ESSAY正文

My Ye-Ye always wears a red baseball cap. I think he likes the vivid color—bright and sanguine, like himself. When Ye-Ye came from China to visit us seven years ago, he brought his red cap with him and every night for six months, it sat on the stairway railing post of my house, waiting to be loyally placed back on Ye-Ye’s head the next morning. He wore the cap everywhere: around the house, where he performed magic tricks with it to make my little brother laugh; to the corner store, where he bought me popsicles before using his hat to wipe the beads of summer sweat off my neck. Today whenever I see a red hat, I think of my Ye-Ye and his baseball cap, and I smile.

Ye-Ye is the Mandarin word for “grandfather.” My Ye-Ye is a simple, ordinary person—not rich, not “successful”—but he is my greatest source of inspiration and I idolize him. Of all the people I know, Ye-Ye has encountered the most hardship and of all the people I know, Ye-Ye is the most joyful. That these two aspects can coexist in one individual is, in my mind, truly remarkable.

Ye-Ye was an orphan. Both his parents died before he was six years old, leaving him and his older brother with no home and no family. When other children gathered to read around stoves at school, Ye-Ye and his brother walked in the bitter cold along railroad tracks, looking for used coal to sell. When other children ran home to loving parents, Ye-Ye and his brother walked along the streets looking for somewhere to sleep. Eight years later, Ye-Ye walked alone—his brother was dead.

Ye-Ye managed to survive, and in the meanwhile taught himself to read, write, and do arithmetic. Life was a blessing, he told those around him with a smile.

Years later, Ye-Ye’s job sent him to the Gobi Desert, where he and his fellow workers labored for twelve hours a day. The desert wind was merciless; it would snatch their tent in the middle of the night and leave them without supply the next morning. Every year, harsh weather took the lives of some fellow workers.

After eight years, Ye-Ye was transferred back to the city where his wife lay sick in bed. At the end of a twelve-hour workday, Ye-Ye took care of his sick wife and three young children. He sat with the children and told them about the wide, starry desert sky and mysterious desert lives. Life was a blessing, he told them with a smile.

But life was not easy; there was barely enough money to keep the family from starving. Yet, my dad and his sisters loved going with Ye-Ye to the market. He would buy them little luxuries that their mother would never indulge them in: a small bag of sunflower seeds for two cents, a candy each for three cents. Luxuries as they were, Ye-Ye bought them without hesitation. Anything that could put a smile on the children’s faces and a skip in their steps was priceless.

Ye-Ye still goes to the market today. At the age of seventy-eight, he bikes several kilometers each week to buy bags of fresh fruits and vegetables, and then bikes home to share them with his neighbors. He keeps a small patch of strawberries and an apricot tree. When the fruit is ripe, he opens his gate and invites all the children in to pick and eat. He is Ye-Ye to every child in the neighborhood.

I had always thought that I was sensible and self-aware. But nothing has made me stare as hard in the mirror as I did after learning about the cruel past that Ye-Ye had suffered and the cheerful attitude he had kept throughout those years. I thought back to all the times when I had gotten upset. My mom forgot to pick me up from the bus station. My computer crashed the day before an assignment was due. They seemed so trivial and childish, and I felt deeply ashamed of myself.

Now, whenever I encounter an obstacle that seems overwhelming, I think of Ye-Ye; I see him in his red baseball cap, smiling at me. Like a splash of cool water, his smile rouses me from grief, and reminds me how trivial my worries are and how generous life has been. Today I keep a red baseball cap at the railing post at home where Ye-Ye used to put his every night. Whenever I see the cap, I think of my Ye-Ye, smiling in his red baseball cap, and I smile. Yes, Ye-Ye. Life is a blessing.

點評：

這位同學用爺爺棒球帽的故事向讀者展示對他來說什么是重要的，并展示了他將為校園生活做出貢獻的關(guān)鍵人格特征。盡管大部分文字都在講述爺爺?shù)膫饔?，但這篇文章不僅僅是關(guān)于他的。

爺爺?shù)恼麄€故事是最后幾段的前奏，揭示了這位同學性格中最重要的方面。就像在生活中一樣，我們祖先的過去是后代歷史的前奏，而后代的歷史還在不斷涌現(xiàn)。這種微妙的平行，乍看之下并不明顯，但對于讓招生官了解這個同學的性格發(fā)展起了很關(guān)鍵的作用，也展示了他深入了解事物本質(zhì)的天賦他強調(diào)了自己的韌性和從爺爺那里獲得的積極心態(tài)。這些品質(zhì)對于未來的哈佛學生來說無疑是必不可少的，并展示了他在校園內(nèi)外體現(xiàn)“生活是一種祝?！钡哪芰?。

我們可以學習一下他的文章結(jié)構(gòu)，講好一個故事，同時也展現(xiàn)自己的性格特征。同學們需要注意的是，在行文過程中千萬不要出現(xiàn)語法和單詞的錯誤，寫完后最好再檢查幾遍。

>>想試試以自己的水平能申請到什么層次的大學？可以使用下面的留學志愿參考系統(tǒng)一鍵定位。

使用方法：把你的GPA、雅思成績、專業(yè)名稱、院校背景（211/985/雙非）等信息輸入到留學志愿參考系統(tǒng)中，系統(tǒng)會自動從數(shù)據(jù)庫中匹配出與你情況相似的同學案例，看看他們成功申請到了哪些名校，這樣子就可以對自己進行精準的定位了。

留學規(guī)劃和留學申請是一項復雜的長期工程，不能片面聽取網(wǎng)友的交流，更不能輕信留學中介的說辭（快速查詢留學中介口碑）。留學監(jiān)理網(wǎng)由有20多年國際教育行業(yè)管理和服務經(jīng)驗的前教育部官員胡本未老師創(chuàng)立，得到新華社和央視網(wǎng)的高度評價。留學監(jiān)理網(wǎng)免費為學生提供留學咨詢規(guī)劃建議、推薦靠譜的留學機構(gòu)、審核留學方案和中介服務協(xié)議，受學生委托提供監(jiān)理服務、督辦留學中介的服務過程并“先行賠付”。
