看着照片里的我，我不禁陷入了沉思……
Looking at me in the picture, I can't help but think deeply
那年盛夏，我还是个没有梦想，没有盼头的一个混吃混喝的人，及时知道即将要上初中了，我心里也没有丝毫的慌张，那时候不止一个人在我身边对我说：“你要好好的学习，考个好高中，然后上个好大学，这样以后才能不过苦日子。”可是年少无知，不听他们的话。
In the midsummer of that year, I was still a man who had no dream and no hope. I knew in time that I was about to go to junior high school. I didn't feel a bit flustered. At that time, more than one person said to me: "you should study hard, get into a good high school, and then go to a good university. Only in this way can I have a hard time." But I was young and ignorant and didn't listen to them.
直到初二那年，我特别好的一个朋友，要转学了。我并没有说出什么挽留的话语，因为那个中学是市重点中学，她去那里可以更厉害。我知道，我们已经不会再上同一所中学了，所以，我们约定了一起上高中。
Until the second year of junior high school, a very good friend of mine was going to transfer school. I didn't say any words to stay, because that middle school is a key middle school in the city. She can go there even better. I know that we won't go to the same high school any more, so we agreed to go to high school together.
她的成绩很好，和我根本不是一个档次的。我只能拼命的，学习。
Her grades are very good, and I'm not at the same level. I can only study hard.
也就是那天，我为了履行那个约定，我拼命的学习，我开始翻开课本，看着根本不擅长的数学，因为基础比别人差，别人琢磨五分钟的题，我有时会琢磨十分钟，甚至更长才能琢磨出来。
That day, in order to fulfill the agreement, I studied hard. I started to open the textbook and looked at the mathematics that I was not good at, because the foundation was worse than others. When others pondered five minute questions, I sometimes pondered for ten minutes or even longer.
不过，我忽然爱上了那种茅塞顿开的感觉。那种灵光一闪，就可以把思路理清楚的感觉。
However, I suddenly fell in love with that feeling. That kind of light flash, you can sort out the feeling of thinking clearly.
终于，我从年纪倒数，一跃成为了年纪前二十，我可以去我梦寐以求的高中了，我可以去找我的朋友了。
Finally, I went from the countdown to the top 20. I could go to my dream high school, and I could go to my friends.
到了高中后，我依旧努力，因为我喜欢上那种茅塞顿开的感觉了。
After high school, I still work hard, because I like the feeling of maosaidun.
努力真的是会上瘾的！
Hard work is really addictive!
