Study hard and keep positive
Zhang Caiyun, a student from the School of Environment of SCNU, is going to take the examination, aiming at a university of Project 985. During the long preparation, Zhang sometime felt emotional. Slippage of review schedule, decrease of accuracy and the gap between targets upset her and made her anxious.
"Sometimes it occurred to me that my efforts would be probably in vain", she said. After temporary self-doubt, her ideal picks her up. She not only found some suitable methods to improve her efficiency, but also talked with friends. Furthermore, a call from her parents, a present from roommates, a bunch of flowers from friends and the moment of sharing foods helped her relax and overcome fatigue. “The reason we work hard is not to make the world see us, but to enable us to see a bigger world,” she hopes that the best is yet to come.

"Never let outdated views limit your promising prospect," she says. "Only do your best, and believe that hard work will pay off."
