seft-introduction My name is Zhong Xiaoting. The name likes a window, through which you can have good look at my characters. “Zhong” in English is “clock”. Yes, I am a sticker to my biological clock and my daily schedule: every morning I get up at 7:00 and go to bed before 11:00 Pm. In the daytime, I will carry out my daily plans accordingly and energetically. “Xiao” is homonymic to “笑”-smile. It utters my belief that everything will turn out to be good, just keep hoping and working hard. “Ting” is homonymic to “听“-listen. It shows that I am a good listener of my friends’ happiness and sorrows, other’s advices or even criticism.

xiaoting's notebook entry: Mar 26, 2011 航行于浩瀚大海，风雨总会不期而至，往往会使人失去航行的方向，使去前进的勇气；礁石总会不时窜出，常常使人一度陷入困境，甚至是船毁人翻，何时才能“直挂云帆济沧海”？永不放弃的精神像黑夜里的一盏明灯，它指示着前进的方向，告诉我梦想的路是在哪；它是又那么的温暖，任凭黑夜如何地嘲弄风雨中奋斗的人，它总是坚定地站在你这边 —驱散黑夜的无情，驱散黑夜的冷酷。心中有那一束亮光，就会有希望！“精诚所至，金石为开”党的永不放弃的精神激励着我们在人生路上披荆斩棘，勇往直前。跌几个跟斗，摔几次跤，就爬起来几次，因为永不放弃，所以没有什么可以阻止我们追逐梦想的步伐。眼泪过后依然是晴天，风雨过后便是彩虹！ 还记得寒假立尚教育机构实习时，说到自己的梦想时——当一名英语老师，主管的那句充满不屑话：“就你？也能当英语老师？！”我很委屈地愣在那，眼泪开始打滚-那种梦想被别人狠狠地踩一脚的感觉。我开始审视自己，小心翼翼地疼惜地拭掉留在梦想上的那脚底的尘埃，我要好好看清自己与梦想的差距。我不会放弃自己的梦想，有哪些不足，就往哪些方面努力。英语口语不够流畅，就每天读《疯狂英语》，和好友用英文交流；台上气场不足，就积极参加各类的演讲比赛，认真做好每一次的课堂Presentation……我相信一份耕耘，一份收获；我相信点点努力，步步前进，我会到达梦想的彼岸的。水中的鱼儿看着倒映在水中的小树苗，嘲笑着它的渺小，殊不知它时时刻刻地在生长，努力汲取各种营养，为长成参天大树而奋斗，永不放弃！ 永不放弃的精神时时刻刻伴着我，当启明星开启白日之门时，它吹着号角，我踩着号角声，朝着梦想稳步前进；当夜晚拉下帷幕时，它安抚我劳累了一天的身心，让我带着梦想甜甜地入睡。
