我要写一篇文章送给母校六十周年校庆。写点什么好呢？就写写我的初中和初中毕业后十年来追逐梦想的一些经历和感悟，权当简单的回顾，亦可作为经验鞭策后来的校友们。
1995年9月，以固阳县全县第一名的成绩，我进入固阳一中，开始了初中生活。那段日子对我来说是珍贵的。至今我还清晰地记得教过我的好多老师：西装笔挺，学识丰富的数学老师郝茂林；个子矮小但自信十足且滑稽有趣的英语老师王国庆；还有和蔼可亲的语文老师贺玉莲；当然还有我的班主任老师，杨希望，总是冷静从容，泰然自若。记忆越久远反而越清晰，那些孜孜以求的日子，游荡在浩瀚的知识海洋里面，快乐的时光占了大多数。
如果给我一个梦想，我可以给你一个精彩的未来。我是一个爱做梦的人，有一颗不安静的心，梦想是幸福和美妙的。初中的时候简单地概括就是有梦想就会实现。带着儿时的天真，一切都顺利的近乎完美：我的成绩一直是全年级第一名；我参加过的竞赛除了物理没有拿奖外全都得到过至少市一级的奖励；最让我感到荣誉的是全国希望杯数学竞赛的三等奖铜牌，那时候郝老师还激动的泪光闪闪呢；每年的冬季越野赛我都给班里拿过好的名次。然而那个时候，我并不知道初中以后是高中，高中以后是大学，还有以后的……；回想起来，在我往后学海生涯中走过的每一步，都离不开在固阳一中学习期间奠定的扎实的基础。
98年中考后，以每科平均90分的成绩，我考入了包头市第四中学。说起来，我上学的路上最不快乐的时光可能就是高中这三年了，环境，语言，生活和竞争的压力，让我突然失去了以往的自信和学习的乐趣。重点高中的学习生活有太多的束缚和压力，动力抑或压力往往在转念之间。后来想想其实自己在高中时的心态没有调整好，一直都试图融入那个环境却始终游离其外。尽管如此，我的成绩在高一高二一直是全年级30名之内，高三下滑有点大，但是高考也不算太坏，561分，超过重点线40分。第一志愿大连理工大学没有录取，第二志愿被内蒙古大学录取到生命科学学院生态环境系。这个时候的我依然爱做梦，但是知道了不是所有梦想都会实现。要提醒那些即将步入高中的同学们，与其说高中时期是学习上的竞争，倒不如说是心理素质上的考验，提高你的心理承受能力，才能坦然应对成败。
2001年9月，我迫不及待的离开了高中的环境，虽然有点辜负了大家的期望到了内蒙古大学，但我很快就融入了快乐的大学生活。大学里面宽松，开放，自主的生活和学习环境，使我如鱼得水。在那里我有了最明显的成长。开始我在生态学系，后来选拔入生物学基地分子生物学专业——内蒙古大学较好的专业之一。另外，我参与了丰富的娱乐活动，打台球，看小说，上网，k歌，逛街什么的。我还结识了许多朋友，那个时候的我表现了大部分的自我属性，这些用个性魅力交来的朋友是我的宝贵财富。大学时没少逃课，可能是因为我的天性不喜欢被束缚，上课或自学相对自由的选择，让我过得既充实又高效。为了可以解决自己的生活花费问题，我做了好多份家教，也做过餐厅服务生等。大学期间获得过3次校级二等奖学金。我很满意我的大学生活，觉得丰富而有趣。有压力但是没有被压垮，反而越来越强大！大四的时候由于成绩优异，我被保送到了中国科学院过程工程研究所生化工程专业。对大学的概括是：更多梦想，更多选择！我曾努力地学习过专业课程，钻研过英语，也接触过日语等，这些都为我的梦想添上了翅膀。
2005年9月，到了中科院以后，和另外一群有梦想的年轻人在一起，我的梦想有了更多色彩！这三年里我真正地接触了科学研究的课题，以及具体的理论和细节的研究方法等。以前对专业不是很自信的我，突然发现我在做研究上很有天赋，而且也发现了自己的兴趣所在是发现和探索有趣的生命现象，以及解释我们看到的生命现象背后所藏的玄机。由于向往国外先进的科学技术和自由活跃的学术氛围，出国深造的念头渐渐萌生了。准备硕士毕业论文和准备出国考试，我都不敢耽误。仅仅不到半年的时间我考完了GRE和TOEFL, 而且成绩好地让我自己惊诧不已。要知道没有几个人是用这么短的时间完成这两门考试的，当然如若没有多年来扎实的英语功底，我也是望尘莫及。联系了10所国外的大学，有3个大学同时发来了录取通知函。最终我选择了佛罗里达大学的植物细胞和分子生物学系攻读博士。这个时候，我对梦想的理解是：梦想有多远，我们就能走多远！
2008年9月到了佛罗里达大学，又是一番陌生到熟悉，无名到认可的过程。我体味着文化背景的差异，以及教学方式的变化，很快就喜欢上了这里张扬自我，多元并包，思辨自由的学术气息。每天都有挑战，每天都在进步！仅仅一年，我觉得专业方面起色很大，最值得高兴的是我对生物科学的兴趣与日俱增，决定投身于发现有趣的生物科学奥秘。当然，压力是无处不在的，当你学会以客观和理性的姿态去调试自己和压力的关系时，你的每次进步都有质的飞跃。我期待着自己可以在科学这个崇高的领域里面做出独特而有价值的贡献，那意味着我需要不断革新自己的思想，思维及理念，不断创造。总是莫名中感觉到一种使命感，当我潜心追随时，仿佛又不确定，到底是什么样的使命要求我来完成呢，让我们且走且看，拭目以待。这个时候我的梦想宣言是：有选择地梦想，有计划地追随。
一路走来，说难也难，说易也易，全凭自己把握和命运安排。简单地说，对于我的每个选择，其实并没有经过很仔细地计划和思考，有时只是人云亦云，有时只是一晃而过的念头。人生并不是一切尽在规划之中，可能只是走走画画而已，而画好画坏就在自己的资质和机遇了。然而所幸的是，我的梦想始终伴随我，渐渐清晰却依旧遥远。要送给大家的一句话是：带着梦想起航，乘风破浪或波澜不惊，找到你梦的港湾。
从1998年到2008年，这是我的十年。母校固阳一中在这十年中也经历了许许多多至关重要的改变：校舍的逐渐更替建设，由初中高中部并存转型为独立高中办学，以及教师和领导的引进和更新，还有莘莘学子们的一茬茬轮转流长……。始终如一，我们固阳一中人的共同目标是：为固阳一中可以培养出更多独具特色的人才服务于社会而努力。而这一目标的实现离不开老师们的辛勤汗水和学子们的孜孜不倦，更需要社会各界对固阳一中的关心和支持。不管是过去还是未来，对于教育的资助和扶持是一本万利的投资，更是造福人民，造福社会的长远福益事业。在新的环境下，坚持我们校训的同时，营造“自由、自主、自我创新”的学术氛围更能体现现阶段基础教育的根本任务，和当今社会对建设人才素质的本质要求。
谨此献上我的祝福和感谢，愿母校越来越好，永创佳绩！

Goes all the way for dreams
I want to write an essay as a gift for the 60th birthday of my Alma Mater- Guyang 1st high school. What should I write down? How about my junior school life and the experience and sentiment when I followed my dreams after graduation? It may either be treated as retrospection or experience that could have an urge on the young schoolfellows.
Sep, 1995, as the No.1 student I entered in Guyang 1st high school and began my junior school life. It was precious time for me. Hitherto, a lot of teachers vividly present in my memory: the one who always wearing trim business suit and with great wisdom is my Math teacher——Maolin Hao; the one who a little dwarfism but extremely waggish and funny is English teacher——Guoqing Wang; And also amiable Chinese language teacher——Yulian He; And of course our supervisory teacher——Xiwang Yang, who is always easiness and imperturbation. How fabulous that is the more longinquity the memory, the more clear it is. In those industrious days, wandering in the immense knowledge sea, joy occupied most of the time.
Given me a dream, I will give you a wonderful future! I am a girl falling in love with dreaming, and with a restless heart, and I believe dreaming is blessedness and great. In summary, the junior school life is ‘it is going to be true whatever your dream is’. With child’s simplicity, everything is favorably almost perfect: my grades was always the first one among the entire students; except physics, I won at least Baotou-city-level prize in all the competitions of different subjects; the one made me feel great honor was the 3rd brand medal in the national “Hope Cup” math contest, and Mr. Hao was ablaze with tears in his eyes at that moment; I had very good performance in each year’s ‘Cross-country race’. Whereas, at that time, I never knew after junior school is senior, after senior is University, and so on…; Fetching up, no steps that I went through in my studying life can be achieved without the well-knit foundation built up during studying in Guyang.
In 1998, I entered in the Baotou 4th high school, with an average score of 90 in the entrance exam. The three years in high school was the most awful and unhappy time in my studying life, the pressure from environment, language, life and competition led me to lose my past confidence and interest in studying. The studying life in those key high schools has too much restriction and stress, motivation or stress fast switches between each other in our mind. Think it over, my attitude was not adjusted right during that time, I was kept trying to get used to the surrounding environment but dissociated outside all the time. Still, I maintained among the top 30 students in the 1st and 2nd year. There was a big slippery in the 3rd year, however, it was not bad in the university entrance exam. My grade was 561, which was 40 points over the entrance line of famous universities. I was not admitted to Dalian University of Technology, therefore, enrolled in department of ecology and environment in college of life science at Inner Mongolia University. At that time, I still loved dreaming, but I knew that not all the dreams would come true. Just to remind those guys who are going to step into high school, the high schoo1 life is more a trial on mental quality than a competition on studying. Enhance your endurance on mentality, than you will be capable of facing success and failure in calmness.
In Sep, 2001, I left my high school and entered in Inner Mongolia University, although failed everybody’s expectation on me, I blended in with the happy university life pretty soon. The freedom, open, and independent life and studying atmosphere, made me feel like a duck to water. I had grown up a lot there. At first I was in the ecology and environment department, after one year I was chose into the biology (base) program, which is one of the best major in this University. In addition, I took part in a lot of recreation activities, such as playing pool, reading novels, browsing on internet, singing in the KTV, go shopping and so on. I made many good friends also, because I exhibited most of my ego attributes at that time, those friends were attracted by my personality charm, and they are precious fortune to me. I skipped a lot of classes, maybe because I dislike to be tied in nature, and thus, went to class or self-study, let me led a substantial and efficient life. In order to make money for my daily expense, I worked as a tutor for a lot of junior and high school student, in addition, I worked as a waitress in the restaurant. I won 3 times of 2nd class scholarship. For the enrichment and fun, I greatly satisfied with my university life. There was also a lot pressure, but I was not collapsed, instead, I was more and more powerful! Due to the good performance on my grades, I was recommended for admission into Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences in my last year. To summarize my university life: more dreams, more choices! I had been hard working on my major courses, and also dug into English extensively, and I learnt some Japanese too, and eventually those all put wings on my dreams!
I entered in Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sep, 2005, and with other young guys embraced their own dreams, my dream was more colorful. In these 3 years, I truly got in touch with scientific research project, including the practical theory and detailed investigation techniques and so on. Compare to past unconfident in my major, I suddenly found that I was gifted on research, and my interest lies in discovering and exploring mysterious biological phenomena, and explaining those occult that hide behind our eyes. Looking forward to the advanced technology and freedom and active science atmosphere outside, the idea for studying abroad grew little by little. Dare not to delay, I prepared for my master’s thesis and GRE and TOFEL test at the same time. In no more than half a year, I took the two tests, and the grades were too good to be true. You know what not so many people can achieve these 2 tests in so short time, of course, if without those years’ diligent studying on English, I cannot complete this. I contacted 10 foreign universities, 3 of them sent me an admission letter. Finally, I chose to pursue my PHD degree at the plant molecular and cellular biology program (PMCB) in University of Florida. At this moment, my understanding to dream is: we can go as far as our dream is!
I arrived at University of Florida in Sep, 2008. It was another process from strangeness to familiarity, from nameless to approbatory. I appreciate the difference from culture background, and the change in teaching style, and soon I fell in love with the academic atmosphere which is aggressive, diversified but conciliatory, and speculative-free. The more challenge everyday, the more progress! Only one year, I feel that I have had a great improvement in my major. What makes me feel great is that my interest in biology has been increasing day by day, and I will devote myself in biology to explore the mystery. Indeed, pressure is everywhere, but when you learnt how to adjust the relation between yourself and pressure with impersonal and rational attitude, you can achieve a qualitative leap at every progress. I expect myself can make special and valuable contribution to the sublime science field, which means I have to continuously renovate my ideas, thoughts, and belief, and continuously maintain creative ability. Always I have an un-definable sense of mission, while I adhere to it, it became indeterminate. What’s the mission on earth that calling for me to fulfill? Let's wait and see what happens. Now my dream declaration is: to dream with serious selectivity, and to pursue with careful plan.
Through it all, difficulties or easiness, it all holds in oneself and is arranged by destiny. Simply, not all my choices have been undergoing very carefully plan and consideration, sometimes I just followed others, and sometimes it was just a flash idea. I believe that not everything can be fully planned in your life, and it is more likely a mixed process of planning and experiencing, while whether it goes well or not depends on your intelligence and opportunity. Fortunately, my dream always goes with me, it is gradually clear but still far away. Let me take the following sentence as a gift to everyone: navigating with your dream, no matter to sail through wind and waves or to ride peacefully, you will find your dreamy harbor.
From 1998 to 2008, it was my decade. During the decade, Guyang 1st high school went through lots and lots alterations as well: the renovation of the teaching building, the change from mixed junior and senior school into senior school only, the renewing of school teachers and leaders, and also the circulation of students, and so on. To be consistent from beginning to end, our common goal is: to work hard on educating more and more unique talented students who are going to serve for our society! However, the purpose cannot be realized without industrious teachers and diligent students. What’s more important is the support from various circles of our society. No matter yesterday or tomorrow, the supportiveness on education is an investment which makes big profits with a small capital, and even more it is a project which benefits to the people and society in a long term. Under the new circumstances, sticking to our school motto as well as constructing ‘freedom, independent, and self-creative’ academic atmosphere is more able to embody our fundamental task on basic education and our society’s essential requirements to the quality of our talented students.
Hereby express my blessing and acknowledgement, and I wish my Alma Mater to get better and better and make remarkable achievements forever.
