From junior college to graduate school, God knows what I have experienced!

I originally had the idea of ??taking the postgraduate entrance examination probably during my sophomore year, because my major in school was aircraft maintenance, and my future job would be to work in aircraft maintenance at airports or airlines. After this job, it was quite difficult to communicate with the seniors who were already working, so I came up with the idea of ??taking the postgraduate entrance examination. There are many reasons why I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. One is that the future work may be more difficult, and the second is that all my high school classmates are going to the postgraduate entrance examination. It is a relatively good school, but I am still a little unwilling to go to a junior college. In fact, my studies in junior high school and high school were not too bad. However, I encountered some disgusting things in high school later on, and the pressure in high school was too great. I was depressed in high school, but now I am very happy that I have survived high school and successfully entered college.

I scored more than 400 points in the college entrance examination, because I felt that I was on the verge of collapse throughout my senior year of high school, so I was very satisfied that I could do this. At that time, my score exceeded the second and third grades in Henan's third line. Ten points. I originally wanted to study for an undergraduate degree. Later, because my relatives were engaged in aircraft maintenance at the airport, my family and relatives persuaded me to apply for the aircraft maintenance major. After all, I have relatives working in this field, and I will be able to find a job in this major. It's also quite good. The colleges and universities directly under the Civil Aviation Administration of China majoring in aircraft maintenance only have one or two courses and a junior college. My scores are only good enough to go to a junior college, so I went to my current junior college with the persuasion of my family.

I feel like it only took two or three months after I arrived at the junior college. Maybe it’s because the environment has changed and there’s no pressure. I feel that my depression has completely healed, and I no longer think about things for no reason. Later in college, it was relatively smooth. I ranked first in the class many times and successfully passed CET-4 and CET-6. I almost failed both times. I passed Computer Level 2 and won first-class scholarships from the school, National Inspirational Scholarships, and Civil Aviation Union of China scholarships in college. After graduation, he successfully passed campus recruitment and entered a central enterprise to work in aircraft maintenance.

I did not get a diploma when I graduated from the self-study undergraduate program I applied for in my sophomore year. I worked for the company for half a year before I got the diploma. The postgraduate examination stipulates that as long as you can successfully obtain the diploma when you enroll, you can still apply. I had finished all the subjects at that time, so I went to the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Self-Study Management System to apply online for printing my scores. After everything was ready, I successfully registered online and waited for the later on-site confirmation. Later, I suddenly received a notice from the company that our new employees need to go to the Guangzhou headquarters for training for a few months. I feel that everyone is lazy, because the company is a state-owned enterprise that has passed and The old employees working in our company found out that the salary was not low, so they gradually came up with the idea that even if they go to graduate school and still find a job, they might not be able to find their current job. And they sent us to Guangzhou for training. There were three of us living in a hotel room, so I had no personal space to prepare for the postgraduate exam. The training in Guangzhou was about September, October, and November, and I would stay there for three months. The postgraduate examination happens to be in December. Later on, I completely gave up on taking the postgraduate examination in 2019 because of one thing. That is, my target university at the time suddenly issued an announcement saying that the major I applied for did not accept inter-major candidates. My junior college major was engineering, and my self-study undergraduate major was business management. The postgraduate major I applied for was engineering, and I didn’t have time to review for the sprint while I was training in Guangzhou, so I didn’t go to the site to confirm that I would take the exam. I started preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam at my target school since my sophomore year, which should be said in 19 years. It is the pinnacle of my mastery of postgraduate entrance examination knowledge. But due to various reasons, I gave up taking the postgraduate entrance examination in 2019. The first postgraduate entrance examination failed.

After returning from Guangzhou, it was also the beginning of my decadence. I basically never studied the knowledge about the postgraduate entrance examination. I rarely thought about the postgraduate entrance examination, and I didn't review it. But I have never let go of this matter. Later on, I successfully established a relationship with my current girlfriend. She is my high school classmate and we know each other relatively well. In 2019, she took the postgraduate entrance examination and successfully landed. Later, the two of us looked at houses in Zhengzhou and bought our new house in May 2019.

Because my first degree was a junior college degree after all, I felt more or less unworthy of my wife. Of course, she never disliked me. Later, after I actually worked on the front line of the company, I felt that this job was not what I liked and it was quite difficult. So the idea of ??taking the postgraduate entrance examination came up again. Because my parents were from rural areas and didn’t have much money. I had just bought a house and still had hundreds of thousands of mortgage payments to repay, so I gave up and took the postgraduate entrance examination. With the idea in mind, I chose to study as a part-time graduate student. After setting my goal, I found a school in Henan, Henan University of Science and Technology, which had good engineering capabilities.

I started to formally prepare for the preliminary postgraduate entrance examination in June. Because the professional courses taken by the school I prepared for for the first time were different from those taken by Henan University of Science and Technology, I had to learn a new book for the professional courses and other public courses** *The classes were all the same: Politics, Mathematics II, and English II. During the six months from June to December, I reviewed while working. Sometimes I would come back from get off work at ten o'clock in the evening and take a shower, and still study for two or three days. I won't go to bed until after twelve o'clock. Because I always kept the lights on, my roommates had objections. Fortunately, my roommates were quite considerate. Later, I successfully passed the postgraduate examination after receiving my undergraduate certificate. The on-site confirmation confirmed that I took the postgraduate entrance examination on time in December.

The first time I took the politics test, I felt that the multiple-choice questions were relatively easy, and the big questions were a little more difficult. After completing the politics test, I felt it was okay. After the later test, I thought I could score around 70, but I actually got 67. point. In the second English test, I broke into a cold sweat in the examination room and had no idea what the next two articles meant. I could only do it the same way I did the real questions. I looked at the essays and they were all topics from the essential essay essays I bought. At that time in the examination room, I hated myself for not trying hard to memorize all the 20 English essays I bought, even though I knew I might take the exam. I wrote it according to what I remembered and what I had written temporarily. After finishing the English test, I felt that I had failed in the test and might not even pass the test. In the later stage, I actually got 57 points, which was really an unexpected surprise. The first math test the next day was my strong point, so I was still looking forward to it. Later, when I took the test, math really taught me to understand myself again. It turns out that what you think is your strength is just what you think you are. He is just a scumbag. When I took the math test, I actually laughed to myself. I studied hard for two or three years to take the postgraduate entrance exam mathematics, but it turned out that I couldn’t do anything. When I left the examination room, I felt like I could score in the 70s or 80s. I thought I should be able to pass the test. In the later stage, my score was only 59, and the national score was 56, which I almost missed. I felt that the changes were stricter. The last session was a professional course. My professional course was circuits, and the papers were from Henan University of Science and Technology. I felt that the professional courses were okay. I didn’t know one or two big questions at all, but I wrote them based on my own understanding. Professional course 104 will be awarded later. This year’s National Line Engineering Division A is ranked 264th. I got 287 in the exam.

This year’s epidemic interview was postponed to online interviews in May. The interviews at Henan University of Science and Technology were divided into professional group interviews and English group interviews. I was selected to interview in the English group first. I memorized some common English topics in advance. After a while, the teacher spoke English to me as soon as I entered the examination room. I was confused at the time. Fortunately, I adjusted in time and asked the teacher to repeat it to me. Later, four teachers asked me three English questions respectively. I basically had to ask the teacher to repeat them to me once or twice before I could understand them. But I can basically answer it slowly. The professional English part was poorly answered, and some could not be understood at all. The interview for professional courses was relatively relaxed. The teacher first asked me what courses I had studied, and then asked me two or three professional questions about electronics based on the courses I had studied. Later, he told them about the content of my work. They didn't ask me about my undergraduate degree throughout the whole process. I felt that the teachers didn't care much about my later adult education qualifications.

Recently, people have been asking me whether my teachers will discriminate against students with a junior college or adult education degree. I want to say that as long as you are strong enough and excellent, these things do not exist. When I was interviewed by the professional group, the teachers all suspected that I was a junior college student. If I have the ability to study for graduate school, I tell them about the awards and achievements I have received in college. I tell the teacher that the things I have learned in college are not worse than their undergraduates. I can basically answer all the professional questions that the teacher asked me at that time. Of the four professional interview teachers, three of them said several times that this student was not bad. After the interview, I felt basically stable. A few days later, I received the proposed admission notice.

What I want to say to everyone is that as long as you choose the target college reasonably, try to avoid majors in mathematics, and persist in reviewing for about a year, the success of the postgraduate entrance examination will be the same for us. It can be achieved. There are many students in our group who have successfully landed, and it is not as unattainable as everyone thinks. I hope you won’t belittle yourself and don’t believe in yourself just because you don’t have a full-time degree. I feel that as long as we work hard, nothing is impossible. There will always be some strange voices or perspectives around us that look at the postgraduate entrance examination. My colleagues at university and after I work all have this regard for me. Doubts, didn't the facts prove that I was successful? Let those who doubt us continue to doubt, we can't change others, we just have to work hard, don't care about other people's opinions, let time prove everything. Come on everyone, I'm waiting for good news from you all.

Thinking:

We should not feel that we have no chance to be a graduate student because of our self-study examination for junior college. I have seen that 985 graduate students who have self-study for junior college and the final exam have also succeeded in counterattack. Always keep a desire to make progress and never give up on yourself.
