Today is the first day of the college entrance examination. It feels that almost every year the college entrance examination is basically rainy, and it is cloudy today. I think the weather is pretty good, neither hot nor cold. Looking at the busy traffic outside the window, it was the same as usual, and I also remembered my high school life at that time.

More than ten years ago, I went to high school in a small town in the northwest. My home was about seven or eight kilometers away from school. At that time, we took dry food and 15 yuan to go to school every Sunday afternoon by bicycle. Cycling was generally about half. Hours, the kind that is not far or near. Basically, they find two or three good friends to rent houses in the villages around the school.
The conditions must be incomparable to those of a random school today. There is no heating in winter and no air conditioning or fans in summer. The winter in the northwest is icy cold. On such a cold day, it is necessary to take turns to clean the school when I am studying at 7 o'clock every morning. When I basically finished scanning the blocks that the school divided into each class, my hands and feet were numb. At that time, my biggest wish was to quickly finish sweeping the floor, and warm my hands and face with a bowl of hot water. When I was in school every year, my hands and ears were covered with frostbite, and it was hard to compare when I recovered every spring. I have also found many remedies for treating frostbite. For example, when slaughtering pigs, I stretched out my hand to let the pig’s blood wash down. I also used a Chinese herbal medicine to wash my hands every day. It didn’t work until the classroom and dormitory were heated after college. Well, I haven't had frostbite.
Every summer is not much better. There are 70 people in a classroom. The summer is very hot. When get out of class is over at 12 noon, a group of people ran to the cafeteria with rice bowls. At that time, the cafeteria had no facilities, no stools and chairs. After dinner, Or squat or stand to eat, line up for a long time to clean the bowls. After washing the bowl and making a bowl of hot water, I sit in the classroom and drink while reading a book. When I drink the water, I sweat like a shower. There is no bathroom in the school. I'm afraid of frostbite from cold, so I can accept summer a little bit compared with winter.

The school conditions are indeed not particularly good, and the teaching staff is not comparable to the middle schools in the county. Of the 700 to 800 candidates each year, less than 100 undergraduates are admitted. Therefore, at all times and places, the family conditions are basically average, with no official second and rich second, and they are basically rural students. I study very hard. I remember that 10:30 is like self-study next night, and early reading is more than 6 in the morning. Sooner or later, when there is no electricity, there are many people reading under the street lights. Reading mainly depends on their own efforts.
At that time, I worked very hard. I didn't adjust my mentality for a while, and almost dropped out of school. Later, I adjusted with the encouragement of my father and the head teacher. In fact, throughout my high school career, my reading scores were not bad, and almost no exams ranked below 100, but the overall admission rate was not high. Even so, I couldn't even get a second book if I didn't take the exam. The pressure is really great.

It also rained on June 7th of that year as usual. On the first day of the Chinese mathematics test, it was basically my long term. After reading it on the first day, I felt that I was wrong. One of the choices of Chinese was wrong. The last question in mathematics was answered right at the beginning, and then corrected. The science and foreign language tests on the second day were originally weak items. I felt that the test was broken. After reading the correct answer, it was not ideal. Fortunately, a six-choice multiple-choice question of the science and technology got me right. With a 25% probability, this luck is fine.
After a few days of taking the test, I estimated the score and filled out the volunteers. Just fill in a few in one book, and fill in a few local teachers' schools in the second book. Why do you fill in the normal school? (My family especially wanted to be teachers. Teachers in my hometown seemed to be very popular. At that time, my father had a classmate who was a leader in the county education bureau. He felt that future work should be particularly easy to handle. Who would have thought of writing code later). Among them was a certain normal school that I went to later. Two weeks passed very nervously, waiting for the score result. During this period, I thought a lot. If I can’t get past the line, whether to repeat or go to junior college, my family feels that the mentality is not good and should not repeat. Of course, the grades did not come out, and there was no discussion about the results.
I was particularly disturbed for two weeks, and finally waited until the results came out. Sooner or later, I had to endure the pig knife. I finally called to check it. I remember it very clearly that the second line was 508, and I took 512. Thank you for the multiple choice question. Later, I was waiting for admission, and I didn't remember which major I filled in. Later, I got the notice of education technology major. The overall mood is still good. It seems that I was the only one who crossed the line in our village. Later, I went to university happily. . .
I am still very grateful to those years in high school, studying in such an environment and working hard for only one goal. When I felt the hardest time later, it was not as good as when I was studying in those years.
