学习本是一件快乐开心的事情。以前在学校时，每次上课都会打盹犯困，来了部队后，指导员给我们讲课很生动，我感觉很有意思，我才醒悟自己原来也可以认认真真地听课和做笔记。

Study makes me happy. I used to fall asleep in classes when I was back in school. But after I joined the army, our political instructor gives vivid lectures, which inspires me a lot. I realized that it’s not true that I couldn’t listen to the teacher carefully and take notes. It’s the interest.

在家时，我是一个好吃懒做的叛逆少年，来到部队，我学会了早起和自立，也明白了大人们的不容易，我相信我可以坚持下去，脱下这身军装，我依旧是一个兵。

I used to be spoiled and rebellious. In the army, I learned to get up early, depend on myself, and understand it’s not easy to be parents. I’ll keep that in mind. Even now that I've taken off the uniform, I’m always a soldier.

这是在学习室，两年的思想教育，大部分时间都在这里。开会、学习、看书、自由活动都可以坐在软软的椅子上。用一点点闲暇的时间在这里趴一会儿，是最让人轻松的享受。

This is our study room. We spent much time here during classes in the past two years. I get to sit in the soft chairs when meeting, learning, reading and during free time. To lean on the desk for a short while is relaxing and enjoyable.
