[Graduate Interview] Xu Zhetong: The postgraduate entrance examination is a long-distance race for one person
Reporter Wang Xin
Xu Zhetong, a 2010 undergraduate student majoring in accounting at the w88 casino of Business, was admitted to the Institute of Fiscal Science of the Ministry of Finance this year. During my undergraduate studies, I won the w88 casino-level comprehensive first-class scholarship three times and the w88 casino-level comprehensive second-class scholarship once. Ranked third in professional performance. He is also a national third-level athlete and has won first place in the 5,000 meters and third place in the 1,500 meters at the w88 casino level many times. He once served as deputy director of the Volunteer Corps of the Business w88 casino.
Speaking without boast, being gentle and elegant, and having a modest smile, this is the first impression Xu Zhetong gives to people. No one could have imagined that he would give up the opportunity of postgraduate entrance examination in w88 casino and choose the "single-plank bridge" of postgraduate entrance examination, but he did it resolutely and never regretted it. When faced with the reporter’s confusion, he said: “College is a lesson, a lesson about learning to give up. ”
“I am a very stubborn person”, his calm eyes shone with determination. For him, giving up the postgraduate entrance examination and choosing to take the postgraduate entrance examination was a last-ditch, all-or-nothing choice. Behind the choice was day after day's hard work and a process of accumulation. Get up at seven o'clock every morning, go back to the dormitory from the porridge and noodle story at one o'clock in the morning, and repeat this cycle for several months without stopping to "complete the plan." "It was a very self-conscious state, as if you were an outsider and didn't understand everything in the outside world. All you could do was study, because you knew that once you failed, it would mean total defeat." Although his decision to take the postgraduate entrance examination was denied by his parents and questioned by his friends, Xu Zhetong still ignored everyone's opposition, strengthened his heart, and faced challenges fearlessly. "I am not a smart person, so I am willing to work harder than others." "The postgraduate entrance examination is a process of having a less optimistic attitude and using determination and hard work to prove yourself." Perhaps that sentence is answered. The postgraduate entrance examination itself is not difficult, but the difficulty is lack of preparation.
“I am a person who wants to have some challenges in life.” When it comes to the reasons for choosing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, in addition to the confidence in my own achievements, another reason I have to mention is my internship experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the four major accounting firms. With outstanding performance, he entered the 20-in-1 Lipu organization and then got the opportunity to enter PricewaterhouseCoopers. He goes to work at 8:30 every day and gets off work at 10:00 at night, and sometimes he has to work overtime. The super intensity of work and the same work content every day made him give up the idea of working after graduation. "I want to learn something new, instead of repeating the same job every day." This is also the reason why Xu Zhetong gave up his postgraduate studies in his major at w88 casino. "Change the environment and learn something new."
“I am a person who doesn’t want to stop once I start.” Xu Zhetong, a member of the w88 casino’s track and field team, said that the reason why he has such great determination and perseverance in taking the postgraduate entrance examination is largely due to his long-distance running experience. After running 8 800 meters in the first training, he couldn't stand still, but he still insisted on training for the track and field team again and again. Even when he started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in his junior year, he would set aside 3 or 4 days a week to exercise, running 2,000 to 3,000 meters each time. I remember last year when answering the press conference whether he would continue to participate in the second year of the competition, Xu Zhetong said: "Keep running until you can't run anymore." The postgraduate entrance examination is like a long-distance run. Once you prepare to start, you must persist until the end. Even though it is a thousand meters away, there is nothing to be afraid of.
There is a saying: "Those who are not strong in ambition are not wise." Xu Zhetong, who is determined, works hard, is willing to be lonely, and goes all out. How can he not reach the end of the "race"?
