在来康乃尔之前,我从来都认为自己是个好学生,勤奋刻苦,课上认真听讲,无论课上课下都很尊重老师。然而来康乃尔之后,我对自己的认识被摧毁得面目全非,往昔的自信离我而去,消失在每天为“生存”而挣扎的紧张气氛中。我比以前还刻苦,每天早上七点半左右就去学校,在图书馆一直呆到午夜才归。我不得不发疯般地学习,因为在我以前的学习和工作中从未涉及到这些 Before coming to Cornell, I always thought I was a good student. I was hard-working and diligent in class. I respected the teacher regardless of class. However, after coming to Cornell, my understanding of myself was destroyed beyond recognition. My confidence in the old days left me and disappeared into the tension that struck every day for survival. I worked harder than before. I went to school at around 7:30 in the morning and stayed in the library until midnight. I had to study madly because it was never involved in my previous studies and work.
