The Beauty of Breaking a Cocoon into a Butterfly —— An unforgettable speech contest
Pieces of fallen leaves walk hand in hand through the whole winter to open a garden/every butterfly makes a cocoon for flying and dancing/the most beautiful coastline is always winding and lingering.
Every time I think of this familiar melody in my ear, I always lament the beauty of butterflies: you can only dance if you tie yourself up! Now whenever we have a goal in mind and work hard, it is waiting for the day when we break the cocoon and become a butterfly! My first speech was a beautiful change.
I was timid when I was a child, but I also liked talking, dancing and singing. I have always dreamed of standing on my own stage one day, but I am always timid on that stage. Until the day I entered middle school, the Ministry held a "caring about everything" speech contest. The teacher said that I had a good literary talent, so I hesitated and agreed. I am extremely scared, but I have already signed up, and it is too late to regret it. No way, join in! This is my first speech, so I must prepare well!
For this speech contest, my speech was torn and written, and I don't know how many times I revised it. I spent several nights reciting the manuscript. On the day of the speech, I secretly encouraged myself: this time, I must beat myself! I bravely walked to the podium with the mentality of trying. There was silence in the classroom, only the sound of my heartbeat. Looking at the clock before me, the second hand is ticking, just like my heart. I panicked when my eyes fell on the judges. But I quickly adjusted my mentality and looked at the judges with firm eyes: I can do it! My loud voice sounded in the classroom, and I used my deepest feelings to integrate into my speech. Finally, he raised his head, made an upward gesture and bowed. Thunderous applause reached my ears, and I walked off the platform, only to find that my hands were full of sweat. I don't know if I can succeed this time.
Until one day, the teacher said excitedly, I won the second prize in the speech contest! I can't hide my inner joy: I finally defeated myself and became a dancing butterfly! I flew home after school and told my mother the good news at the first time.
That familiar song rang in my ear again: a fallen leaf walked hand in hand through the whole winter to open up a garden/every butterfly made a cocoon for flying and dancing/the most beautiful coastline always winds to make people forget to linger.

Chapter 2: Experience and growth, break the cocoon and become a butterfly.
Growing up through experience, breaking the cocoon into a butterfly —— My thoughts on university activities
For more than half a year, I have been hesitating and wandering ..... but I have really gained a lot from various experiences. -inscription
Time has taken away those thoughtless frivolous and wild days, like the sour fruit of a lemon tree, revealing its mature and full information. Silently, college life began like this.
I came to Success College with a beautiful vision. In a blink of an eye, I have been living and studying in Success College for more than half a year. Looking back suddenly, everything is still vivid and clearly visible. Or surprised, or confused, or moved, or sad, intertwined, forming my wonderful freshman life.
Looking back, I have a deep memory and many feelings.
In the military training for freshmen at the beginning of the semester, he served as the leader, with outstanding performance, which won the unanimous praise of teachers and instructors, and also won the trust and support of students. Then he was elected as the secretary of the class league branch, United with his classmates and worked hard and responsibly. Later, he joined the hospital radio station and became a member of the news landing group on Monday. At the same time, I also work as a student assistant in the college enrollment and employment office, contributing my own modest contribution to the college enrollment and employment work. Now, after four rounds of assessment, I have passed the election of the Youth League Committee and entered the Youth League Committee for internship. I often think that it is a kind of pride and greatness to regard the university as a growth stage and have a gorgeous transformation, so I have been trying and pursuing, hoping that I can give full play and grow on this stage.
In this more than half a year, I have presided over the opening ceremony of the 6th Sports Meeting of Success College, the rematch of the 7th Campus Singer Contest, the closing ceremony of the 4th Dormitory Culture Festival and the awarding party, the 5th anniversary celebration party of Qian Fan Speech Association, the 2nd Dormitory Teacher-Student Association and the XX New Year's Day party. And participated in the second etiquette style competition, won the "etiquette star" champion; Participate in the third "Seventh National Congress"
Rainbow "Cup Gold Microphone Campus Host Contest, entered the top ten and won the Excellence Award; At the opening ceremony of XX "College Students' Reading Festival" in Chenggong College, I spoke as a student representative and read out the activity proposal.
These experiences have greatly enriched my after-school life, and the most unforgettable thing is the experience of participating in the second etiquette competition. This is the first contest in my university, and I stand on the stage of the international conference lecture hall for the first time. I am too excited to describe. As the etiquette star of our department team, I am also under great pressure. In the preparation stage before the game, we encountered many difficulties. Because the rehearsal has been poor, everyone is exhausted and very discouraged. I cried at that time and felt that my strength was really small. We want to do it well, but we can't. The game is held in the evening. I don't know why, the rehearsal effect in the afternoon was surprisingly good. Everyone did their best, and the seniors and sisters also tried their best to provide me with all the needs. With the joint efforts of everyone, the competition went smoothly that night, with the best performance from catwalk, quiz, impromptu speech to talent show. My talent show was a poem recitation accompanied by a romantic guitar, which touched the audience. There is also an impromptu speech session. We broke the traditional speech form, added lively and interesting performances, and finally got the highest score in this link. Speaking of this, I am still a little proud, because at the beginning everyone opposed this form of speech and thought it was too risky. I persisted in spite of everything. Unexpectedly, the effect is not bad. In the end, our team won the second prize of the team, and I also won the "Etiquette Star" championship with absolute advantage.
Through this competition, I have more deeply realized that hard work is a fruitful harvest, and falling sweat is a crystal-clear joy. The original strength after hard work is so powerful and profound.
In March this year, I participated in the third "Colorful" Cup Golden Microphone Campus Host Contest. I am proud of being the first in the preliminary round and the third in the semi-final, but unfortunately I made a mistake in the most crucial final. I admit that I am not strong enough. I cried after the game. Maybe I can't accept the result at the moment, because I have paid too much for this game and got the support and help of many people, but I want to say that I really don't care about the result of the game. What I gained in this process is definitely better than this result.
I once wrote a diary to commemorate this competition, and I still remember the last paragraph: "The golden microphone is over, but my efforts will not stop there. Difficulties and grievances are nothing. Dry your tears and put them away.
Chapter Three: Breaking Cocoons into Butterflies
Hello everyone! The topic of my speech today is "Breaking Cocoons into Butterflies".
"Follow my left hand, my right hand, a slow motion"-this is a popular lyric on TV and the Internet last year, from the song "Youth Practice Manual".
Just like the name of this song, our youth needs to be cultivated. Just after the baptism of middle school and entering the university, everyone came to the next stop of youth cultivation. With the contrast between black and high school, many people describe the university as an ivory tower. Not at all.
Take the caterpillar as an example. From the beginning of being sensible, the caterpillar began to weave cocoons hard, and finally became a silkworm chrysalis and entered the university. Some caterpillars feel that there will be no more wind and rain, stop working hard in this seemingly comfortable environment, or stop at setbacks, lose the courage to further evolve, wear off their fighting spirit a little, and finally get stuck in cocoons and let the years pass.
Some caterpillars think the world is so big and don't want to be trapped. They want to travel around the world, but they are frightened by the hardness of cocoons. They think they can ask the outside world to help them break the cocoon shell. It is precisely because they have not experienced the struggle before breaking the cocoon that they are bloated, their wings are shriveled and they cannot fly around the world.
There are also some caterpillars, as you may have guessed. They were not confused by the comfort in the cocoon, nor intimidated by the hardness in the cocoon, but struggled and struggled. They don't have their own aura. They failed many times, but they didn't stop, and finally broke out and feathered.
Become a butterfly and travel around the world.
There may be some students who don't understand why we should go to college, since it is self-discipline. Silkworm cocoon is not for self-cultivation, but for completing transformation and living better. If everyone only regards going to college as a place to learn theoretical knowledge and skills and aims to find a well-paid job in the future, then college is not the only choice.
College students, scholars and university questions are three basic elements of a university, and great ambition and great realm are two basic pursuits of a university. Going to college doesn't mean that you can immediately turn your life around, step onto the peak of your life, and get married. Not short-term speculation, but long-term investment. Going to college can increase our quality and ability, and better reserve the intangible assets of our lives.
It is difficult to weave cocoons, but breaking cocoons is not easier than weaving cocoons. How can we help the caterpillar break out of its cocoon and complete its transformation when entering the university?
University is different from middle school. It looks very comfortable because the university teachers don't urge everyone to study, including the content of study, the way of class, extracurricular time and activities. This is a freer and more open environment. However, being free and open does not mean that you can rest assured that you will not act or work hard. How to choose during the four years of college, whether to make a cocoon or break it into a butterfly, depends entirely on ourselves.
Because universities are more autonomous learning. So how to study?
First of all, the knowledge we learn is not only our professional theory, after all, life is full of knowledge. Moreover, in college, we should not only passively accept knowledge, but also learn to ask questions, reflect, distinguish and practice. The Doctrine of the Mean records "learning, asking, thinking, distinguishing and committing crimes". These are the five processes of learning.
Secondly, universities are not factories and do not produce standard parts that can only answer questions. It is a cultural place for educating people. Every student has his own thoughts and characteristics, and all of them deserve to be wonderful. We should grasp the goal and initiative of life, constantly "learn and think", build our own internal and external qualities, and cultivate our ability to find, analyze and solve problems, otherwise, even if we enter the society, our college life will drift like duckweed.
Finally, I would like to remind you that hard work may not pay off immediately, but there must be no hope without hard work. Therefore, we need to strengthen our bodies-this is the physical foundation and keep a positive attitude-this is the psychological foundation, and then stick to it and get through the darkness before dawn. You know, behind every glamorous, there is a lingering past. If you want to become a butterfly, you can only break out of the cocoon.
What kind of life do you want and what attitude do you intend to take to complete the transformation from a student to a social person? The university is a key transit point, so we must take care of it. Finally, I wish you all a full and happy college life! thank you
