Colorful years

As Congcong skillfully used chopsticks to quickly put the food into his mouth, the scene of going to the General Affairs Office with Li Mei to handle the household registration transfer procedures and hand over the transitional grain quota involuntarily appeared in his mind.

It was a busy and stressful time. The two of them moved through the bustling crowd, their expressions a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

Just as they were feeling a little anxious, the cafeteria manager walked up to Congcong with a smile and said gently, "Congcong, our country really cares about college students! We give everyone a living allowance of 17.5 yuan every month!"

Considering the students' actual situation, and to make it easier for everyone to enjoy this care, the school has directly converted this money into meal tickets of equivalent value, which have been distributed to each of you. So, with these meal tickets, you can enjoy delicious food in the cafeteria to your heart's content!

Hearing these words, Congcong felt a warm current welling up in his heart, as if the warm sun in winter had shone into his heart.

Wow! Going to university is great! Congcong thought to himself. Not only do you not have to pay tuition, but you also get a living allowance!

This is undoubtedly great news for students from impoverished families. From now on, they will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat because of their family's poverty, nor will they have to fear being forced to drop out of school due to financial reasons.

Thinking of this, Congcong felt the bowl of rice he was holding became particularly heavy, as if it carried a lot of hope and warmth, which was the care and expectations of the country and the school for the students.

Meanwhile, Congcong's thoughts fluttered like butterflies, drifting back to his memories of his past life. He suddenly remembered that in those days, if a government official chose to eat in the unit's canteen, it would cost about 15 yuan a month. But now, as a university student, he had a full 17 yuan for food every month!

So, not only can you eat and drink your fill, but you can even have a delicious meat meal every day!

Thinking this, Congcong found the bowl of rice in his hand even more delicious, so he chewed it in big mouthfuls, his face beaming with a satisfied and happy smile.

Time flew by. Two months later, the moment finally arrived for the class officers to be selected. It was a moment of both anticipation and nervousness, with everyone filled with both excitement and anxiety.

Congcong was fortunate enough to be elected as the class's life committee member. This result made Congcong both excited and felt a great sense of responsibility, as he knew he would be shouldering a series of important responsibilities.

As the class's student life committee member, he was responsible not only for collecting and distributing the monthly meal tickets to all the students on time and accurately, but also for carefully organizing a thorough cleaning of the dormitory and the surrounding area.

These tasks may seem simple, but they actually require a lot of time and effort, as well as sufficient patience and meticulousness.

However, for the new students, there is still a crucial and significant task to be completed – that is, to carry out the assessment of the level of financial aid.

It is important to clarify that this scholarship program primarily targets impoverished students from vast rural areas. These students mostly come from remote mountainous or rural regions with relatively poor family economic conditions. They need this scholarship to alleviate the pressure of life and help them better complete their studies.

However, if individual urban residents' children are indeed facing significant financial difficulties, they are also welcome to apply. The school's mission is to help every student in need as much as possible, minimizing obstacles and maximizing support on their learning journey.

Once successfully assessed, the school will provide the student with a corresponding amount of financial aid on a monthly basis.

It is worth mentioning that the scholarships are divided into three different levels: A, B, and C, with corresponding amounts of five yuan, four yuan, and three yuan, respectively.

Winning a top-tier scholarship is no easy feat! In addition to requiring applicants to be academically and morally excellent, it is crucial that the student's family is in dire financial straits.

In contrast, the Class B and Class C grants do not have overly strict academic requirements; they place more emphasis on assessing the applicant's actual financial hardship.

After receiving twenty scholarship application forms from the General Affairs Office, Congcong couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

Which students should receive these application forms? And how do we determine each student's assessment level and provide appropriate suggestions? This is truly a headache!

Congcong sat at his desk, holding a thick stack of application forms, his brows furrowed tightly. He carefully flipped through each form, silently pondering the situation.

With so many students from families with limited financial means in the class, how could he possibly identify those who needed the most help? His gaze swept across the application forms. Behind each name might be a soul full of hope and dreams, and each description of a family's situation made him feel a heavy responsibility.

Furthermore, how should we classify and grade students based on their different circumstances in the most fair and impartial way?
