小時(shí)候的我從未想過自己會(huì)走出國留學(xué)這條路
在國際部的這三年里,我動(dòng)搖過,我曾問過自己無數(shù)次,走這條路真的對嗎,放棄高考真的是一個(gè)明智的選擇嗎?
每一天的努力,一次又一次成績的提升告訴我,我做了一個(gè)正確的選擇。我不止一次跟身邊的朋友提起過,如果我當(dāng)初選擇了普通高中,或許如今的我依舊是那個(gè)內(nèi)向,因成績下降而有點(diǎn)自卑,活在無數(shù)補(bǔ)習(xí)班和作業(yè)里的不起眼的普通學(xué)生。
然而,在學(xué)校的三年,我不光加入了學(xué)生會(huì),還和朋友一起建立了自己的社團(tuán),做了很多自己曾經(jīng)想都不敢想的事情。

深思后,我給爸發(fā)了一條短信
當(dāng)我還在讀初一的時(shí)候,我有幸參加了學(xué)校與美國一所中學(xué)舉行的學(xué)術(shù)交流活動(dòng),在美國,我體驗(yàn)了當(dāng)?shù)氐膶W(xué)習(xí)和生活,那也是我第一次對國外的教育有了最直觀的感受。
初三的時(shí)候,學(xué)業(yè)越來越緊張,當(dāng)時(shí)的我有點(diǎn)力不從心,面對大量的刷題,我也在思考上學(xué)的意義。
我到底適合什么樣的學(xué)習(xí)模式?為什么身邊沒有選擇出國,還留在教室里的同學(xué)大部分也都像我一樣不快樂?為什么在美國學(xué)術(shù)交流的這段經(jīng)歷讓我念念不忘呢?
養(yǎng)老院做義工
我是一個(gè)特別容易給自己施加壓力的人,在學(xué)校和自己的雙重壓力以及身邊同學(xué)的影響下,我給我的爸爸發(fā)了一條很長的短信,向他訴說了我自己對于中考和留學(xué)的想法。
不久之后,老師讓家長去各個(gè)高中參加開放日,在蘇州一中的開放日里,我爸遇到了國際部的招生老師。
再三思考下,我和我爸媽一致決定放棄普高,走出國這條路,并只以國際部為中考的目標(biāo)。

國際部,不一樣的學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)
當(dāng)我正式成為了國際部的學(xué)生后,我體驗(yàn)到了一種全新的學(xué)習(xí)模式。
上午是國內(nèi)的文化課,下午則是英語以及美高課程的學(xué)習(xí)。因?yàn)槟切┱n程的存在,我們接觸到了更多的知識,也有了很多自己動(dòng)手做實(shí)驗(yàn)的機(jī)會(huì)。
當(dāng)我和普高的朋友談起我們能自己做化學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)時(shí),他們總向我抱怨自己根本接觸不到什么實(shí)驗(yàn)器材。
布什領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力課程擔(dān)任助教和翻譯
我很清楚得明白,現(xiàn)在的努力和堅(jiān)持,都能讓我在大學(xué)里更專注于自己的專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí),而不是整天想著該如何完成我的論文,因?yàn)槲覀円呀?jīng)做了足夠多的練習(xí),也已經(jīng)明白如何才能完成一篇好的論文。
我和手賬的故事
在日常生活里,我不會(huì)讓學(xué)習(xí)占據(jù)我的所有時(shí)間,因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為長時(shí)間不休息得做同一件事情,最后的結(jié)果一定是疲憊與放棄。
我有許多讓自己放松的方式,手帳就是其中之一。我沉迷于寫手帳,也喜歡用手帳記錄自己的生活。我一般會(huì)同時(shí)使用好多本手帳,例如,我會(huì)使用一本手帳來記錄我的日常生活,與此同時(shí),我會(huì)使用另一本作為我的To Do List。
這樣,不論是生活還是學(xué)習(xí),我都可以詳細(xì)地記錄下來,并在空閑的時(shí)候總結(jié)自己的得與失,從中獲得經(jīng)驗(yàn)和教訓(xùn)。
寫在最后:
(下文,是我用英文寫的一小段回憶散文)
I Still Remember
I still remember the days of the military training in the first year of high school.When we were all sweating under the scorching sun, we still insisted on practicing the four-step set. During the lunch break, we wrote down on the paper what we wanted to say to ourselves three years later. At that time, it seemed that it was just some words of self-encouragement. However, when I saw it a few days before the final examination of senior year, those letters also became my nostalgia for the past.
I still remember the days before the proficiency test in sophomore year, we all said bitter, but pens never stop, exercises do one after another, the paper wrote one after another. Once, the teacher urged us to do exam exercises, back formula, back knowledge points. However, in that special period of time, do the reviewingin leisure time has seemed to become a habit.
I still remember that during the period of the final exam, everyone put down their mobile phones and TV dramas and devoted themselves to the review. Oral topics were practiced countless times. At the last moment before the speech, everyone went back to the script and optimized their Power Point. In the year of the third year of senior high school, the examination paper of business and economics was written a lot, and the version of the eliminated paper report could be piled into a mountain. Perhaps, this is youth.
During the three years in Suzhou International Foundation School, I have learned a lot and grown a lot. Thanks to the company of my family and school in the past three years, and also thanks to my efforts in the past three years.
Remember where you started and you will make your journey complete.
