Chapter 742 Military Training is the First Course

It was almost 7 o'clock when Tang Su saw a teacher wearing a yellow T-shirt and black pants walk into the classroom.

The teacher looked to be in his 30s and wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

After entering, the teacher first counted the number of people, and after confirming that everyone was present, he said:

“Hello, students. I am your instructor for the 2003 Big Data class. You can call me Lao Zhou instead of Teacher Zhou, because I am not yet capable of teaching you.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent performance in the college entrance examination and your successful admission into the best university in our country. You are the pride of our country and the elite talents for the future development of our motherland.

As a counselor, today I would like to give you some advice on your college life for the next four years based on my own life experiences.

Maybe in your mind, university is a dance floor of youth and a palace of wisdom. But I think university is a test of youth, and life is a process of continuous test. When you step into the ivory tower, you say goodbye to yesterday, and the childishness of your middle school days will fade away one by one; from freshman to senior year, from seeking knowledge to living, from confusion to determination, only in the years of university, month by month, day by day, can you truly learn to seek knowledge and learn to be a person.

After entering the university, some of our students may feel upset because their major is not their first choice or they have chosen the wrong major, so they think about how to change their major. But I think this is a competition with oneself. A real college student should love his major from the beginning of freshman year. Professional knowledge is valuable. Professional knowledge is also your weapon to adapt to society and your job to make a living in the future. University study is not like middle school. We are no longer indoctrination-style education, nor will we cover everything. Therefore, everyone should change their learning attitude, from the previous passive learning to active learning, to acquire knowledge by themselves, instead of waiting for the teacher to teach you in class.

Finally, I want to tell you that university is a place where friendships gather. You may not feel it now, but when you graduate and enter the society, you will find out how important and precious the friendships you have had with your classmates for four years are. “A bosom friend is a friend indeed”. University friendship is the most sincere emotion in the world and a beautiful thing worth remembering for a lifetime. Therefore, I hope that you can get along harmoniously with your classmates, be more tolerant and understanding, respect each other, and care for each other.

After Teacher Zhou finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

Tang Su also applauded with everyone.

Then, Teacher Zhou continued:

"Next, I will tell you about some recent arrangements of the school. The school will hold a freshman opening ceremony at 9 am tomorrow. The opening ceremony will be held in the Qingda Comprehensive Gymnasium. Everyone should arrive 20 minutes early. Don't be late and don't sit in the wrong seat. The gymnasium will be divided into areas. One area belongs to the School of Information. You can sit in the area of ​​the School of Information. Don't sit in the seats of other colleges. Then the day after tomorrow, which is August 16, military training will begin. It will last for three weeks. In principle, all students must participate. If there are very special circumstances, such as physical reasons, you must report to me before 4 pm tomorrow and apply for leave or postpone the military training to next year. Military training is the first course you take after entering university. It accounts for two credits. I hope everyone can successfully obtain these 2 credits."
