Zhang Bozhi: Look up at the stars and keep your feet on the ground

Reporter Ding Yanwen

A 2017 undergraduate student at the w88 casino, majoring in financial engineering at the w88 casino of Finance, and has now passed the postgraduate examination for this major. While in w88 casino, he won the "Kunpeng Scholarship", "First Prize in the Beijing Undergraduate Mathematics Competition", and "First Prize in the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition".

Only look at the goal, not the obstacles

Zhang Bozhi was born in a scholarly family in Gansu. As the daughter of a teacher, she developed a rigorous style of study and a correct learning attitude since she was a child. The habit of being higher than her peers in self-requirement also made Zhang Bozhi think about her own life path very early.In 2017, Zhang Bozhi was admitted to the University of International w88 and Economics with the first place in Gansu Province, and has been associated with Huiyuan ever since. "I have a strong sense of urgency," Zhang Bozhi shared. After a year of hard work, the unsatisfactory transcript made Zhang Bozhi realize that he must prepare in advance if he wanted to continue his studies in this competitive major. From then on, a seed about the postgraduate entrance examination took root in her heart.

In the second semester of his sophomore year, Zhang Bozhi signed up to participate in the 29th Beijing College Student Mathematics Competition.“I have loved mathematics since I was a child. Participating in mathematics competitions is to use the preparation process as a review for the postgraduate entrance examination. "Zhang Bozhi believes that when you set a goal, you must have the courage and determination to stand to the end. If you just see the outline of difficulties and hesitate, it will inevitably reduce the success rate. "On the other hand, competing with many outstanding peers is an effective way to test your ability. If you are lucky enough to win, it will also bring a big improvement to your self-confidence. "In the end, Zhang Bozhi became more and more courageous and won the first prize, and later won the first prize in the National College Student Mathematics Competition.

"The same is true for the postgraduate entrance examination. Once you have chosen a goal, don't change it easily." Zhang Bozhi said that the postgraduate entrance examination itself is not an easy task. The whole process must be prepared and focused. OnlyOnly by strategizing can we win a victory thousands of miles away. During the preparation stage, in addition to my own strong will, I also cannot do without the support of my relatives and friends.“I am very grateful to my fellow researchers,” said Zhang Bozhi’s face when mentioning the “comrades” who had fought together. “During those days, we supervised each other and supported each other’s progress, and gradually we became less tired.” The company of fellow researchers made Zhang Bozhi understand that she was not fighting alone.

Zhang Bozhi shared his experience in choosing postgraduate entrance examination goals,"In addition to choosing a major out of interest, you should also pay attention to your strengths and avoid weaknesses." She said that the postgraduate entrance examination subjects for similar majors in different colleges and universities sometimes have large differences. You can refer to your mastery of each postgraduate entrance examination subject when you first studied it to identify your own strengths and weaknesses. Focusing on strengths and making up for shortcomings can bring a qualitative improvement to the success rate of postgraduate entrance examinations. Taking the financial mathematics assessment subject as an example, the mathematics part of the 396 Economics Joint Entrance Examination is relatively simple compared to Mathematics (3). Students who do not have a solid foundation in mathematics need to carefully choose colleges that assess the Mathematics (3) subject.

Be content with the situation, take your time

Talking about his internship experience at Hepingli branch, Zhang Bozhi sighed:“It’s really different from what I imagined!” In July 2019, Zhang Bozhi came to China Merchants Bank Hepingli Branch with the desire to learn professional skills. However, to her disappointment, the work content during the internship was not closely related to what she had learned in her major. "That holiday coincided with the country's implementation of the ETC policy. The classmates who went to various banks and securities companies for internships at that time ended up participating in the promotion of ETC." Zhang Bozhi said with a smile, "However, although this internship experience did not make my professional skills improve by leaps and bounds, it changed my view of work." During the internship, Zhang Bozhi was sent to vehicle management offices, vehicle inspection institutes and other outbound locations with large traffic volume to look for potential customers. He needed to communicate face-to-face with a large number of potential customers every day. After a brief period of discomfort, Zhang Bozhi immediately adjusted his state, completed the work tasks seriously, devoted himself to learning from the seniors in the same group, carefully studied the advantages of China Merchants Bank ETC and the needs and pain points of customers, shuttled between rows of cars, worked hard to gain the trust of customers, and successfully completed one business after another. This work experience greatly improved her interpersonal skills, communication and observation skills, and she eventually won the title of "Excellent Intern".

Zhang Bozhi has loved sports since he was a child and once served as the vice captain of the women's basketball team of the w88 casino of Finance.“Exercise is a very effective way to relieve stress. Playing a game of basketball is very refreshing when you are under high pressure.” In addition to basketball and swimming, Zhang Bozhi also likes to do handicrafts to kill time. Carving rubber stamps and making homemade skirts are her special skills. The habit of doing handicrafts has made Zhang Bozhi's character more stable. She said, "In fact, handicrafts are the same as life. If you make a mistake, don't think about wasting all your efforts. Instead, you should calm down and try it again. Maybe you will succeed next time."

Message from youth

Four years is not too long, nor is it short, and I am about to end my undergraduate studies at the University of International w88 and Economics. I am honored to finally be here to share my experience with my fellow students. I have recently been busy writing my graduation thesis and self-examining a series of graduation conditions. What I see is a thin piece of transcript, and behind it is every day and night I have spent in these four years. At the beginning of my enrollment, I was confused and did not achieve excellent results. I once doubted my ability and future. The most fortunate thing is that I did not choose to give up in the confusion. I calmed down and gave myself a goal for one semester. Even if the starting point was low, I made steady progress. After paying attention to the experience sharing of my seniors and sisters, I found out , not every outstanding senior has a clear goal and never makes mistakes since freshman year. Going through detours and experiencing confusion will not make us lose hope. The important thing is to find the direction that suits you and persist in doing it. I finally chose the path of postgraduate entrance examination and achieved my goal. The process was certainly not easy, butAt the age of 20, there is neither a dead end nor a shortcut under our feet. I wish every student of the University of w88 and Economics can work hard unswervingly and reap their own growth。
