Chapter 218 - 210 Look Up
Perhaps it is because summer vacation is approaching, the school forum has become active again.
This time, the buzz is entirely due to the fact that the rank one of the second year has finally changed hands.
The person who posted the message did so anonymously, but you can tell from the tone that it is a girl.
The original post is quite long, consisting of several paragraphs—
Before class this afternoon, I heard that Li Qingran from class one had surpassed the perennial first ranker. Truth be told, although it wasn’t me who ranked first, I was truly excited all afternoon and even now I can’t sleep after getting home.
What sticks with me the most is something a teacher said back when I was in middle school. He said: "Girls’ mental agility is usually quicker than boys’ in elementary and middle school. But when it really comes to high school, the mental agility of most girls cannot match that of boys, especially when they choose science subjects, it’s easy to see the gap."
Perhaps I’m being oversensitive, but that statement really left a deep psychological shadow on me. I didn’t believe what that teacher said, yet I lacked the means to prove him wrong.
It is also because of what that teacher said, that when choosing subjects in high school, I deliberately chose science. With so many students in high school science, I refuse to believe that the first rank will always be boys.
Then, I watched as Xie Ying’an ranked first time and again over the past two years. Just when I was almost about to believe it and was psychologically breaking down, Li Qingran gave me such a big surprise.
Now, I really want to tell that teacher, he was truly wrong. Look! Our Li Qingran, inconspicuous for two years, still managed to emerge on top.
That teacher, as an educator, just because of such a dismissive remark, how big a shadow can it cast in a student’s heart? I don’t know if he has ever thought about this...
