Regarding SNA
每一段文字,都是一颗种子,埋藏在心底,等待着时间与感悟的滋养。当我们停下脚步,用心倾听学生们的心声,那些点点滴滴的思考和情感仿佛在笔尖悄然萌发。书写,不仅是表达的过程,更是一次次与自我对话的机会。
Each paragraph is like a seed, buried deep in the heart, waiting for time and reflection to nourish it. When we pause and truly listen to the voices of students, those scattered thoughts and emotions seem to quietly sprout from the tip of the pen. Writing is not merely a process of expression; it is also an opportunity for continuous dialogue with oneself.
“在来北美之前,我并不认为存在快乐学习一说,但在这短短几天里,我的看法改变了,我在这里找到了更多学习的快乐!”
——明同学
"Before coming to SNA, I didn't believe there was such a thing as joyful learning, but in just a few short days, my perspective has changed. I've found more joy in learning here!"
学习也可以是快乐的,学校应当是明媚的。这里的课堂不仅仅是知识的传递,更是启发与成长的沃土。正如太阳花在阳光下茁壮成长,学生们在这样的环境中,得以向着知识的阳光绽放,迎接每一个充满希望的晨曦。
Learning can indeed be joyful, and a school should be a place full of brightness. The classrooms here are not just spaces for the transfer of knowledge; they are fertile ground for inspiration and growth. Just as sunflowers thrive under the sunlight, students in this environment can bloom towards the sunlight of knowledge, welcoming each hopeful dawn.

“我是今年SNA的一名新生,经过几天的学习,我发现这所学校与我之前就读的学校不一样,这里有充分自由的选课制度,让我们更好发挥自己的长处。我喜欢心理学,在这里我有机会与专业的心理学老师学习、交流、探讨。”
——Zery
"I am a new student at SNA this year, and after a few days of studying, I discovered that this school is different from the one I previously attended. Here, we have a highly flexible course selection system that allows us to better showcase our strengths. I enjoy psychology, and at SNA, I have the opportunity to learn, communicate, and explore with professional psychology teachers."
给足你空间,给足你自由,给足你大胆往前走的力量与勇气。我们相信,只有在这样的环境中,学生才能真正释放潜力,勇敢追寻自己的梦想。而我们,则一直是温柔的托举。
We provide you with enough space, enough freedom, and enough strength and courage to move boldly forward. We believe that only in such an environment can students truly unlock their potential and bravely pursue their dreams. As for us, we will always be the gentle support lifting them up.

“新学期,我到了一个新环境,我非常感谢赵老师推荐我做志愿者,让我发挥我善于交际的特长,我的热心让入校的新生非常开心,我特别有成就感!”
——胡同学
"In the new semester, I found myself in a new environment, and I am very grateful to Teacher Zhao for recommending me as a volunteer. It allowed me to use my strengths in communication, and my enthusiasm made the new students entering the school very happy. I feel a great sense of accomplishment!"
1+1永远>2,助人不仅是一种美德,更是一种习惯。通过帮助他人,我不仅促进了彼此的融洽,也让自己在这个过程中成长了许多。
1+1 is always greater than 2. Helping others is not only a virtue but also a habit. Through helping others, I not only fostered harmony between us but also grew significantly in the process.

“来到北美的校园已经一年了,这一年的校园时光中,有苦有甜,有开心也有迷茫。初次来北美开启学习是2023年的夏令营,对于体制内转国际赛道的我来说会有不适应。夏令营帮助我很好地过渡,真正了解国际方向,我还结交了很多好朋友,最后成了同桌,我觉得这里真是沃土!”
——Gabriel Zhou
"It has been a year since I came to SNA, and during this time, I've experienced both challenges and joy, moments of happiness as well as confusion. My first experience at SNA was the summer camp in 2023. Transitioning from the traditional education system to an international track was initially difficult for me. However, the summer camp helped me transition smoothly and truly understand the international direction. I also made many good friends, some of whom became my deskmates. I truly feel that this place is fertile ground for growth!"
在我们的校园里,每位学生都是一颗种子,我们用心耕耘,为他们提供丰富的学习资源和全方位的支持。从学术探索到个人成长,我们关注每个细节,帮助他们找到最适合自己的学习方式和成长路径。北美的教育环境不仅仅是课程的堆砌,更是激发潜能的沃土。这里,学生们不仅汲取知识,还在广阔天地中迎接未来挑战,找到属于自己的璀璨星辰。
In our campus, every student is like a seed, and we carefully nurture them by providing abundant learning resources and comprehensive support. From academic exploration to personal growth, we pay attention to every detail, helping them find the learning methods and development paths that suit them best. The educational environment at SNA is not just about accumulating courses, but a fertile ground for unlocking potential. Here, students not only acquire knowledge but also embrace future challenges in a vast world, discovering their own shining stars.

“我遇到了天使舍友,我们一起去餐厅,一起上课,一起上晚自习,一起在寝室讨论白天遇到的难题,我们还约好以后一起考同一所大学。”
——Shelley
"I met an amazing roommate who feels like an angel. We go to the cafeteria together, attend classes together, have evening study sessions together, and discuss the challenges we encountered during the day in our dorm room. We've even made plans to apply to the same university in the future."
我们深知,校园不仅是学习的地方,更是学生成长的社会舞台。在这里,每一餐、每节课、每次讨论都是相互支持与成长的过程。遇到像“天使舍友”这样的伙伴,学生们在学习和生活中都能得到鼓励与帮助,这种友谊让校园生活更加丰富多彩,并为未来的共同目标奠定基础。我们的校园致力于营造支持和包容的环境,让每个学生在这里找到归属和成长的动力。
We understand that a campus is not only a place for learning but also a social stage for students' growth. Here, every meal, every class, and every discussion is a process of mutual support and development. Meeting a "roommate like an angel" provides students with encouragement and help in both their studies and daily lives. These friendships make campus life more vibrant and lay the foundation for shared future goals. Our school is committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student can find a sense of belonging and the motivation to grow.
“爸爸妈妈,这次是我第一次离开家到其他地方生活,第一次离开你们,心情难免难过,但是我在学校里认识了很多朋友,我们很有共同语言,我们一起学习一起生活,一起排解对你们的思念,你们放心,我肯定会在学校里过得很好。爸爸妈妈,我爱你们哦~”
——白同学
"Mom and Dad, this is my first time living away from home, the first time being apart from you, so it's natural to feel a bit sad. However, I've made many friends at school, and we share a lot in common. We study and live together, and help each other cope with missing home. Don't worry, I will definitely do well here at school. Mom and Dad, I love you!"
稚嫩的字体传达了纯真的情感,让人感动。离开家是孩子的必修课,这不仅仅是身体上的,更是心灵上的成长。从最初的依依不舍到逐渐适应,这段经历使他们更加坚强和自信。校园里回荡着他们的笑声和努力,他们在这里结识了志同道合的朋友,共同面对挑战。爸爸妈妈,请放心,您的孩子在这里昂首迎接每一天,像展翅飞鸟般追逐梦想。
The tender handwriting conveys pure emotions, touching the heart. Leaving home is a necessary lesson for every child, not just physically but also emotionally. From the initial reluctance to the gradual adaptation, this experience helps them grow stronger and more confident. Their laughter and hard work echo through the campus as they meet like-minded friends and face challenges together. Mom and Dad, rest assured that your child is here, facing each day with confidence, chasing their dreams like a bird spreading its wings.
“亲爱的爸爸妈妈,你们在重庆都还好吗?我想跟你们分享我的近况:刚开始我会有不适、有阻力、有担忧,但是我安慰自己,老师、同学也不断鼓励我,数学难题也慢慢被我啃下来了,我坚信我依旧是最优秀的那一个!”
——高同学
"Dear Mom and Dad, how are you doing in Chongqing? I want to share my recent experiences with you: at first, I felt uncomfortable, faced challenges, and had worries, but I kept reassuring myself, and my teachers and classmates kept encouraging me. Gradually, I managed to tackle the difficult math problems. I firmly believe that I am still the best!"
每个人的成长都难免会遇到挑战,而这些挑战正是磨练和成长的机会。在这里,困难成为了成长的催化剂,每一份鼓励都是她前行的动力。虽然起初遇到了一些难题,但她正在适应并找到了自己的节奏。凭借坚韧和努力,她相信自己的未来将会更加光明。她非常感谢你们一直以来的支持和关爱,并承诺会继续努力,不辜负你们的期望。
Everyone’s growth inevitably comes with challenges, and these challenges are precisely the opportunities for honing and development. Here, difficulties become catalysts for growth, and every bit of encouragement fuels her journey forward. Although she faced some obstacles at first, she is now adapting and finding her own rhythm. With resilience and hard work, she believes her future will be even brighter. She is deeply grateful for your constant support and care, and she promises to continue striving, ensuring she lives up to your expectations.

未完待续
篇幅有限,原谅我们不能在此一一展示。但在老师们的努力下,相信每位参与写作的学生都将再一次喜欢上这座校园,喜欢上在这里的自己。
Due to limited space, we regret that we cannot showcase each piece here. However, with the efforts of our teachers, we believe that every student who participated in the writing process will once again fall in love with this campus and with the person they are becoming here.
喜欢,是一件多么简单却又深刻的事情。它不需要繁复的理由,往往源于某个瞬间、一段时光,或者是一次用心的创作。当他们笔尖划过纸张,心中所感所思渐渐成形,校园里的每一棵树、每一道光影,都在文字里复活,变得鲜活生动。或许正是在这样的书写中,他们重新发现了这片熟悉的土地,也找回了那个曾经被忽略的自己。
Liking something is such a simple yet profound experience. It doesn’t require complicated reasons; it often stems from a fleeting moment, a period of time, or a heartfelt creation. As their pens glide across the paper, their thoughts and feelings gradually take shape, and every tree, every beam of light in the campus comes alive through their words, becoming vibrant and full of life. Perhaps it is through this act of writing that they rediscover this familiar place and, in the process, reclaim the part of themselves that had once been overlooked.
而这种喜欢,带着成长的味道。它不仅是对校园的怀念,更是一种对自我的认同与肯定。在不断书写和探索中,学生们找到了表达自我的方式,他们的思想和情感如同风中的蒲公英,随文字飘散到更广阔的世界。正如老师们所希望的那样,他们开始在每一个字句中,与过去的自己和解,与现在的自己相拥,期待着未来的自己绽放。
And this sense of affection carries the essence of growth. It is not only a fondness for the campus but also a recognition and affirmation of oneself. Through continuous writing and exploration, students have discovered ways to express themselves. Their thoughts and emotions, like dandelions in the wind, drift into a broader world through their words. Just as their teachers had hoped, they begin to reconcile with their past selves, embrace their present, and look forward to the blossoming of their future selves with every sentence they write.
