转眼即将毕业，回顾自己在协和万源美式高中的四年生活，可谓多姿多彩！我参加了校内校外的活动；遇到了很多有趣的老师，渐渐成为了挚友；最重要的是，在这点点滴滴的过程中不停地探索自我，发现自我。
My high school life is pretty colorful to be honest. I’ve attended numerous activities and events that are provided by the school, met many intriguing and fun teachers, as well as my friends, and most importantly my 4 year high school experience has been a process of self-discovery, finding out who I truly am and what kind of person I want to become.
作为一个体育爱好者，我尽可能地尝试各种运动，九年级、十一年级的时候加入篮球队、排球队，在运动中释放压力，更享受球场上酣畅淋漓挥洒青春的感觉。我认为，运动能提高自信心，而自信心会在许许多多方面帮助我。
In terms of sports, I tried many sports including basketball, soccer, volleyball, and badminton – so far volleyball is my favorite. To me, doing sports is way more than just a channel of relieving pressure, it’s more about enjoying your youth and sweating on the field, receiving cheers from the crowd, immersed in the feeling of excitement watching that ball getting in the hoop. Sports is also a method for me to boost up my level of confidence.
一进入美高，我就成为学校的英语主持，才艺展示秀、舞会、毕业典礼、运动会等等，我很享受主持的过程，虽然上台前会很紧张，会局促不安，但当我真正在舞台上释放自己内心的声音后，那种感觉是语言无法形容的舒畅。而在学校获得的主持经验也鼓励我走出校门担任主持。随之，我的演讲能力也提高了，越来越适应各种舞台，懂得注重自己的气质形态。
Speaking of confidence, I’ve hosted numerous events and shows from grade 9, like Talent Shows, Proms, Sports Meetings, Pep Rally, Graduation Ceremonies… I enjoy the process, even though I might be nervous before going on the stage and feel unsettled, because when I actually go up on the stage to realize my inner voice, I feel free. Words can’t describe the peace it brings to me, while the experience of hosting events in school also helps me with hosting events outside school, it has magnificently boosts my level of confidence and my public speaking skills.
若说起我的高中生活，“世界学者杯” 一定是难以忘却的篇章。就在这个学年，我分别去了希腊全球赛和美国耶鲁大学总决赛，边竞技边游山玩水，不亦乐乎。虽然一开始我不是很情愿参加这么累的活动，但是走到最后才体会到所有的辛苦与努力都是值得的！不仅仅是奖牌，更重要的是在这个路途中我所结交的朋友，还有特别的回忆与经历。可能人生也是这样的吧，目的不在终点，旅途同样精彩！
On the other hand, I really enjoyed attending the World Scholar’s Cup Global Competition as I received plenty of medals and earned a good place in debating. I travelled to Greece and Yale in the US for the last year and it was great fun. At first I was unwilling to attend such tiresome competitions, yet in the end all the efforts were worth it. It was worth not only for all the medals I received, but also for the people I met and the memorable experiences I got along the way, it’s something special to me.
高中期间，我也注重培养自己的领导力，这在将来社会是不可或缺的素养。十年级的时候，获选学生会副主席；连续三年担任Tuck in 学生公益组织协和万源的部门领导人。有愉快的事，也有让我头痛的事。但无论如何这些都是在我面前的机会，都增添了人生阅历。
The necessary skills required in the future also include leadership, and I had the honor to be the vice president of the Student Council in grade 10 and also TUCK IN Student Charity Organization SUIS WY’s Division Leader. There were all rare experiences to develop my leadership abilities. Along the road, I’ve been through fire and water, and I am thankful to the people who gave me the opportunities, like students who voted for me that trusted me to make a change. Opportunities are floating around everywhere, it just depends on whether we have the bright eyes to see them and quick hands to seize them. I do cherish everything that I do now, everyone that I meet now, for they are all stepping stones to a greater future of m

说起各位可爱的老师，其中让我印象最深刻的是 Patrick Manno 先生 。他的英语课风趣幽默、富有亲和力。今年，我在Manno老师的戏剧《麦克白》中出演一个小角色，马上又要在《Almost, Maine》中出演一名主角。也是因为他，我慢慢地喜欢上戏剧，发现了戏剧的魅力，享受着在舞台上呈现一个完全不同的自己。我觉得，人生中能碰到亦师亦友真是很幸福的一件事！
In terms of academics, the most impressive teacher, who had the greatest influence on me, is Mr. Manno. I loved Mr. Manno at first sight for his unique hair style and the fun way he taught class, I could really feel related to him and warm when I was around him. His unique teaching style influenced my interest on drama. I acted as one of the minor roles in Macbeth and soon will be acting as one of the major roles in Almost, Maine in April, and I found acting a lot of fun. It can be frustrating at first to be honest, but when the spotlight focuses on you, when you are given a chance to be someone else, you would learn to find the charm in drama.
在即将到来的夏天，我要去美国的汉密尔顿学院 Hamilton College 学习心理学了。汉密尔顿学院是美国本科教育排名第12位的文理学院，国际生比例只有7%，竞争非常激烈。但在协和万源的日子里，我学会了勇于面对各种困境，内心变得越加强大，这些都将成为我飞往美国求学的翅膀！
Next school year, I am going to Hamilton College, in the US, to major in psychology. Only 7% of students at Hamilton College are international students. What I learned in SUIS US High School makes me stronger, which will be the wings to fly me higher and higher!
