It’s Me

Hi, I’m Jerry Lin.How time flies, like the blink of an eye, junior high school has graduated. Looking back on the past, the four years of Wanyuan life is still fresh in my mind. The laughter of my classmates and the words of my teachers are still reverberating. I remember when I was in sixth grade when I was really a full sprout new, in this big campus appears so tender and green. Looking at myself now, being more mature and optimistic, have the ability to shoulder more responsibilities and a clearer goals in life. It was Wanyuan that changed me.

I am very grateful to WANYUAN for providing me with all-round, diversified development direction and ability cultivation in various aspects. This continued throughout my junior high school years, from the beginning of sixth grade to the end of ninth grade.

First, the orchestra. When I was in grade 6, I joined wanyuan Orchestra because of my interest in percussion. At first, I felt uneasy about participating in this unfamiliar group because of my lack of experience and the fear that I might do something wrong. But gradually, I found that I was wrong. The elder ones in percussion music is kind and friendly, and will go out of their way to help us these cute new, which makes me very motivated. After rehearsals, failures and trials, my ability has been greatly improved, not only in percussion, but also with the ability to assume more responsibilities and the spirit of courage and unity. From being a newcomer to serving as the head of percussion, WANYUAN Union has brought me development in all aspects.

I like cycling very much. In my eyes, bicycles are not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of perseverance, explosive power and speed. In order to hone myself and broaden my horizon, I once cycled 360 kilometers around Qinghai Lake and 100 kilometers around Chongming Island and Dianshan Lake in the summer vacation of grade eight. From daily physical training before riding, to overcoming the physical obstacles of the road and high altitude when riding, to finally overcoming the psychological obstacles of the highway, the road is a cliff. All this, when arrived at the finish line, then in the heart of a blossoming flower, tell me: it was all worth it.

Looking back on the four years of wanyuan life, there are too many regrets, as well as too many witnesses I grow up again and again. But looking at the overall situation, It is WANYUAN that ushered in the first transformation in my life and made me feel full and happy. From it, I have diversified thinking ability, stronger learning ability and comprehensive ability.

Now, I have been a senior high school student. But I will never forget SUIS, she is my harbor, I thrive in it. Now I have set sail, I will keep whatSUIS had brought me with the rest of my life. Thank you, SUIS.

SUIS WY in my eyes

In my point of view, SUIS is not only a school. She’s more of a home to me. She has high quality hardware facilities, ready to support students; Learning atmosphere is very harmonious, the students’ solidarity and friendship, also let me have a strong sense of belonging and honor. The most important thing is that WANYUAN pays attention to the characteristics of diversified development and the positive and open mind of teachers and students, which has benefited me a lot.

What impressed me most was the projects of DT class and science fair. In DT class, students work in groups of two or three to solve problems and projects presented by the teacher. We have great autonomy in class, which cultivates our divergent thinking and practical ability. At the same time, in the process of making projects, we will also encounter various problems. Again, these problems are open and we can play with them to solve them. This way of learning has been applied to all aspects of my learning life, which has benefited me a lot.

Many museum studies, research trips to Qufu, one study project after another, and sports activities have made me feel the warmth of the SUIS family. From it, I unconsciously formed a lot of good habits, comprehensive ability has also been strengthened in the activities and challenges. I think this is the charm of Wanyuan Union.

Jerry in Teacher’s Eyes

He has always been a kind and decent child, and a student who strives to do his best in everything. He has an attitude to study and can do well in all study tasks, and he has excellent study ability to achieve excellent academic results, and winning many scholarships from the middle school is the best proof of his hard work. Under his shy appearance, he has a strong and wise heart, and while he has good and progress, he also does not forget to share it with his classmates and friends, brightening himself as well as others. On the road of life, I believe this handsome boy will always understand the wise advice of his teachers, keep diligent and hardworking, and run towards his high dream!
