As the projected top scorer, I took the college entrance exam twice. The first time, I got into Harvard. The second time, I got into Yale. Each time, my score was no less than 700, but neither of these schools dared to admit me once they saw my name. I thought it was because I failed the background check, so the schools were afraid to accept me. But my parents are honest migrant workers. Let alone committing a crime, they don't even dare to kill a chicken. Until I took the exam for the third time. This time I still scored over 700. I applied to Stanford, thinking this time it was a sure thing. But the admissions officer from Stanford, who came happily to recruit students, was dumbfounded upon seeing my name and immediately declared that Stanford couldn't accept me. I couldn't figure it out no matter what. What was wrong with my name? Why did everyone dare not admit me once they saw my name, even though I scored so well? ...... 1 "You are this year's provincial top scorer, Chloe Chen." "We at Stanford won't admit you. We can't accept a student like you!" The admissions officer from Stanford confirmed my household registration information in front of me and finally shook his head. My heart full of joy fell empty, and a sense of helplessness swept over me. I desperately wanted to know the reason and couldn't help asking him. "Why can't you admit me? I'm the top scorer!" "Even if I die, let me die knowing why!" Facing my inquiry, the admissions officer just glanced at me lightly. He said: "No school will accept a student like you!" I tried hard to think about the meaning of this sentence. But I racked my brains and couldn't figure anything out. Devastated, I collapsed on the ground, trembling and crying with my head in my hands. My mind was full of doubts. Why have I been the top scorer three times, yet still no school is willing to admit me? The first time I took the exam, I was the top scorer with 730 points, and I got into Harvard. Just when I was joyfully waiting for the acceptance letter, what came was the news that my application was rejected. I didn't believe it and called the admissions office to ask. But when the leader heard my name was Chloe Chen, he didn't investigate further, only saying: "We won't accept you." The second time I took the exam after repeating a year, I was the top scorer with 735 points, and I got into Yale. I thought Yale would definitely admit me. But the result was the same; my application was rejected again. When I called to investigate again, the leader of the Yale admissions office was the same as Harvard's. After hearing my name, they didn't admit me. 2 I couldn't figure out why my scores were getting better each time, but Harvard and Yale dared not admit me. At first, I thought there was a problem with the background check, so I specially checked if my parents had committed any crimes. But the result was that our family had been clean for three generations. Moreover, my parents are honest farmers who usually don't even dare to kill a chicken. I couldn't find the truth and didn't believe in bad luck, so I resolutely took the exam for the third time. This time I scored 738 points, still the top scorer. Thinking of the previous two experiences, I didn't choose to apply to Harvard or Yale, but put Stanford as my choice. With my score, I could easily get into Stanford. When the Stanford admissions officer came to my house, I confidently thought the result was secure this time, and I would definitely be able to go to college. Unfortunately, the admissions officer dealt me a heavy blow. After seeing my name, he immediately declared that Stanford wouldn't want me. I still wasn't admitted. After suffering the blow of failing to get in three times, I was in absolute despair. My parents looked at me crying bitterly and shed tears too. "How could this happen?" "My daughter is clearly the top scorer, why wasn't she admitted?" The old couple couldn't believe this result either. 3 My mom's eyes were red, and with a thud, she knelt directly in front of the Stanford admissions officer. She begged cautiously: "Teacher, I beg you, let my daughter go to school. We'll find a way to give whatever amount of money you need!" The admissions officer ignored her. My mom simply kowtowed directly. She knocked her forehead until the skin broke, reaching out to grab the admissions officer's pant leg. She cried snot and tears, her voice choked: "Teacher, the child can't have no school to go to. Her father and I have farmed hard all our lives. Our biggest wish is to cultivate our daughter so she can live a good life and not repeat our mistakes of suffering. I beg you to have mercy!" My dad knelt too. Hunched over, he took out a pack of cigarettes costing one dollar and fifty cents from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to the admissions officer. "Teacher, although I'm uneducated, I know my daughter is the top scorer. She must go to school!" "If she doesn't go to college, the rest of the child's life will be ruined. I beg you to help!" To support my schooling, my dad could only smoke cheap cigarettes costing one dollar and fifty cents a pack. Watching my parents, who had never bowed their heads, humble themselves to beg others for me, my heart ached in waves. Although our family are farmers, my parents have never been so aggrieved no matter how hard or tired they were. They say a man has gold under his knees, but at this moment my dad knelt to beg for a way out for me. Unfortunately, it was all useless. The admissions officer wasn't moved in the slightest. 4 He still said the same thing: "Don't be like this. We won't accept your Chloe Chen!" My dad thought his sincerity wasn't enough, pulling his sleeve to wipe the leader's shoes. He wiped shoes while begging, even kowtowing. Even so, the admissions officer still didn't relent: "Don't play these sympathy cards. It's useless. We won't accept a student like Chloe Chen no matter what you say." The admissions officer spoke with certainty. No matter how my parents pleaded, the admissions officer was unwilling to pay attention to us anymore. After the admissions officer left, Stanford rejected my first choice application. I, the person involved, was completely confused. I tried to find the reason in myself. What does "a student like me" mean? What mistake did I make exactly? But in my memory, I didn't have a single stain. I have been a model student with good character and academic performance since childhood, a student model in the mouths of other parents. Seeing me in such pain, my parents gathered around to comfort me. My dad patted my head. "Chloe, it's okay. If this school doesn't want you, we'll choose another school. There are so many universities in the country, there must be one that wants you!" My mom helped wipe my tears, echoing him. "My Chloe is the top scorer, there will definitely be a school to go to. No matter what, mom and dad will fight for you!" Because I didn't get into college after three exams, my parents' hair turned much whiter.
