人生就像滚雪球
重要的是发现很湿的雪和很长的坡
——沃伦·巴菲特
People are like snowballs rolling down a hill, you need a high enough starting point,a long enough slope, and snow that's wet enough.
——Warren Buffett

“长坡厚雪”的成功离不开赛道的正确选择，人生如是，求学亦如是。就读于华茂中加高中课程合作班（以下简称“中加班”）12年级的叶同学，在高三仅三个月的时间里，凭借其卓越的学术成就和全面的个人素质，已荣获悉尼大学两份录取通知书。这一成就不仅彰显了叶同学的个人才华，也映射出华茂中加班的教育成果。
近日，我们和叶同学进行了远程连线对话，除了对他表示祝贺，也希望他能回望自己的的来处，告诉我们他是如何找到属于自己的那条长坡赛道。
“在我心中，华茂中加班不仅仅是一个学习知识的地方，更是我成长的摇篮。记得在课堂上，我们经常会有各种展示和小组作业，这些活动不仅锻炼了我的交流能力，还教会了我如何高效地从网络上搜集和筛选信息。我依然记得，为了准备一次关于历史事件的报告，我和我的小组成员熬夜整理资料，最终我们的努力得到了老师的认可和同学们的赞赏。那一刻，我感受到了团队合作的力量和知识带来的喜悦。
在中加班的学习经历，对我而言是一段宝贵的时光。它不仅让我掌握了适应国外学习方式的技巧，更重要的是，它让我对自己的未来有了更清晰的规划。“知道自己是谁”比“想要成为谁”更重要，如今的我逐渐明白了自己的兴趣所在，以及未来想要追求的目标。在本科如愿之后，我已经确定了新的目标：四年后去新加坡继续深造，攻读研究生学位。我梦想着能够在新加坡的大学里，与来自世界各地的优秀学子一起学习，共同探索知识的边界。
我想对学弟学妹们说：学习的真谛在于学以致用，要亲身体验和实践所学，而非学过即忘。要将所学知识内化于心，以便在需要时能够毫无保留地运用，这才是真正的学问。正如莎士比亚所说，命运掌握在我们自己手中。学习亦是如此，现在就是未来的起点，to be is to do.”
叶同学的成就证明了：在适当的教育环境下，学生能够发掘并实现自己的潜力，迈向理想的未来。华茂中加班将继续致力于为学生提供高质量的教育，助力他们打开通往世界顶尖大学的大门。
我们期待叶同学在大学中继续闪耀，也援引他的原话祝福每位华茂学子学有所成：“现在就是未来的起点，to be is to do.”

The success of “Long Slopes with Thick Snow" is inseparable from the correct choice of the track. Life is like this, and so is learning. Shawn, a 12th-grade student at Huamao NAP Project, in just three months of senior year, has already earned two offers of admission from the University of Sydney, thanks to his outstanding academic achievements and comprehensive personal qualities. This achievement not only showcases Shawn's personal talents but also reflects the educational outcomes of the Huamao NAP Project.
Recently, we had a remote conversation with Shawn, expressing our congratulations and hoping he could look back on his journey and tell us how he reached his own long track.
"In my heart, Huamao NAP is not just a place to learn knowledge but also the cradle of my growth. I remember, in class, we often had various presentations and group assignments.These activities not only honed my communication skills but also taught me how to efficiently gather and filter information from the internet. I still remember staying up late with my group members to organize materials for a report on a historical event. In the end, our efforts were recognized by the teacher and praised by our classmates. At that moment, I felt the power of teamwork and the joy that knowledge brings.
The learning experience at NAP was a precious time for me. It not only helped me master the skills to adapt to studying abroad but, more importantly, it gave me a clearer plan for my future. "Knowing who I am." I am gradually understanding my interests and the goals I want to pursue in the future. My new goal after receiving bachelor offer is to continue my studies in Singapore four years later, pursuing a master degree. I dream of studying at a university in Singapore, learning together with outstanding students from all over the world, and exploring the boundaries of knowledge.
I would like to give my advice to NAPers: The true essence of learning lies in applying what you learn, to experience and practice what you have learned, rather than forgetting it once you've learned it. Internalize the knowledge you've learned so that you can use it without reservation when needed; that is true scholarship. As Shakespeare said, our destiny is in our own hands. Learning is the same; the present is the starting point of the future, to be is to do."
Shawn's achievements prove that in the right educational environment, students can discover and realize their potential, moving towards their ideal future. Huamao NAP Class will continue to strive to provide high-quality education to help students open the doors to the world's top universities.
We anticipate Shawn's continued brilliance at university and echo his sentiments to hope for the success of all Huamao students in their academic pursuits: "The present marks the beginning of the future, to be is to do."
