Question

Last month when I was taking part in a US college interview ， I was asked ， “ what makes you special ? ” In fact I had answered questions likes this many times since I decided to go to college in the US. College paid special attention to different achievement . For example , a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .
This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me . To be honest , it was not easy . However , I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself . If I took the College Entrance Examination ,as we call it gaokao in China , it could never possibly do .
When I entered high school , I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons . However ,as I grew older , I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons , but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life , like guitar―playing . Although I had no time for it , I will still get to it in the future .
No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies . But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “ talent ” really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品质 ）are needed for success , not just the high grade .
Ken Robinson once said , “ the society depends on different kinds of talents . ”  However , gaokao pays too attention  to a person' s grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .
As high school students , we can not change the present situation of education , but we are always free to think outside of the box . Although good school grade is still useful , I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people .
