My Fifth Year in CCU
Though students often tease one another that someday he or she might have to delay his or her graduation, I have never thought of myself as the one to truly delay one’s graduation. After all, I’ v managed to get the credits needed, though not quite good scores. So I had never imagined this situation would occur to me.
Due to the interruption of Wuhan virus, I can’t exchange and experience foreign life as expected, but I do encounter something interesting here. First, I met 3 good friends at the school dorm. I think it’s difficult to choose to live alone but remain privacy or live with others yet without personal space. Most of the time, I rent a house near the school and lived alone. But in this year, I found it interesting to live with these 3 roommates, we have good times chatting and sharing things with each other. By the way, school dorm really saves money, and is comfortable to live.
Besides my dorm life, in school, I took some courses that I am interested in, such as marketing, English teaching and contemporary dance classes in Nanhua. Every of these courses provides me with abundant knowledge, but sometimes I feel like not having a clear goal yet, especially when comparing myself to others at the same age.
In my fifth year, I started to get some part-time jobs, like being an English tutor. It’s pretty hard for me at first, because I realized that I didn’t know how to teach. Thus, the only thing I can do is try and error, and I realized that getting good grades on the test has nothing to do with being a good teacher. Until now, I am still trying to find the resources I can teach and looking for better methods to teach.
Though being strange as I spent more years in college, my friends who’ve already dedicated themselves to working often tell me that they really envy me, for I am still a student. They think being a student is much happier than working. So, all I can do is cherish the rest of the time in school, and finding a goal and making efforts to realize it.
