Xiao Junxin, a classmate before entering the Weiming International Department, was shy and shy, not good at words, and even a little "confused", but now he can talk in front of teachers, parents, students and sisters, confident and cheerful. Demonstrate outstanding leadership in a variety of student activities, such as student councils, social practice activities speeches and debates. What is even more admirable is that he can participate in the colorful activities of the International Department while maintaining excellent academic results.
The following is his self-statement, let's take a look!
My dream is my choice
Three years ago, carrying a school bag full of anticipation, unknowns and confusion, I walked to the International Department of Chongqing Weiming School. A year later, I will fly out of the country with my dreams and explore my own sky.
Many people should wonder, why did I stay in the International Department for four years? This has to start from the second year of junior high school, I vaguely chose to "escape" the domestic college entrance examination track, and chose international education to achieve my dream. But when I first chose, I never considered the need to study for an extra year.
Watching the classmates and friends around me rise to the world's favorite schools such as Australia, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, the envy in my heart also came out of nowhere.
In the Weiming International Department, I found that the teachers here are like our friends, can talk about life, very amiable, and my previous environment is completely different, gradually, I like more and more such a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere, learning things is also very fast, so that I will have enough time and space to discover and do what I like, just as I can now "TOPIK" after passing the high level I can also learn "IELTS".
This is another great challenge for me, but I am willing to accept it, and my dreams and the encouragement of my teachers have given me courage and confidence. Honemented again and again, experienced and transformed again and again, I firmly believe that my choice is the right one!
As Mr. Antorini said in "The Catcher of the Rye", receiving a school education allows you to find what suits you and what you want. In international education, it is not about holding a textbook and telling you how to do it, but more about shaping your other pair of eyes to look at the world.
Here, everyone has the right to choose independently, in the choice, you will realize your own shortcomings, constantly reflect, and constantly correct. It's in this environment that I keep thinking, what do I really want? What kind of person do you want to be? What's more beneficial to me?
More than just learning, win in the opportunity
In my opinion, society is a ring of social circles, and the international department, schools and even a country are one of them, such circles are like network information, I need to always pick out the right ones for myself, not just "eat melons". Maybe I eat melon occasionally, but in the middle of it, I can flip through it and think about it. In an environment like the International Department, some qualities have also taken root in me subtly.
As we all know, off-campus activities and volunteering are valued by many foreign universities. The project's project based learning, career experience, monthly social practice activities, teacher-student lecture halls, student unions, and fun sports meetings have all exercised and improved our learning ability and comprehensive practical ability.
Let's talk about the student union, a place to dedicate yourself. As the president of the student union, you have to manage everything, event planning needs planning ability, teamwork needs collaboration, in the face of classmates need leadership, the integration of three forces allows me to personally experience the courses that cannot be learned from textbooks, and these are my ability to shine in my life, which can be used in college, the workplace, and life in the future.
So, walk into the International Department and participate in any event, you will benefit a lot.
Finally, I would like to thank the school for allowing me to meet a group of people here in thousands of worlds; to the teachers, who have taught me everything, not only education, but also history, but also poetry; to my family for supporting me unconditionally; to the friends I met here, who let me understand that everything is not just in the skin bag, but the depth under the skin bag.
But do good deeds, don't ask about the future, I'm still on the road.
