This is just my personal reflection; please do not view it if you are not interested.

The short, week-long spring break is coming to an end. As a rare period of adjustment in the busy semester, it has played its role to the fullest. This week, I not only adjusted my study pace and completed the planning for the next cycle, but I also had the privilege of witnessing the election of the President of the People's Republic of China. It was a very fulfilling week.

Just kidding. Sitting in the car on the way back from Philadelphia, I suddenly remembered something I hadn't said in a long time, and it resonated with me deeply: I will remember anyone who has been kind to me, even if they've only offered a helping hand; I will repay them tenfold in the future. How they treat me now, I will repay a hundredfold when I am fortunate enough to achieve success. This is something I said during my last low point, five years ago. No one is perfect, and we need mutual support when climbing to the top. Some people around me find me unpredictable, but it's just that I'm not good at pretending and don't want to pretend. A direct approach might be hard for others to accept, so I close myself off, waiting for kindred spirits to appear—and that wait has been long. Sometimes, it's better to be unknown than to be known even a little.

Reflecting on how I overcame previous difficulties, I decided to make a small change.

This morning I received a private message after waking up. I was delighted to hear that a junior student needed help applying for the "Top Ten Outstanding College Students" award. It's harvest time again, but it's crucial to stay focused and not let honor go to one's head, leading to unnecessary detours. In the evening, I chatted with my friend Gu, who spoke about the power of role models. She mentioned a student who, because of a GRE vocabulary book she gave him, applied to several prestigious American universities and was nominated for this year's "Top Ten Outstanding College Students" award. I was a little surprised, but also very proud. I remember around this time last year, someone asked why I tirelessly gave lectures and chatted with juniors. I said I didn't know much, just some experience from taking detours. If anyone could be inspired by what I said and embark on the road to success, I would be very happy.

One year, I reached a low point, struggling and wavering. Seeing my younger schoolmates break through and take off filled me with motivation.

The surrounding swamps filled one with despair, but ahead lay a dark and deep path, and the distant sunlight warmed one's heart.
