Original:

Before we join the school, we have once military training. It is hard-working for students. Several days ago I met a friend in the university who is a instructor. He told me the kids are too spoiled that they are unwilling to get this kind of training. The school if they didn’t want to join in this training, have to give some case report from a hospital, to certificate they can’t get the training. Some excuse they report like they have bone break, it’s very exaggerate, but actually their body are good, their body not bad at all. That made me think back my military training experience when I was in the university. We can beer the hardships and we get a lot of exercises and get do physical power. I think they should learn from how to persist on one thing and try their best.
