Dash, college entrance examination, life

When I was in high school, my academic performance was a mess. When I was in the exam, I often hang high red lanterns. After the semester's exam, I always have a few tragic and refilled exams.

The only thing that is gratifying is my own sports performance. From the beginning of reading, I am the "sportsman" in the eyes of students and teachers. The basketball court is the main force of course. On the football field, I am the striker who is stealing the limelight. Track and field competitions are often Can take back a good name. I just rely on this to get into the county high school, I am not qualified for ordinary high school! Because of this, I was particularly active in the physical education class, and I was unable to raise interest in other classes. I only wanted to sleep in a faint manner.

The annual city middle school student track and field meeting is coming again. I am the natural contestant. Unlike the previous year, the sports coach Xie taught me to specialize in sprinting. In the sports meeting held in the first year of high school, I participated in the middle and long distance races and achieved good results. Why did I have to change the project when I was in high school? I can't figure out, I asked Teacher Xie. He said that I am explosive and responsive, and it is a good seed for sprinting. He also explained that the school sprint has always lacked talent and he hopes that I can change this situation. What can I say when I get there? Only practice hard! Fortunately, my middle and long-distance running results are good, and I don’t feel any difficulty in practicing. After practicing for a while, I felt that my grades were almost the same, and I was a little lax. I was dragging on in the morning sports training, sometimes I was late, and I was not as active as before.

One day, the training was over and the players were scattered. I just wanted to go, and Teacher Xie stopped me. Teacher Xie is wearing a red sportswear and is particularly eye-catching in the misty autumn wind. He asked me, do you know your 100m sprint today? I curled up and couldn't speak, I said, probably... probably......Teacher Xie said, didn't pay attention, right? Now let's take a look. I stood on the runway and set my posture. When Teacher Xie’s gun rang, I ran out like an arrow. At the end, I panted and asked Teacher X. How much time did I use? Teacher Xie handed me the stopwatch and said that it was not bad. It was only one second away from the champions of the previous Games! Yes, it’s only a second. I’m a little bit smug. I thought that when I won the runner-up in the 3,000-meter long run at the last sports meeting, it’s a 32-second difference with the champion!

Teacher Xie stared at my eyes and said in a word: "Can you know? Your achievements, in the last sports meeting, even the top 20 can not be ranked!"

I am stunned, but only a second difference. Is there such a difference? !

Teacher Xie said: "Sometimes it is only 1/100 or 1/10 seconds, you can decide whether you are successful or not. Think about what you should do."

Teacher Xie left, leaving me alone in the empty playground. The autumn wind was very cold. I clenched my fists and the joints squeaked. I felt the blood in my blood vessels boiling in the air.

More than a month before the opening of the sports meeting, with the guidance and help of Teacher Xie, I began to practice the 100-meter sprint. I know that I only have one second with the champion, but I have to pay for this difference. The efforts that most people imagined are expected to succeed.

At the city middle school student track and field meeting, I participated in the 100-meter sprint competition. The previous champion also participated. He also ran out of the previous championship when he won the championship, but this time the champion is not him, but me. I spent 100 seconds less than he used for 0.01 seconds.

Teacher Xie hugged me tightly. He said, you know? In 1996, American athlete Michael Jensen, who broke the world record of 200 meters and 400 meters in the Olympic Games, took more than a second to accelerate his performance in 10 years. It took you more than a month to reach it, you are amazing!

I know why I am amazing. After the game ended and returned to school, I used the strength of my training for study. I tried hard to learn and forced myself to improve my scores one by one. I know that it took me more than a month to get a second difference, and to make my bad performance leap, I must work harder, harder, and work harder!

My grades have improved steadily. When I was in the college entrance examination, I finally got my wish to get into an ideal university. Now, I have been working for many years. But I have never forgotten that unforgettable sprint experience. It tells me that life is like sprinting, every meager gain must be done with unexpected efforts; and a seemingly small gap is often great and ordinary. The dividing line between success and failure.
