Earn the "first pot of gold" in life by interning in a sociology factory
Get up at 7:00 in the morning, arrive at the factory around 8:00, and then start working for up to 7 hours - this is Liu Yudong's life in the summer vacation.
Liu Yudong is a high school senior in Class 1913 of Changsha No. 1 Middle School. Although he did not get the ideal score in the college entrance examination this year, he was not discouraged. After discussions with his family and relatives, he has a clear plan for his future college career: He majored in engineering and then minored in law, and tried to pass the judicial examination and TOEFL during the university.
In order to understand what engineering is, he went to a packaging factory in Zhuzhou for an internship under the introduction of his family.
July 4th was the first day of his internship. Due to the lack of professional skills, the factory could only arrange the most basic work for him—carrying goods and hoop covers.
After one day of work, he had the idea of giving up.
"At that time, I felt that it was just simple and mechanical repetition, I couldn't learn skills, and I didn't have a sense of achievement, so I wanted to give up." Putting aside these negative emotions and calming down to analyze the meaning of the internship, Liu Yudong clearly realized that this internship is also He left the blessing of his parents and started learning to be independent, but in the end he chose to persevere.
In the next few days of internship, while completing the work efficiently, he also saw the bitterness of front-line workers rushing to life, realized that there is no word "easy" in the world of adults, and realized the importance of knowledge.
"If you don't strengthen professional study in the university, it will be difficult to give full play to your social value when you go out of the society." During the interview, "value" became a high-frequency word in Liu Yudong's mouth. He hopes to use the knowledge and skills he has learned in the future to serve the society make a contribution.
Time flies by Liu Yudong's laboring fingertips, and the one-week internship is over soon, and he has also earned the "first pot of gold" in his life.
After a few days of short rest, on July 12, he sat in the TOEFL training class again and started a new round of learning.
"I want to improve my English level so that I can consult scientific research literature in the future, acquire the most cutting-edge knowledge, and lay the foundation for realizing my personal ideals in the future." Liu Yudong said.
Learn from the example to fulfill the dream three years ago and form a group to teach with friends
Unlike Liu Yudong, Hu Buyao took advantage of the summer vacation to fulfill a dream three years ago.
Hu Buyao is a senior high school graduate in Class 1917 of the High School Affiliated to Hunan Normal University.
In 2019, when he was a freshman in high school, he came up with the idea of supporting teaching after learning that a freshman in Shanghai Jiaotong University used the summer vacation to go to the countryside to support teaching.
After three years, he finally got this opportunity.
After the college entrance examination, he launched a volunteer activity to teach at Tianma Primary School, and he quickly got the support of his classmates Zhong Li, Li Jianing, Cai Xiaoxin and Huang Yahan.
Tianma Primary School is located in Tianma New Village, Xiaduopu Town, Ningxiang City. There are 5 classes (grades 2 to 6) with a total of 69 students and 13 faculty members.
Due to limited teaching conditions, there is a lack of professional music, body and beauty teachers.
In response to this situation, Hu Buyao and his classmates made careful preparations before supporting teaching by combining different themes.
In order to make the class well, they put a lot of thought into preparing for the class.
"I'm an art student, and I'm preparing for a music class. In order to write a good lesson plan, I asked my head teacher and many other teachers." Hu Buyao said.
After everything was ready, Hu Buyao, Zhong Li, Li Jianing, Cai Xiaoxin and Huang Yahan formed a "Smurfs" volunteer teaching team to teach at Tianma Primary School.
On the same day, the theme of Hu Buyao's music class for the children was "tragedy and comedy". He did not teach too much theoretical knowledge in the class, but let the children appreciate aesthetics by singing, dancing and playing.
"I hope to plant a seed in the hearts of children through the aesthetic appreciation course and give them the enlightenment of aesthetic education." After the first day of volunteer teaching, Hu Buyao and his teaching partners were moved that that night, on the 20th After many inquiries and two hours of searching, many children found their homes in the village, hoping to teach them lessons.
The full sincerity of the children moved everyone. During the teaching period, Huang Yahan sent the ideological and political class of "rejuvenating the country through science and education and strengthening the country"; Cai Xiaoxin sent the energetic basketball class; Literary appreciation class.
Although they came to teach, the teachers of Tianma Primary School also taught all the volunteers a vivid lesson.
"Some teachers' homes are in the urban areas, but they have been staying there so that children in rural areas can study hard at their doorstep." Zhong Li said that after going to college, she will continue to use the winter and summer vacations to carry out volunteer teaching activities and go deep into rural areas. In the classroom, the children in the countryside are brought to see different scenery.
She revealed that Cai Xiaoxin applied for free normal students when filling out the college entrance examination, and he will also take root in rural education after graduation.
Learning from the MOOC, Peking University recommends students to be busy with charging during the summer vacation
Compared with other college candidates, Wang Yuchen, a senior third graduate of Class 1901 of the High School Affiliated to Hunan Normal University, is happy. In December last year, he was sent to Peking University because he was selected for the national training team for physics.
Seeing that there is only one month left before the start of the semester on August 15, he began to take Peking University MOOCs online to learn professional-related knowledge.
"Many candidates will let themselves go after the exam. For example, some students will play games and reverse their work and rest. This approach is not desirable." Wang Yuchen suggested that everyone should pay attention to regular work and rest and strengthen physical exercise while relaxing.
He believes that life is a marathon and needs to continue to work hard in the future.
expert's point
Use summer vacation to plan ahead for college
The summer vacation is long and precious. How should candidates use the summer vacation to effectively improve themselves?
Tian Shuangxi, executive director and deputy secretary-general of the Career Education Professional Committee of the China Education Development Strategy Association, and deputy director of the Career Education Committee of the China Customs Work Committee Education Center, believes that candidates can use the summer vacation after the college entrance examination to relax and expand their interests. A hobby, traveling to broaden your horizons, or mastering a life skill such as learning to drive.
On the other hand, as prospective college students, candidates must adjust their mentality, prepare for college, think systematically and plan their college life.
Because the biggest difference between college and high school is that there is no longer a nanny-style discipline, we must clearly realize that entering college is the beginning of real life challenges.
He suggested that everyone can take the initiative to contact future study partners or seniors at the same level, expand their circle of friends, and improve their social skills. This is also a required course for universities to integrate with society.
"Although the university is free, it does not mean that the university life is easy. You can use the summer vacation to understand the university's professional training plan, curriculum settings, etc. For students who want to further their studies, they must understand the university's scholarship system and research policy in advance. , to be aware of it." Tian Shuangxi said that in the university, there was no advice from parents and high school teachers, especially self-discipline and self-planning ability. Some students stayed in the dormitory all day to play games, use mobile phones, skip classes, etc., resulting in four years of college. I didn't learn anything, and I didn't even get a diploma when I graduated, and the reasons behind it were related to unclear personal career planning and lack of motivation to study.
Therefore, planning your future career direction in advance and establishing your own goals as early as possible will help your future university studies.
