ESSAY正文
My Ye-Ye always wears a red baseball cap. I think he likes the vivid color—bright and sanguine, like himself. When Ye-Ye came from China to visit us seven years ago, he brought his red cap with him and every night for six months, it sat on the stairway railing post of my house, waiting to be loyally placed back on Ye-Ye’s head the next morning. He wore the cap everywhere: around the house, where he performed magic tricks with it to make my little brother laugh; to the corner store, where he bought me popsicles before using his hat to wipe the beads of summer sweat off my neck. Today whenever I see a red hat, I think of my Ye-Ye and his baseball cap, and I smile.
Ye-Ye is the Mandarin word for “grandfather.” My Ye-Ye is a simple, ordinary person—not rich, not “successful”—but he is my greatest source of inspiration and I idolize him. Of all the people I know, Ye-Ye has encountered the most hardship and of all the people I know, Ye-Ye is the most joyful. That these two aspects can coexist in one individual is, in my mind, truly remarkable.
Ye-Ye was an orphan. Both his parents died before he was six years old, leaving him and his older brother with no home and no family. When other children gathered to read around stoves at school, Ye-Ye and his brother walked in the bitter cold along railroad tracks, looking for used coal to sell. When other children ran home to loving parents, Ye-Ye and his brother walked along the streets looking for somewhere to sleep. Eight years later, Ye-Ye walked alone—his brother was dead.
Ye-Ye managed to survive, and in the meanwhile taught himself to read, write, and do arithmetic. Life was a blessing, he told those around him with a smile.
Years later, Ye-Ye’s job sent him to the Gobi Desert, where he and his fellow workers labored for twelve hours a day. The desert wind was merciless; it would snatch their tent in the middle of the night and leave them without supply the next morning. Every year, harsh weather took the lives of some fellow workers.
After eight years, Ye-Ye was transferred back to the city where his wife lay sick in bed. At the end of a twelve-hour workday, Ye-Ye took care of his sick wife and three young children. He sat with the children and told them about the wide, starry desert sky and mysterious desert lives. Life was a blessing, he told them with a smile.
But life was not easy; there was barely enough money to keep the family from starving. Yet, my dad and his sisters loved going with Ye-Ye to the market. He would buy them little luxuries that their mother would never indulge them in: a small bag of sunflower seeds for two cents, a candy each for three cents. Luxuries as they were, Ye-Ye bought them without hesitation. Anything that could put a smile on the children’s faces and a skip in their steps was priceless.
Ye-Ye still goes to the market today. At the age of seventy-eight, he bikes several kilometers each week to buy bags of fresh fruits and vegetables, and then bikes home to share them with his neighbors. He keeps a small patch of strawberries and an apricot tree. When the fruit is ripe, he opens his gate and invites all the children in to pick and eat. He is Ye-Ye to every child in the neighborhood.
I had always thought that I was sensible and self-aware. But nothing has made me stare as hard in the mirror as I did after learning about the cruel past that Ye-Ye had suffered and the cheerful attitude he had kept throughout those years. I thought back to all the times when I had gotten upset. My mom forgot to pick me up from the bus station. My computer crashed the day before an assignment was due. They seemed so trivial and childish, and I felt deeply ashamed of myself.
Now, whenever I encounter an obstacle that seems overwhelming, I think of Ye-Ye; I see him in his red baseball cap, smiling at me. Like a splash of cool water, his smile rouses me from grief, and reminds me how trivial my worries are and how generous life has been. Today I keep a red baseball cap at the railing post at home where Ye-Ye used to put his every night. Whenever I see the cap, I think of my Ye-Ye, smiling in his red baseball cap, and I smile. Yes, Ye-Ye. Life is a blessing.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
這位同學(xué)用爺爺棒球帽的故事向讀者展示對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)什么是重要的,并展示了他將為校園生活做出貢獻(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵人格特征。盡管大部分文字都在講述爺爺?shù)膫饔?,但這篇文章不僅僅是關(guān)于他的。
爺爺?shù)恼麄€(gè)故事是最后幾段的前奏,揭示了這位同學(xué)性格中最重要的方面。就像在生活中一樣,我們祖先的過(guò)去是后代歷史的前奏,而后代的歷史還在不斷涌現(xiàn)。這種微妙的平行,乍看之下并不明顯,但對(duì)于讓招生官了解這個(gè)同學(xué)的性格發(fā)展起了很關(guān)鍵的作用,也展示了他深入了解事物本質(zhì)的天賦他強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己的韌性和從爺爺那里獲得的積極心態(tài)。這些品質(zhì)對(duì)于未來(lái)的哈佛學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)無(wú)疑是必不可少的,并展示了他在校園內(nèi)外體現(xiàn)“生活是一種祝?!钡哪芰?。
我們可以學(xué)習(xí)一下他的文章結(jié)構(gòu),講好一個(gè)故事,同時(shí)也展現(xiàn)自己的性格特征。同學(xué)們需要注意的是,在行文過(guò)程中千萬(wàn)不要出現(xiàn)語(yǔ)法和單詞的錯(cuò)誤,寫(xiě)完后最好再檢查幾遍。
>>想試試以自己的水平能申請(qǐng)到什么層次的大學(xué)?可以使用下面的留學(xué)志愿參考系統(tǒng)一鍵定位。
使用方法:把你的GPA、雅思成績(jī)、專業(yè)名稱、院校背景(211/985/雙非)等信息輸入到留學(xué)志愿參考系統(tǒng)中,系統(tǒng)會(huì)自動(dòng)從數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)中匹配出與你情況相似的同學(xué)案例,看看他們成功申請(qǐng)到了哪些名校,這樣子就可以對(duì)自己進(jìn)行精準(zhǔn)的定位了。
留學(xué)規(guī)劃和留學(xué)申請(qǐng)是一項(xiàng)復(fù)雜的長(zhǎng)期工程,不能片面聽(tīng)取網(wǎng)友的交流,更不能輕信留學(xué)中介的說(shuō)辭(快速查詢留學(xué)中介口碑)。留學(xué)監(jiān)理網(wǎng)由有20多年國(guó)際教育行業(yè)管理和服務(wù)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的前教育部官員胡本未老師創(chuàng)立,得到新華社和央視網(wǎng)的高度評(píng)價(jià)。留學(xué)監(jiān)理網(wǎng)免費(fèi)為學(xué)生提供留學(xué)咨詢規(guī)劃建議、推薦靠譜的留學(xué)機(jī)構(gòu)、審核留學(xué)方案和中介服務(wù)協(xié)議,受學(xué)生委托提供監(jiān)理服務(wù)、督辦留學(xué)中介的服務(wù)過(guò)程并“先行賠付”。
