潘艺研同学发言稿

今天，很高兴能代表高三出国方向的学生在此讲话。在春节前，我经历了标准化考试和大学申请的过程，作为一个申请国外大学的过来人，我想和大家分享以下几个方面的经验：

关于标化成绩：
W.H.奥登曾建议年轻诗人在打字机上逐字逐句的审视，而不是纸上陶醉地阅读自己写的诗；人总是偏爱自己的字迹，他说，我时刻拿这句话来自我警示。
人总是很难承认自己的缺陷和不足。在自己第一次SAT的成绩出来后，我选择了逃避与借口，自我说服自己只是偶然失手而无法直面自己从不完成精读，不练习数学的事实。在这里我想用我的亲身教训来真诚地与各位同学分享：能欺骗自己一时，欺骗不了一世，踏踏实实写完练习题并且反复翻阅订正，你的努力就一定会有回报。

关于活动：
人不可能对自己有百分百的了解。对我而言，做活动的过程也是一种自我的探索和开拓。在跳出自己的舒适圈后，新事物有时令我充满惊喜，很多情况下也让我失望而归。
作为一个申请生物相关专业的学生，在参加了神经科学的夏校后，我更坚定了自己对这门学科的热爱，也极大的扩展了自己在这个专业方面的知识；跳出生物相关活动的局限，戏剧社这个看似与科学无关的活动是我高中生活不可或缺的一部分。
每个人都有自己的道路，虽然前人的经验有一定参考性，但一味复制，只会量产出千篇一律，千人一面的脸谱。不为了活动而活动，而为兴趣，带着好奇探索的心去活动，并且珍惜自己能抓住的每一次机会，参加你感兴趣的活动，无所谓结果如何，是我个人认为最好的建议。

关于申请：
在我的升学辅导老师告诉我，他被Davis录取时并不知道自己和这个学校多么合适。一切结果尘埃落定后的那个早上，如果有人问我最想对ED1被拒绝的自己说什么，我会说不要因为一次早申的失败就自我否定，美国大学录取是一个双向的选择，你只需要展现真实，最好的自我而犯不着为了录取掩藏性格与爱好。
很多人说契合度是一个玄之又玄的东西，但是申请时招生官自会给出他们的答案。从学校气候、城市、强势专业到独特的传统，这些因素混合在一起成为你和这个学校气质是否符合的重要标准。正因为如此，做大学的详细研究对于申请至关重要。

无论是活动还是选学校，与其过于在乎外界的评价，不如广泛的尝试，付出全部的努力，争取不辜负自己。高中只有短短的三年，给每个人的时间都是相同的，但决定怎样把握时间，创造属于宝贵回忆的人是自己。

关于学校：
在这里我需要说自己非常感谢来到厚德书院，更成熟的学校的优势在于完整的体系，但一个新的学校则给了学生更多可能和一个和学校一起成长的机会。
合抱之木，生于毫末。所有的名校都曾经是一个崭新的学校；作为学校的第一届学生，我见证了学校办学以来遭受的质疑，经历的不信任，和逐渐获得认可的过程，而我也因此对学校延伸出一种近乎患难与共，携手共进的情感。
从刚加入厚德出国体系的懵懂，到现在的相对成熟，我的成长何尝少得了在学校度过的点点滴滴。众人拾柴火焰高，崭新的一个学期，希望大家可以共同奋斗，让厚德书院成为我们永远骄傲的母校。

祝愿所有人都能抓住机会，相信自己，带着自信，感恩，不放弃的心开启新的征程！
谢谢大家！

演讲稿英文版
Dear teachers and students,
Good morning!

It is my honor to give a speech here today and I would like to share some of my college application experience with you.

The great poet W.H. Auden once talked about how he loathed using the typewriter, but he admitted that the impersonal and hideous typescript helped him in self-criticism. As a person who feels it is extremely hard to directly face my own deficits, I have this quote saved in my phone as a constant reminder to look critically at myself.

I got my first SAT result in April and it was not to my satisfaction. Instead of being honest and face my procrastination problem when preparing for the math or reading, I chose to lie to myself and blame bad luck for everything. This evasiveness resulted in another failure on my second exam. To many people’s surprise, I actually feel thankful for my failures because they taught me that we can all cheat ourselves for a while, but not forever. So, for those students who are preparing for standardized exams and the gaokao, my suggestion is to be truthful with yourself.

Your activities and experiences are parts that weight more and more heavily in the application process. For me, activities are opportunities of self-exploration. My summer school program made me feel certain in pursuing neuroscience, and at the same time it expanded my knowledge in this field. Jumping out of biology related activities, which is my comfort zone, I believe the theater workshop and Taichi class guided by Ms. Chen Miaojuan and Dr. Steven Edmonds respectively has also been an essential part of my school life. It is my honor to be one of their students to listen to their immensely inspiring lessons. As individuals, we all have our own unique paths and perspectives. Do not participate in activities just to do activities, but for your own passion and interests. Compared to crafting the so called perfect resume recognized by an Ivy league school, exploring freely and cherishing every chance you get regardless of the result is what I think is the best advice for all students.

I want to give special thanks to my college counselor Mr. Mu Chou who told me that he was admitted to UC Davis not knowing how well it fit him. If I could give myself a suggestion a month ago after being rejected from my ED1 choice, I would say “Don’t fall into the trap of self-denial or lose confidence in yourself.” Certain students do in fact fit certain schools, and admission officers sometimes reject you simply because they think you might feel uncomfortable in their school’s culture. And this is what makes college research valuable and important.

Lastly, I would like to thank The Houde Academy. Though our school is relatively new and is not as established as some other schools in China, it has provided me with a valuable environment in which we have explore and grown together. From an experimental education program to a flourishing school that is now going to have its first class of graduates, The Houde Academy has courageously overcome all sorts of difficulties. On this first day of the semester, I hope we can all believe in ourselves and our school and start this new semester with confidence, gratitude and tenacity.

Thank you
新的学期新的开始
希望我们都能做到何道明校长所说
努力、大方、用仁爱之心

做一个真正的厚德人
