Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
坐在花园里为我朋友过生日。我感到一阵嗡嗡声(振动) 在我的口袋里。当我看到电子邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。邮件的开头是：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”和“审查过程比预期的要长。”最后是“我们很抱歉通知您……”，我的视线模糊了(模糊). 这个职位——作为本科生研究项目的一部分，测量撒哈拉沙漠的土壤质量——感觉就像是我花了多年时间寻找的答案。
我在申请上投入了大量的时间和精力，我认为被拒绝意味着我科学生涯的结束
因此，在收到电子邮件后不久，负责该项目的Mary Devon教授邀请我观察她的实验室正在进行的工作，我对此感到震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会。几周后，当她邀请我与她谈论我可以在她的实验室进行的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊和高兴。她提出的建议似乎没有我申请的最初项目那么令人兴奋，但我会全力以赴。
我发现自己正在与一位机器人教授合作，研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。这个项目我可以在沙发上完成，而不是在炎热的沙漠中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法无法实现的地方发挥了作用。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣。
当我申请研究生院时，我发现有三个项目有望让我沿着自己想要的研究方向前进。我和以前一样怀着焦虑和兴奋的心情申请了。当我被一个看起来非常合适的人拒绝时，这无疑是很困难的。但这一次我有了自己的观点(视角) 以免让我陷入恐慌。最终，我被另一个我也很兴奋的项目录取了，这对我很有帮助。
我明白了，有时我需要抓住所提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用它们，而不是一成不变地制定计划。
