Nine years' experience in studying in the United States

With the passage of time, the life of studying abroad has gone away from me, and I have rarely come to this edition in recent years. I wrote this post a few months ago, and the hit rate of the unnamed page is 20 thousand, so I can't help posting it here to share with you. In fact, in the United States, most high school students are not good at math. Four years in high school is the most for algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Don't even think about it. Maybe 80% or even 90% of senior three students are not good at math, but the remaining 20%, 10%, really work hard. Ap calculus not only takes classes, but also studies hard, and then takes ap exams. Quite a few students here will eventually go to American universities, at least second-tier universities, to study science/engineering, if not world-renowned universities, such as MIT, Harvard University and Berkeley University.

Generally speaking, the math level of American students is definitely not as good as that of China students, because, as someone said before, studying in the United States is more about interest. Mathematics is certainly not as interesting as some liberal arts or even smoking, so many Americans are reluctant to make great efforts in mathematics. Anyway, arithmetic is not good, you need a calculator. However, at home, the government is engaged in compulsory education, and everyone who is interested must learn. And those basic arithmetic, is nothing more than more effort, do more problems, don't need any understanding ability, so under the pressure of exam-oriented education, China people's overall arithmetic ability seems to be stronger than that of Americans. But because a few people in America are really interested in mathematics, they will study hard under the supervision of interest. Moreover, after all, the United States is the largest country in science and technology, and the government has invested heavily in science and technology. With the help of famous teachers, interests and unremitting efforts, the United States has done better in mathematics research than China.

I want to sleep, but it is 1am. As a result, I was still thinking about American education. Write two more sentences here. I am a classmate in high school. His parents are not studying math or working as engineers/scientists, but he is really smart. I got 35 in act for the first time, studied ee for four years in an engineering school in top5, USA, and finally got 4.0gpa. Now I am still studying PhD in that school. In fact, I think the reason why the United States can become the world's largest science and technology country is because of such people. Because the United States pays attention to cultivating interest, you can see bus drivers do arithmetic with their fingers, but when you go to a top university, you will also meet smart Americans, making you feel that your IQ is even worse than that of a stupid pig.

Is it really difficult to live a middle-class life in America? I don't think it is difficult as long as you are willing to work hard. Many compatriots did not have green cards when they first came to the United States, let alone citizens. They don't speak English fluently and even stutter. After 10 years of hard work, they also lived a down-to-earth life. But many Americans are lazy and then ask the government when they have no job, Obama, where is the job? What can you say? Did Obama tell you not to study math and physics and make you not work hard? The reason why the United States is so rich and powerful is mainly that a small number of people who work very hard lead those who don't work hard to immigrate. Many professors in top American universities are European immigrants or descendants.

After nine years in America, I still have some ideas about studying in America. I don't know the rest. Although I am still studying EE in a fairly good university, I am not a good student at home. I came to America because I didn't want to recite Mulan Ci and The Analects all day. When I first came to the United States, I also missed everything in China, so I almost graduated from junior high school and went back to China. I posted a post about whether America is good or not, and there is an article in my blog called "How is America". But now that I think about it, the decision nine years ago changed not only me, but even the fate and life track of my descendants.

For those parents who are 10 years old and are still hesitant to let their children come to the United States for education, I want to say that they should be cautious first. After all, you came to America, not from Tianjin to Beijing. The United States is a free country, which can give people room for imagination and allow Americans to learn their own majors and do their own things. However, this kind of freedom will also lead people to get into the bad habit of smoking, and many American high school students will no longer be virgins before graduation. Therefore, we must be cautious when going abroad. After all, a 10-year-old child is outside, and parents spend so much money to let their precious children receive western education. Of course, they don't want to end up taking drugs and learning badly. But when people are in a completely unfamiliar environment, lonely, lonely and hesitant, that kind of feeling can only be experienced. Even for a while, I will doubt that the sky is still not blue and the water is still unclear.

Because many things are either black or white, gray or other colors. Because robbery is wrong, few people will steal it. Therefore, in the case that 10 children come to the United States for education, it is difficult for you to simply answer this question with whether it is good or not. /kloc-You must have lost something when you came to America at the age of 0/2. The simplest example is the Spring Festival. I want to go back to Tianjin for the New Year and set off firecrackers, but I can't. I wrote about the feelings of the Spring Festival in the post of Spring Festival memories. But I think I must have lost something else, but I'm not sure what it means.

But at the same time, I also got something. I can write my feelings about studying abroad in Chinese today, and I will discuss ECE with the professor in English tomorrow. After studying abroad for 9 years, you don't have to write down everything that happened in 9 years. But whether it is worth studying abroad is, after all, an experience of finding hope in helplessness, hesitation and despair and learning to be strong in failure. My 10 years of studying abroad is destined to be an unforgettable experience, if not a great benefit.

I remember it was the summer of high school 1 grade. In the summer vacation of 2003, I went to Chicago, my aunt's place, Libertyville, to work with my cousin. What I do is that children aged 5 or 6 learn to swim. We should protect them from suffocation or drowning. I clearly remember that I once went to a deep pool to practice treading water. My feet cramped as soon as I jumped into the swimming pool. In the end, I don't even know if I am alive or dead unless the swimming teacher comes to save me. And because it is summer, the American sun is very poisonous, and my chest is covered with prickly heat. Actually, my skin is not very dark, but I was tanned in order to earn 600 yuan that summer.

Another thing is that during the summer vacation after graduating from high school, I wanted to find a job and earn some pocket money, so I went to the Chinese restaurant above Neil Street in Rainbow Garden. I told my boss that I graduated from high school and have status. I don't care about the minimum wage. I just want to find a job and earn some pocket money. Now that I think about it, what I said was very fucking grandson, but in the end people ignored me. Later, I thought why. The reason I figured it out was because I have the ability to wash dishes, my mother has the ability, and now you probably have the ability to read my article. Therefore, if I want to find a good job, I must have a skill. Although some people are taking ece courses now, I know more people don't understand ampere? S law also doesn't want to consider probability.

So maybe I am who I am today because I have experienced something that makes me feel. If six years ago, I didn't even care about my life to earn that 600 yuan, I am very depressed now. Because everyone has a different attitude towards the problem, the final result will be different. Personally, I don't think the solution to the problem is to find a simple alternative. Although electronic engineering is difficult, I don't believe the solution to this problem is switch specialty.

I am 2 1 year old this year, and I believe I will encounter such difficulties in the next thirty or forty years. I don't know what will happen if I go forward bravely every time I encounter difficulties, but I know that if I try to escape every time I encounter difficulties, I will accomplish nothing in my life. Maybe if I study architecture or journalism, I will become a very good architect, and I can write very profound articles, but because I have studied EE, I must try my best to learn this well. I went to see my 440 professor the other day. He comes from Taiwan Province province. He told me that whether a person works hard or not depends on his/her urine. If his/her urine is red, it means that she/he is working hard. I think if my urine really turns red one day, I think I will feel very tired, but I will also be very happy, because at least my urine is red, which means that Dai Shuo is still trying or unwilling to give up. For this, I should be happy for myself.
