Stormy Harvard Road

1. In an environment lacking love, she loves her mother deeply, and suffers from alcoholism, drug addiction, and schizophrenia; her father, who is extremely smart but has a lifelong downfall, is always ignorant of the situation at home, and Ren Lisi is taken to a mental hospital. Grandpa insulted her sister... Because of the drugs and violence at home, Liz and her sister had no food, no clothes, their bodies were scarred, and they often picked up things in the trash to eat. Because of the stench on her body and the brutality of the mental hospital, Liz was afraid, sloppy, and withdrawn from a young age, unable to know how to get along with the world. But she loved her mother dearly. She couldn't stand her mother's tearful pleading face, she needed her smile, so she slowly stretched out her hand holding the drug. She chased her mother's ambulance, crying and calling her mother over and over again. She could see the great pain and struggle her mother was enduring, and she knew that it wasn't that she didn't want to be a good mother, but that she had nothing to give. She will always remember the love her mother gave her. After her mother died, she lay on her coffin, trying to capture the warmth of maternal love. "When I was a child, maybe only once, her warm shoulders hugged me; maybe she betrayed me countless times, but it doesn't matter, the number of times doesn't mean a problem, we remember our choice." She also loved his father, "When you were a child, your The world is my only pleasure, and because of you I always find another way out." It was she who taught her parents what love was, gave them wet red eyes, a brief sobriety, and soft hope. Second, accept the desperate situation, regardless of why there are few people who are qualified to say that she has been closer to the desperate situation than her, she has almost nothing. The death of her mother took away a little bit of maternal love and a small piece of friendship she had. She is totally alone in the world. Her mother was dead, her father was in a welfare home, her friends had left her, and her grandfather hated her and drove her out. She has no home, no friends, no security. Alone, she began to fight for a chance to go to school. She completed 4 years of high school in 2 years, taking 10 courses. She does 4 round trips on the subway at night, and has a job. There are 4 large stacks of paper hanging on the sink. That is her future, the only hope she can hold. "I never ask why it's the way it is, why it's the way it is. I know why. A lot of times it makes me sad, but I always have the courage to accept the truth." Make yourself weaker and smaller. The family is like this, the growth environment is like this, the fate is like this, why is everything, why is she different from others? She doesn't ask. Her always calm face, no loneliness, no resentment. She will recall, but she faces everything in the past. Sleeping in the subway, eating discarded things, it's not a shame, it's not impossible The wound she touches is a part of her life that cannot be changed. When she was lying on her mother's coffin, her grandfather, sister, and friends all left, leaving only herself and her mother who lived in her heart. The car that was about to fill the coffin pit growled impatiently. The whole world seems so unreal. She lay in the great shell of the world, with nowhere to run. But she saw the outside world, she stood up, took one last look at her mother's shelter, and walked forward with determined eyes. 3. There is no retreat, only forward. She doesn't want to be a fool, she wants to go to school. She only needs one chance to crawl out of the environment in which she was born. "Everyone I know is tired, angry, and they're just struggling to survive. But I know there's a world, a better world, and I want to live there." Entrance exam essay "What is your dream?", scholarship essay "What do you think is the most important gain and how you met challenges and overcome difficulties"... These topics are so easy to wave for her experience And just do it. People who have not really experienced difficulties do not know how to be strong, and they will not have such great needs, beliefs and desires for their dreams like her. "I was very lucky because all the security in my heart was taken out of my body, so I was forced to look forward and there was no way back." I keep wondering if we are lucky or unlucky compared to her. We have been groggy in this world, losing more and more direction and impulse to move forward. The love of parents and the tolerance given by their parents should be the strength to move forward, but they are always regarded as the capital to be content with the status quo. Ask yourself, when did you try your best? no. We are all ordinary people, and we can all be on an equal footing with successful people. The environment in which you grew up, everything in the past, and nothing in life can't be a reason to give up on yourself. Being pushed forward when there is no way out, and dying to live, can instead be an opportunity for us to reach our greatest potential. On the other hand, if we can force ourselves into the future, why do we have to wait to use loss as a bargaining chip? Should I be like Liz and say to myself, work as hard as I can and see what happens? At the end of the story, she is standing on the campus of Harvard, with blue eyes writing the future and hiding the past. She forgot all the little things, but still couldn't bear the past alone. She said it out and told everyone, so that you can continue to move forward. Also go with everyone who was touched by this story. Looking at her sitting in the Harvard classroom, holding a pen and paper, the confidence and smile on the corners of her mouth rose slightly, it was the result of her best efforts. We have far more opportunities and conditions than her, and we have not yet When you have entered the society and have not yet faced the pressure of society, what reason is there not to do your best? This is one of the most inspiring movies I've ever seen. In tears, find courage, strength, and dreams.
