很多人都好奇國(guó)際高中學(xué)生的日常生活是怎樣的，與傳統(tǒng)高中有何不同？今天這篇“天行學(xué)子系列之十七”的作者是來自高一三班（中美班）的程天康Fernando，他筆下描寫的便是同班同學(xué)周燦Kitty在天行的學(xué)習(xí)和生活。在Kitty看來進(jìn)入天行一中是一種幸運(yùn)，也是一種幸福。
夢(mèng)想只要能持久，就能成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。我們不就是生活在夢(mèng)想中的嗎？—— 丁尼生
As long as the dream can last, it can become a reality.Don't we live in our dreams? -- Tennyson
“每個(gè)人的人生中都要做許多選擇題，我能進(jìn)入天行一中是我的幸運(yùn)，也是一種幸福。”周燦同學(xué)告訴我們。
Everyone has to do a lot of multiple choices during their life,I can enter teensen is my luck,it is also a kind of happiness,Kitty told us.
中考結(jié)束后，周燦面對(duì)人生中第一個(gè)沒有任何幫助和指示的分岔路口——擇校，她非常清楚此次的擇校對(duì)她來說可能是最重要的一次選擇。在這個(gè)分岔路口的背后，蘊(yùn)含著無限的可能性，但同時(shí)也是未知數(shù)。在經(jīng)過漫長(zhǎng)的深思熟慮之后，她還是選擇了幼時(shí)的夢(mèng)想——出國(guó)念書。
After the high school entrance examination,Kitty faced the first intersection during her life which is without any help and instructions--select a school.She is very clear that school selection this time may be the most important choices of her,behind this crossroad it contains infinite possibilities,but it's also unknown.After long deliberation,she chose her childhood dream of studying abroad.
“充滿選擇的人生需要認(rèn)真權(quán)衡”
“充滿選擇的人生，需要每個(gè)人的認(rèn)真權(quán)衡?！彼缡钦f。
A life full of choices requires careful weighing.A life full of choices requires everyone's careful weighing,she said.
周燦的父母對(duì)她的最終選擇既擔(dān)心又期待,因?yàn)樗@次完全是自主選擇。早已懂事的周燦明白自己的未來應(yīng)由自己決定，而不是凡事讓父母幫自己做決定，做一個(gè)聽話的提線木偶。當(dāng)?shù)弥軤N的最后決定后，父母也無條件支持她，做女兒身后最堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的后盾。
Kitty's parents are worried and hopeful about her final choice,as she made it all on her own.Kitty has already pretty sensible she knows that her future should be decided by herself, rather than letting her parents help her make decisions to be a obedient marionette. After to know about Kitty's final decision, her parents supported her unconditionally and became the strongest support behind her daughter.
至于為什么最后選擇天行一中，周燦對(duì)此也糾結(jié)了許久。是繼續(xù)在早已習(xí)慣的體制內(nèi)上高中，還是選擇極具挑戰(zhàn)性的國(guó)際高中呢？這個(gè)問題讓平常睡眠質(zhì)量極好的周燦煩昏了頭腦。在做最后決定之前，她先參加了天行一中暑假舉辦的英語演講辯論營(yíng)，也正是這次活動(dòng)，讓她確定了自己來天行一中的想法?！斑@次的辯論營(yíng)給我的沖擊力太大了。我渴望在辯論賽場(chǎng)上和對(duì)手有來有往地唇槍舌戰(zhàn)，用自己的觀點(diǎn)折服所有人?！闭f這話時(shí)她眼神里透露出對(duì)演講與辯論的渴求。也正是暑假的這次演辯營(yíng)，在她的心中種下了一顆小小的種子。開學(xué)后，周燦主動(dòng)請(qǐng)纓，創(chuàng)辦了演辯社，并擔(dān)任了社長(zhǎng)一職。
As for why she finally chose Teensen, Kitty also struggled for a long time. Do you want to continue to go to high school in a system you are used to, or do you want to choose a challenging international high school? This problem makes Kitty, who usually has excellent sleep quality, bored and confused. Before making the final decision, she participated in the English speech debate camp which was held in the summer vacation of teensen . It was this activity that made her determine her idea of coming to teensen. "This debate camp has given me too much impact force. I'm eager to have a fierce battle of tongue with my opponents in the debate arena and persuade everyone with my own point of view. " When she said this, her eyes showed a desire for speech and debate. It was the summer camp that planted a small seed in her heart. After the school began, Kitty volunteered to set up the speech and debate corporation and assume the office of president of that corporation.
“天行讓我變得更快樂”
開放民主的父母使周燦的性格變得堅(jiān)毅且獨(dú)立。在軍訓(xùn)全程中她沒叫苦沒叫累，炙熱的太陽讓人抬不起頭，即便滿身是汗周燦也依舊堅(jiān)持著。這讓每一位教官都對(duì)她贊不絕口，許多同學(xué)感嘆她的認(rèn)真。在采訪中她談到了軍訓(xùn)：“誰都不喜歡軍訓(xùn)，累得全身是汗，但這也是一個(gè)證明自己的好機(jī)會(huì)?，F(xiàn)在還是有許多人認(rèn)為女生比較嬌氣，在體力和毅力上比不過男生。我從不認(rèn)可這樣的說法，這是典型的性別歧視，我希望我能從生活中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴做起，一點(diǎn)一滴地改變這種早已過時(shí)的看法。”
Open-minded and democratic parents make Kitty's character staunch and independent. During the whole military training, she didn't say hard or tired. The hot sun made people can't lift their heads. Even though she was full of sweat, Kitty still insisted. This makes every instructor praise her, many students praised her earnest. In the interview, she talked about military training: "no one likes military training. They are so tired so they sweat all over, but this is also a good opportunity to prove themselves. Now there are still many people think that girls are more delicate than boys in physical strength and perseverance. I don't agree with this statement. It's a typical sexism. I hope I can start from every trifle of my life and change this outdated view bit by bit. "
當(dāng)問到她在天行一中的學(xué)習(xí)如何時(shí)，臉上洋溢著笑容。她對(duì)這里的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍十分喜歡：“我從小學(xué)到初中，我可能頂多和身邊的同學(xué)能搞好關(guān)系，我從沒想過和老師的關(guān)系也能如此融洽。在天行一中學(xué)生和老師既是師生關(guān)系，也是朋友關(guān)系。每次學(xué)習(xí)上有任何問題，都能隨時(shí)找到老師們，整個(gè)過程十分輕松且快樂，老師們完全不像體制內(nèi)學(xué)校的老師那么嚴(yán)肅。雖然學(xué)習(xí)壓力依舊很大，但是學(xué)習(xí)過程變得有趣多了，學(xué)習(xí)的動(dòng)力也多了許多。學(xué)習(xí)不應(yīng)該只是單方面的輸入，普通高中通常是老師在課堂上獨(dú)自授課，臺(tái)下學(xué)生給的反饋和互動(dòng)都十分稀少。初中時(shí)候我就對(duì)這種模式疲倦了，上課也打不起精神，因此我就會(huì)期盼著能來一個(gè)能跟我關(guān)系很好的老師，沒想到在天行一中，每個(gè)老師都能和我們保持十分友好的關(guān)系?！?/p>
When asked how she studied in Teensen , her face was full of smiles. She is very fond of the learning atmosphere here: "from primary school to junior high school, I may have a good relationship with my classmates at most time . I never thought that the relationship with my teachers could be so harmonious. In Teensen students and teachers are not only teachers and students, but also friends. Every time there are any problems in learning, teachers can be found at any time. The whole process are very relaxed and happy. Teachers are not as serious as teachers in traditional school. Although the learning pressure is still great, the learning process has become much more interesting so the motivation for learning has also been much more. Learning should not be just an one-sided input. In ordinary high schools, teachers usually teach alone in the classroom, students' feedback and interaction are very rare. When I was in junior high school, I was tired of this mode and couldn't rouse myself in class, so I would expect to have a teacher who can have a good relationship with me. I didn't expect that in Teensen , every teacher can maintain a very friendly relationship with us. "
在宿舍方面，周燦也十分滿意?！八薰芾蠋煂?duì)我們都很好，宿舍的環(huán)境也十分不錯(cuò)。我是一個(gè)很戀家的人，所以我把自己的宿舍裝飾的很漂亮，和室友們關(guān)系也很處得來，大家該學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候都在很刻苦地學(xué)習(xí)，但是該放松的時(shí)候還是依舊很有趣。我本來以為在宿舍的生活會(huì)讓我很失望，但是沒想到會(huì)這么的快樂，就和家里一樣?！?/p>
In terms of dormitory, Kitty is also very satisfied. "The dormitory teachers are very good to us, and the dormitory environment is also very gorgeous. I am a homesick person, so I decorate my dormitory very softy and sweat, and I have a good relationship with my roommates. When we should study, we all study hard, but when we should relax, it is still very interesting. I thought life in the dormitory would disappoint me, but I didn't expect I can be so happy, it is just like at home. "
“未來會(huì)變得怎么樣呢？我也不知道，這個(gè)問題只有時(shí)間才能解答，而我只需要在每一個(gè)岔道口，選擇我喜歡的且屬于我獨(dú)一無二的路去走?！毕Ｍ軤N在的天行的三年能繼續(xù)保持這種狀態(tài)，考取理想的大學(xué)！
"What will happen in the future? I don't know. This question can only be answered by time, and I just need to choose the way I like and belong to my unique at every intersection " I hope Kitty can keep this kind of state in the three years of Teensen and get her ideal university!
