Personally, I am not an easy going man. To some peers around me,especially those I acquainted with before graduation, chances are I will bawl at them if their words or behaviors seem unproper in my eyes. Or sometimes, I will become silent suddenly before them to show my disagreement and uncooperation with them. But to me, those people mean something. That's why I behave like that. Though my such attitude in some way embarrass them or get them hurt, I believe what I do is good for them. So I barely regret about what I have done.
Since I got out of college, I feel less and less people could be deemed as friends. Psychologically, I refuse to make new ones. Most people around nowadays are diappointing for their low taste and poor lifestyle though possibly I disappoint them too. Sometimes, I am more prone to missing the old friends and the times with them. I still remember the words in the books of a famous writer I adore very much which reads No filling up for lost old friends and making new friends. Those words just fit me and my true state of mind.
I yearn for my old friends and more especially while I feel disappointed with the new neighboring acquaintances. To them, I have also never stopped caring about their present situation. Those days, the outcome for the Graduate Entrence Examination was publicized. I could not help connecting with one of my high school classmates who is one of the closet friends to me. Alas, his marks are not high enough though still has some chance to attend the interview test. But, his prospect is far less optimistic. That's what I worry about most for him.
He once cheated one examination and caught at the scene. Pitifully, he paid serious price for that and was deprived of the graduation credential, which is a heavy blow for any of us colleage students. It has directly influenced his employment and future. He has tried hard to get our of the shame and compensate the qualification loss through passing the GEE. But he lacked of luck. His paper test turned out to be not ideal. And now he should face up to another significant pressure which is thrown on his back by his family.
In the countryside, most families are burdenful. His family is just one of them. Economical consideration plus the traditional concept that it's the right choice for an adult to marry but to study, he was requested by his parents to abort further education and convert to work and make up his own family. He is an obedient son and cares about his parents very much. But to give up his present dream is really suffering and cruel. It's hard to make the decision. Standing in the crossroads, which way to choose is a question. But it will be a very tough one.
On this point, it's not proper for anyone else to give him some fine suggestions to help. As a friend, beside some simple things I can offer, I just hope he will have his right choice and everything goes well in the coming days.
