1. Looking back at my 2023
I stay awake all night, always thinking about all sorts of things. I feel that as we get older, people become more and more rational, and we gradually realize the pressure of being an adult. As my parents get older, my status in the family gradually improves, and my parents gradually focus on me. I can't sleep well every day, maybe I think too much. After all, he is just a young adult in his early 20s. I have achieved a lot this year, and I have also developed some bad habits. I started smoking and drinking regularly. I may always feel that I am under a lot of pressure. But I feel that my efforts and results still don’t match well. I feel like I can definitely work harder. During this period, I suffered a lot and paid a price. I learned how to see people and how to maximize my own interests. It seems that in the adult world, interests come first. If I don’t pursue my own interests, You will only be exploited by others.
This was the goal set last year for this year. I’m really ashamed that I haven’t started preparing for the traditional algorithm competition. To put it mildly, I don’t have time, and to put it poorly, I haven’t worked hard enough. In terms of mathematical modeling, this year’s results are pretty good. I got the first grade in the province, just shy of the second grade in the national level. I have no choice but to find suitable teammates and reliable instructors in a dual-Africa institution like mine. What’s more, are the students from 985 and 211 better than me? I don’t think so. I am alone with two novices, relying solely on myself. The instructor can’t do anything. To reach this point I think is the best proof of my strength. I hope I can get it next year. The national award made up for the regret. I have done the paper thing. Although it is a conference paper published in core foreign journals, I have tried my best. Now I want to study a topic from scratch. It may be too time-consuming for me, so I want to write it. It is still difficult and unrealistic for me to write a paper in a core journal. I may submit it to a few general journals later. It is better than nothing. Taking the IELTS test has always been something I have been struggling with. This thing requires a lot of energy from me, and the cost of time and money is relatively large. On the contrary, the things that can be obtained cannot be feedback in the short term. , so I kept putting it off. I played a lot of competitions this year and got some relatively good results. The lowest awards were provincial threes, and I won two provincial firsts. I won’t go into details about the other provincial awards one by one. My main regret is that I didn’t win them. If I want to comfort myself when I receive a powerful national award, I was pushed for the national award in mathematical modeling, but was rejected. It can still be regarded as a national third-level award. Because I can't find good teammates, I prefer to lead the people around me and let them win prizes, but they don't know how to repay kindness. Not a single word of thanks (a little complaint). Last year I wanted to pursue a double major, but I can only say that I thought too highly of myself, and that I was young and frivolous. Last year, only three of the seven goals were achieved. I hope to achieve more in the future.
2. 2024 goals
1. Winning more awards in traditional algorithms (programming competitions).
2. Take the intermediate soft exam (database) and get a certificate (this thing may be useful, prepare it when you review for the postgraduate entrance exam)
3. Winning first place in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition (I am planning to train my teammates from scratch this year, so I think I will be able to relax a little bit)
4. Just get a provincial prize in the math competition. It’s better than nothing.
5. Participate in more English competitions to fill the gap in college English competitions.
6. Join the party
7. Get a national scholarship
8. Graduate students come ashore in a battle
9. After you finish your graduate studies, take the IELTS test. It will always be useful.
The young man is strong-willed and unruly, flying like a tiger with wings in the sky.
I hope that the same is true for me. Even though life is full of pressure and difficulties, I hope that I will always have the unruly spirit of a young man and a beautiful vision for the future!
One year is too long, and I cannot describe it all in just a thousand words. One year is too short, as if last year’s annual summary has just passed. I feel that this year has actually been very rich, but there is really no need to write it all down. I hope next year will be even richer.
