马术少女Estrella:我想参加奥运会为中国夺金!

2023年8月,荷兰马术比赛上,美高学子吴晶晶拿到了两金一银的好成绩。在马背上,她是英姿飒爽的骑士女孩,回到美高,她是爱笑、好动的Estrella。在她身上,我们得以窥见青春最美好的品质:怀抱梦想、一往无前、决不放弃。






着调的优秀

在中国最大的搜索引擎里搜索吴晶晶,会出现这样的词条:


“吴晶晶斩获江苏省运会场地障碍地杆赛冠军 

吴晶晶将盛装舞步和越野赛后的领先优势保持到比赛结束,将两项赛和三项赛冠军收入囊中。加上首个比赛日的盛装舞步个人赛冠军以及80CM级别的团体赛亚军,吴晶晶夺得3金1银,成为本届锦标赛最大的赢家。”



学马术四年,她参加过很多比赛,得过很多次奖牌。

她说:“刚参加比赛的时候我很紧张,经验足了以后我就不紧张了。现在参加省内的比赛我的成绩可以做到至少获得一枚金牌。”



在马术运动员的世界里,才华与汗水并肩而行。

在Estrella看来,自己的成绩来源于30%的天赋和70%的努力。



“我运动细胞很发达,但马术训练非常注重基础,一定要稳扎稳打。你在训练时付出了多少时间和精力,这些都会反映在赛场表现上。为了训练,这些年,我和我的家人从上海辗转到无锡,再到苏州上学,训练场在江阴。为了练马术,我放弃了几乎所有休息时间。”



马是我最好的朋友

平时学业和训练都非常紧张,Estrella花在马匹身上的时间比和朋友在一起的时间还要多。给它们洗澡、喂食,和它们交谈,这是她与这些四腿伙伴们共享的独特情感纽带。


“我从来没想过放弃,虽然训练很晒很累,可我的马始终陪着我,它们都没有抱怨,我觉得我更加没理由埋怨我热爱的东西。”


这份对“战友”的关爱在她参加比赛时得到了回报。


“你对马好,马也会对你好。比赛的时候,也许我会紧张,但我知道我的马会带我赢。”


多年接受的马术教育,除了骑乘技巧,更重要的是培养了Estrella的自信心;临危不惧的胆识;对动物的关怀意识;这些受益终生的经验和价值观不仅是她自己的巨大骄傲,也是学校和家人的骄傲。



选择美高的理由

比起同龄人仍在纠结每张试卷上分数的高低起伏,Estrella见识过更大的赛场。心性和意志早就磨炼得远超一般的孩子。把热爱发挥到极致,把目光放得长远,目标一旦定下,就要脚踏实地去实现。


“我选择美高是因为我的目标院校是英国G5和美国的藤校。我需要学习一些国际课程,学校的双语教学也有利于我的大学申请。一人一课表可以个性定制我的选课。我雅思首考分数是6.5,如果想冲刺顶尖大学的话,我需要7.5-8的分数,还得做得更好。”


当老师和同学说起她取得的荣誉时,Estrella很淡定,在她心目中,荣誉、成就、兴奋这些是马术。十分危险的摔马,重复枯燥的训练,被压缩的娱乐时间,想得冠军的焦虑,这些也是马术。比起奖牌和得失,她更喜欢享受比赛,和自己的马儿一起并肩作战的感觉。


对自己未来的发展方向Estrella非常明确:


“我的想法是先打全运会,再打亚运会,最后是奥运会代表中国队参赛拿奖。”


当下的付出虽然辛苦,但对未来而言,全部都是礼物。坐在马背上的她,虽有助力,但也和其她人一样,不积硅步无以至千里。







班主任评价

乐观、稳定、积极向上是每一个和Estrella接触过的老师会得出的共同评价。


班主任说:“晶晶是个聪明、活泼好动的女孩,在她身上看不到一点娇气。在学习上有理想、渴求进步、踏实认真;在马术的训练中,她勤于练习,努力突破和提高自己,从不轻易放弃。今天如此优秀的她,是她用努力拼搏和辛苦换来的!老师相信,成功的花朵在汗水的浇灌中会更鲜艳,晶晶也会在奋斗的道路上努力不懈,到达成功彼岸!”




总结

SUMMARY

Estrella的马术学习过程是激情和毅力的典范。她不仅在竞技场上表现出色,还证明了通过努力,即使是最雄心勃勃的梦想也能实现。美高学校为正在培养这样出类拔萃的同学感到骄傲,期待她在马术运动领域取得更大的辉煌成就。





In August 2023, during the equestrian competition in the Netherlands, Estrella, a student from Living Word Suzhou School, achieved outstanding results with two gold medals and one silver. On horseback, she is a spirited and elegant equestrian; back at school, she is the cheerful and energetic Estrella. Through her, we catch a glimpse of the finest qualities of youth: pursuing dreams, forging ahead, and never giving up.






Outstanding Students

Searching for Wu Jingjing on China's largest search engine yields the following entry:

"Wu Jingjing Secures the Championship in Jiangsu Provincial Games Show Jumping

Wu Jingjing maintained her leading position in dressage and cross-country races to secure both the two-event and three-event championships. Along with her individual championship in dressage on the first day and the team silver medal in the 80CM category, Wu Jingjing won a total of 3 gold and 1 silver, making her the biggest winner of this championship."


She has been learning equestrian for four years, and during this time, she has participated in many competitions and won numerous medals.

She said, "I was very nervous when I first started competing, but as I gained more experience, I became less nervous. Now, when I participate in provincial competitions, I can almost guarantee a championship."


For equestrian athletes, talent goes hand in hand with hard work.

For Estrella, she believes her achievements come from 30% talent and 70% effort.

"My athletic cells are highly developed, but equestrian training places a strong emphasis on fundamentals; it's all about being stable and consistent. How much time and effort you put into training reflects directly in your performance in the arena. For the sake of training, my family and I have moved from Shanghai to Wuxi and then to Suzhou for my schooling. During regular days, we commute to Jiangyin for training. Once there, it's an entire day dedicated to training, leaving hardly any time for leisure."


Her Best Friends

Estrella's academic and training schedules are consistently demanding. She spends more time with her horses than with peers. Washing them, feeding them, and engaging in conversations with these  companions create a unique emotional bond between her and these  partners.


"I've never thought about giving up on learning to ride. Even though the training can be exhausting and under the scorching sun, my horses have always been there with me. They never complain. I feel like I have even less reason to complain about something I love."

The care and love she has shown to her "comrade-in-arms" were repaid when she competed.


"You treat the horse well, and the horse will treat you well. During competitions, I might feel nervous, but I know my horse will lead me to victory."


Through years of equestrian education, besides riding skills, what's more important is that it has nurtured Estrella's self-confidence, bravery in facing difficulties and challenges, and the courage to remain unafraid in moments of danger. It has also strengthened her awareness of caring for animals. These lifelong experiences and values are not only a great source of pride for herself but also for the school and her family.



Reasons for Choosing Living Word Suzhou

Although young in age, Estrella's ability to express herself, her communication skills, and independence have matured relatively quickly. While some of her peers are still agonizing over the ups and downs of each test score, Estrella has experienced much larger arenas. Her temperament and willpower have been honed far beyond that of the average child.


"I chose Living Word Suzhou School because my goal is to attend top universities in the UK's G5 and Ivy League schools in the United States. So, I need to study some international courses, and the school's bilingual teaching helps improve my language skills. Having a personalized schedule allows me to customize my courses. My most recent IELTS score was 6.5. If I want to aim for top universities, I need a score of 7.5-8, so I have to do better."


When teachers and classmates speak of her achievements, Estrella remains calm. In her mind, honors, achievements, and excitement are all related to equestrian sports. Falling off horses, repetitive and mundane training, compressed leisure time, and the anxiety of pursuing championships are all part of equestrian sports. Rather than focusing on winning or losing, she prefers to savor the feeling of competing alongside her horse.


Estrella is very clear about her future development direction:

"My plan is to compete in the National Games first, then the Asian Games, and finally represent the Chinese team at the Olympics and win medals."


Although the effort she puts in today may be tough, it's all a gift for her future. Sitting on horseback, she understands that while her horse provides support, like anyone else, she must accumulate small steps to achieve great distances.


The care and love she has shown to her teammate were repaid when she competed.


"You treat the horse well, and the horse will treat you well. During competitions, I might feel nervous, but I know my horse will lead me to victory."


Through years of equestrian education, besides riding skills, what's more important is that it has nurtured Estrella's self-confidence, bravery in facing difficulties and challenges, and the courage to remain unafraid in moments of danger. It has also strengthened her awareness of caring for animals. These lifelong experiences and values are not only a great source of pride for herself but also for the school and her family.






Teacher's Evaluation

Optimistic, steady, and positively-oriented are the common remarks made by every teacher who has interacted with Estrella.


Her homeroom teacher remarked, "Estrella is a smart, lively, and energetic girl, and there's not a hint of fragility in her. She has idealism and a strong desire for improvement in her studies, approaching them with diligence and seriousness. In her equestrian training, she practices diligently, consistently striving to break through her limits and enhance her skills, never giving up easily. Today, her outstanding achievements are the result of her relentless hard work and dedication. Teachers believe that just like how a flower becomes more vibrant with the nurturing of sweat,Estrella will also continue to strive tirelessly on her path to success, reaching the shores of accomplishment."



总结

SUMMARY

Estrella's equestrian journey is an exemplar of passion and perseverance. She has not only excelled in the arena but has also proven that with relentless effort, even the loftiest of dreams can become a reality. Living Word Suzhou School is proud to be nurturing such outstanding students and eagerly anticipates her achieving even greater heights in the equestrian world.
