深圳校区  2023届毕业生

杜浩博 Danny

杜浩博同学，来自深圳校区的首届枫叶世界学校课程毕业生。他收到了多所知名大学的录取通知书，包括英国帝国理工学院、英国伦敦大学学院、加拿大多伦多大学、加拿大麦吉尔大学等等。

高中三年是我人格发展成熟的三年，这三年，我站在岔路口上不断面临纠结和选择，这些过程让我认识自己，并与不完美共处，让我对未来的希冀与规划不断延展。尽管沿途的遗憾和失误会让我无数次的陷入自我怀疑与内耗之中，但值得庆幸的是我周遭的人和事都极尽良善，一次次的把我从“自怨自艾”的斡旋中拉出来，让所有的纠结与矛盾归结于“我与我周旋久，宁作我”的结论。

致我的朋友们，坦白讲，我不曾奢望我的高中生活会有多么别样特殊的相遇，但和大家认识，是我这三年来最大的惊喜。你们每一个人都独一无二，我无法祝各位成功顺利，因为未来的路本就充满坎坷，但我祝各位千帆过尽后无愧于心，因为每一个你们本就值得属于自己最好的未来。我身上的漏洞很多，也会常常的给身边的各位平添许多麻烦，感谢你们能够包容我别扭矛盾的性格和我郁郁沉沉的心态，给了我把“我”变成“我们”的机会。

致我的老师们，感谢你们在高中三年为我打开了选择的窗口，我本见识短浅，且没有足够的胆识面对自己的梦想和野心，是你们给予了我选择的勇气，让我可以在四方教室里领略世界的辽阔与绮丽。我不是一个天赋异禀的学生，在某些方面甚至有点笨拙，对学习也抱着功利的态度。但你们会不厌其烦的为我阐述知识的纯粹，带我寻觅自己热爱的领域。

致我的父母，感谢你们可以把我带到这个世界上来，让我得以认识这么多的绚烂与美好，结识这么多善良的人。我不是一个省心的孩子，但我希望自己可以尽量做一个合格的儿子，给你们带来的快乐多于烦恼。未来，也祝愿你们在做我的父母之前，能更好的做自己，享受自己的人生，我也会学着独立，不让你们操心。

最后，致我自己。未来的你或许会实现自己的梦想，又或许会因为某些意外而落寞不得志。但更重要的是，你的生命很短，但世界很大，当你纠结于已经失去的东西时，不妨去看看更广阔的天地。去看日出日落，去听森林和海浪的的声音，勇敢的去爱一个人，或者拥有被爱的勇气。当你独处时，希望你有在阴天给自己冲一杯咖啡来消遣的兴致，有在晴空下散步的闲情。不论何时，你的身后并不是空无一人，你的经历也不会让你的人生一败涂地。既然如此，那便大胆一点的活吧，把你的白天还给碧海青天，将夜晚送给苍梧翠柏。

这一路的风景才将开始，且去吧，前路就算崎岖坎坷，也是这瑰丽壮阔的一生。

The three years of high school develops my personality. I’ve made many choices that determines my future development, and understand myself with my imperfections. I am also dare to expand my hopes for the future. Although the regrets and mistakes along the way would cause me to fall into self-doubt and internal friction for countless times, fortunately, the people and things around me were very kind and pulled me out of the mediation of "self-pity" time and time again, so that all the entanglements and contradictions came to the conclusion that "I have been around for a long time, rather be myself".

To my friends, frankly speaking, I didn't expect my high school life to be such a special encounter, but to meet you, is my three years of the biggest surprise. Each and every one of you is unique. I cannot wish you success because the road ahead will be full of obstacles. But I wish you do not leave any regrets after you have made it through, because each and every one of you deserves the best of your future. I have a lot of shortcomings, and will often add a lot of trouble to everyone around me, thank you for your tolerance of my awkward contradictory character and my depressed state of mind, gave me the opportunity to turn "I" into "we".

To my teachers, thank you for opening the window of choice for me in the three years of high school. I was short of knowledge and didn't have enough courage to admit my dream and ambition. It was you who gave me the courage to choose, so that I could enjoy the vast and beautiful world in the limited classroom. I was not a gifted student, even a little clumsy in some ways, and had a utilitarian attitude towards my studies. But you will always explain the purity of knowledge for me patiently, and help me to figure out my interests.

To my parents, thank you for bringing me into this world, allowing me to see this beautiful world, and meet so many good friends. I am not a easy child, but I hope I can try to be a qualified son, to bring you more happiness than trouble. In the future, I hope you can also enjoy yourselves better and enjoy your own life before becoming my parents. I will learn to be independent and not let you worry about me.

Finally, to myself. In the future, you may achieve your dreams, or you may fail completely due to some accident. But more importantly, your life is short, but the world is big, so when you are dwelling on what you have lost, go and see the wider world. Go watch the sunrise and sunset, listen to the sounds of the forest and the waves, be brave enough to love someone, or have the courage to be loved. When you are alone, I hope you have the pleasure of making yourself a cup of coffee on a cloudy day, or taking a walk under a clear sky. Whenever you are, you are not empty behind you and your experiences will not leave your life too awful. If that's the case, then live a little more boldly, giving your days back to the blue sea and your nights to the cypress.

The scenery of this Odyssey just starts, just move ahead, even if bumpy, is the significance of this life.

选择枫叶最主要的原因是因为小时候妈妈的工作忙，没有太多时间照顾我，所以选择了枫叶的寄宿制管理。后来选择枫叶高中，也是因为其独特的课程体系和个性化培育的特点，让我可以更好的认识自己。

The main reason for choosing Maple Leaf is because my mother was busy with work and didn’t have much time to take care of me when I was young, so we choose a boarding school like Maple Leaf. Later on, I chose Maple Leaf high school because of its unique curriculum, which allowed me to better develop myself.

在枫叶最难忘的记忆应该是集体组织的飞盘活动，那天全校高中生趁着夕阳和老师们来了一场飞盘比赛，广播室正放着，<Youth>这首歌，那时真的可以感受到学校文化的自由和青春的酣畅淋漓。

The most unforgettable moment in Maple Leaf should be the collectively organized frisbee event. On that day, all high school students took advantage of the sunset and had a frisbee competition with their teachers. The radio room was playing the song "", which truly allowed us to feel the school culture.

高中毕业后，我想培养自己课外的兴趣爱好，学习一个乐器，学着画画，试着去享受体育锻炼，让自己的生活更加充实。未来，也希望自己可以成为一名合格的工程师，对社会做出一定的贡献。

After graduating from high school, I want to cultivate my extracurricular interests and hobbies, learn a musical instrument, learn to draw, and try to enjoy physical exercise to make my life more fulfilling. In the future, I also hope to become a qualified engineer and make certain contributions to society.

恭喜儿子，来到了人生路上又一个转折点。几个月后，你将告别自己的高中时代，正式开启大学生活。在这个节点上，妈妈想给你几点建议：

首先，做到严于律己，慎独心安。妈妈无法陪伴在独在异国他乡的你，因此希望你可以不忘自己的本心，外界的声音或许嘈杂，但你要坚持自己，做一个清白的人。

其次，努力做到阳光开朗。未来的路上你固然会遇到很多的困难和失败，但不要因为一次的失败而气馁，相信自己，你有那个能力！

最后，照顾好自己。关系自己的身体状况和精神状态，保证自己的健康，一个健康的身体永远比漂亮的成绩单重要。

儿子，你的人生很长，而我手中拉着你的那根线也放的越来越长，你的人生即将开始，带着妈妈的祝福，不回头的向前跑吧！

Congratulations, my son, on reaching another turning point in your life. In a few months, you will be saying goodbye to your high school years and officially starting your university life. At this point in your life, I would like to give you some advice:

First of all, be disciplined and keep your mind safe. I hope that you will not forget your own heart, and that the outside world may be noisy, but you should not forget your original aspiration.

Secondly, try to be optimistic and cheerful. You will certainly encounter many difficulties and failures on the road ahead, but don't be discouraged by one failure, believe in yourself, you have that ability!

Finally, take care of yourself, especially to your physical condition and mental state, make sure you are healthy, a healthy body is always more important than a beautiful transcript.

You have a long life ahead of you, and the thread that I am pulling you by in my hands is getting longer and longer, your life is about to begin, take your mother's blessings and run forward without looking back!

爱你的妈妈
