Consequences of errors in volunteering for college entrance examination

The college entrance examination volunteers almost concentrated all the coordinates of the dream.

You may be admitted as a volunteer or transferred to another school. After a series of accidental permutations, such as luck and opportunity, the pointer of fate stays somewhere in the volunteer form.

Many years later, recalling the moment when they volunteered to fill in the college entrance examination, they could quickly lock the key fork.

Chen Shuo, from Dali, Yunnan, likes the same school because his grades are almost the same as those of his brothers. In mutual "humility", they each chose their own future path. I was not admitted to the first volunteer major, but studied food science and engineering. At the age of 32, he changed a track and started over. At the age of 34, he joined a state-owned enterprise and became a fire safety engineer.

Yan Jing, a candidate from Jiangxi, wanted to study economics, but she was admitted voluntarily in advance. She took an unpopular pre-school education major, and in the next decade, she will usher in the upsurge of early education industry. "In the past ten years, everyone said that the major you chose at that time was too good. How did you choose such a popular major? "

Tian Jiawei, a candidate from Hebei Province, was unable to apply for a foreign language major because she missed the oral English exam. She once thought that she would miss her life. "But the longer the road ahead, the things you thought you couldn't forgive yourself will become very small in your whole long life."

Lin Yuheng, a candidate from Shandong Province, missed out on the ideal major of the ideal university because of her abnormal performance in the college entrance examination. "My dad said that you love watching TV so much that you can sign up for a TV major." Film and television let her know the existence of beauty and aesthetic significance, and professional quality can also penetrate into daily life. Although she is not engaged in the work related to radio and television editing and directing now, she said, "No matter what major you study, the course will leave traces, and it will always leave some marks on your body and mind."

At the end of June, the college entrance examination has been opened all over the country to fill in the volunteers. We invited five students to talk about their past experiences in volunteering. In these past events, there are glimmers of idealism and twists and turns based on reality. Some people hold the idea of lifelong learning and move towards opening up at the next crossroads.

"Children from rural areas can only rely on themselves."

Narrator: Yunnan examinee Chen Shuo.

I come from Dali, Yunnan. Participated in the college entrance examination in 2005. It's been 17 years now.

I am a science student, and my score is nearly 60 points higher than that of a book. My ideal wish is to go to West China University of Medical Sciences, but I can't get the final score. My father is from Sichuan and suggested that I apply for Sichuan University. Our family is in the rural area of Dali, and the elders don't understand. You can report it how you like.

It still took a long time to sign up, because at that time, the scores of our four brothers who played well were very close, and everyone wanted to sign up for Sichuan University. But it seems that Sichuan University only recruited 100 people in Yunnan. If we all sign up, someone will definitely fail to sign up.

Finally, the person with the highest score is determined to apply for Sichuan University. Two other students told me that since you have done this, I won't do it. They study at Southwest Jiaotong University and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. I still chose Sichuan University. This score will definitely go up in previous years, but I have to obey the professional adjustment.

I didn't know the importance of major at that time. I applied for four majors, the first one is water conservancy and hydropower engineering. I think this prospect is better, and I like it too. The last volunteer is food science and engineering.

The final admission result is food science and engineering. To tell the truth, I am a little xenophobic, but I think forget it, at least I can get a diploma from Sichuan University.

After school, I also belong to the countdown. Both seniors and classmates say that the salary of this major will be lower in the future, which is really not exciting. After all, I am a child from the countryside, and I can only rely on myself for employment, so the professional employment prospect is the most important for me.

I just graduated from a company in Nanjing. I felt sick after that. It's too hot. After the training, I did not choose to join.

One day after returning to the talent market in Yunnan, a state-owned food company was recruiting people. People asked me which school I was from, and I said I was from Sichuan University. The person in charge of recruitment told me that you should come to work directly. At that time, it was 20 10, and it was relatively good to get more than 3000 in Kunming.

However, the wage growth in this enterprise is very slow. There is a lot of pressure after marriage, especially after having children. I'm thinking about changing my job.

20 17 I went to Xinjiang on business with an old-timer. He was reading a book on safety and said that he would take the exam as a registered safety engineer. Then he said you should take the exam, too. So I took the examination of 20 17 registered safety engineer and 20 18 registered fire engineer. The fire engineer exam is very difficult, and the passing rate may be 1%. At that time, the certificate was very valuable, and you could earn 80 thousand or 90 thousand a year with this certificate. Of course, now the country is cracking down on affiliation.

My first job was from 20 10 to 20 18, and finally I was the workshop director.

After resigning in May, 20 18, he transferred to a private enterprise engaged in fire fighting business. I did all the work, including fire inspection, fire facilities maintenance and fire construction. I still spent a lot of energy and time learning this skill, hands-on operation and consulting experts. I also suffered a lot.

When I resigned, I made a plan. First of all, I must learn technology. Later, when I learned well, I was transferred to a state-owned enterprise.

After working in a private enterprise for two years, at the age of 34, I successfully entered a relatively large state-owned enterprise. Now, compared with the original, my income can be said to have doubled, and the pressure of life has been relatively reduced.

So in retrospect, volunteering for the college entrance examination is very important. If the major is not filled in, it may affect the future. I'm not denying food-related majors, but judging from my years of work, there is really no good soil. There must be someone who can develop well in this field, and everyone's path is unique. I can only represent myself.

Just took a detour, but as long as people are motivated and willing to work hard, they will have food wherever they go. Even if we study an unsatisfactory major, we can still make some efforts to correct it.

"Times change too fast, find what you really like."

Narrator: Jiangxi examinee Yan Jing

I took the college entrance examination in 2007. After the college entrance examination, Jiangxi assessed my score and volunteered. At that time, my father thought it was particularly good to study finance and economy, and it was better to find a job in the future, so he chose martial arts.

Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Han Dynasty.

My mother doesn't really want me to study economics. She thinks it's good for girls to be teachers. In addition, there are teachers at home, so I filled in a volunteer approved in advance, Shanghai East China Normal University.

At that time, I was not sure that my score could go to a particularly good major in China Normal University, so I filled in preschool education, and my score was relatively low.

I don't really want to choose this major myself. Growing up in a teacher's environment, I will be rebellious and really don't want to be a teacher anymore. Moreover, pre-school education may come out as a kindergarten teacher, and it always feels as if it is unlikely to make big money.

The head teacher also said that the possibility of my early admission was not particularly great, and he felt that I should still take the economics exam. Unexpectedly, the final score was directly shifted in advance by China Normal University.

I feel in my heart that my future seems to be over after finishing my normal major.

When I really entered the school, I was particularly impressed by the first class in the university. It was my first time in children's literature class, and the teacher told me some classic picture books. It's the first time I know that children's books can be done so well. If they continue to develop, it will be good for the next generation.

It was in that class that I found that this major was much broader than I expected. Besides, we have many practical classes. Born to like children, I gradually accepted this major. Although teaching is a very common occupation, you can still get extra happiness in this industry in the future.

After four years of college, I also found that I am actually very suitable for this major. When I am away from home, many people will guess my major correctly when they see me.

Then the education industry suddenly became a gold industry in ten years. Originally, I studied pre-school education, which can't be limited to kindergarten teachers. In this decade, all the capital is going to the education industry, especially early education.

The second job is to do children's programs in foreign companies. Later, the work was basically foreign companies, doing video planning and auditing of parenting content, and some paid courses. My present job is the person in charge of products, leading my own team.

After work, my family doesn't interfere with me much, and they don't know what I'm doing now, but they know that I'm making children's cartoons, because the life we live now is bigger than theirs and beyond their experience, so they can't give too much advice.

I am very satisfied with my present state. After so many years of graduation, my love for this major has not diminished. In this industry, my economic situation is not bad, and I feel that I am doing something meaningful.

Although I volunteered to fill in the college entrance examination and was admitted in advance by mistake, I think it is quite good to take this road.

I think college entrance examination volunteering is a stepping stone to life planning, but it's really just a stepping stone. It doesn't mean that life is over. You still have many opportunities to change. Like some of our classmates, it will be obvious that he doesn't like children very much, and some students' current jobs have nothing to do with our major at all.

When I applied for the exam, preschool education was not a very good major, but during these ten years, everyone said that your major was too good. How did you choose such a popular major? Of course, this industry will shrink after the double drop last year, so I don't think it is necessary to pursue a particularly popular major, because the future is too long and this era is changing too fast, and it is more important to find what you really like.

"Volunteer service basically determines your annual salary ceiling."

Narrator: Hebei examinee Tian Jiawei

I am a college entrance examination student in Hebei 20 1 1. My English is relatively good, so I am bent on learning foreign languages and doing international foreign affairs.

Generally, those who are interested in applying for foreign language majors will take an oral test in advance. In our year, the oral exam was held within a few days after the main subject exam.

But I forgot to take the exam. My classmate came to ask me, why didn't you come to the exam? I just woke up from a dream. I think I'm finished. I feel that I have finished the college entrance examination.

I can't apply for a foreign language without my spoken English. After that, I didn't study my wish, but my father was doing it. He chose schools according to his scores. Finally recorded the third choice, journalism department of Hunan Normal University.

When I got the admission results, I seemed quite happy, because I felt that my life was scrapped at that time, and it would be nice to have a school.

After going to college, I didn't like journalism theory and other courses for a while. When I studied those theories, I was a little skeptical about life. But when I ran around to watch the news, I thought it was quite fun. There are many internships, and I have been internship in a newspaper since my freshman summer vacation.

But I have never forgotten the road of internationalization, and I still think I will do related work in the future. I will communicate with foreign students in my school and read biographies. I am very interested in the history of various countries.

When he graduated, his professional performance and comprehensive performance ranked first in the hospital, and he was recommended to be a graduate student in the journalism department of Sun Yat-sen University. During this period, I watched many documentaries, African history, memorabilia of world pattern changes, etc. in the library, and initially formulated the direction of international news.

When I was a second-year graduate student, I started my internship in a media company in Beijing, majoring in international news. Every day is a different topic. Today is the American election, tomorrow is Snowden, and the day after tomorrow is the Belt and Road Initiative in China, which is quite training for learning things quickly, clearing your mind, writing quickly and breaking through interviews.

During my internship, many interview resources were developed by myself. When I selected the former president of Afghanistan, I waited for a whole day downstairs in the hotel where he was meeting. He didn't give any media interviews, but later he gave me an interview.

To tell the truth, I once thought, what would my life be like now if I chose a major like finance in the college entrance examination? I see many students are doing different things, with high salaries, there will be some gaps. I feel that when you choose this major, you have already doomed your overall direction, and volunteering basically determines your annual salary ceiling.

However, if you study a major you don't like, it is also very uncomfortable, so you should give consideration to both ideals and reality. Facing the golden penny, I still choose the moon.

I missed the oral exam, and I regretted it at that time, thinking that I really missed the whole life, but the longer you walk behind, the more you feel that you can't forgive yourself, and you will become very small in your whole long life.

"The college entrance examination opened the door for me to reduce my choices."

Narrator: Guangdong examinee Huang Shuling

I took the college entrance examination in 2008. That year, the exam in Guangdong was 3 plus X, and my X was biology. I like natural science books or books related to national forest parks very much. I may have read all the relevant contents in the library a long time ago.

At that time, I had an ideal, that is, to do something for the Three-North Shelterbelt, so I chose Forestry of South China Agricultural University. I had a vague idea that I wanted to plant a tree in the desert.

Family members and even some relatives will ask, are you sure you want to choose this one? They feel that they are not afraid to learn mathematics and physics well and travel all over the world, but there are no creatures. They think that studying biology is a very dirty choice. I listened to some of their suggestions, but in the end I chose what I liked.

When I got the admission result of forestry, I felt quite happy, as if I had seen my little dream come true.

During my four years in college, I have always maintained a strong interest. So later, when I applied for graduate students in south china botanical garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, I also chose ecology as my major. There are many postgraduate entrance examinations in our major, but we will not return to this major. They will want to take this opportunity to change majors and take more exams in law, psychology and economics.

At that time, I was the only girl who returned to my major after postgraduate entrance examination.

So in 2020, I chose to continue my studies and went to England with a full prize. My major also focuses on sustainable environment and business management.

After graduation, I became the sustainable development manager of an enterprise in Guangzhou. Many people may not know there is such a post. In fact, it organically integrates three aspects, namely environment, society and corporate governance.

The road to forestry is very small. But even minority majors can broaden the road. China is a stranger to sustainable development, and there are few specialized posts. But my current job can affect many upstream and downstream suppliers, and many enterprises are now practicing some green behaviors, and their sense of accomplishment is still quite high.

I have no regrets. At that time, I just looked at what I was interested in and stumbled into it by mistake. Rationally speaking, the college entrance examination volunteers still hope that everyone will make a comprehensive analysis. I will still give advice based on SWOT. S is an advantage, W is a disadvantage, O is an opportunity and T is a threat. Everyone can make a balance according to their own situation. Of course, other people's suggestions are suggestions, and it is you who make the final decision. You will always be responsible for your own choices.

"After that, there will be traces."

Narrator: Shandong examinee Lin Yuheng

In high school, I was always the first in my class and the top ten in my grade. The college entrance examination in 2005 was probably too tense and didn't perform very well. I missed Shandong University and finally chose Shandong Normal University.

My father is a science student and likes liberal arts. In terms of literature, I have been in contact since I was a child, and I tend to report the relevant direction of literature, but I am worried that the score is not enough. My dad said that if you love watching TV so much, you should sign up for a TV major, or you can combine your hobbies with your study. So I reported to the director of radio, film and television.

This is an interdisciplinary subject, and the subject we involve is literature; Art (studied sketch and gouache); Knowledge of music, basic notation and theory; I also learned Mandarin, a course related to broadcasting and hosting. There are also lights, directors and so on. And it feels particularly eye-opening.

I felt very happy and lucky to choose this major at that time. In the process of liking, discovering, exploring and deepening, I feel that I have grown a lot, and also let me know the existence of beauty and the significance of aesthetics, and even the profession can go deep into our daily life. Sometimes sitting in the cinema or watching a program, there will always be some appreciation based on your professional judgment.

After graduation, my classmates are also engaged in film and television distribution companies, or publishing. It seems that it is not what I really want to see their working and living conditions. I chose to take the civil service exam, and finally settled down in this university to engage in administrative work.

In fact, I think it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong in the choice of life. My father once said with emotion that you liked literature so much at that time. I wish I could directly apply for literature major. As a bystander, he may have some regrets in his heart.

We often say that we live in other places, or that our hobbies are irrelevant, so I don't regret it.

Volunteer for the college entrance examination. I will say that if you want to study any major, just listen to your inner voice and study boldly, because we can stick to what we like until the end. Sometimes life is still inseparable from idealism. Although I am not engaged in the related work of this major now, I will watch and appreciate it from a distance.

No matter what major you study, you will leave traces after you walk. It will always leave some marks on your body and mind, and you can also have some hobbies or gains outside your career.

When we do our work, we can't see the difference between people, but in other details, I think these inner persistence will still give us some guidance and guidance. Even if my strength is small, I can still have my own voice.
