“誰的青春不迷茫？”找到一個(gè)適合自己成長的環(huán)境，“先做起來”，在不斷的探索中，前路就會(huì)明晰起來！相信看完她的成長和申請經(jīng)歷也會(huì)對你有所啟發(fā)。
注：羅切斯特大學(xué)建于1850年，被譽(yù)為新常春藤，2022年U.S. News美國最佳大學(xué)排名第34名。
Editor's note: July Chen was admitted to University of Rochester for her ED application. "Which teenager doesn’t get confused in their adolescent years? " Find an environment suitable for your growth, "Do it first", and then if you keep exploring, the road ahead will be clear! I believe that you will draw your inspiration from reading this article on how she grew up and how she applied for college.
PS: Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is known as the New Ivy, and ranks 34th according to the U.S. News.
當(dāng)我拿到羅切斯特錄取通知書的那一刻，我真切地體會(huì)到了什么叫劫后余生。
When I got the letter of admission to Rochester, I truly felt what a lucky survivor I was.
恍惚的情緒將我拉回到了四年前。那時(shí)，我還在體制內(nèi)學(xué)校與無數(shù)的試卷和習(xí)題奮戰(zhàn)，看著墻上掛著“離中考還有97天”的牌子越發(fā)感到焦慮。當(dāng)時(shí)，如果有人問我，你現(xiàn)在做的這一切，究竟是為了什么，我一定回答不出來。我只是，在跟隨大多數(shù)人的腳步，做大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為應(yīng)該做的事?？呻S著時(shí)間的流逝，我越來越猶豫、躊躇不前。我開始隱隱意識到，這樣的學(xué)習(xí)方式和學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境并不是我喜歡的，也并不是最適合我的?！耙豢级ńK身”或許對很多人來說是開啟成功大門的契機(jī)，于我而言則是方枘圓鑿。于是在中考結(jié)束之后，我大膽地改變了我原本的選擇，將目光轉(zhuǎn)向了國際學(xué)校。幾經(jīng)輾轉(zhuǎn)之后，我來到了上海宏潤博源學(xué)校。
My trance took me back to four years ago when I was still struggling with countless examination papers and exercises in the public school system, and I felt more and more anxious when I saw a sign on the wall saying "there are 97 days left until the high school entrance examination". If anyone had asked me then “why are you doing all this”, I would not have been able to answer it. I was just following the footsteps of the majority, doing what the majority think should be done. But as time went by, I became more and more hesitant to move forward. I began to vaguely realize that that way of learning and learning environment was not what I liked, nor was it the most suitable for me. The result of one exam may lead to success for many people, but for me, it is just like getting a square peg by chipping a round hole. So after the high school entrance examination, I boldly changed my original choice and turned my eyes to the international school. After many twists and turns, I came to Shanghai Hongrun Boyuan School.
初到宏潤博源的時(shí)候有個(gè)適應(yīng)期，但是我很快調(diào)整好了狀態(tài)投入到新的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍里。這都要得益于學(xué)校在各方面給我提供的機(jī)會(huì)和幫助。首先，學(xué)校豐富的AP課程給予了我足夠的自由和發(fā)揮的空間。課程的設(shè)置也非常靈活和廣泛，使我可以在感興趣的領(lǐng)域里進(jìn)行嘗試，找尋合適自己水平的課程。在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上，合理的學(xué)分制也能夠讓我不落下基礎(chǔ)課程的學(xué)習(xí)。這就好像學(xué)校為我們搭建了穩(wěn)定的地基，讓我們能夠放心地在上面自由選擇和創(chuàng)作。其次，學(xué)校升學(xué)辦會(huì)定期舉辦大學(xué)宣講活動(dòng)，讓我深入了解了優(yōu)質(zhì)大學(xué)的校園文化，并且有機(jī)會(huì)向招生官們提問。學(xué)期中的目標(biāo)教育，職業(yè)生涯教育等活動(dòng)也不斷地在推動(dòng)我進(jìn)行自我探索，對未來進(jìn)行合理規(guī)劃?；顒?dòng)方面，學(xué)校的藝術(shù)節(jié)、建設(shè)上海項(xiàng)目等課外拓展性項(xiàng)目都拓展了我的眼界和認(rèn)知，讓我有舞臺(tái)去實(shí)踐自己的想法。
There was an adaptation period when I joined SHBS, but I soon adjusted myself to the new community, thanks to the opportunities and help provided by the school. First of all, plenty of AP courses offered by the school gave me enough freedom and space to give play to myself. The courses offered were also flexible and extensive, so that I could try in the fields I was interested in and find courses suitable for my level. On this basis, the reasonable credit system also enabled me to keep up with the learning of basic courses. It seemed as if the school had provided us with a stable foundation on which we could freely choose and create. Secondly, the college advising department regularly held university publicity activities, which enabled me to have a deep understanding of the campus culture of top universities and have the opportunity to ask the admissions officers questions. Education sessions such as goal setting, career exploring and other activities also constantly motivate me to explore myself, to make a reasonable plan for the future. In terms of activities, the school's art festival, Building Shanghai project and other extra-curricular projects have broadened my horizon and cognition, enabling me to practice my ideas on a big stage.
我曾經(jīng)也有過一段不知道自己的興趣究竟在哪，也不知道自己將來要做些什么的時(shí)刻，更不用說選擇哪一所大學(xué)了。但就像我的一位老師和我說的一樣：“迷茫在這個(gè)年齡段是很正常的，最重要的是不能止步不前，自我放棄。有任何想法都要勇于付諸行動(dòng)，先做起來?！?/p>
There were moments when I didn't know what my interests were or what I wanted to do in the future, let alone which college to choose. But as one of my teachers said to me: "Confusion is normal at this age. The most important thing is not to stop and give up. Whatever you have in mind, do it first."
于是，我?guī)е跋茸銎饋怼边@四個(gè)字，和我的迷茫與滿腔熱血出發(fā)了。探索自己的第一步，就是去做自己喜歡的事，來發(fā)掘自己真正的興趣所在。我從小就非常喜歡小狗，路上遇到流浪狗，在條件允許的情況下我都會(huì)施以援手。但在這之前我從未想過更加系統(tǒng)和專業(yè)地去幫助它們。于是，我加入了“Bark4Life”救助小組，和一群同樣是高中生的人每個(gè)月都進(jìn)行流浪狗救助活動(dòng)，幫助流浪狗找到溫暖的新家庭。隨著不斷了解，我創(chuàng)建了自己的流浪狗救助公眾號，以文字的形式讓更多人知道如何正確地幫助流浪動(dòng)物。在這個(gè)過程中，我也認(rèn)識了很多在流浪狗救助領(lǐng)域努力著的人們，并和他們建立了緊密的聯(lián)系。
Therefore, bearing "do it first" in mind, I set out filled with confusion and enthusiasm. The first step to discover yourself is to do what you love to find your true passion. I have been fond of dogs since I was a child. When I met stray dogs on the road, I would give them a helping hand if conditions allowed. But I never thought about helping them in a more systematic and professional way. Therefore, I joined the rescue group "Bark4Life", and a group of high school students carried out stray dog rescue activities every month, helping stray dogs find warm new families. Having gained a deeper understanding, I created my own stray dog rescue wechat account, and tried to let more people know how to correctly help stray animals in the form of words. Meanwhile, I also got to know a lot of people who were working hard to rescue stray dogs and established a close relationship with them.
音樂是一個(gè)我有記憶以來就一直伴隨著我的愛好。我從4歲開始學(xué)鋼琴至今，期間還學(xué)過古琴和美聲。小學(xué)到初中9年的時(shí)間都在校合唱團(tuán)擔(dān)任鋼琴伴奏和聲部成員，跟隨團(tuán)隊(duì)參加了無數(shù)個(gè)比賽，時(shí)刻感受到集體的力量。進(jìn)入高中以后，我在SHBS創(chuàng)立了choir club，并在機(jī)緣巧合下與音樂老師還有一群同樣熱愛音樂的伙伴們一起創(chuàng)造了“Selcouth”，開始打造屬于我們的原創(chuàng)音樂劇。在這個(gè)過程中，我不斷地獲得鍛煉機(jī)會(huì)，不斷地因?yàn)閳F(tuán)隊(duì)凝聚力而受到鼓舞，不斷地在成長。
Music is a hobby that has been with me for as long as I can remember. I began to learn to play the piano at the age of 4, during which time I also learned to play the guqin and sing bel Canto. From primary school to junior high school, I served as piano accompaniment and voice member in the school choir. I participated in numerous competitions with the team and was always aware of the power of it. After entering high school, I founded Choir Club in SHBS, and created "Selcouth" together with my music teacher and a group of friends who also loved music, and began to create our original musical. In this process, I kept getting opportunities to develop and improve myself, to be encouraged by our team and to grow up.
除了音樂，傳媒也是我另一個(gè)興趣點(diǎn)。和傳媒的結(jié)緣是因?yàn)槲业纳龑W(xué)指導(dǎo)老師。為了確認(rèn)我是否真正對傳媒這一領(lǐng)域感興趣，我申請了紐約大學(xué)的夏校，用兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間去系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)媒體，體驗(yàn)如何當(dāng)一個(gè)合格的新聞工作者。于是我發(fā)現(xiàn)，媒介將世界上不同性格，不同地區(qū)的人們緊密聯(lián)系在一起，就好像無形中有一根繩索在連接著彼此。我感嘆且享受媒介的奇妙，也越發(fā)堅(jiān)定了想要在這條道路上繼續(xù)走下去。于是，我開創(chuàng)了自己的Youtube頻道，拍攝了各類型的視頻，將自己的觀點(diǎn)和想法通過媒體傳達(dá)給更多人，也希望能夠影響到更多的人。另一方面，我也花費(fèi)了很長時(shí)間來研究媒體與性少數(shù)群體之間的關(guān)系，在調(diào)查中收到了幾百份不同的觀點(diǎn)。羅切斯特在錄取通知書里對我說的一句話也極大地鼓勵(lì)了我：“我們知道，你將對羅切斯特社區(qū)產(chǎn)生積極的影響，因?yàn)槟惚憩F(xiàn)出了利用媒體改善他人生活的極大熱情?！?/p>
In addition to music, I am also interested in media. I got involved with the media because of my college counselor. In order to confirm whether I was really interested in the field of media, I applied for the summer school of New York University, and spent two months systematically learning media and experiencing how to be a qualified journalist. Hence, I found that media closely linked people of different personalities and regions in the world, just like an invisible rope connecting each other. I was amazed at and enjoyed the wonder of the media, and became more and more determined to continue exploring this field. Therefore, I set up my own Youtube channel and shot various kinds of videos to convey my views and ideas to more people through the media, hoping to influence more people. On the other hand, I spent a long time researching the relationship between the media and sexual minorities and received hundreds of different opinions in my survey. I was also greatly encouraged by what Rochester said to me in their admission letter: "We know you will have a positive impact on the Rochester community because you have shown a great passion for using media to improve the lives of others."
于我而言，為了申請大學(xué)而做準(zhǔn)備的這三年里，“申請大學(xué)”更像是一個(gè)推動(dòng)我進(jìn)步的名頭。這三年，我從最初的躊躇不前，到興趣使然，勇敢邁出腳步去實(shí)踐、去做很多我原本不敢做的事，再到逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的優(yōu)勢和擅長的領(lǐng)域，并且不斷地深入，最后清楚地知道自己的目標(biāo)，知道自己在做什么。一切發(fā)生地順理成章，可回過頭來看，卻又都有跡可循。
For me, during the 3 years of high school, "applying for college" was more like a title that pushed me forward. In the past three years, from the initial hesitation to the interest-driven action, I have taken bold steps to practice and do many things I dared not to do, and then gradually discovered my advantages and areas of excellence, and constantly deepened, and finally clearly knew my goal and what I was doing. Everything happened in a logical way, but when I looked back, I found there were traces.
很感謝宏潤博源給我提供了探索和展示自己的平臺(tái)，劉峰老師以及學(xué)校的每一位老師給予我的幫助，還有Chris校長在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻給我的建議和指導(dǎo)，并且?guī)椭倚薷奈臅?、選擇學(xué)校。感謝我的父母給我最大的自由去選擇我喜歡的一切。
I am very grateful to SHBS for providing me with a platform to explore and show myself, Mr. Will Liu and every teacher in the school for their help, as well as principal Chris for his advice and guidance at the critical moment, and for helping me refine my personal statements and choose a college. I also give my thanks to my parents for giving me the greatest freedom to choose whatever I like.
“先做起來?！惫裁?！
Let us encourage each other in our endeavour with “Do it first.”
