【枫叶学子说】保持热爱,奔赴山海
我是来自高一的葛瑞宁,今年是我在枫叶度过的第三年。我和我的家长一直以来都计划让我将来出国求学,于是机缘巧合之下,我们遇到了枫叶。
初二那年,我在大连的枫叶开启了一段新旅程。与公立学校有所不同,枫叶并不想要学生成为刷题的机器,被考试的枷锁束缚。这里不止注重文化成绩,还注重培养学生们的兴趣爱好、个性特点;激发学生们的潜能;锻炼学生们的领导力。学校开发了各种社团,每个学期也会组织丰富的比赛和活动,如师生篮球赛、校园配音比赛、枫叶杯英语演讲比赛以及戏剧节、读书大会等等。不仅如此,为了更好全方面培养我们的个人软实力,校园中大大小小的活动都能看到学生会以及志愿者的身影,例如刚刚结束的深圳枫叶大学展,每个展台都由高一和高二的学生来辅助大学代表布置现场,进行咨询工作等等。我们从中不停地锻炼如何应对意料之外的状况,如何迅速解决问题,从而完善我们的能力。
I am Emily from Grade 10. Three years ago, I stepped in the Maple Leaf campus for the first time, and that’s when a new chapter of my life began. Soon after I started learning here, I realized that our school is quite unique in its way of educating the students. Maple Leaf doesn’t only focus on our academic performance, it also helps us develop our potential and personal soft power. Here, we provide inclusive education. Students have characteristics and talents of their own, and our school has many clubs and activities, as well as contests to help students practice their skills and seek for more interests.
初中的时候,我遇到了许多难以忘怀的老师。他们的授课方式各有不同。有不局限于课本,经常给我们讲述历史背景、拓展知识的语文老师;有会调动课堂氛围,激起学生学习兴趣的物理老师;有和蔼可亲的化学老师。来到高中之后,全天英文授课,我们的外国老师们每个人也独具特色,或热情、或幽默、或温柔。老师们非常愿意和学生交流、聊天,并且及时给予学生们学业上的帮助。老师们都会认真备课,有些每天甚至都会加班到很晚。高中部还有领事老师,一路陪伴我们走过高中三年,愿意为学生排忧解难,也会时刻关注着我们的校园生活和学习状况。当然,我们还有专业的留学老师,给我们提供建议,帮助我们针对所选的专业规划高中的学习,以及帮助我们申请大学。枫叶的每一位老师,都在我们的高中时期和成长路上保驾护航。
Our teachers are very responsible and professional. They are here for us and never hesitate to provide us help in our studies or other things with their capabilities. And they are always leading us the way as we grow up.
我在枫叶的三年里,有许多经历,也有许多变化。曾经的我很内向,无论是晚会还是才艺表演,或是演讲比赛,我永远是坐在观众席的那一个。可是我无比羡慕那些在舞台上闪闪发光的同学们,我也希望聚光灯能够停留在我的身上。于是我开始做出改变,我开始大胆尝试。每当学校组织活动需要志愿者的时候,我都会参与其中。我在点点滴滴中锻炼自己,让自己变得落落大方,坦然自若。我开始登上更多的舞台,有了更多的机遇,也收获了很多。这些都离不开我的家人,以及老师和同学的支持。从此我也清楚了自己追求的理想和目标。
Ever since I came to Maple Leaf, I can feel that there has been a lot of changes in me. The whole environment exerted a profound influence on my personality. Honestly I was a pretty timid person. I was always the one sitting in the audience no matter what event. But I envied so much the students who can stand on the stage and light was cast on their shoulders. That’s when I knew what was my goal, one day I will be the one up there on the stage. After countless effort, and after numerous tries, I became more dedicated and confident. I was finally ready to face the audience. Since then, I began to have more opportunities and I made great achievements. Throughout the course of time in Maple Leaf, I became a better self.
我从初中来到高中,从北方的滨城一路沿海来到了南方的鹏城。道路漫漫长,我们都有要跨越的山,要征服的海。在风急雨骤的夜晚,我们都曾迷失过方向。我们也曾慨叹过成长;慨叹过岁月;慨叹过物是人非。可正如人民日报里的一段话:“在时间中长征,我们仍需跨过千道坎、万重岩,但满怀着无比的自信。心中有目标,脚下有方向,山长水阔不辞其远,赴汤蹈火不改其志。”愿我们都保持热爱,奔赴下一场山海。
As we grow up, eventually we will come across mountains we can’t climb, or seas we can’t conquer. But that shouldn’t stop us from going further to reach our dream. “Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.”
