瑞得福国际学校毕业季不毕业！分享一个学期300多天总结下来的精华！
有心的班主任Kaitlyn特意为他们想出了一个IDEA作为他们离开前的一份小惊喜——我们年级有三个同学分别因为搬家和父母工作调动被迫离开了。
Our homeroom teacher Kaitlyn deliberately came up with an IDEA as a small surprise before the students leaving last week - Because there are three of our graders were forced to leave because of house moving and their parents’ jobs.
相信你能想象到这个画面——离开的时候大家都依依不舍，相见两眼泪汪汪啊!我能够理解，姑且我也为转学烦恼过。(但是这次Pinkie作为好同学是很难过了……呜呜呜)：
I believe that you can imagine the picture for leaving your friends - Hugging and saying goodbyes, and even crying till the last moment. I can understand because I had also anxious about transferring to another school.
嘻嘻，废话不多说啦，今天是Pinkie学校的学期末，Pinkie今天在结业典礼上得到了全年级第一的奖学金哦(嘻嘻真的超级开心，感谢所有人对我的支持!)，所以接下来我就来跟大家分享一下我和大家这个学年的改变吧(准备好喝鸡汤吧!!!)～
Today is the end of the semester of my school. I received my first year round scholarship at the closing ceremony. (I'm really thankful to everyone for supporting me!)So next, let me share you about the changes of me in this school year~
收获一：懂得优秀并不是成绩决定的。
The First Change:
Understood successful is not determined by your grades.
单单说“优秀并不是成绩决定的”肯定所有人都懂得，但是我亲身体验过后，确实感受到了跟从前不一样的东西。
I am sure that everyone understands "excellence is not determining by your grade", but after experiencing it by myself, I really felt something different from what I was thinking before.
其实我们不该把分数看的那么重的，高中，大学，都只是一种经历，一种磨练，里面所获得的知识是次要的，重要的是学会如何生活及学习。
In fact, we should not regard the scores as heavy. High schools and universities are just experiences. It is a practice. The knowledge acquired is secondary, cause the most important thing is to learn how to live and be a good person.
所谓成绩并不是最重要的，这只是一个起始，一个条件，并不能决定以后生活的幸福与否，能决定这一切的，是我们自己的努力。
The achievements are important, but not the most important. It is just a starting point. A achievement condition right now cannot determine the happiness of future life. The thing that determines all of this is our own efforts.
很庆幸我能在这个年纪体会到在每一个事情开始之前做一个“高级计划”的重要性。如果凡事不做一个计划，就全无章法，如无头苍蝇，乱撞乱窜。
I am very glad that I was able to realize that it is important to have a "high-level plan" before everything starts at age 13
经过我的亲身测试，多数事情的成功都是策划的结果。一个好的计划，包含了方向，方法，纠错机制，是为着指导实践、协调实践、规范实践而制定的。
After my personal test, the success of most things is the result of planning. A good plan, including directions, methods, and error correction, it is designed to guide your practices, improve your coordination and regulation.
只要花上十几分钟做好一份简单的计划书，事情在执行的时候就会清晰许多。所以，我自拟计划书，自己做自己的女王。
As long as you take ten minutes to prepare a simple plan, things will be much clearer when they are executed. So, I made my own plan and be my own queen.
这就是我做的计划与成果：
This is the plan and result I have made:
每天在学校用手账做努力计划……
Plans that done at svhool everyday……
在家里的黑板上跟妈妈开会无数次……
Plans that showed during the meetings with my family……
喜马拉雅：Pinkie带你读

做事的习惯是可以决定一个人的命运的。你能不能担负重任，会不会处理问题，能力如何，恐怕都跟你的习惯有关。而习惯大多数来自于自己日复一日的努力，来自那百分之一的天生优势和百分之九十九的后天调整。
The habit of doing things can determine one's fate. Most of the habits come from our day-to-day hard work, which comes from the one percent natural advantage and the ninety-nine percent adjustment by yourself.
也请你相信我做的大部分事情都是源于自己的努力，并非机遇，并非巧合。
Also, please believe that most of the things I have done are based on my own efforts, with no opportunities and no coincidences.
收获二：因为习惯，开始理解社会上的刻板印象。
The Second Change:
Understood the stereotypes in the society now.
因为这个习惯提一点(这是我理解刻板印象的想法例子之一)。这是很多初步接触国际教育的人(包括Pinkie的以前的小学同学们)都容易犯的认知错误：把选国际学校当做高考、中考失利的备胎，认为国际学校轻松极了。
This is a cognitive error that many people who initially came into contact with international education are guilty of misunderstanding: International schools are made for escape from college entrance exams and tests, and it is considered extremely easy for international students to study.
我们的假期可多了?
Have I got a lot of holidays?
其实校内多数学生的家都在到不了的远方，我们见不到父母，只能在休息的时候默默看着远方。并且作为住宿学校，我们的业余时间虽然是自己管理，但是要遵守校规依然很严格的呀，周末才能出一次校门见一次父母的我们，在最开始离开家的时候可是有些不习惯的。
In fact, the majority of students’ homes in the school are far away. We can't see our parents everyday. And as a student in residential school, although our spare time is managed by ourselves, we still have to strictly abide by the school rules. We can only go out once on the weekend to see our parents once. It was a kind hard training when we leave home at the very beginning.
对Pinkie我来说，假期不是给我们玩的，我的假期全部塞得满满当当，丝毫抽不出时间来玩游戏。不过，对我来说，项目学习就是最好的游戏。
And even I have holidays, they are not for me to play. My vacations are all fully packed and I have no time to play games. However, project learning is the best game for me.
我们的学习没压力?
Is there no stress in my learning process?
外国人讲课是很有意思，但这不是你想象中的好玩。我们两天一个quiz(测试)，三天一次test(考试)，不时还有些你在公立学校永远看不见的project(项目课题)。说真的，这其中要是一次没有做好平均分就大下滑，而这个平均分就是我们申请梦想大学的决定性因素。
It is very interesting for foreigners to give lectures, but this is not as fun as you imagined. We are always having quizzes, tests, examinations, and some projects that you will never see in the public schools. To be honest, if there is one thing haven’t done in a great score, the average GPA will decline sharply. This GPA is the decisive factor in applying for our dream university.
Pinkie想说(告诉全世界)，世上真的没有任何一件叫做“成功”的事是没有压力的。如果你随波逐流，那你在任何学校都出不了好头。
I actually wanted to tell the world - There is nothing in the world in which situation called a success is done by no pressure.
要说国际学校轻松，又一次我在论坛上看见一位北京国际学校的同学针对这个话题发表说：
To say that international schools are easy, I once saw a friend in Beijing International School on the forum to say about this topic:
我们(国际学校学生)不能和你们(传统学校学生)比数理化：因为我们在用不是母语的语言从头学起，而且我们还有对我们来说更重要的社会学和英语(甚至是西班牙语等外语)要钻研，除此之外我们还有各种不同的作业要解决。
International school students can not compare with traditional school students, because we learn all subjects from scratch in non-native language and we have sociology and English (even Spanish) that we have to focus on more. Despite to other languages, we still need to study. In addition, we have different kinds of work to solve.
就从这个简单例子来说，我仔细回想，其实这个学年，国际学校曾给过我的，并不是多么深奥的知识，它只是换了一种能够帮助我们未来的方式让我们学习罢了。
From this simple example, I carefully recalled that in fact the international school had given me is not profound knowledge as traditional schools. It just created an environment that let us learn the things helpful for us in the future.
收获三：管好自己比管好别人更重要。
The Third Change：
Understood managing yourself is more important than managing others.
人们总是严已律人、宽以待己。
这是人的本性也是人的劣根性。
People are always strict for others and generous for themselves.
This is the nature of human beings and it is the bad nature of human beings.
因此我们可以轻易指出别人错误的地方让其改正，有些人聪明，有则改之，无则加勉;可惜的是有些人傻傻的，只听好话，殊不知“良药苦口，忠言逆耳利于行”，这样一来，他们对自己的缺点就很难得到清楚的认识。
Some people are smart, they view themselves by the words from others. But what is a pity is that some people are silly and only listen to good things. They do not know that "bitter medicine is good, and good advice is againsting their ears." In this way, it is difficult for them to have a clear understanding of their own shortcomings.
打个大人们会比较熟悉的比方：如果一个公司的BOSS督促员工每天做他们的工作，而自己却以各种理由推脱自己的工作，并且美名其曰：很忙，没时间。你认为这个公司能够好好经营下去吗?
Make an analogy that adults will be familiar with:If a company's BOSS urges employees to do their work every day, but the Boss himself shirk his own cases for a variety of reasons: I am busy, I have no time. Do you think this company can work well?
因此，管好自己比管好别人更难，也更关键。
Therefore, managing yourself is harder than managing others, but it is more critical and important than managing others.
我发现，每当我们经历一些事情之后，我们的人生价值观都会对每一件事情增添新的理解。
I found that every time when I go through something, my values of life are added new insights to everything.
其实未来并不遥远，所以现在我选择脚踏实地不期待未来了，更重要的是做好当下手上的每一件事情，我一定就能预见到我的未来。
In fact, the future is not far away, so what is more important is to do everything in my hands and I can foresee my future.
最后Pinkie留下对于所有朋友的寄语：“我不知道在多少个星辰里，醉心其间挥一挥手又怎能抹去这不绝如缕的眷恋。哪怕今后的风景更美更好，我都无法轻抛过去，一展笑颜，尽管人生告别寻常事，真告别时却又难说再见。那就请珍惜现在吧。
”Pinkie’s words for all of us:"I don't know how many stars there are, and how can I wipe out this lingering attachment when I'm obsessed with waving a wave. Even if the scenery in the future is more beautiful and better, I can't throw it over and show my smile, despite my life. It's really hard to say goodbyes when we should say goodbye. So. Please cherish the moment you are in now.
"嘻嘻～当然我也很期待见到明年的新同学们哦!Of course, I'm also looking forward to my new classmates next year~
