My name is Li Qiang, an ordinary child from a rural background. I grew up in a poor family, my parents were working in other places, and my grandmother and I depended on each other. Although I had a hard time, I studied hard Xi hope that one day I could change the fate of this family.
I still remember the day I was in high school, my grandmother held my thin hand, her eyes were full of tears and expectation: "Qiang'er, you must study hard, and you will make grandma happy in the future." I nodded heavily, my heart swelling with infinite fighting spirit.
In her junior year of high school, my grandmother suddenly became seriously ill and needed surgery. The family was already stretched, and this is even worse. My parents spent all their money on my grandmother's medical expenses, but I worked harder to study Xi and hope to ease the burden on my family through various scholarships.
Son, don't go to college, hurry up and come out to work to earn money!"Facing my grandmother's sickbed, my father said to me with red eyes.
I clenched my father's black hand and shook my head firmly: "Dad, I will definitely be admitted to Peking University, and I will be able to find a good job when the time comes, and our family will never have to work so hard again!."”
The father was silent, knowing that his son had made up his mind, and just patted me on the shoulder.
On the day of registration, my parents came to school early and said goodbye to me at the school gate.
Son, you must study hard Xi we are all waiting for you to retire after graduation!Mother admonished with red eyes.
Yes, take us to live in high-rise buildings!Father joked.
College life was much more varied than I could have imagined. Heavy coursework and various social practices, a fulfilling and busy four years. In addition to studying Xi, I often work part-time to earn money to reduce the burden on my family.
Every letter sent by my parents, every call**, would tell me not to work too hard and take care of my body. I knew they were worried about me, but I didn't have time to worry about it. It is my most urgent wish to finish my studies in the shortest possible time and find a good job.
In my sophomore year, my grandmother's illness was ** again. My father called, choked up and said that he needed surgery, and the cost was as high as hundreds of thousands. I know that's an astronomical amount for my family. Hung up**, I bit my lip and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Don't worry about it, kid, we're going to borrow money!"Father comforted me on the other side.
I shook my head with red eyes, even though he couldn't see it, "No, Dad, you've done so much for me." It's time for me to take care of some of the family. ”
From that day on, I went crazy to participate in various entrepreneurship competitions and apply for social practice projects. Finally, with the support of a public welfare**, I started a one-year volunteer teaching program in the western region. This can not only get a certain living allowance, but also exercise yourself and help children in need.
The days in the west were hard, but I never regretted it for a moment. I threw myself all into teaching and helping and made a group of like-minded friends. Some of them are also from rural areas, and some of them come from wealthy families, but they all have the same pure heart. I started to learn to work as a team and my management skills improved. This year's experience has made me grow a lot.
The days in the west are a year in the blink of an eye. This year's experience has made me more mature and more aware of my purpose in life. After returning to school, I kept devoting myself to Xi and social Xi, hoping to get more opportunities to exercise before graduation.
Just when I was about to graduate, my father called a **, and his tone was a little abnormal.
Son, hurry up and go home!Your grandma is in critical condition and wants to see you for the last time!”
I was silent, and my heart was filled with great sadness. My grandmother has supported me in my studies all these years, but now that she is critically ill, I can't be by her side.
Don't worry, I'll be back right away!”
I got on the train home overnight, and I was in great grief. When I got home, my grandmother had passed away, and I knelt in front of her in tears, in pain.
The father had red eyes and stroked his hair: "Son, grandma is walking very peacefully, we have to live better for her." ”
I nodded my head heavily, determined to let my grandmother's spirit rest in peace.
In this way, in grief, I spent the last month of college. At the graduation ceremony, I couldn't laugh like the rest of my classmates, but I just stood silently, excited and full of sorrow. This moment should have belonged to grandma, but she left forever.
Congratulations on your graduation!A new journey lies ahead!”
The chairman on the stage said loudly.
I took a deep breath and clenched my fists. It's okay, Grandma, this is just the beginning of our struggle, and I'll make you proud!
The first days were very busy, and I put almost all of my energy into my work. My colleagues say I'm working too hard, but I don't care, I just want to get promoted and get a higher salary in the shortest possible time. I would leave the office until it was dark and drag my tired body back to my rented room.
However, I know that this is not enough. The windswept faces of my parents are always urging me forward. I started learning new skills Xi my spare time, hoping to excel in this era of rapid development.
In this way, day after day, I lived a life with little to no rest. Occasionally, my parents called, and I could only deal with a few words in a hurry. I knew they were worried about me, but I couldn't stop.
Finally, one day three years later, at the company's annual meeting, I was invited to speak on stage and was promoted to project manager amid the cheers of the crowd. At this moment, my eyes were red with excitement. Finally, I can give my parents an explanation!
Son, congratulations!We are so proud of you!I dialed my parents' **, and they immediately heard their sobs of relief.
I know this is just the beginning. In the future, I will get more glory for my family!
In this way, in the midst of busyness and rush, I gradually entered middle age. Occasionally, when I pass by Peking University, I will have a lot of thoughts. I will always miss the enlightenment and training given to me by Peking University, so that an ordinary rural child can successfully gain a foothold in the city.
Life is a long road, and I know that there are infinite possibilities waiting for me to explore!
