Shining Youth: A Journey to Chase Light on Campus
The September sunshine shines through the mottled leaves and shines on the campus of Yuying High School. Lin Xiao walks into the campus briskly with her schoolbag on her back, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the new semester. Today is the first day of the second year of high school, and Lin Xiao secretly vows that she must take her academic performance to a higher level this year. Lin Xiao has always had good grades, but mathematics is her weakness. As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard several classmates gathered together to discuss the math competition they would participate in during the summer vacation. She felt a little disappointed because she didn't even qualify to participate because her math grades were not outstanding enough. At this time, her deskmate Su Ran came over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't be sad, let's work hard together in the new semester, and we will definitely improve in math!" Su Ran has excellent grades, especially in math. Her words rekindled Lin Xiao's fighting spirit. In a small test in class, Lin Xiao's math score was still not ideal. Looking at the bright red score on the test paper, she couldn't help but redden her eyes. Su Ran comforted her: "Xiao Xiao, don't be discouraged, let's analyze the wrong questions together and find the problem." So, every day after school, Su Ran would stay to help Lin Xiao with math. From the most basic formula derivation to the complex problem-solving ideas, Su Ran patiently explained. Lin Xiao also studied very hard. Her notes were densely written, and she practiced every wrong question repeatedly. At the same time, the school's art club began to recruit new members. Lin Xiao has loved singing since she was a child. After much hesitation, she signed up for the choir selection. On the day of the selection, she stood on the stage and was very nervous. When the music sounded, she took a deep breath and sang. Her singing was crisp and moving, like a clear spring in the mountains, and the judges nodded one after another. In the end, Lin Xiao was successfully selected for the choir. In the choir, Lin Xiao met many like-minded friends, including the school grass Chen Yu. Chen Yu is not only handsome, but also plays the guitar well. During a break in a rehearsal, Chen Yu took the initiative to come over and chat with Lin Xiao: "Your singing voice is so beautiful, we can work together in the future." Lin Xiao blushed and nodded. Since then, the two often discussed music and rehearsed together. Gradually, a hazy feeling quietly grew between them. However, campus life is not all smooth sailing. With the increase of academic pressure, Lin Xiao found that she was somewhat overwhelmed between choir rehearsals and studies. In a math test, her grades dropped again. The teacher called her to the office and said earnestly: "Lin Xiao, you have great potential, but you must arrange your time reasonably and not delay your studies because of club activities." Lin Xiao felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to give up the choir, but she was worried that her studies would be affected. Back in the classroom, Su Ran saw her troubles: "Xiao Xiao, let's find a way together, and we will definitely be able to take care of both. You can use the breaks and lunch breaks to do math problems, and review other subjects after the rehearsal in the evening." With the help of Su Ran, Lin Xiao made a detailed study plan. Every day, she came to school early and finished part of her homework before morning reading; during breaks, when others were resting and playing, she was doing math exercises; in the evening, after the choir rehearsal, she went home to review her homework until late at night. Although it was very hard, Lin Xiao never thought of giving up. Days passed, and Lin Xiao's efforts gradually paid off. In another math test, her grades improved significantly. The teacher praised her in class, and her classmates also cast envious eyes. Lin Xiao was very happy, she knew that this was the result of her hard work. On the choir side, they also received an important performance task-representing the school to participate in the city's middle school art performance. For this performance, the choir members practiced hard day and night. Lin Xiao and Chen Yu collaborated on an original song, Chen Yu was responsible for guitar accompaniment, and Lin Xiao sang. They used their spare time to rehearse repeatedly and constantly run in. On the day of the performance, Lin Xiao wore a white dress and stood on the stage, radiant. Chen Yu sat aside, concentrating on playing the guitar. Their singing echoed throughout the venue, and the audience was mesmerized. After the performance, there was thunderous applause from the audience. They succeeded! After this performance, Lin Xiao became famous in the school, and her musical talent was recognized by more people. But she did not become proud of it. Instead, she worked harder to study and practice singing. In the following days, Lin Xiao was busy preparing for the final exams while preparing for the next performance of the choir. Although busy, her life was fulfilling and happy. After the final exams, the results were announced. Lin Xiao's grades were among the best in the class, and her math grades improved significantly. Looking at the transcript, Lin Xiao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that this year's efforts were not in vain. In terms of music, she also received a lot of honors and became a core member of the school choir. In this beautiful youth, Lin Xiao worked hard on the road of academic and musical dreams. She grew up with her classmates and pursued her dreams together. The days when she racked her brains for a math problem and the days when she sweated in the choir have become the most precious memories of her youth. She believes that as long as she works hard, the future will be more wonderful, just like the never-ending sunshine on campus, always shining with the light of hope.
The warmth of flowers and dogs
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the streets of the town. The school bell had just rang, and the children poured out of the campus like a tide. Xiaohua was carrying her schoolbag, humming a cheerful little tune, and skipping on the way home. Today in school, she learned a new ancient poem and was praised by the teacher, which made her feel particularly happy. As she walked, Xiaohua suddenly heard a faint "woohoo" sound. She stopped and looked around, and found a small figure shivering in the grass by the roadside. Xiaohua walked closer with curiosity and found that it was a dirty puppy. The puppy's eyes were watery, its fur was messy, and it was covered with mud, looking very pitiful. Xiaohua squatted down, gently stroked the puppy's head, and asked: "Little dog, why are you here alone? Where is your owner?" The puppy seemed to understand what she said, raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness, and "woohoo" cried twice again. Xiaohua's heart was immediately caught by the puppy. She thought: This puppy must have been lost. It is so small and has no one to take care of it. How pitiful it is. If I take it home, it won't have to starve or freeze. However, Xiaohua was a little hesitant. She knew her mother didn't like small animals very much and was worried that her mother would not agree to adopt this puppy.
