06年侃哥英文小自传

上图是我本科读英文专业时，班上仅有的四枚男生（自左向右：Meeno--澳大利亚定居；Jinglu--贵州公职；Maye--中信银行；侃哥本人）；本文完成于2006年8月11日，记录了我人生中第一个chapter。那时的我刚刚从大学毕业，踏入社会，笔触和心态都还很青涩，大家莫见怪😁。06到现在，我在杭州这个城市奋斗了差不多10年，这10年是我人生的第二个chapter，从一个培训机构的小老师，做到主管、总监，再到公立学校任教学负责人，最后离职创业。有机会再写个总结。

My name is Kevin and I'm 24 years old. I weight 136 pounds, and am about 6 foot and 2 inches tall. With black hair, dark eyes and yellow skin, I’m a pure Chinese guy, of which I am very proud. I see myself as an emotionally strong person. I usually never get worked up about things or overreact in most situations. I'm calm and mellow and don't let my worries get to me. One down side of me being like this is that it makes me lazy. I have a bad habit in just letting things go, and doing stuff the last minute or even not doing it at all. Another one of my weaknesses is that I'm very shy around people I don't really know. I'm also quiet around people I don't know which makes me seem opposite of the way my personality really is.

Thank God, I was born and brought up healthily and happily in a family where there is a lot of love every single day. My father is a civil servant, working for the local government, whereas my mother is a shopkeeper, selling clothes in a boutique. Three of us constitute a little but super sweet family. MY parents are at once tender and stern to me. What I appreciate them my whole life is that, during my childhood, they lost no chance in developing my ability of independence. I was requested to wash my own clothes, go to school by myself and make my own decisions etc. They tried to inform me the importance of being independent. In return, I learned to be a lot more responsible about many things at a very young age. The influence is markedly far-reaching I can feel. Now, I haven’t slightest difficulty in managing to survive in college life. Thanks to my parents’ idea of independence, I’ve formed somewhat my attitude towards life: if my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

The schools I went to were, No.1 Experiment Primary School, Phoenix Middle School, and Flourish High School. It's hard to remember much from elementary school but what I do remember is that I made a good many friends and usually stayed out of trouble. I still hang out with some people who I went to school with back then. My middle school days were good. I made quite a few new friends and did well in all my classes. My first year of middle school was when we moved out of my family to the dormitory. I enjoyed most real freedom for almost 3 years then I had later curfews in high school because, you know, we have to prepare ourselves for the most vital college entrance examination. And shouldering many stresses, taking many pains, on the way of striving for better college, I made it at last. I got very high marks in that exam. However, to my big surprise, I missed my ideal university, just several points below their entry level. At that moment, I was extremely sad and crying and persistently asking my parents why I would be born in this populous country full of intense competition, why God would treat me so unfair. They did their best to cheer me up though they were as sad as I was.

Luckily, I successfully got over it due to my sort of iron will. With great shame and bigger ambitions, I came here, Tianjin Foreign Studies University, which is a typical so-called second-class university. I still can clearly recall the words I said to my parents before I moved here, “Dad, mom, Put you hearts at ease, I won’t let your down.” These years I have been striving to keep my promise. I always study hard and work hard. In study, I seek for the pure and real essence of my major, making progress academically and morally. I attend the lectures available every chance I get. I make best of all the valuable materials to improve and enrich my studies. What’s more, I joined a lot of student organizations and other communities.

One value I always try to keep up is to have fun no matter what you do. I also try to be nice to others, honest, loyal, and responsible. The philosophy I live by is that "You only live once" and to make the most out of everything you do. I never let any thing pass me by. I think what makes me unique has just been written above. I felt really good to write my autobiography. It made me sad and happy. It helped me recall things. Hopefully I will write more beautiful story about myself in the future.
