71. I hope someday stereotypes can step out of our life and all of us can have a happy life in Nanjing University.
72. Explicit in memory, the following scene engraves on my heart.
73. I still remember how I was treated when I took an interview for positions in the Youth League Committee at the end of freshman year.
74. They firstly sighed about my outstanding performance in accordance with my department "traits" and then expressed their concern in euphemistic ways, "how were you about to balance study and after-class activities in the following term with more subjects? ", "are you willing to skip class if necessary? ", "will your long-time curriculum affect your attendance in our organization? "
75. It reminded me of an irony scene in film Freedom Writers: An African-American with straight A's was always set as a particular striking example more because of the seemingly impossible combination of humble race and high grades than her hard work and due achievements.
76. Similarly, my performance in the past year was ordinary but seemed excellent based on my study schedule with more than forty lessons per week.
77. I did not realize a stereotype until many seniors in DII admitted having been set in such embarrassment and until the leader stressed on presence in each meeting and activity to me in private after the first assembly of the organization.
78. His raising tone nailed distrust in me and his sharp eye almost squeezed a word "absence" in my forehead.
79. In his eyes, DII students could not coordinate activities into study well, who always had various excuses of study as obeisance for meetings and work.
80. We do have more classes per week than almost each other department in our university, but it does not mean that we are bookworms who bury ourselves in piles of books and papers to do research work.
