The minute I stepped out the entrance of Shanghai Normal University I can’t help but burst into tears. I can’t remember the last time I cried. My big ego never would allow me to do that, even alone. I told myself, “finally you’ve done it....well done..”
One the way home, I recalled what had happened---the most wonderful moment in my life.
I didnt get much sleep the night before, because of anxious, fears, mixed emotions, can’t find the right word. Although I had done well in the previous entrance exam, which turned out to be top of all candidates, still I was scared, I feared that the huge pressure piled up alone the way would crush myself before the final whistle. It had been so hard for me to even make it to this final exam and interview that I dreamt countless times. I didn’t dare to imagine if anything bad might happen.
I am already in my early thirties, a time normally, as chinese tradition, should be worried if you still can’t afford having a family. Somehow I deliberately chose to be in this so-called “left over” category--those who remain single after 30s.
I could have had a family, stayed overseas in a job that pays well. “How stupid I am” is my inner critical voice that lingering around and around when things don’t go well and frustrations come up.
But deep down my heart, I know myself far better than before, I know this is the right path that I’ve chosen for myself; I know this is the field I have passion, motivation and huge interests, which drives me towards my future, to find the true answer of my life.
I had doubts as a non-English major that if I am capable of competing with other candidates, the majority of whom have spent four years in this filed, passed TEM-8, and most of all, are so young. I wish that the clock could tick back several years so that I could relive the time I wasted. However, time never stands still, life moves on. We should always looking foward, right?
When I am typing this--my feelings now, I count myself quite lucky. I know that however much efforts one makes, without luck, things can still go badly. I am so grateful to so many people that helped me along this Loooooooong battle throughout the course of the exam, then this interview. Especially my dear seniors (哇呀呀金刚,王子病, “Despicable me”--to mention just a few). Thank you for the valuable learning materials that you’ve provided and the guidance offered, without you help I cannot be smiling now. Sincerely wish you all the best in your future career.
Having been through this exam, I know how tough it can be and I’d like to lend a helping hand, just as I’ve received, to my dear juniors. Had you have any doubts related to 学科教学(英语), please feel free to ask me. I’d be glad if I could help. My qq is 439942258.
To be honesty, I am still not sure of what my future holds, and if this is a right choice. But what I do know is if i didn’t follow my heart, I'd definitely regret in the future.
I want to quote a line I like most to put this to an end, “it’s now or never”. Whatever your dream may be, go and pursue it right away, and you will make it come true!
