Every summer hundreds of thousands of young students attend the college
entrance examination, lighting hard to be among the lucky ones to enter universities.
But have this large crowd asked themselves such a question: why do you want to go to university?
It will be dangerous if so many people try so hard to do something without clear propose.
For me, going to university can fulfill three important proposes.
The most direct motive for going to university is to secure a good job in the future.
With the largest population in the world,
China is certain to be a gathering place of labor force.When there is more than enough labor force,
one hats to be extraordinary in order to succeed in the job market.As not all young people
can go to university now, such an educational experience is sure to guarantee some advantage.
If you open a classified advertisement,you may find that most of the well-paying jobs require
a university degree or higher.Therefore, without university education, you cannot possibly
find a decent job to support yourself and your family.
Besides good job and income, a more important motive for going to university is to acquire
knowledge.Since high school I have become increasingly interested in learning knowledge.
I was usually fascinated by what teachers taught in various causes, and this curiosity drives me
to know more. I have found that things taught in high school are just on very basic level.
If I want to dig deeper, the best place is here at university. With the help of professors
and books, I can find the knowledge more thoroughly anti systematically. I won't be satisfied
with my life unless I can satisfy my curiosity for knowledge in university.
The most profound motive for going to university is to make some contribution. Due to the influence
of my paresis,I do not just want to support myself in the society; I also want to do something
for the society. Of course I don't have to go to university in order to make this contribution,
but 1 find that more education can surely help me du it better.History reveals that those who have
made more contribution are invariably better educated. Great figures like Newton, Einstein are all
well educated.How can I make more contribution without university education?
Therefore, three motives drive me into the gate of my university. I come here for a good job,
for more knowledge, and most importantly, far better contribution.I am sure with the knowledge
I learn here, 1 will achieve the other two purposes. And I am also sure that other people will
also find university education rewarding to their life.
