This newspaper (text/photo reporter She Zheng correspondent Liu Zhen) Li, a senior three student in a foreign language school, was admitted to Yale University and received a full scholarship. This 18-year-old boy made up his mind to go to Yale from the third grade and embarked on a difficult and adventurous road completely different from that of domestic high school students.
The School of Foreign Languages said yesterday that Li has just been officially admitted to Yale University in the United States and won a high scholarship of 533 17 US dollars per year.
Previously, Li TOEFL 1 16 (full score 120), the highest score of sat 1 (American College Entrance Examination) was 2,200 (full score 2,400), and the total score was 2,400.
I believe this is at least the first high school graduate in Xiamen who was directly admitted by the top three universities in the world.
I will attend the Global Youth Summit next year.
Only 60 people from all over the world will attend, and Li and a senior high school student in Beijing will be lucky enough to go.
Yesterday, Li came back from Guangzhou with a visa-next year 1 month, he will represent China to attend the Global Youth Summit-the "World Changer" forum. This summit is attended by 60 outstanding young people aged 16- 19, and is held once a year. This year, among many candidates, the Cultural and Educational Center of the British Embassy in China finally selected Li and a senior high school student from Beijing as outstanding youth representatives in China to attend the summit, and gave them full sponsorship.
The summit will also produce six young people representing the world to attend the annual summit of the World Economic Forum in Davos next year. The British Embassy in China recommended Li as an excellent candidate to the forum headquarters.
However, Li's parents politely declined the media interview last night. His mother, who works in a TV station, said that at this moment, he needs to calm down.
However, some of the aura of this handsome guy seems to be "hidden"-he made up his mind to go to Yale in the third year, and began to prepare for it and approached his goal step by step.
Set up Yale dream in the third grade.
Li chose a completely different road from domestic high school students, which was both hard and risky.
In a sense, Li chose a completely different path from domestic high school students. This road is hard and risky-Yale needs more than just exam results. In Li's three years in high school, it must be proved.
Because of his choice, Li also has many experiences that high school students don't have-he looks for various activities to exercise himself. For example, this year, he participated in the elite project of American high school students, "68th Junior State Man of Chinese mainland", and he was the only American representative in this activity. The China teenager argued with Americans in English and finally won the third place in the debate among 127 students. Paper 100, 98 points, was elected as the male spokesperson for the graduation ceremony.
The boy also devoted himself to a series of social care activities. He and his companions personally visited AIDS orphans in aids village, Fuyang, Anhui. In Xiamen, Li and three other high school students organized an organization called "Blind Heart Dance Audiovisual Club", and insisted on going to the Blind Association to explain movies and hold singing competitions for blind members every month.
Last year, Li stood out from ten thousand students. As four young expedition members, I participated in the expedition activities of the Gobi dinosaur cemetery in Mongolia and Lake Baikal in Russia sponsored by CCTV.
The science student also has a strong interest in international relations and politics. He has represented foreign language schools in the Model United Nations Competition held by Peking University, Fudan University and Foreign Affairs College, and won a series of honors such as "Best Representative Award".
Even the mother envied the son.
He knows how to think independently and how to approach his goal.
It should be said that the successful realization of this China high school student's Yale dream also benefited from his school and family. Li's mother said that the lively style of study and free style of foreign language school gave her son active thinking.
Li's mother calls herself a friend of her son. When asked if her son's Yale dream was doubted by her three years ago, she said that she didn't think so much at that time, only felt that she should support it as long as it was good for her body and mind.
Now, outsiders only see the bright side of Li See Yuan Zheguang. Li's mother said that behind the scenes, he worked hard for this, and the most obvious thing was that he often stayed up late.
She said that even I admired him. He knows how to think independently and how to get close to his goal.
