  August 19 is the most "shiny" day in her life for Mongolian herder Nazna.

  On this day, when the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region made a supplementary enrollment with a score reduction, as an "older candidate" in the 2020 college entrance examination of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 43-year-old Narina was "luckily" admitted to the Tourism Management Department of Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics.

  On the 25th, Narina said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com in Xinnaoergacha, Baiyinchaoktu Town, her hometown, Wangqi, the fourth son of her hometown: “One thing must be done. On this day, it was 23 years late.”

  Twenty-three years ago, Nazhina, who had excellent academic performance, had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, but because of her deaf and mute mother, she regretted to say goodbye to the college entrance examination room.

  During this period, her lover Gehama walked by her side, and the two started a family on the grassland. Time flies, Nazna is already the mother of two children.

  "Participating in the college entrance examination is a long-lasting dream for Nazna." Gehama revealed, "After more than 20 years of marriage, she often talked about taking the college entrance examination and often dreamed of entering the examination room, so she was very nervous."

  Fate went round and round, and in a blink of an eye, 2019, Nazna saw her son Tao Laga also come to take the college entrance examination, and thought: "I think I must seize this opportunity."

  "So I discussed with my family and decided to go to cram school and take the college entrance examination." Narina said, "My family is very supportive, especially my husband. He is my backing."

  During the six months she went to the cram school in Hohhot, Na Rina got up at 5 o'clock every day and studied until about 12 o'clock every night. "Dare not waste a little time."

  Her "best friend" Badma revealed, "When she was young, due to family reasons, Narina failed to take the college entrance examination. Since then, although she lives on the grassland, her enthusiasm for reading has not diminished. I know that she has been holding back her I want to prove myself to the outside world."

  Since the beginning of this year, affected by the epidemic, Nazna and her son Tao Laga have stayed at home for several months, preparing for the college entrance examination.

  "My mother's learning enthusiasm is very strong, and I am very touched. This is also the reason why I became the number one in science in Ulan Chabu City with a score of 520." Tao Laga told reporters, "What is interesting is that I will meet with my mother in the future. Going to university in the same city, I am proud of having such a mother."

  While taking the college entrance examination in Hohhot, Na Rina was mistaken as a "parent of student" by security guards and invigilators several times.

  "At that moment, I was quite uncomfortable, thinking that I must not be ashamed." Narina said, "In the examination room, I went all out, every second counts, and I feel like sitting in the universe."

  "Beauty" Badma said, "After the college entrance examination, I bought a bunch of flowers and waited for her. I didn't expect the two of them would cry excitedly when they met."

  But what is really dramatic is that Nazna, who originally "feels good about herself", did not dare to check points.

  "I didn't dare to check the scores, I was afraid that I would fail the test." Nazina said, "When I knew I had scored 404 in the test, I jumped up at that moment."

  "I sent messages and phoned to relatives and friends all night." Narina was still very excited when she talked about this.

  For many people who worry about whether she will go to school after being admitted to university, Nazina said in an interview with reporters, "I must go to school. Taking the college entrance examination and going to university is my dream."

  "If conditions permit, I still want to study for a PhD." The hearty Mongolian herder said very optimistically. (Finish)
