was also called a "blank candidate". In fact, he regretted his choice shortly after the college entrance examination 10 years ago. In the next 10 years, he failed to return to the examination room again. In March this year, Xu Mengnan took the classified entrance examination for colleges and universities in Anhui Province and was admitted to a college. Recently, he received the admission notice from the school.
"Be prepared to get a zero."
Xu Mengnan was born in 1989. Of the four children in his family, he is the best at learning, and his parents who make a living by farming also place great expectations on him. Since childhood, Xu Mengnan’s academic performance is not bad, but since high school, he has started to contradict the school curriculum, and his academic performance has gradually declined.
In the 2008 college entrance examination, Xu Mengnan wrote his own views on the education system on the examination paper, "It’s my share ‘ Education manifesto ’ Well, I wanted to attract some people’s attention, but there was no response. " He said, "I was actually prepared to get a zero, but in the end I found that I got more than 160 points, but it was impossible for me to go to college."
Re-take the college entrance examination after 10 years
After the college entrance examination in 2008, Xu Mengnan once thought about repeating and taking the exam again, but for various reasons, he failed to do so.
In the past 10 years, he has worked as an assembly line worker, and also managed the billboard production business for his relatives. "However, I have always regretted the choice I made in the college entrance examination, so I always want to find opportunities to make up for this regret." He said.
At the end of last year, Xu Mengnan finally made up his mind to return to the examination room. He picked up his textbook again and began to review. He also listened to the audio of the teacher’s lecture with headphones at work.
In March of this year, Xu Mengnan walked into the examination room of the classified entrance examination for colleges and universities in Anhui Province. He applied for four schools, all of which were colleges and universities. Xu Mengnan said that his review time is relatively short, and he has thrown away a lot of knowledge in these years. Therefore, he could not "eat a fat man in one bite", so he did not intend to take an undergraduate course, but chose a junior college.
In the future, consider "upgrading from college to undergraduate"
Xu Mengnan said that the results came out soon after the exam. When he posted the results, he ran to see it and knew that he was admitted. He finally chose the best one from the four predicted schools.
"I chose news editing and production as my major, because I am interested in writing, and many reporters interviewed me recently, which made me curious about the news industry." He said.
Earlier this month, Xu Mengnan officially received the admission notice from the school. He said that his efforts finally paid off. Although he was "late" for 10 years, he was very happy when he received this notice.
"Now I’m applying for a junior college. If I’m in a good school, I’ll consider ‘ Junior college ’ Yes, round a undergraduate dream. " Xu Mengnan said.
conversation
Xu Mengnan: The "blank paper" of that year was not worth it.
Yesterday, in an interview with Beijing Youth Daily, Xu Mengnan said that the school will start in September this year, and he is still looking forward to the arrival of this September. The 2018 college entrance examination is just around the corner. I hope that students who take the college entrance examination this year will not imitate themselves and cherish the opportunity of the college entrance examination.
Beiqing Daily: What changes have taken place in life after receiving the letter of admission?
Xu Mengnan: Because classes don’t start until September, life hasn’t changed much for the time being. Before preparing for the college entrance examination, I have quit my job in other places and returned to my hometown in Anhui, working part-time for some e-commerce companies online. I should still maintain this state and earn some tuition fees in the future.
Beiqing Daily: Does your family support you to return to the examination room after 10 years?
Xu Mengnan: I divorced a few years ago, and now I live with my children. If I go to school, my children will be taken care of by my parents. I used to work in a foreign country, so I can only go home to see my children once or twice a year, but this time I am admitted to a local school, so I may have more opportunities to contact with my children in the future. My parents supported me to take the college entrance examination again, and they said it was a pity to make up for me. Studying again will not add burden to my family. Now I work part-time for more than an hour every day, and I will earn about 4,000 yuan a month. I can continue to do it after school, and I also believe that I can get a scholarship.
Beiqing Daily: Many people say that you "suddenly repent" after you step into society?
Xu Mengnan: Actually, it is not a "sudden repentance". I originally hoped to attract others’ attention by writing some views on education on the examination paper. However, I found that it didn’t work, and soon regretted it. I felt that I had wasted the most important opportunity in my life. I thought about repeating it at that time, but it has not been realized for various reasons. I have also been to some schools in recent years, and told students to cherish the opportunity of education with my personal experience, especially for many farmers’ children, which may be an opportunity to change their destiny. Now think about it, the "blank paper" of that year was really not worth it.
