Regardless of your background, life only has meaning when we give it meaning. I don't know how Liz felt when she wrote this book. I recalled my wandering self, my broken family, my friend who gave me roses, my own history of struggle with no distractions, and my anxiety and sensitivity before the admission letter came out... Although my family was not wealthy, But after seeing Liz's first half of her life, I can't imagine a person who was homeless and homeless, I can't imagine a person living a starving life and watching her worry about her own livelihood She is in the prime of her youth, I sigh with regret, maybe this is just a fuss after reading the book, I have no personal experience of her life, and I cannot deny it. Watching her return day and night, studying with stars and moon, and boarding at a friend's house, in order to fear that parents will find out that only 2-4 hours of sleep a day, what kind of will and determination does a person have to achieve this? Therefore, perhaps it is precisely because of the suffering that she has entered the threshold of Harvard University and her life has set foot on the road of prosperity. But it is true, university is only a small part of your life, but it is an important testimony of your hard work for twelve years. The biggest hurdle in our life is the college entrance examination. Before the college entrance examination, we will go all out. We worked hard to write and write flowers, and after the college entrance examination, we wandered around the world. Maybe the results were not satisfactory, but we were worthy of our hearts. In the university, it is more the platform for our development, not the determinism of performance. In the university, we have a better choice of life path, and the right to choose has always been in our hands. The abyss. But life before college is only one-fifth of our life, and the remaining one-fifth is not the decisive factor of college, but its indispensable point, how long our life is, let us walk slowly Walking in the courtyard, one day you will be able to pick the stars.
