描述你所面临的最重大的挑战,以及你为克服这一挑战所采取的步骤。这个挑战对你的学业成绩有何影响?

在我年幼时,我曾经遭遇过一场重大的车祸,全身上下数十处粉碎性骨折。我成功地在医生与父母的帮助下回复了行动能力,代价是我身体的发育迟缓,以及我的骨骼内仍旧残留着数处手术时留下的金属植入。

但是,这场车祸给我带来的挑战,不光光是经历了几十个小时的抢救手术,也不光光是在这之后漫长而又痛苦的康复训练。那是比身体创伤更可怕的东西——一场折磨了我超过两年的校园欺凌。

就像我在上边提到的那样,我的身体发育因为车祸的影响而受到了严重的影响,直到我高中入学,我的身高还不到一百五十公分,比那些同龄人矮了太多太多。我想,这或许就是我的那群高中同学霸凌我的契机,因为我总能听见他们用“矮子”、“侏儒”等侮辱性的词汇来称呼我。甚至,他们给我取了一个冒犯性十足的绰号,“一米五”,因为我的身高连一米五都不到。

我总能发现我课桌上的笔袋不翼而飞——那是,那些“调皮”的男生故意将它们放在了高高的书架上,我无法徒手触碰到的地方。我曾向班里的女生求助,只是她们从未向我伸出过援手。我只能将我的椅子搬来,小心翼翼地站上去,来拿到我的笔袋。每当这时,我都能听到背后传来刺耳而伤人的嗤笑。

我为此哭泣过好多次,我的成绩也因此一落千丈。不过所幸的是,那些人所做过的最恶毒的事情就只有言语上的辱骂,人格上的侮辱,并没有对我使用过暴力。

我天真地认为,是我的身高令他们瞧不起我。因此,我想尽了一切办法来提高我的身高。我按照医生的指导,进行了科学的锻炼,搭配合理的饮食,还有充足的睡眠。我的生长激素分泌终于成功地回到了正常人的水平,我的身高也在奇迹般地来到了一百六十公分。

“我终于不再是那个曾经被他们嘲笑的矮子了!”

这会是我最愚蠢的想法,他们对我的欺辱并不会因为我长高了而停止,因为我最终发现,他们只是单纯地需要一个出气的对象罢了。曾经班里有个女生忘带耳机,着急做托福听力练习。我好心地将我的耳机递了过去,但她却鄙夷地推开了我的手,并且对我说道:“你的耳机上沾满了耳屎,不要递过来!”

从那以后我彻底地改变了我的想法,我深刻地意识到,我是无法改变这群人的想法的,就像我永远叫不醒一个装睡的人。

“为什么我需要在意他们对我的看法呢?”我这样想道,于是将他们对我的侮辱当作了耳旁风,倘若他们对我做了哪些恶劣的恶作剧,我也只会将这件事情报告给老师,不会像以前那样哭红着眼睛和他们争执。

我开始为自己而活。在抛弃了那些不必要的想法之后,我发现我终于能够专心于我的学业上了。我的成绩突飞猛进,一路高歌猛进到了年级第一。我参加了各种各样的学术竞赛,并且我的文章被成功地发表在了一些著名的青少年期刊上。我的身体状况也在一天天地好转,那些车祸带给我的伤害仿佛彻底不复存在了一般。

我开始结交起了朋友,当然不是我的同班同学,而是在那些学术研讨会上,数学竞赛上认识的兴趣相投的朋友。我的人生在这之后变得丰富多彩,变得充实,尽管班里的那群人还在孤立着我,不愿意与我说话,但我却认为,是我孤立了他们,因为他们在我的世界里并不重要。

我认为我成功地通过了这个折磨了我两年多的挑战。我克服了我心中的障碍,并且走出了校园欺凌的阴影。这两年的时光让我明白了一个道理,那些杀不死我的只会让我更加强大。

以下为英文原件:

Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

When I was a child, I suffered a major car accident, which resulted comminuted fractures all over my body. I fortunately restored my mobility with the help of surgeon and my parents. At the cost, my growth slows down, and several metal implants remained in my bones.

However, the most significant challenge brought to me by the car accident is not the rescue operation for hours, nor the long-term and painful rehabilitation training thereafter. It was something more terrible than physical trauma —— a campus bullying that tortured me for more than two years.

As I mentioned above, my physical development has been seriously affected by the car accident. When I entered high school, my height was less than 4.9 feet, which was much shorter than my peers. This may be the turning point for my high school classmates to bully me, because I can always hear them call me with insulting words, such as “shorty“ and “dwarf“. Even, they gave me an offensive nickname,“4.9 feet“, because my height is less than 4.9 feet.

I could often find my pencil case missing——that was, those naughty boys deliberately put them on the high bookshelf, where I cannot touch with bare hands. I had asked girls for help, but they never reached out to me. I can only move my chair next to the bookshelf, stand on it carefully, and get my pencil case. Whenever so, I can hear the sneer coming from behind, harsh and hurtful.

I cried for this many times, and my grades plummeted. However, fortunately, the most vicious thing those people have ever done are verbal abuse and personal insult, with no violence against me.

My idea was naïve —— it was my height that made them look down on me. Therefore, I tried my best to increase my height. With doctor's guidance, I had scientific exercise, reasonable diet, and enough sleep. My growth hormone secretion finally successfully returned to the normal level, and my height miraculously reached 5.25 feet.

“I am finally no longer the dwarf who was laughed at by them!“

This would be my stupidest idea, and their insult to me had never stopped. I finally found out that they just need a “punching bag“. Once, there was a girl in the class who forgot to wear headphones and was anxious to do TOEFL listening practice. I kindly handed my earphones over, but she pushed my hand away with contempt, and said to me:“Your earphones are covered with earwax, don't pass them!“

Since then, I have completely changed my attitudes. I deeply realized that I could never change the minds of this group of people, while I can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

“Why do I have to care what they think of me?“ I thought, so I turned a deaf ear to their insult to me. If they did some bad tricks, I would only report it to the teacher and would not cry and argue with them as before.

I began to live for myself. After abandoning those unnecessary ideas, I found that I could finally concentrate on my studies. My grades improved by leaps and bounds, all the way to the first grade. I participated in various academic competitions, and my articles have been successfully published on some famous youth journals. My physical condition was also getting better. The injuries caused by the car accident seem to have completely disappeared.

I began to make friends with those who have similar interests in academic competitions. My life has become enriched and colorful after that. Although it seemed that my classmates were still isolating me and unwilling to talk to me, I hold the different point of view —— it should be me who isolated them. They are not necessary in my world.

The challenge that has tormented me for more than two years has been successfully overcome. I conquered the obstacles in my heart and walked out of the shadow of campus bullying. These two years have taught me a truth —— what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
