Chapter 514: Graduation
Okazaki, like most people, thought he could maintain a carefree school life and went on like this.
In the campus love story, the reason why it ends in the confession is to freeze the picture at the most beautiful and happiest moment.
Leave people with infinite thoughts.
However, life does not stop there, and there is always a day when you graduate from school.
"Except for me, everyone is in the third year of high school, have you already decided on your ambitions after graduation?"
It's still the activity room of the drama club, and it's still the group of people who got together because of Okazaki, but Tomoyo has a kind of reluctance to feel sad because of the parting she is about to face - she is only a sophomore in high school, and there is no way to graduate with everyone.
"I'm going to go to nursing school, which is an ambition I've had before. "With Starling's personality, the nurse is a very good fit for her - as long as she doesn't cook her food for the patients, but the hospital is not a cafeteria, and it is not her turn to cook for the patients.
"I'm going to be a kindergarten teacher, so I'm going to go to that school. Xing's volunteering shocked the audience, judging from the character that Xing is now expressing, the audience can't compare her and the "kindergarten teacher" as a great profession that needs to face the bear children with a gentle smile, and some people have even begun to feel for the bear children who are about to fall into the "clutches" of Xing in the future...... Gloat.
"Maybe I'm going to study in the United States...... "Kotomi has a bigger ambition - if she wants to inherit her parents' research, she can't stay here, she wants to see a bigger and broader world."
As they chatted casually, people suddenly realized. That's right. They're graduating.
Graduation - this is not just three words. This means that from now on, they will have to go their separate ways to pursue their dreams, and there will be no way to play around every day without worries as before.
Okazaki looked surprised, he had only now noticed something he had been deliberately ignoring, and graduation meant that he would have to part with his friends - even if they wouldn't say goodbye forever, they would still keep in touch, and they would still meet and meet once in a while. But the days of wanton squandering youth like before will no longer exist.
The expression on Okazaki's face is also reflected in the hearts of countless people who are still in school or have graduated from school but have never paid attention to these things.
And what about Okazaki's ambitions?
This is also the confusion in the hearts of countless students, and even adults who have already entered the society......
What exactly do I want to do?
What exactly is my dream?
It is not the kind of ethereal fairy tale dream like a child talking about "scientists", but a real dream that is about to be faced and will be worked on for it!
Okazaki has been evading and perfunctory this issue because his heart is confused and he has developed a fear of the unknown.
Although his encounter with Nagisa brought brilliance to his world, and even though he had fallen in love with Nagisa and been together, he had never thought about it. Or deliberately ignore this thing that is so "distant" to him - most immature people have the same mentality, which is also the source of the conflict between love and reality.
This graduated. It's not just about graduating from school and going out into society, it's about graduating from naivety to maturity.
Nagisa fell ill again due to physical reasons. Nagisa is the pillar of Okazaki, and Okazaki puts all his qiē on Nagisa's body, and Nagisa falls, and Okazaki also becomes depressed and in a trance.
Nagisa's condition did not improve, and he had to suspend his studies again and stay for another level.
"If Nagisa doesn't graduate, I don't want to graduate either. Okazaki, who got the news, said to Nagisa's parents, Akio and Sanae.
What a blessing it is to be able to graduate with my girlfriend.
If he graduates and Nagisa repeats a grade, it means that he will never be able to go to school with Nagisa again.
For Okazaki, who completely placed his qiē on Nagisa's body, it was a very sad and painful thing for him to be separated from Nagisa, so he said it to Akio and Sanae very willfully.
Okazaki's approach may seem unreasonable to some people, but when you think about it, you realize that this is not the standard childish approach among students: if you don't graduate, I won't graduate.
seems to be in love, but in fact it is nonsense and willful.
"I hate this town......"
"Because it's full of memories that you want to forget. ”
"If you go to school every day to listen to classes, talk to friends, and go back to your home where you don't want to go back at all, will anything change in the future?"
"Will a different life come?"
Okazaki's lifeless whispers like puppets at the beginning once again surfaced from the bottom of people's hearts, and Okazaki longed for change in the bad things.
And for the good things, Okazaki's heart is just like his perfunctory and evasive in the face of his graduation ambition - he hates and fears change.
Longing for the advent of happiness, but also afraid of the departure of happiness, human nature.
But it is naïve to immerse yourself in good memories without facing the reality and trying not to create better memories.
"You're such a child. ”
Akisheng's expression was extremely cold, and he gently extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and said the essence of Okazaki indifferently.
Apricot, Starling, Kotomi, and even Tomoyo, they have all graduated, they have graduated psychologically, they have matured - with the help of Okazaki.
However, Okazaki is still standing still, although he has graduated, he has not graduated at all, or rather, he is not willing to graduate from the illusory "happiness" in front of him.
Qiusheng's words dispel Okazaki's negative thoughts - Okazaki has not really woken up at this time.
Okazaki and Haruhara met Yukimura-sensei at the graduation ceremony - Okazaki "bumped into" Haruhara, used his hoarse voice to help Nishina of the choir club regain his self-confidence, helped Nagisa create a drama club, helped Kazeko's sister's wedding, and gave him a key hint when Tomo couldn't remember Kazeko, a great teacher who dedicated his life to the cause of "teaching and educating people".
At first glance, he looks like an ordinary old man, but he inadvertently uses his own hands to influence the people around him.
"Teaching and educating people" means that teachers care for and care for students, and at the same time impart professional knowledge, they guide students to find the meaning of their own lives, realize the value pursuit of life, and shape their own perfect personality with their own moral behavior and charm.
This has always been the norm of schools, but most teachers and schools only do "teaching", for "educating people", this can be more important to students than "teaching", but it is also more difficult, but few people can do it.
However, any teacher who can do it is a real "teacher" who will be remembered by the students for a lifetime and respected from the bottom of their hearts!
Mr. Yukimura is one such teacher.
Although he failed to teach Okazaki and Haruhara the knowledge in writing, he gave them written school and could not learn, but he was the longest and most important person in his life.
If it weren't for him, the two wouldn't have met;
If it weren't for him, the two would have been expelled from school a long time ago.
Okazaki and Haruhara looked at the back of Yukimura-sensei, their expressions solemn and solemn, and they bowed deeply and very sincerely and respectfully.
This bow is a thank you for the care he has always had, and at the same time a tribute to this great teacher.
Even Okazaki and Haruhara, two troubled students who were known for their problems at school, had to admire such teachers.
Such a teacher, even if he retires, his figure will remain in the hearts of countless people forever.
This bow of Okazaki and Haruhara also remained in the hearts of the audience.
It would have been nice if I had met such a teacher in the first place...... Some people are envious of what happened to Okazaki and Haruhara.
Feng Wei, who was already abroad, was warm in his heart on this cold day, and he suddenly thought of his physical education teacher Cheng Tao - if it wasn't for the physical education teacher who began to support him, he probably wouldn't have set foot on the NBA arena now.
At the same time, Cheng Tao, who was thought of by Feng Wei, thought of his teacher at this moment - the teacher who has now become the principal of his school. Although the teacher now keeps saying that he regrets not teaching him well, let him play basketball, and then nest in the school as a small physical education teacher, what Cheng Tao remembers is the teacher's encouragement to him at the most critical time in his life. Even if he does it again, he will still choose this path, because the teacher made him understand his dream, so that he can fight for his dream, and now he has witnessed the Chinese basketball career that carries his dream is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a student who carries his unfulfilled dream to the NBA.
He can proudly say that he has no regrets!
Teaching is a very important profession because it can change the fate of countless people.
But it is also a profession that is very unappreciated, and I think that most people can't do "educating people" at all.
This scene has a greater impact on education practitioners.
"Teaching and educating people" is simple, but what should be done?
This bow of Okazaki and Haruhara broke the paranoid thinking of many teachers that "as long as he learns well, it will be good for him".
It's good to learn well, but most of the teachers don't know what the students want, let alone teach them according to their aptitude.
And in society, it is not just a "good study" that can gain a foothold, life in the world, learning to survive for 20 years, but after that, there are 50 or 60 years, or even seventy or eighty years of long life.
In this long life, "being a good person" is far more important to them than "learning to learn well", and the influence is more long-lasting.
They may be able to produce batches of outstanding "students", but how many of these bows can they get in their lifetime? (To be continued......
