那些阳光灿烂的日子
高三（5）班 徐子淳
至今我都还记得，当年那个懵懂的小女孩。她萌生了出国读书的念头，父母尊重她的每一个决定，于是将她送到中加读书。她并不清楚这是否是一个正确的选择，因为当时的她内向，容易害羞，甚至对自己未来的道路还感到迷茫，那个小女孩，就是我。
高一刚开始没多久，各种各样学校的活动接踵而至。我似乎被曝光在了一个全新的环境中，努力着让自己去适应。那一年英语文化周的演讲比赛，老师让我去挑战一下自己。刚开始我并不愿意参加，因为我害怕面对坐在台下的评委老师和同学们，后来，在老师的鼓励下，我还是抱着试一试的心态去了。我记得很清楚，当我站在多功能厅的舞台上时，我拿话筒的手止不住地在抖。我下台后，长舒了一口气，仿佛终于完成了一个艰巨的任务。那是我高中生涯里第一次在许多人面前讲话。现在回想起来，我真的很感谢那一次经历。从那之后，我似乎对舞台的恐惧没有以前那么强烈了。我甚至开始慢慢地想去抓住更多这样的机会来锻炼自己。在课堂上，我会积极地举手回答问题，我参加了学发委文艺部的招新选拔，并成功地成为了其中的一员；同时我也加入了领导力社团和商社，争取让自己有进一步的提升。我开始希望自己变得更好，而不是像以前一样去逃避，这是中加给我的第一个转变。
在高二的时候，很幸运，我担任了艺术节的主持人。我已经不再是那个怯场的小女孩了，而是勇敢，自信地面对着全校师生。在主持完的那一刻，我不再是如释重负，而是有了一种成就感，并为自己的改变而欣喜。在之后的年级活动中，我也多次担任了主持人。感谢中加给予了我这样的平台，让我能够有机会展现自己。今年九月份，我参加了全国中学生英语演讲比赛，并收获了评委提出的宝贵的建议。一个内向的小女孩逐渐变得自信，从刚开始不敢说话到后来从容大方地站在舞台上，这是中加给我的第二个转变。
很长一段时间里，我一直都担任班级的英语课代表和班长。慢慢的，我发现我能够完成老师布置给我的任务，并且能够协助老师管理好班级。心中的责任感也在无形之中慢慢变大。在学发委中工作了一年多之后，我对部门负责的活动了如指掌，写策划的能力也得到了很大提升，并且成功竞选为文艺部副部长。去年七月份，我与另外几个同学代表学校参加了全国中学生领导力大赛，并取得了一等奖的好成绩。在我们共同完成项目的过程中，我学会了互相合作，学会了倾听别人的想法，学会了把整个团队团结在一起，让每个人都能够发挥自己最大的作用。从一个执行者逐渐成为一个具有领导能力的人，这是中加给我的第三个转变。
在参与活动的同时，我也丝毫没有对自己的学习松懈。高二是紧张、繁忙的一年。通过努力，我在高二下学期开学的时候取得了雅思七分的成绩。在那一刻，我知道了一切的付出都会有回报。除了必修的微积分和微观经济学两门AP课程，我还选修了物理和化学。特别是临近AP考试的那几个月，数不清的模考，一张又一张的卷子，复杂难懂的知识点，压得我喘不过气。可我并没有放弃。我会在课上认真做笔记，划重点。利用课间的十分钟再看一看是否还有没搞懂的题目。晚自习的时候认真做好错题分析并检查知识疏漏。终于，在五月份的考试中，我取得了四门五分的好成绩。我积极地参加了许多次数学竞赛，都取得了不错的成绩。除此之外，我与另外三名同学一起参加了经济学挑战赛，并拿到了中国赛区晋级总决赛的资格。经过两年的积累和沉淀，高三开学后，我开始自己学习AP统计学。我的学习能力得到了很大的提升，并且能够开始自学，我相信这也是大学学习中必不可少的一种能力。这是中加给我的第四个转变。
中加给了我各种机会，让我能够全面发展。我从一个依赖父母的小女孩慢慢变得独立，我从无法很好地管理时间，到开始能够在课外活动和学习中找到平衡，我从逃避困难，到现在敢于直面并想尽方法地解决它。在这两年多的时间里，我已经找到了自己未来的方向并在为之努力。我想告诉当年那个小女孩，她做了一个无比正确的决定。
感谢中加，感谢那些在中加的阳光灿烂的日子。
Those Days in SCCSC
I still remember the moment that I was confused and desired to go abroad to study and came to SCCSC with the support of parents. I didn't know if this was a right choice because I was introverted, shy, and even confused about my future at that time.
Not long after the first year of high school, all kinds of school activities followed. I seem to be exposed to a new environment, trying to adapt myself. In the speech contest of English culture week that year, my teacher asked me to challenge myself. At first, I was reluctant to participate, because I was afraid to face the judges and students sitting in the audience. Later, with the encouragement of the teacher, I went with the attitude of trying. I remember my hands shaking as I stood on the stage in the multifunctional hall. I stepped down, with a sigh of relief, as if I had finally completed a difficult task. It was the first time in my high school career that I spoke in front of many people. Looking back, I really appreciate that experience. Since then, I seem to have less fear of the stage than before. I even began to seize more such opportunities to exercise themselves. In class, I actively raised my hand to answer questions. I took part in the recruitment and new selection of the literature and art department of the school development committee and successfully became one of them. At the same time, I also joined the leadership community and business community to strive for further improvement. I began to hope that I would become better, rather than escape as before. This was the first change that SCCSC gave me.
When I was a sophomore in high school, I was lucky enough to be the host of the art festival. I was no longer the little girl with stage fright, but bravely and confidently faced the whole school. At the moment when I finished hosting, I was no longer relieved. Instead, I had a sense of accomplishment and was delighted with my change. In the following grade activities, I also served as the host for many times. Thank you for giving me such a platform, so that I can have the opportunity to show myself. In September this year, I took part in the national English speech contest for middle school students and received valuable Suggestions from the judges. An introverted little girl gradually became confident, from not daring to speak at the beginning to standing gracefully on the stage later, which was the second change that SCCSC gave me.
For a long time, I have been the English class representative and monitor. Gradually, I found that I could complete the tasks assigned by the teacher and help the teacher manage the class. The sense of responsibility in the heart also grows gradually in invisible. After working in the student development committee for more than a year, I knew the activities in charge of the department like the palm of my hand, and my ability of writing and planning was greatly improved. I was elected as the vice minister of art. Last July, I participated in the national high school student leadership contest on behalf of our school with several other classmates and won the first prize. In the process of completing the project together, I learned to cooperate with each other, listen to others' ideas, and unite the whole team so that everyone can play their best role. Moving from an executive to a leader is the third change that SCCSC gave me.
While participating in the activities, I did not relax my study at all. Senior year is a stressful and busy year. Through hard work, I got a score of 7 in IELTS at the beginning of the second semester of my sophomore year. At that moment, I knew all the hard work would pay off. In addition to the required calculus and microeconomics AP courses, I also took physics and chemistry as electives. Especially in the months before the AP exam, I was overwhelmed by countless model exams, examination papers and complicated knowledge points. But I didn't give up. I will take notes carefully and make key points in class. Take ten minutes between classes to see if there are any questions you don't understand. When self-study at night, analyze the wrong questions carefully and check the knowledge omission. Finally, in the exam in May, I got a good score of five points in four subjects. I took an active part in many math competitions and got good results. In addition, I took part in the economic challenge competition with three other classmates and got the qualification to advance to the finals of the China division. After two years of accumulation and precipitation, I began to learn AP statistics by myself in the third year of high school. My learning ability has been greatly improved and I am able to start self-study, which I believe is also an essential ability in university study. This is the fourth transition that SCCSC has given me.
China and Canada have given me various opportunities to develop comprehensively. I gradually became independent from a little girl who was dependent on her parents. From not being able to manage time well, to being able to find a balance between extracurricular activities and study, I avoided difficulties, and now I dare to face up to them and try my best to solve them. In the past two years and more, I have found my future direction and worked hard for it. I want to tell the little girl that she made the right decision.
I appreciate SCCSC for the significant days.
