宁波十校联考

)

Since I graduated from high school

，

I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every

r

，

making the transition(

转变

) between school and full-

time blue-

collar work during the

break never gets any a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized

，

getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is

torture.

There’re

few

people

as

self?confident

as

a

college

student

who

has

never

been

out

in

the

real

of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and fact

，

all the

classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant

，

which would jam whenever I

absent-

mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.

The most stressful thing about blue-

collar life is knowing your job could disappear

like downsizing(

裁员

) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-

workers told

me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico

，

where people

would work for 60 cents an hour.

After working 12-

hour shifts in a factory

，

the other choices have become only too I’m

back at the university

，

skipping classes and turning in lazy re-

writes seems too irresponsible after seeing

what I would be doing without the advice and public service announcements about the value of

an education that used to sound stale (out of date) now ring true.

These lessons I’m learning

，

however valuable

，

are always tinged(

带有

) with a sense of

people pass their lives in the places I briefly work

，

spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a

time.“This job pays well

，

but it’s hell on the body

，

” said one co?worker.“Study hard and keep reading

，

”

she added.

My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter

the real world for good.
