很多人都好奇國際高中學生的日常生活是怎樣的，與傳統高中有何不同？今天這篇“天行學子系列之十七”的作者是來自高一三班（中美班）的程天康Fernando，他筆下描寫的便是同班同學周燦Kitty在天行的學習和生活。在Kitty看來進入天行一中是一種幸運，也是一種幸福。
夢想只要能持久，就能成為現實。我們不就是生活在夢想中的嗎？—— 丁尼生
As long as the dream can last, it can become a reality.Don't we live in our dreams? -- Tennyson
“每個人的人生中都要做許多選擇題，我能進入天行一中是我的幸運，也是一種幸福?！敝軤N同學告訴我們。
Everyone has to do a lot of multiple choices during their life,I can enter teensen is my luck,it is also a kind of happiness,Kitty told us.
中考結束后，周燦面對人生中第一個沒有任何幫助和指示的分岔路口——擇校，她非常清楚此次的擇校對她來說可能是最重要的一次選擇。在這個分岔路口的背后，蘊含著無限的可能性，但同時也是未知數。在經過漫長的深思熟慮之后，她還是選擇了幼時的夢想——出國念書。
After the high school entrance examination,Kitty faced the first intersection during her life which is without any help and instructions--select a school.She is very clear that school selection this time may be the most important choices of her,behind this crossroad it contains infinite possibilities,but it's also unknown.After long deliberation,she chose her childhood dream of studying abroad.
“充滿選擇的人生需要認真權衡”
“充滿選擇的人生，需要每個人的認真權衡?！彼缡钦f。
A life full of choices requires careful weighing.A life full of choices requires everyone's careful weighing,she said.
周燦的父母對她的最終選擇既擔心又期待,因為他這次完全是自主選擇。早已懂事的周燦明白自己的未來應由自己決定，而不是凡事讓父母幫自己做決定，做一個聽話的提線木偶。當得知周燦的最后決定后，父母也無條件支持她，做女兒身后最堅強的后盾。
Kitty's parents are worried and hopeful about her final choice,as she made it all on her own.Kitty has already pretty sensible she knows that her future should be decided by herself, rather than letting her parents help her make decisions to be a obedient marionette. After to know about Kitty's final decision, her parents supported her unconditionally and became the strongest support behind her daughter.
至于為什么最后選擇天行一中，周燦對此也糾結了許久。是繼續在早已習慣的體制內上高中，還是選擇極具挑戰性的國際高中呢？這個問題讓平常睡眠質量極好的周燦煩昏了頭腦。在做最后決定之前，她先參加了天行一中暑假舉辦的英語演講辯論營，也正是這次活動，讓她確定了自己來天行一中的想法?！斑@次的辯論營給我的沖擊力太大了。我渴望在辯論賽場上和對手有來有往地唇槍舌戰，用自己的觀點折服所有人?！闭f這話時她眼神里透露出對演講與辯論的渴求。也正是暑假的這次演辯營，在她的心中種下了一顆小小的種子。開學后，周燦主動請纓，創辦了演辯社，并擔任了社長一職。
As for why she finally chose Teensen, Kitty also struggled for a long time. Do you want to continue to go to high school in a system you are used to, or do you want to choose a challenging international high school? This problem makes Kitty, who usually has excellent sleep quality, bored and confused. Before making the final decision, she participated in the English speech debate camp which was held in the summer vacation of teensen . It was this activity that made her determine her idea of coming to teensen. "This debate camp has given me too much impact force. I'm eager to have a fierce battle of tongue with my opponents in the debate arena and persuade everyone with my own point of view. " When she said this, her eyes showed a desire for speech and debate. It was the summer camp that planted a small seed in her heart. After the school began, Kitty volunteered to set up the speech and debate corporation and assume the office of president of that corporation.
“天行讓我變得更快樂”
開放民主的父母使周燦的性格變得堅毅且獨立。在軍訓全程中她沒叫苦沒叫累，炙熱的太陽讓人抬不起頭，即便滿身是汗周燦也依舊堅持著。這讓每一位教官都對她贊不絕口，許多同學感嘆她的認真。在采訪中她談到了軍訓：“誰都不喜歡軍訓，累得全身是汗，但這也是一個證明自己的好機會?，F在還是有許多人認為女生比較嬌氣，在體力和毅力上比不過男生。我從不認可這樣的說法，這是典型的性別歧視，我希望我能從生活中的點點滴滴做起，一點一滴地改變這種早已過時的看法?！?/p>
Open-minded and democratic parents make Kitty's character staunch and independent. During the whole military training, she didn't say hard or tired. The hot sun made people can't lift their heads. Even though she was full of sweat, Kitty still insisted. This makes every instructor praise her, many students praised her earnest. In the interview, she talked about military training: "no one likes military training. They are so tired so they sweat all over, but this is also a good opportunity to prove themselves. Now there are still many people think that girls are more delicate than boys in physical strength and perseverance. I don't agree with this statement. It's a typical sexism. I hope I can start from every trifle of my life and change this outdated view bit by bit. "
當問到她在天行一中的學習如何時，臉上洋溢著笑容。她對這里的學習氛圍十分喜歡：“我從小學到初中，我可能頂多和身邊的同學能搞好關系，我從沒想過和老師的關系也能如此融洽。在天行一中學生和老師既是師生關系，也是朋友關系。每次學習上有任何問題，都能隨時找到老師們，整個過程十分輕松且快樂，老師們完全不像體制內學校的老師那么嚴肅。雖然學習壓力依舊很大，但是學習過程變得有趣多了，學習的動力也多了許多。學習不應該只是單方面的輸入，普通高中通常是老師在課堂上獨自授課，臺下學生給的反饋和互動都十分稀少。初中時候我就對這種模式疲倦了，上課也打不起精神，因此我就會期盼著能來一個能跟我關系很好的老師，沒想到在天行一中，每個老師都能和我們保持十分友好的關系?！?/p>
When asked how she studied in Teensen , her face was full of smiles. She is very fond of the learning atmosphere here: "from primary school to junior high school, I may have a good relationship with my classmates at most time . I never thought that the relationship with my teachers could be so harmonious. In Teensen students and teachers are not only teachers and students, but also friends. Every time there are any problems in learning, teachers can be found at any time. The whole process are very relaxed and happy. Teachers are not as serious as teachers in traditional school. Although the learning pressure is still great, the learning process has become much more interesting so the motivation for learning has also been much more. Learning should not be just an one-sided input. In ordinary high schools, teachers usually teach alone in the classroom, students' feedback and interaction are very rare. When I was in junior high school, I was tired of this mode and couldn't rouse myself in class, so I would expect to have a teacher who can have a good relationship with me. I didn't expect that in Teensen , every teacher can maintain a very friendly relationship with us. "
在宿舍方面，周燦也十分滿意?！八薰芾蠋煂ξ覀兌己芎?，宿舍的環境也十分不錯。我是一個很戀家的人，所以我把自己的宿舍裝飾的很漂亮，和室友們關系也很處得來，大家該學習的時候都在很刻苦地學習，但是該放松的時候還是依舊很有趣。我本來以為在宿舍的生活會讓我很失望，但是沒想到會這么的快樂，就和家里一樣?！?/p>
In terms of dormitory, Kitty is also very satisfied. "The dormitory teachers are very good to us, and the dormitory environment is also very gorgeous. I am a homesick person, so I decorate my dormitory very softy and sweat, and I have a good relationship with my roommates. When we should study, we all study hard, but when we should relax, it is still very interesting. I thought life in the dormitory would disappoint me, but I didn't expect I can be so happy, it is just like at home. "
“未來會變得怎么樣呢？我也不知道，這個問題只有時間才能解答，而我只需要在每一個岔道口，選擇我喜歡的且屬于我獨一無二的路去走?！毕Ｍ軤N在的天行的三年能繼續保持這種狀態，考取理想的大學！
"What will happen in the future? I don't know. This question can only be answered by time, and I just need to choose the way I like and belong to my unique at every intersection " I hope Kitty can keep this kind of state in the three years of Teensen and get her ideal university!
