This is not just a summary of August, it should be summer vacation. This period is a turning point of my college life.
First, I went to Chengdu with my friends in July. Few cities in China today like Chengdu that is so fond of memories from the past, and manage to actually living in it. All things in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where people like to hang out in parks or spending time at a tea house. We were deeply impressed by the famous cultural relics, cute pandas and local feature foods. Sichuan cuisine basic characteristic is hemp and hot, if you went to a hot pot restaurant and the waiter told you the dishes is not spice, please don’t trust him, ha ha.
Then I went to Shenzhen with my aunt, it’s a beautiful southern city with fantastic scenery and crystal ocean. The speedy construction of its special economic zone represents something of a miracle. Maybe I will get a job there one day like my aunt, she is one of my models, smart, capable, hard-working and considerate. We had a great time together. For me, this is what travel is all about. Stepping outside my comfort and meeting new experiences head on. It’s not the trophy how many photos are a few attractions to occupy a few, but I do more unique things which cause the heartbeat of the moment.
After two years of study at the university, I gradually become clear about my life. In the summer vacation, I took classes which are related to my profession applications while didn’t mentioned in my textbook. Like mathematical modeling, programming principles, social theory and philosophy. Newton had said that he was just a child picking shells near the vast ocean of truth. Actually, I’ve understood a bit about it. I realized my knowledge is too limited to be independent now. A master teaches the trade, but the apprentice’s skill is self-made. So, I have decided to take part in the national post-graduate entrance examination so that I can live in Beijing and obtain a better development no matter how hard it is.
Back at school, It’s surprised to me to find that I feel unfamiliar to my self two years ago, but I’m not panic now. I am a junior student now. I believe that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment, so I could be calm. Last week, I took a Harvard open class calledjustice.By telling vivid cases, the professor has explored the relationship between morality and law, which caused me thinking. As an ordinary person, making rational choices in different situations is a big challenge for me. But I think it is these seemingly inconclusive reflections that make life more valuable, we can’t be perfect but better though our efforts.
