I watched a bio film about Jackie Robinson called 42 the last week and found the very emotional and powerful line reads”I”m here to play balls.”
As an international student here, I always hear friends around me express their experience of being misunderstood. Some of them come from the way of express, like language, others involve culture staff. And the very interesting moment I recalled after watching the film 42 is that one of my professor encouraged me by saying:”I understand it’s difficult to do the hard task especially as an International student”, I appreciate his kind words and his intention was to relive my pressure. However, for my own perspective, there’s no excuse to lower my standard in doing things and not put myself in a equal position competing with all the native ones.
I know there’s huge amount of celebrities in China doing so well internationally in all the business that was leading or created by another country. For example, the Huawei is doing so good in internet service and mobile retail selling and I believe it will become the major provider of Android phones all over the world in the future. Therefore, international students should not be lower their standard in the excuse of language or any other ones. We can earn respect by doing good. As the saying, “I’m here to play balls”.
