小时候的我从未想过自己会走出国留学这条路
在国际部的这三年里,我动摇过,我曾问过自己无数次,走这条路真的对吗,放弃高考真的是一个明智的选择吗?
每一天的努力,一次又一次成绩的提升告诉我,我做了一个正确的选择。我不止一次跟身边的朋友提起过,如果我当初选择了普通高中,或许如今的我依旧是那个内向,因成绩下降而有点自卑,活在无数补习班和作业里的不起眼的普通学生。
然而,在学校的三年,我不光加入了学生会,还和朋友一起建立了自己的社团,做了很多自己曾经想都不敢想的事情。

深思后,我给爸发了一条短信
当我还在读初一的时候,我有幸参加了学校与美国一所中学举行的学术交流活动,在美国,我体验了当地的学习和生活,那也是我第一次对国外的教育有了最直观的感受。
初三的时候,学业越来越紧张,当时的我有点力不从心,面对大量的刷题,我也在思考上学的意义。
我到底适合什么样的学习模式?为什么身边没有选择出国,还留在教室里的同学大部分也都像我一样不快乐?为什么在美国学术交流的这段经历让我念念不忘呢?
养老院做义工
我是一个特别容易给自己施加压力的人,在学校和自己的双重压力以及身边同学的影响下,我给我的爸爸发了一条很长的短信,向他诉说了我自己对于中考和留学的想法。
不久之后,老师让家长去各个高中参加开放日,在苏州一中的开放日里,我爸遇到了国际部的招生老师。
再三思考下,我和我爸妈一致决定放弃普高,走出国这条路,并只以国际部为中考的目标。

国际部,不一样的学习体验
当我正式成为了国际部的学生后,我体验到了一种全新的学习模式。
上午是国内的文化课,下午则是英语以及美高课程的学习。因为那些课程的存在,我们接触到了更多的知识,也有了很多自己动手做实验的机会。
当我和普高的朋友谈起我们能自己做化学实验时,他们总向我抱怨自己根本接触不到什么实验器材。
布什领导力课程担任助教和翻译
我很清楚得明白,现在的努力和坚持,都能让我在大学里更专注于自己的专业学习,而不是整天想着该如何完成我的论文,因为我们已经做了足够多的练习,也已经明白如何才能完成一篇好的论文。
我和手账的故事
在日常生活里,我不会让学习占据我的所有时间,因为我认为长时间不休息得做同一件事情,最后的结果一定是疲惫与放弃。
我有许多让自己放松的方式,手帐就是其中之一。我沉迷于写手帐,也喜欢用手帐记录自己的生活。我一般会同时使用好多本手帐,例如,我会使用一本手帐来记录我的日常生活,与此同时,我会使用另一本作为我的To Do List。
这样,不论是生活还是学习,我都可以详细地记录下来,并在空闲的时候总结自己的得与失,从中获得经验和教训。

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.
