Let Our Hearts Be Forever Young

My school days, from the first grade of elementary school to the time I graduated from technical school, shaped the foundation of my life. Due to the household registration issue, I did not receive preschool education. My parents' education level was limited, and my family was unable to provide early education. Therefore, I entered primary school with almost zero foundation. After ten years of compulsory education and two years of technical school study, I entered the workplace. Except for necessary skills training, I almost never returned to the classroom. I spent five years of primary school at Changhu Children's School. The teachers at the school were average, but much better than the surrounding rural schools. My first teacher, Mr. Chen, patiently taught me and helped me open the door to learning. I spent three years of junior high school at Huangpu Children's School. Although I felt unfamiliar in the new environment, with the help of my teachers and classmates, I gradually adapted and achieved good results. I spent two years of high school in a children's school. Although I faced institutional transformation and employment pressure, I still studied hard and finally passed the technical school. Although the conditions in the technical school were poor for two years, I still studied hard and eventually graduated successfully. To sum up my student days, the elementary school foundation was not strong, the high school was facing institutional transformation, and the technical school study lacked enterprising spirit. If I could start my life over again, I would work harder to learn English, take the college entrance examination, and strive for a better future.
