鸿鹄志丨从“执行程序”到“C位担当”：一位八年级少年的自我觉醒
（Please slide left for English）
在爱莎荔湾的校园里，Tin 是一个很难被单一定义的学生。在聚光灯下的舞台，他是乐队主唱；在科创竞赛现场，他是逻辑缜密的“总工程师”；而在辩论队的唇枪舌战中，他又变成了犀利的三辩。但他最喜欢的标签，却是“翻车鱼”——这是他科创乐队的名字。“翻车鱼皮很厚，不怕痛。哪怕被外界攻击，它还是会坚定地继续向前游。”
At ISA Liwan, Tin is a student who defies simple definition. Under the spotlight, he is the lead singer of a band; at the City of the Future competition, he is a logically rigorous ‘Chief Engineer’; and in the heat of a debate, he transforms into a sharp third speaker. Yet, his favourite label is the ‘Sunfish’—the name of his STEAM band. “Sunfish have thick skin and are remarkably resilient. Even when facing external challenges, they continue to swim forward with unwavering determination.”

回望来到爱莎荔湾之前的学习生涯，Tin 用了一个极具科技感的隐喻来形容当时的自己——“机器人”。“以前的学习像是在运行设定好的程序：没有指令就不动。转折发生在 G6 转入爱莎荔湾的那一年。这里的课堂让他意识到：这里不想要完美的“复制品”，而想要真实的“表达者”。
中文老师 Nora 对此印象深刻。在初入校园时，许多孩子习惯于写出结构工整却内容空洞的作文。但 Tin 不同，他极具感染力地描绘了自己真实的观察与感受。“他不会因为别人说好就盲从，他有自己笃定的观点。” 这种对 “真实” 的呵护，让 Tin 意识到：在这里，学习是构建属于自己的思想大厦。
From ‘System Execution’ to
Rediscovering the Soul.
Reflecting on his academic journey before joining ISA Liwan, Tin uses a high-tech metaphor to describe his former self: a ‘robot’. “Learning used to feel like running a pre-set programme: no movement without an instruction.” The turning point came in Year 6 when he joined ISA Liwan. The classrooms here helped him realise that the school does not seek perfect ‘replicas’, but rather authentic ‘communicators’.
His Chinese teacher, Ms Nora, recalls this vividly. Upon arrival, many children are accustomed to writing well-structured but hollow essays. Tin, however, was different, vividly depicting his authentic observations and feelings. “He rarely follows the crowd; he holds firm to his own convictions.” This nurturing of ‘authenticity’ allowed Tin to understand that at ISA Liwan, learning is not about finding standard answers, but about constructing one’s own intellectual framework.

如果说课堂唤醒了他的“魂”，那么科创竞赛则是他重塑自信的练兵场。在一次关键比赛前，主力队友因故退出。作为团队中唯一的学长，Tin 被迫从幕后走向台前。负责科创竞赛的 Lilly 老师见证了这一奇妙的反应：“当那棵遮挡的大树移开后，他自己反而长了出来。”
在 “月光宝城” 项目答辩中，Tin 展现了惊人的 “破冰” 能力。他没有机械地背诵项目说明书，而是幽默地解释了项目由来。这一瞬间的机智让评委记住了这个团队，并最终斩获城市赛一等奖。从这一刻起，Tin 成了一个能用逻辑与幽默掌控全场的 Leader。
Growing into Greatness,
Once the Canopy Clears
If the classroom awakened his soul, then STEAM competitions became the training ground for rebuilding his confidence. Before a crucial competition, a key teammate had to withdraw. As the sole senior member, Tin was compelled to step out from behind the scenes. Ms Lilly, the STEAM coordinator, witnessed this remarkable transformation: “When the overshadowing tree was moved aside, he began to flourish on his own.”
During the presentation for the ‘Moonlight City’ project, Tin displayed incredible ‘ice-breaking’ skills. Rather than mechanically reciting technical parameters, he used humour to explain the project’s inspiration. This flash of wit ensured the judges remembered the team, ultimately leading them to win the First Prize in the regional competition. From that moment on, Tin was no longer a student hiding in the shadows, but a leader capable of commanding the room with logic and charisma.

Tin 的蜕变深植于爱莎荔湾 “包容试错” 的土壤之中。科创社团的于教练曾告诉他：“做一个再好的东西，首先你要先做一个垃圾。” 这精准地击碎了他对“完美”的恐惧。
这种支持体现在方方面面：在科创竞赛里，老师引导他在“宏大创意”与“落地实践”之间搭建桥梁；在辩论队，输赢不是评价的终点，而是复盘的起点。这种安全感让 Tin 成长为如今理性、睿智的辩手。
Permission to Create a ‘Rough Draft’ First.
Tin’s metamorphosis is deeply rooted in ISA Liwan’s culture of ‘embracing trial and error’. His STEAM coach once told him: “To make something great, you must first be willing to make something rubbish.” This precisely shattered his fear of perfectionism.
Such support is evident across campus life: teachers guide him in bridging the gap between ‘grand ideas’ and ‘practical implementation’. In the debating society, winning or losing is not the final verdict but the starting point for reflection. This sense of security has enabled Tin to evolve into the rational and sophisticated debater he is today.
Beyond the Classroom 课堂之外

在 2025 年的一场辩论赛中，Tin 带领的队伍遗憾止步。面对失落，他做出了一个令人动容的举动：他毫不犹豫地将自己团队准备好的“决赛稿”无私分享给了晋级的队友。Nora 老师感叹：“在那一刻，他展现出的不再是个人的胜负欲，而是真正的团队精神。”
Permission to Create a ‘Rough Draft’ First.
During a debating competition in 2025, Tin’s team was unfortunately eliminated. Despite his disappointment, he made a moving gesture: without hesitation, he selflessly shared his team’s carefully prepared ‘final round scripts’ with the teammates who had progressed. Ms Nora remarked, “In that moment, what he displayed was no longer a personal desire for victory, but true spirit of collaboration.”
Self and the Future 自我与未来

如今的 Tin 拥有一种不再等待指令、主动出击的 “主观能动性”。在采访的最后，他留下了那句口号送给学弟学妹：“翻车是意外，热爱是常态。”
在爱莎荔湾这片广阔的海洋里，愿每一个孩子都能向着自己热爱的方向，勇敢地游下去。
Permission to Create a ‘Rough Draft’ First.
Today, Tin possesses a profound sense of ‘Student Agency’—the drive to take initiative rather than waiting for instructions. At the end of the interview, he shared a motto for his peers: “Setbacks are accidental; passion is the constant.” In the vast ocean of ISA Liwan, we hope every child can develop the resilience to swim bravely towards their own passions.
