學(xué)生感言
1,、最大的成長(zhǎng)是什么,？
Sino Elite helped me understand, cherish, and enjoy the application process. I would meet with my advisor once a month or so, and we would eat together and talk about my new experiences and next steps. I could tell them about a new school project I was excited about, an interesting book I read, or even just funny stories! We would joke, chat, and get productive in the same afternoon.
I learnt to love every stage of my growth, from not knowing what the TOEFL was, to writing my essays in the Sino Elite office, and how to interact with the interviewers so they can get to know me as best as possible. They are more than an organization or a provider of numerous camps that helped me strengthen my artistic and theatrical skills, they are a second family. Sino Elite didn’t just come with teachers who were experts on US boarding schools, it also came with new opportunities to grow as a person (not just a student, because we all are more than our titles), and strangers who became my friends.
驊英幫助我理解、珍惜,、享受申請(qǐng)的每一步,。我大概每個(gè)月會(huì)見顧問老師一次，我們一起吃飯,，聊我新的經(jīng)歷以及下一步怎么做,。我可以告訴他們學(xué)校里令我興奮的新項(xiàng)目，我讀過的有趣的書,，甚至還有一些有趣的故事,！整整一個(gè)下午，我們會(huì)開玩笑,、閑聊,、并高效地完成工作。
在驊英,，我學(xué)會(huì)了熱愛自己成長(zhǎng)的每一個(gè)階段：一開始不知道什么是托福的我,，在驊英寫文書的我，以及面試時(shí)盡可能讓招生官了解的我,。在驊英,，我的藝術(shù)和舞臺(tái)技能得到加強(qiáng)，對(duì)于我來說,，驊英不僅僅是無數(shù)夏令營(yíng)的組織者和提供者,，更是我的第二個(gè)家。在驊英,，你不僅能遇到最了解美國(guó)寄宿學(xué)校的專家,，也能收獲更多成長(zhǎng)（不僅僅是作為學(xué)生這一方面），此外還有和陌生人成為朋友的機(jī)會(huì),。
But thinking back to it all, my favorite part about Sino Elite are the kind, understanding, and always available teachers. When I became worried or anxious about anything, I could call a Sino Elite teacher. One day, I was feeling extremely stressed before my student council class rep election, so decided to call Nana (a Sino Elite teacher). She helped me with my speech ideas and gave me a huge boost of confidence. I ended up with the role for the third year, and from then on, I would always call Nana when I felt stuck. They take time out of their daily lives to listen to me and give me great advice, not just about boarding schools, but life in general. They are committed, and this inspires me.
但回首整個(gè)經(jīng)歷,，我最喜歡的是驊英老師們的善良，對(duì)我的理解,，以及有求必應(yīng),。當(dāng)我對(duì)任何事情，不僅僅是關(guān)于申請(qǐng),，還有生活的方方面面感到擔(dān)心或焦慮,，我隨時(shí)可以聯(lián)系驊英的老師。
學(xué)校學(xué)生會(huì)選舉的前一天,，我感到特別大的壓力,，于是決定打電話給驊英的老師,。她給我出主意，并鼓勵(lì)我自信,。最終,，我獲得了這個(gè)連任三年的職務(wù)，從此以后,，每當(dāng)我感到困惑時(shí),，我總會(huì)聯(lián)系顧問老師們。她們不管多忙,，都會(huì)抽出時(shí)間來傾聽,，并給我最好的建議。他們的這種奉獻(xiàn)精神,，深深的打動(dòng)了我,。
2、對(duì)其他同學(xué)的建議
