The Beauty of Diversity 多样化之美

A Year 13 student at YCIS Beijing, Natalie moved to China with her family two years ago. Yet though it was a huge transition to move from an American high school to joining a Secondary programme at an international school abroad, Natalie says that the experience has been exciting and has introduced her to how beautifully diverse the world truly is.

两年前，北京耀中国际学校十三年级学生Natalie 及全家来到了中国。对Natalie来说，从美国高中到海外国际学校上高中是一个巨大的转变，但她觉得这种体验让人很兴奋，并让她体会到世界原来如此的多样化。
