How to be a qualified college student
Nowadays, with an increasing number of high school students having been admitted into colleges or universities, how to be a qualified college student, thus, has become a heated topic among people. Some hold the idea that a qualified college student should stay at college and learn as much professional knowledge as possible, while others argue that a qualified college student should go out of the college and take part in as much social activities as possible. As for me, however, professional knowledge and social experience are of equal importance and a qualified college student should posses both of them.
My view can be supported by two points. For one thing, professional knowledge can be an effective guide for one’s future study or work. As we all know that the main task of college students is still to study, and one should spare a certain amount of time to study every day. Furthermore, knowledge is power, and only when you are armed with abundant professional knowledge, can you lay a solid foundation for your further study and future work as well. For another, social experience can help one to adapt to the competitive society quickly and easily. Although one should put much emphasis on study, yet taking too much time in study is sloth. Therefore, one should participate in some social activities to gain as much social experience as possible. Once you take part in social activities you will get social experience more or less, and vice verse. Just take Zhao Kuo, a famous person in history, for example, who had a good knowledge of strategies and theories of war on the books, while he didn’t have any social experience. No wonder that when he instructed the battle, his army was completely defeated by the rival. Thus, it pays to participate some social activities and get some practical experience.
Considering what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that a qualified college student should be armed with abundant professional knowledge and rich social experience as well. Only one is qualified with them two, can he have a promising future.
