In today's society, the only way for students from ordinary families to change their future class status is to study hard. However, we must face the reality that it is not easy for students from poor backgrounds to get out of the mountains and get into prestigious schools. The difference in educational resources and environment has caused the difference in the starting line of students. Some students have worked hard all their lives, but in the end they are only standing at the starting point of some second-generation officials and second-generation riches. For ordinary poor students, if they want to obtain high-quality educational resources and change their future, reading may be the only way out.
Although the lack of high-quality educational resources makes it difficult for poor students to access, there are still many students who are admitted to top universities with their own efforts. According to the data, there are 39 985 engineering universities in China, and if students can be admitted to one of them, the employment prospects after graduation will be broader. And if students can be admitted to Tsinghua University, the top university in China, the future is naturally bright.
However, reality is often different from what we imagine. Some students only find that they are almost like being "beaten" compared with those students from superior families after being admitted to Tsinghua University. The achievements that I was once proud of seem to have become insignificant after entering Tsinghua University, because the campus is full of champions from various provinces. Not only do you lose your advantage in grades, but you will also find more material gaps. Not only do the truly outstanding students come from strong backgrounds, but the students themselves are also very good, with excellent grades and other specialties. Since they have easy access to high-quality resources, they can easily get a spot whether they are working or studying abroad. They don't even need to bother to plan their lives, because their future path is almost predetermined, and they just need to follow the trajectory that their parents have laid out for them. Even if they have other ideas, their families will be relatively supportive, which makes many students feel overwhelmed.
This situation makes many students feel helpless, and they don't know what they are working so hard for. Even if you try your best, it will be difficult to surpass the well-born students. It is this sentence "Admitted to Tsinghua University but not as good as the second generation of officials" that reveals the fig leaf of ordinary families.
There was once a girl from an ordinary family who expressed her feelings after entering Peking University, which has more development prospects. She found that the academic powerlessness was more pronounced than the material disparities. When she appreciated the prosperity of the world, she also saw her own insignificance and the diversity of this world. The professor of the research group she wanted to join turned her down on the grounds that the group was full, but instead agreed to a student who was inferior to her in every way, simply because the student's parents were judges for a well-known academic journal. At this moment, she truly felt the gap between herself and the family of scholars. She felt like she had exhausted all her strength and finally reached the starting point of others.
While we can't change where we come from, we can change our future through hard work. Being accepted into a 985 university is already a remarkable achievement, not to mention being admitted to the top universities in China, Tsinghua University and Peking University. The future of the students is bright, and they hope that despite their hard work, they will still move forward and accept their mediocrity. Even when compared to students from better families, their efforts put them in a leading position. Students who graduate from well-known universities can enjoy better educational resources because they have a higher starting point, and they have an advantage whether they are admitted to graduate school or civil service. In addition, around the graduation season, many large companies come to hire, and these students already have employment opportunities even before they officially graduate, which is their advantage.
In short, the words of ordinary family students, "No matter how hard you work, you can't compare to the school valve", unveiled the fig leaf of ordinary families. Although we cannot change our origins, we can change our future through our own unremitting efforts. Studying hard can not only improve your life, but also achieve better results. Every student should have the courage to accept mediocrity, but still move forward, because as long as we work hard, we will be able to create our own wonderful life.
