Before and after I started teaching, I kept asking myself: What changes will this year in Northwest China bring? For Great Northwest, maybe my one year of work has brought about very little change, but it is enough to make me proud.

After arriving in Jingyuan County, Gansu Province, I was assigned to Jingyuan No. 4 Middle w88 casino to teach high w88 casino biology class. Jingyuan No. 4 Middle w88 casino is the county seat4The most special kind of full-time high w88 casino: more than 90% of the students come from rural areas, and their family conditions are generally poor.

Several of us volunteers live in a small house next to the teaching building. Usually, many children always come to talk to us. There was a child from a remote village. After he heard me occasionally talk about college life, he who usually didn't dare to talk mustered up the courage to find me: "Teacher, I really want to go to college in Beijing, but I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to the people in the city, because we children in the countryside have a poor foundation." The discouraged tone is sad. I told him seriously that the teacher himself was admitted to college from a rural boy. The teacher felt that he was no worse than the people in the city and that people's destiny was always in their own hands. I shared with him the methods I used to study high w88 casino English and mathematics to help him improve his grades. By the time I left as a teaching assistant, he was already among the top ten in the class. In the message he left to me before leaving, he wrote: "Teacher, you gave me your ideals, and I will never forget them in this life."

On campus, I often play football and run with students, chat with them about college life, and share their ideals and growth experiences with them. Our feelings are getting deeper and deeper. In the days before returning to Beijing, I would find small gifts placed at the door by the children every day, including green peas picked from my own land, rice dumplings and stuffed skin... The day before I left, I came to each class and gave everyone a postcard with a picture of the University of Foreign w88 and Economic Cooperation printed on it, telling the children that this was an agreement, an agreement about university and dreams.

Not only the children, but the folks here are also very cute. At the end of last year, I was invited to a class to attend a parent-teacher meeting. I shook hands with the father of one of my classmates. His hands were surprisingly rough and very strong. Although the dialect is difficult to understand, every word and sentence he said is imprinted in my heart. He said that no matter how hard he was, he would let his children go out; he said that although people in the northwest are not rich, everyone has ambition. Listening to his words, I felt that having the opportunity to come to this land and get to know these people is such a rare gift in life.

To me now, the West is no longer just an area on the map, but a mark deeply embedded in my mind. The majestic western part of the motherland is vast and quiet, waiting for every enthusiastic young builder.
