“梦想不梦想的，要看我能考去哪吧？”

 “Dream or not, should it depend on where I am admitted?”

这句话来自我正在读高二的弟弟，刚从补习班下课回家的他耷拉着双肩，顶着重重的黑眼圈躺在沙发上。

This sentence was from my younger brother in grade 11. He just arrived home from the cram school and is lying on the sofa, with his shoulders slumped and deep black circles under his eyes.

“过去的我就像木舟在既定的航道上驶行，不容偏移”

在过去的三年里，我无数次对比着之前和现在的生活。曾在南昌一中度过了高一学年的我，经历过了弟弟现在所经历着的一切。那一年中，我所有的学习动力来源于成绩单上的排名，在以考试为主体的激流中找寻由成绩所定义的曙光。我并没有办法去选择自己喜欢的亦或是不喜欢的，更没有机会吐露自己的心声——“我累了”，我只能像其他同学一样，在习题册上一遍又一遍地勾画着自己模糊的未来，就像一艘只有船桨的木舟，在既定的航道上驶行，不容偏移，我不知道我脑海中所推演的未来，它们的意义何在。

In the past three years, I compared my life before and now many times. Having spent a year in Nanchang No. 1 High School, I experienced everything that my brother is experiencing. In that year, I focused my mind on to the class rank, seeking for the dawn of good exam results. Neither I had a chance to choose what I like or dislike, nor to confide that I was tired. The only thing I can do was to sketch my future life over and over again in the exercise books. I used to be like a canoe sailing on a given waterway. Any deviation was not tolerated. I didn’t know the meaning of the future life I sketched in my mind.

中国的传统教育抹杀了学生的天性和个性，学生除了逆来顺受，别无选择。而许多家长经常会说，别人家的孩子成绩好，兴趣爱好又多。但我认为，每个学生都各有所长，老师家长们口中的好学生，他们获得好成绩或是因为天赋，或是因为刻苦。在我看来，接受教育更应该建立在越来越清晰的人生道路上，发展自己所长，明确自己的努力方向。

Traditional Chinese education kills students’ nature and personalities; and students have no choice but to accept it. Many parents often say that children from other families have good grades and many interests. But I think that every student has their strength. So-called good students receive high grades for either their talents or diligence. As far as I am concerned, education should be based on clear career planning. It should exploit talents and be oriented to career goals.

 “

天行让我感觉到被关心、被重视、被需要着” 

天行一中的出现，于那时的我而言，无异于一个摆脱传统教育无形桎梏的机会。三年来，在天行老师的帮助下，我目及甚远，所思有长。我原本就像端着小碗接不到知识雨水的人，可天行的老师却能亲自为我盛满。传统高中某种意义上是在批量生产人才，感觉自己更像是件产品，检验过后便投入社会中进行工作。与传统高中截然不同的是，天行老师给予我的是被培养的感觉，我无时无刻感觉到自己被关心、被重视、被需要着。这不仅仅是学习上的给予，更是一种心灵上的慰藉和精神上的鼓励。正因如此，我才真正体会到亦师亦友的感觉，我不仅可以向她们分享学习、生活中的点滴快乐，还可以毫无顾忌地向她们诉说苦楚。天行一中的A-Level课程，让我能够根据自己的兴趣、专长和将来发展的方向去选择自己喜欢的科目，对于今后的道路，我不再彷徨、空想，全新的学习体制所给予我的是更多选择的空间，相对于从前，我有更高的平台去眺望我所展望的未来。

Teensen International School was an opportunity to get rid of traditional education for me. In the past three years, with the help of Teensen teachers, I broadened my vision and exercised my thinking. I used to be a student carrying a small bowl to catch the rain of knowledge, and Teensen teachers fill it in for me in person.Traditional high school education,to some extent,is a mass production;and students are standard products.But here,Teensen teachers carefully cultivate us, make us feel cared,valued and needed.We do not only gain knowledge,but also receive spiritual comfort and encouragement.In this case,I realize that they are not only teachers but also friends to us,who we can share our joy of learning and life,and who we can confide our pain recklessly.The A-level courses in Teensen International School allow us to choose our favorite subjects according to our interests,expertise and future development.So I no longer wander, hesitate,or be dreamy about my future path.Because this brand-new curriculum grants me more choices so that I can realize my future expectations.

认识我的人都称我为“玻璃心男孩”，心思缜密却又过于敏感，常常会因为别人甚至父母的一句话，或者一件小事耿耿于怀。刚到天行的我正处于叛逆期，经常与父母发生争执，有时候我会肆意地发泄情绪，甚至会对老师大吼大叫。我的班主任庄老师可以说是大的受害者了，平时跟庄老师接触的时间长，我对她发泄情绪也不是一两次了。但庄老师怪过我的不礼貌行为，也没有批评过我的品行，她关心的只有我为什么会这样，她总是能心平气和地对待那时非常无礼的我，并教我调整情绪。庄老师总能及时地发现我哪怕一丝一毫的情绪波动，并为我排忧解难。我渐渐学会了控制自己的情绪，能更好地与父母进行沟通，争执、争吵也少了很多。在天行一中，我得到了安慰，学会了为人处事的技能，心灵上也获得了进步，这些都是我在传统高中接受不到的。

I was called “snowflake boy” for my thoughtfulness and sensitivity; and I often take to heart a trifle or trivial words of the others or even my parents.When first arrived Teensen International School, I was in the rebellious stage, often disputed with parents, sometimes took out negative emotions recklessly, and even yelled at the teachers. My class teacher, Ms. Zhuang, sometimes became an easy victim, since we spent the longest time together. But s she never blamed my impoliteness nor criticized my misconduct; all she cares about is why I act like that. She is always calm to me, and teach me how to control my emotions. She can identify my emotional fluctuations in time, and bring me out of difficulty. Gradually, I learned how to control my emotions, and better communicate with my parents. As a result, there are fewer disputes between us. In Teensen International School, I learned how to behave in a socially acceptable way, and made spiritual progress. I can not get these in traditional high schools.

我周围很多人把我的成绩归功于我的努力和天赋，只有我自己清楚地明白我现在所得到的一切缘于我选择了天行一中。在我的高中时光里：起早贪黑的日子使我学会了苦中作乐，每当试卷上的红圈少一点，我都会欢呼雀跃，即便只是细小如尘的进步，都是我努力前行的动力。那时的我正朝着我的目标迈步，哪怕是蹒跚，也无比坚定地前行。我想过我会如这般学习和生活着，天行改变我的，不仅仅在于纸张上吧。

Many attribute my achievements to my efforts and talents, though I clearly understand that everything is a credit to Teensen International School. In my last time in high school, I learned to make fun of dawn-to-dusk days. I cheer for every bit of progress, which kept me going further. At that time, I was striving towards my goal, stumbling but resolute. It never occurred to me that I would study and live in this way. Teensen International School change me significantly.

望每个怀揣梦想莘莘学子，都能拥有自己所期望的未来。

I hope that every student who dreams can achieve their expected future.
