Chapter 487 Jiang Xin Extra
My name is Jiang Xin.
The word "Xin" refers to the time when the sun is about to rise.
My parents said that I chose to come to them and be their daughter on the day they went out to watch the sunrise.
So this word was used.
I have a super rich mother and a very knowledgeable father.
As for me, my grades have been mediocre since I started school.
I went to my father's workplace before, and his colleague said, "You and your wife both graduated from Peking University, and you are a professor there. Your daughter will definitely be your junior."
At that time, my father looked at me and said, "It's hanging."
Then he ruffled my hair and said to my friend, "It's enough for them to grow up healthily and be happy. Now you say the college entrance examination is too far away. I don't want to put too much pressure on my children."
I wasn't in primary school at that time.
I feel like my father looks down on me.
After going to school, I found that it was true.
My grades can only be considered average. Although I am not at the bottom, it is still very difficult to be at the top.
I was a little frustrated, "Mom, can I get into Beijing University in the future?"
"If you can get in, mom will be proud of you. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Kyoto University is not the only university in the world."
I didn't quite understand it at that time.
When I was a child, my parents were very busy and I lived with a nanny. One time when my mother was at home, I spilled a cup of cereal and immediately cried out of fear. My mother did not complain like the nanny did. Instead, she repeatedly told me to be careful and not to make the same mistake again next time. Mom took the rug. Let me help pick up the cups and bring the trash can, and we two can clean up the dirty floor together.
Afterwards my mother asked me why I was crying.
I thought about it and told my mother, "I feel like I'm causing you trouble, and I'm afraid you'll be angry."
“These are extra chores that I can avoid if I don’t spill them.”
"Don't cry next time, and don't feel ashamed. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's okay to make mistakes. Just solve the problem." Then the mother replaced the carpet with a new one, pointed to the clean and tidy floor and said, "Did you solve the problem?"
Afterwards, I noticed that my mother checked the surveillance footage and then fired the nanny who had worked at home for several years and hired a younger one who would not complain about me increasing her workload if I made mistakes.
At the same time, my mother also made more time to accompany me in sports and reading.
I did not rebel during my adolescence because my parents basically went along with me and respected me. What to eat, what to wear, which school to choose, and what major to study were all decisions I made on my own. They would give me advice, but they did not force me to accept it or not. My mother once said that I had the capital to make mistakes, and they would pay for my wrong choices.
So I had no reason to rebel.
My grades in school were neither high nor low, but I went to the best elementary and junior high schools in Kyoto.
I am grateful that I have a father who works at Peking University and a key national institution.
As a child of ours, I don't have any pressure to go to college.
Since elementary school, I have shown amazing athletic talent.
I have won awards on behalf of the school in long-distance running, short-distance running, high jump, swimming, and even skipping rope.
I was selected to join the training team, ready to win glory for my country through sports. The training was too boring, and when my hobby became a monotonous training, my love for sports was gradually exhausted.
Doing this wasn't enough to make me happy, so I gave up.
My parents still respected my choice and didn't blame me.
When I was in school, I was often asked what my dream was.
What do you want to do when you grow up?
My answer is always changing. I am full of curiosity about the world, so I don’t have anything I want to do in the long run.
I have tried. I know a lot of things, but at the same time, I am not proficient in any of them.
Sometimes I would doubt myself and wonder if I had too little self-worth. I would tell my mom about my troubles, “Why don’t you enroll me in a cram school like Aunt Yu Juan did and require me to be in the top few in the grade?”
The mother smiled and said, "Instead of rolling up the child, it is better to roll up yourself."
"Your parents' end point is your starting point. You should thank yourself for being reborn at a better time. Your starting point is higher than many people's. Because we stand high enough, we don't have too many expectations of you." This is what my mother said.
My parents are too Buddhist. Although they don't ask me to study, they themselves insist on reading and have been learning since they were young. Compared with electronic products, games and TV, reading has become a habit, so my reading is very wide and varied.
Apart from being unfavorable for exams, my thinking is jumping, I am knowledgeable and well-versed in both arts and sciences.
I have a good relationship with people and have been the class monitor for several years. My classmates all trust me and I have the support of everyone in the class.
My teachers and classmates all think that I am a very talented person.
At the same time, I have seen many mountains and rivers and traveled many roads.
These books and these roads may have nothing to do with my future, but they have taught me to think.
My parents also don't ask me to have my own value.
Learn whatever you want to learn, spend a lot of money, find the best teacher, and my parents force me to learn something without asking for anything in return.
But they shine in their own fields and thus influence me.
"If your grades are not improving, it may be that the exam-oriented education is not suitable for you. Just because you can't get high scores doesn't mean you are not excellent."
"You were born abroad. I know you have always wanted to apply to Peking University, or we can go to Peking University as international students." I rejected my parents' suggestion.
I want to get into Peking University and go to the same university as my parents. If I fail the academic exams, I can still complete it through other channels.
To this end, I looked up information, asked my father's colleagues, and asked my father's Peking University students. I found out that one can go to Peking University even if one does not get high scores in the academic subjects. Most of the students did not enter their parents' alma mater through the college entrance examination.
I started making a detailed plan for myself.
I started participating in the Youth Artificial Intelligence Challenge in junior high school.
Creative Programming Intelligent Design Competition.
Drones, models, robots.
There are too many colleagues in my father’s unit, the research institute, who are good at this. Many of them watched me grow up, so I don’t want to get too familiar with them.
They are all my teachers and resources that I can use.
I have been interested in this area since I was a child.
Naturally, I won many awards and was admitted to high school as I wished.
Planning to get into Peking University through competition, I completely gave up on the cultural courses that required long hours of memorization and repetitive and boring content.
Focus on preparing for the competition.
Study, participate in competitions, be screened, join the training team, study, and win awards.
A student with expertise in science and technology, he was admitted to the university without taking the entrance exam just like his father.
[Little Jingda, take it down.] 】
When I received the admission letter, I posted this message on my Moments.
Received a lot of likes.
Compared to getting an acceptance letter, the process of working hard to make a plan and accomplish a goal is pretty cool.
I am still young and I have a long way to go in the future with endless possibilities.
I will still be curious about the world, and I will explore the world with curiosity.
In the future, I will be as shining as my parents.
