第 13 期【THU. 枫华正茂】敢于尝试，突破自我

敢于尝试，突破自我

春光明媚，风和日丽，遥想上学期，历尽层层选拔，我成功进入初中部的“邓颖超班”，激动和欣喜之余，挑战也正慢慢靠近我！

开学伊始，我们就迎来了枫叶一年一度的枫叶杯英语演讲比赛。班主任为了让我们都能够参与其中，全员报名了这次演讲比赛，大家也都赞同老师的想法，跃跃欲试！班里的同学都在抓紧每一分每一秒熟悉自己的稿子，与此同时，我却在球场上尽情的挥洒着汗水，明天就要开赛了，我下午才得知这个消息。九级的同学们都已经将演讲稿完成并流利的背了下来，我却连一篇像样的稿子都没有，要写一篇稿子，修改，并背下来，我怎么算时间都不够？演讲比赛又迫在眉睫，再说了，我自从来海枫以来，演讲比赛算是每次都有我的身影，但是，初赛这道大门，一次次残忍地将我堵在了复赛之外，更不外乎决赛了。

在这种种原因的鼓动下，我终于溃败了，我选择了逃避，但是我还是让妈妈把我去年的演讲稿发给老师以防万一。比赛当天，我跑到班主任办公室，并跟班主任说明了原因及我想弃赛的想法，但出乎意料的是，王老师拒绝了我的请求，并对我说“你哪怕是拿稿子读，也要上。”从办公室出来我心中忐忑不安，我本来想用妈妈发给老师的稿子，但是我觉得那篇太简单。无奈之下，我只好向同学借了一篇稿子来，到了晚上6:00，一想比赛马上就要开始了，我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，一遍又一遍的读自己的稿子，想将它给背下来，但是焦虑在我脑中上蹿下跳，我怎么也静不下心来，同时，也导致我无论怎么努力，稿子的记忆就像一团散沙，在我脑中，一阵风吹来就散了，我心中焦躁不安，负面情绪也如一个沙漏一般，随着时间一点点的流逝，逐渐积累，我不断的开始有了懊恼、烦躁的极端情绪，在这些坏家伙的鼓舞下，我再次向老师提出弃权，我跑到讲台上，跟老师说我实在是背不下来，我本以为成功了，心里就开始暗暗窃喜了，但是我才高兴没一会儿，老师就把我叫到了门口，并对我说了一番话，这番话彻底地改变了我的想法，“老师就问你一个问题，自己的去年的稿子还是借来的稿子，你要用哪篇稿子？选一个！”我看到老师坚定的眼神和语气，瞬间打消了放弃的念头。于是，老师并让我一个人到办公室去背稿子，办公室中没了教室里的喧闹，心也静下来了，出乎意料的是我竟只用了10分钟，便将整篇稿子一字不差的背下来了。这是老师走进办公室，看到我在背稿子，拍了拍我的肩膀，语重心长地说“这次只是一次初赛，你未来的人生路上会有很多你不想面对也必须面对的事，逃避不能解决任何问题，这次就算你最后是拿稿子读下来的也会比逃避后获得短暂的安逸收获得多！”我也说出了自己怕给邓班丢脸的想法，但老师告诉我不去才是给自己和给班级丢脸，要勇于面对挑战！

最后，我从容地走进考场，一字不差且流利得将稿子背了下来，我从考场出来便怀着满腔的激动跑去将这个喜讯传给了老师，经历这次事情，我超越了自我，不论最后结果如何，我都心满意足！收获了经验，突破了自己，就是最大的荣誉！

是啊，每一个人都有想放弃的时候，但是这就像一条分叉路口，你的每一次不同的选择都会带你走向一个不同高度的人生终点。在“邓颖超班”学霸如云的环境里，我更应该严格要求自己，不放过任何能锻炼自己变得更好的机会！

Dare to try and break through yourself

Spring is bright, the wind is bright and the sun is beautiful, think far back last semester, through all layers of selection, I successfully entered the middle of the "Deng Yingchao class", excited and joyful, the challenge is also slowly approaching me!

At the beginning of school, we ushered in Maple Leaf's annual Maple Cup English speech Competition. Class teacher in order to allow us to participate in which, all members signed up for this speech contest, we also agree with the teacher's idea, eager to try! The students in the class are grasping every minute and every second familiar with their manuscripts, at the same time, I am on the pitch to the full spread of sweat, tomorrow will start the game, I only learned the news in the afternoon. Level 9 students have finished and memorized the speech fluently, but I did not even have a decent manuscript, to write a manuscript, modify, and memorize it, how can I calculate the time is not enough? The speech competition is imminent again, besides, since I came to Haifeng, the speech competition has been me every time, but, the first race this door, again and again cruelly blocked me outside the rematch, is nothing more than the final.

Inspired by all these reasons, I was finally defeated. I chose to escape, but I asked my mother to send my last year's speech to my teacher just in case. On the day of the competition, I went to the head teacher's office and explained with the class director why I wanted to abandon the competition, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wang refused my request and said to me, "you have to read it if you want to read it."

Coming out of the office, I was nervous. I wanted to use my mother's manuscript for the teacher, but I thought it was too simple. But under the helplessness, I had to borrow a manuscript from my classmates. At 6: 00 p.m., as soon as I wanted to start the competition, I was so anxious as the ant on the hot pot that I read my manuscript over and over again, and wanted to memorize it. But anxiety jumped up and down in my head, and I couldn't calm my heart.

At the same time, it also led me, no matter how hard I tried, the memory of the manuscript was like a loose sand. In my head, a gust of wind broke away, and my heart was anxious and restless. Negative emotions are also like an hourglass, as time goes by, gradually accumulating, I constantly began to have a chagrin, irritable extreme mood, inspired by these bad guys, I again proposed abstention to the teacher, I ran to the podium, I told the teacher that I really couldn't memorize it.

I thought I had succeeded, and I began to secretly rejoice, but soon after I was happy, the teacher called me to the door and said something to me, which completely changed my mind. "the teacher just asked you a question, his own last year's manuscript or borrowed manuscript, which manuscript would you like to use? Pick one! " I saw the teacher's firm eyes and tone, instantly put an end to the idea of giving up. So, the teacher and asked me to go to the office to recite the manuscript, the office without the noise in the classroom, the heart also quieted down, unexpectedly, I only took 10 minutes, then the whole manuscript to memorize the word-to-word down.

This is when the teacher walked into the office and saw me reciting my manuscript, patting me on the shoulder, saying with great care, "this is only a preliminary race, and there will be a lot of things you don't want to face and have to face on your way to life in the future." Avoiding doesn't solve any problem, even if you end up reading it. I also said that I fear of losing face for our class, but the teacher told me not to go to the class is the most humiliating, to face the challenge! I was so surprised and happy that it spread all over me.

In a few moments, I came to the stage, I calmly put on a word and fluently recited the manuscript, as soon as I came out of the examination room, I ran out with full of excitement to pass on this good news to the teacher, after this thing, I exceeded myself. No matter what the end result, I am satisfied! Gained experience, broke through their own, is the greatest honor!

Everyone wants to give up, but it's like a fork in the road. Every time you make a different choice, it takes you to a different height of your life.
