I learned about the International Department of No. 1 High school by chance. Although my grades in my middle school were excellent, and I could probably be promoted to the high school grade of my school at that time, I could also foresee the fierce competition I would face. In the atmosphere of "experts", I was a little confused about my future. Although I am a " tranquil " person, I also need to find an "insurance" for my export in three years. At this time, the achievements of the "top 100 stable" of the International Department of No. 1 High school came into my eyes. I participated in the open day, passed the evaluation test and talked with the recruitment teachers for a long time.

With the deepening of understanding, I was surprised to find that the style of international department roke my understanding of "international school = noble school". For many families, studying in the international department is very cost-effective. The courses and teaching system used by teachers are very mature. The application, language and courses are included in the tuition and completed in the school. Because the scale of the international department is small, teachers can pay attention to each student, and even customize and adjust some appropriate courses according to the needs of individual students.

"You can take the top 100 university as the basic goal, and then cooperate with the teachers' learning suggestions to sprint to a higher goal!" For further education, the enrollment teacher did not make excessive commitments. I was convinced that I was "pragmatic" and " tranquil ".

When I first entered school, I "threatened" to only go to universities with scholarships in the future! Because I don't want my parents to spend too much money on me, I think I can be independent and do something for them as soon as possible. After learning my thoughts, my family and the teachers of the international department did not "describe a nice cake" for me. Instead, they imperceptibly followed up my thoughts in G10, planned a suitable way for me to improve, and reminded me of the importance of "first degree" when confirming that I have enough ability. Being admitted to a well ranked undergraduate course is likely to directly determine my future living standard. This is a better way to repay your family!

The daily study in international department is not as easy as rumored. In the course that should have been relatively easy in the first two years, we need to learn the contents of the college entrance examination for high schools. While laying a good foundation, it can also help us get familiar with different disciplines, understand our interests and hobbies, and gradually clarify our professional goals.

The diversity of activities is also a major feature of the international department. You can do many activities you are interested in outside the classroom, choose what you like and what suits you, so that you can better understand your interests and decide your future.

In terms of getting along with teachers and students, I also see another way. Teachers and students are more equal. Teachers respect our opinions very much. After the course, they will carefully ask students for their suggestions on the course, and then improve the course according to your suggestions until they find the most suitable way for us. In the later stage, the courses I chose were closer to the university system, and daily homework also accounted for a considerable proportion. The teacher needs to assist me and help me adapt to college life in advance. This is also my preliminary preparation for entering research-based learning.

The changes in the past three years might be that they have developed an ability of "autonomous learning". In recent years, the importance of this ability has been paid more and more attention. I have actively participated in various competitions and research activities. Because the consciousness of learning and the future road planning are clear, many things are expected in my learning process. I began to understand a lot of different professional knowledge, began to understand most of the basic common sense, and then began to cross think. To this end, I went to Beijing to participate in the excellent training scientific research project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is also the first time I have invested in "research" study. In my career planning class, I am always the classmate who loves to "ask a lot".

"If it sounds reasonable, do it! If you can't, keep learning!" Having formed such a learning method, we can gradually develop our ideas. After finding a suitable study habit, you can extend to all places like a branch. In the past three years, I have gradually realized that I am not a professional person, but more suitable for mixed and multi-disciplinary comprehensive disciplines. So I chose sociology, which may bring me more opportunities in the future.

I think I am a " tranquil" person. I just try my best to apply for the University. The offers received from UCL and Edinburgh are unexpected but reasonable. After all, in the early stage, we also prepared for research, study and competition carefully, although not entirely to receive an offer. Receiving the offer from UCL is a new beginning for me. It opens another door for me. I cannot live up to myself, nor can I live up to the efforts of my family and school behind my back!

Rely on parents at home and alumni outside!

I learned that Blakie from my alma mater was admitted to UCL,
