I grew up in one of the poorest areas in Bradford. I live in a three-bedroom house with six brothers and sisters. I studied very hard . I got the best results in the history of the school. Other students would be happy with receiving such results. Their parents would give them an MP5 player as a prize or take them for a trip. What about me? In fact it made me sad. It was because my application(申请)to Imperial College London didn’t pass. It is my dream to study medicine there.
I know that nothing in life is easy. I won’t give up. I will apply again the following year. While some students are traveling during the holiday, I am working hard.  I help the doctors look after sick people in a hospital . I believe I must become a doctor one day.

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.
