My dream was to become a teacher, although it didn't come true until I was in my thirties. It's a long story.
I was born in a small mountain village called Zhuping in Zhangguying Town, Yueyang County, surrounded by verdant bamboo, with clear water and bay in front of the door, and the people in the village are simple and kind. However, beauty often goes hand in hand with poverty, and my parents work hard all day to make ends meet for the family. My childhood dream was to become a teacher, because my uncle was a private teacher in the village and was always very respectful of helping others.
From elementary school to junior high school, my Xi grades have always been good, and my teachers like me. However, due to family difficulties, they often cannot afford to pay tuition and fees. The school continued to help me reduce a lot, and I was able to maintain it until I graduated from junior high school. It can be said that it was the philanthropic light of education that illuminated the first journey of my life.
During the high school entrance examination, I did not hesitate to apply for Yueyang Normal and was admitted. However, the poor family conditions almost discouraged me, and I don't know how my parents managed to maintain my normal education. Later, I realized that it was my junior high school alma mater that helped me contact the Yueyang Education Association, which allowed me to graduate successfully. Education will nurture me and warm me like a mother. It is the ray of light that illuminates my life's dreams.
In the mid-nineties, the state of normal students was no longer allotted. After graduating, I embarked on a part-time job. But my dream has not changed. It was not until 2017 that I passed the examination to enter the teaching team of Yueyang County and honorably joined the Communist Party of China.
After I got my wish, I never forgot my original intention and remembered that I was a beneficiary of education. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today. I made a vow in my heart: in my educational career, I will do my best to inherit the heart of public welfare, practice public welfare, and spread the seeds of love like the education association.
I devoted myself to education in the mountainous area, and in the following year I was promoted to the position of Head of Pastoral Education at the school. First, then become a talent. I have always put the school's moral education work in the first place, and spread the seeds of truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of children. For example, honoring one's parents and putting filial piety firstFor example, respect the old and love the young, and regularly go to the nursing home to help the lonely and widowed elderly;For example, do not forget the martyrs, take the children to the martyrs' tower to sweep the tombs on the Qingming Festival;For example, those who help others and give roses to others have a lingering fragrance ...... their hands
I grew up under the care of educational charity. After becoming a teacher, I should spread this great love and practice the light of love. As soon as I joined the education work, I quietly joined the "One Meter Sunshine" Volunteer Association of the Yueyang County Education and Sports Bureau, became an honorable volunteer, participated in unpaid blood donation every year, and joined the China Bone Marrow Bank.
In August 2022, I received a letter from the Yueyang Red Cross Society, saying that after the search of the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank and the HLA typing data, my blood was matched with a leukemia patient. I was shocked!Can't believe it's really a 1 in 100,000 chance of a successful match. I didn't have much time to think about it before I made the decision to donate bone marrow. In September 2022, I passed the preliminary examinations such as the HLA high-resolution examination and physical examination. On November 14, 2022, I donated hematopoietic stem cell suspension to Yueyang Central Hospital, giving the recipients hope of a new life.
After that, the leaders of the Yueyang County Education and Sports Bureau highly praised my behavior. The reporter of "Yueyang**" said that I am the 437th case in the history of Yueyang City and the first case of hematopoietic stem cell donor in Yueyang County in 2022. I am deeply ashamed to face such an honor. I think of the help that Yueyang City Education will help me and make my dream come true, and I have no reason not to spread this kindness and love.
