●劉同學自述Emily’s story●

我從小到大，經(jīng)歷過很多次選擇。當我還在公辦學校的時候，我對自己的未來很迷茫。我感覺自己沒有足夠的時間和精力去追逐夢想，每天擺在眼前的是成堆的作業(yè)，我像是墜入了深淵中，我無法做自己喜歡的事情，好像人生唯一的目標就是中考，高考，以及大學。當我的父母發(fā)現(xiàn)我并不適合體制內(nèi)的道路，感謝他們毅然幫我重新更換了賽道，選擇了國際學校，也讓我重新有了選擇自己人生方向的權利，可以重新審視自己上大學的意義。我也逐漸變得樂觀，開始思考自己的未來。在國際學校就讀一年后，我又陷入了迷茫，不知道自己今后想要做什么。幸運的是學校有豐富的校園活動幫助我們探索自我，挖掘潛能，讓我慢慢看到自己。我是一個富有想象力的人。從小，我就有許多奇思妙想，在繪畫領域有些天賦，所以我堅定地選擇了藝術這條路線。

I made a lot of choices while I grew up.  When I was at a public school, I was very confused about my future.  I felt that I didn't have enough time and energy to pursue my dream. I was faced with tons of homework every day, and I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss. I couldn't do what I liked, and the only goal in life seemed to be working on the high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination and getting into a university. Thanks to my parents who realized that public school system did not suit me, and I was transferred to an international school and given the right to choose my own life path. Being able to reflect on why I should attend university, I gradually became optimistic about my future. A year later at the international school, I was at a loss about what I would do in the future.  Fortunately, the school organized various activities on campus to help us explore ourselves and tap our potential, so that I could came to understand who I am.  I am an imaginative girl.  Since childhood, I have had many fantastic ideas and some talent in the field of painting, so I decided on taking up art.

我對藝術設計感興趣,其實是有多種原因的。第一個原因是家庭因素。我的父親,是一位藝術老師兼設計師。他也是一個非常熱愛藝術的人。在我很小的時候,他就不斷地向我傳輸藝術思想,鼓勵我多做藝術創(chuàng)作, 激發(fā)我天馬行空的想法。有一次,我在家中的墻上亂涂亂畫,被父親發(fā)現(xiàn)后,他并沒有生氣,反而表揚了我, 并放任我去畫,因為他不想拘束我的想法。等我長大點,我的父親就會教給我一些專業(yè)的美術知識。讓我在有著創(chuàng)意的同時,又能夠夯實基礎。第二個原因就是學校因素, 我有幸遇到了非常專業(yè)的美術老師。宏潤博源學校美術雙優(yōu)項目讓我發(fā)現(xiàn)設計是一件非常有趣的事情, 也接觸到各種形式的設計。每當我設計完一份作品并且發(fā)現(xiàn)它是獨一無二的時候,我會感到非常的自豪和滿足,從而讓我越來越有信心。還有一個因素是得益于我成長的城市和這個時代。我?guī)缀蹩梢噪S時隨地接觸到很多富有藝術氣息的設計，比如，繁華的街頭，琳瑯滿目的櫥窗設計，多如牛毛的藝術展，又或者通過網(wǎng)絡搜索了解藝術家的最新動態(tài)。有趣的設計，給我注入了靈感和啟發(fā)，也帶給我前進的動力，我也希望能和這些藝術家一樣，為大家的生活注入美！

There are many reasons why I am interested in art and design. The first is my family background. As an art teacher and designer, my father loves art very much. When I was very young, he kept giving me artistic inspirations, encouraging me to create my own artworks, and stimulating my fancy ideas.  One day, when I was scribbling on the wall at home, he didn't get angry. Instead, he praised me and encouraged me to draw because he didn't want to restrict my ideas. When I was a bit older, he taught me some professional art knowledge, which improved my creativity and helped me lay a solid foundation. The second reason is my school. I was very fortunate to encounter very professional art teachers. The art double excellence program offered by our school has made me realize that design is very interesting, and I have been exposed to various forms of design. Whenever I complete my unique design, I feel happy with it and proud of myself. Thus, I become more and more confident in myself. Another factor is that I benefit from the city and the era I grew up in. I have access to a lot of artistic designs almost anywhere and anytime, such as busy streets, shopwindow displays, numerous art exhibitions, or searching the internet to find out what the latest artists are doing. Interesting designs keep inspiring me and motivating me to move forward. I wish I could also bring beauty to everyone's life just like those artists.            

不知不覺，高中生涯只剩下短短的2個多月?；叵朐诤隄櫜┰吹倪@幾年，我覺得收獲最大的是我通過選讀很多有關藝術與設計的課程打下了扎實的繪畫設計基礎。記得在美術基礎課上,老師會教我們畫素描,水粉以及丙烯畫的技巧,并且還會帶我們到校園里寫生以練習構圖能力, 還會讓我們制作一些模型,比如火山模型,房屋模型等等,以提高我們的動手能力。11年級的時候,我開始挑戰(zhàn)做一些更高難度的設計項目，為作品集做準備。一個項目所需要的時間少則一周,多則一個月。這些項目包含logo設計,產(chǎn)品包裝設計,書本設計以及服裝設計。我需要反復改進，制作無數(shù)手稿，購買各種各樣的材料，思考如何讓作品更有創(chuàng)意。除此之外，每當學校需要做活動宣傳海報的時候，舉辦藝術展覽的時候，我都會主動申請制作，并且?guī)椭蠋焸內(nèi)ゲ贾谜褂[，把同學們的作品以最好的方式呈現(xiàn)出來，讓整個學校充滿藝術氣息。在我們學校，如果遇到大型的節(jié)日如圣誕節(jié)，中秋節(jié)，端午節(jié)等等，學校會通過把節(jié)日元素裝飾在校園中的方法來讓大家感受到溫暖的氛圍。比如說，在圣誕節(jié)的時候，我會粘一些雪花貼紙在窗戶上，還會做一些圣誕樹的模型放在學校里，我還會在禮堂和食堂里掛滿彩帶和氣球。對于我來說，我所處的社區(qū)就像一個大家庭一樣，我很喜歡做自己力所能及的事情這個社區(qū)變得越來越美好。

How time flies! My high school years will come to an end in just 2 months.  Looking back on these years at SHBS, I find it the most rewarding to be able to lay a solid foundation of painting and design by attending many courses related to art and design.  I remember that in my basic art class, our teachers taught us the skills of drawing, goufa and acrylic, and took us to campus so that we could practice sketches. They also instructed us on how to make some models, such as volcano models and house models, so as to improve our hands-on ability.  During my Grade 11 year, I began to challenge myself to do some more difficult design projects so that I could prepare for my portfolio.  A project could take as short as a week or as long as a month. These projects included logo design, product packaging design, book design and clothing design.  I had to keep refining my designs, make countless manuscripts, buy all kinds of materials, and think about how to make my work more creative. In addition, whenever the school needed to make posters for activities and hold art exhibitions, I would offer to make posters, and help teachers to arrange exhibitions, so that we could present students' works in the best way and make the whole school artistic. In our school, every time we have a large festival such as Christmas, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival,etc., the school will decorate the campus with festival ornaments to make everyone feel the warm atmosphere.  For example, on Christmas day, I would attach some snow stickers to the windows, and make some models of Christmas trees in the school. I would also hang ribbons and balloons in the auditorium and canteen.  For me, the community I live in is like a big family, and I would love to do what I can to make it better.

●總結●

我認為在人的一生中，能夠做一件自己所喜歡的事情，并且通過自己源源不斷的努力而成功，便是一件幸福的事。我也會一直為我的夢想而奮斗！最后，我想感謝在我的申請階段，為我提供源源不斷幫助的人，感謝學校給予我的支持，學業(yè)上的幫助，讓我感受到了溫暖。我也感謝我的父母，他們指導我做了無數(shù)次正確的選擇，把我從深淵里拉出來的也是他們，并且一直支持我的夢想。最后我希望我身邊的同學們，都能在申請季順順利利地拿到想要拿到的offer！

I think that if one can do what he likes in his life and succeed by working hard on it, he will be a happy person. I will always keep working hard to chase my dream. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to those who have helped me during my application process. I would also like to express my gratitude to our school for the teachers' support and academic assistance. I would also like to thank my parents for instructing me on how to make the right choices time and time again. They pulled me out of the abyss, and support my dream. Finally, I hope all my 12th grade schoolmates will be able to get the offer from their dream colleges in the application season!
