Grab the opportunity. Interview

This Tuesday, just 5 minutes before our Biology midterm, I have joined the interview for represents of CGU university to the international meeting. Actually, I have been hesitating about whether to attend it or not for two reasons. The first one, the date of the interview is just right on the day we are going to have the midterm of Biology. According to my experience, I can hardly brush through my Brooker just one day before the exam. Joining the interview, and maybe I can’t get well-prepared on my midterm and would get a horrible grade…The other reason is that I haven’t got my information needed in the interview ready. What I should prepare is my biography, the motivation of my being the represents, and most terribly, my ability of speaking English or having an English speech. How can I use the limited time to do such plenty of works= = So, eventually I have decided to give up on last Sunday.

However, the minister of M.S.A, Zen msn me on Sunday night, saying that there’s one vacancy so that I can have a try in the interview. Though I didn’t want to join at all now, but Zen just persuaded me to take it just as mock exam…(In fact, I thought that I could not refuse it because that I have just sent an email to him last Friday…) So I just started preparing my information just right the time. I stayed up late till about 3 or 4 o’clock that night…= =which makes me so tired next day Orz

Tuesday afternoon, during the military training class I kept memorizing my Biology knowledge, such as the structure of ATP, and so on. I thought that though I don’t have sufficient time to brush through it twice, I have tried my best to prepare for this midterm. I studied harder than what I did last semester, even doing more exercises on the Internet. It would be destiny if I didn’t get more points than before. After class dismissed, I grabbed a bread and got ready to enter the room for participants.

Everyone should arrived ten minutes before the English interview to draw out the topic of impromptu speech. I got “talking about my favorite sport,” that not quite a difficult topic. But because it has been such a long time since I did an impromptu speech last time, thoughts in my brain are just in a mess. I was so nervous before I got to enter the meeting room. However, the time when I entered it, I got relaxed because that the two teachers who gonna listen to me was quite friendly. Eventually I had finished my speech, notwithstanding it being not so frequent.
But during the Chinese interviewing, the teachers asked a lot of difficult questions which I cannot correctly answer it. But my chemistry said that I had did well. It really consoled me:)

Two days later, I had got the result of the interview: I failed to be one of the present. I had checked the list, and finding that most of the presents are more senior than we freshmen by more than three years. So it’s OK and I’m pleasant because that I have tried my best, and I’m satisfied with my expression. Though I didn’t get the ticket to join the meeting, I think that the most precious thing is that I have stepped out to try it. It’s quite an improvement to me:)

Grab the opportunity, and I won’t be regretful of no trying it :)
