Graduates | 黄润生：目光所及，皆是风景
流年似水，岁月如歌。今年，广东以色列理工学院迎来了首届毕业生。广以2017级本科毕业生系列采访将带大家一同聆听这四年来学生们与广以的故事，共同见证广以学子们的成长。今天分享的是化学工程专业毕业生黄润生的故事。
姓名：黄润生
毕业高中：龙城高级中学
本科专业：化学工程
录取院校：约翰霍普金斯大学、哥伦比亚大学、西北大学、莱斯大学、圣路易斯华盛顿大学
获得奖项：广以新生奖学金、广以学业优秀奖学金、广以本科生院院长嘉许名单
结缘化工，还儿时美好
考虑到本科毕业后想去国外深造读研，于是，黄润生四年前选择了广以，希望可以在以提问为特色的全英教学环境里提前适应国外的教学模式。而选择化学工程专业，则与他的爱好不无关系。
作为一个钓鱼爱好者，润生享受静待鱼儿上钩时心无杂念的时光，更陶醉于潺潺溪流和环绕四周的怡人美景。“我可以一整个下午不看手机，放空自己，就坐在河边钓鱼。可惜的是，我小时候在老家经常去钓鱼的那条河被污染了，现在的河里已经看不到小鱼了。”他希望自己能在化工领域学会相关的知识和技术，有朝一日能为治理家乡受环境污染的河流贡献自己的力量，还童年的“秘密乐园”一份最初的澄澈和美好。
在收到多所世界名校抛出的橄榄枝后，黄润生最终决定前往哥伦比亚大学攻读生物技术和生物制药硕士学位。目前，他已赴美国，准备开启求学生活崭新的篇章。
与良师益友同行，见证自我成长
润生表示，在广以这样一所年轻的学校里，同学们有更多展示的机会去锻炼自己的综合能力，发现自己更多的可能性。
大二上学期的创业课实践项目中，同学们需要独自联系采访对象，通过访谈的形式了解某个行业的运作和管理等情况。黄润生依旧清晰地记得这个在陌生领域一探究竟的经历。“我当时联系了一家发型连锁企业，向它的主理人了解了员工的职业发展去向、设备的采购和管理、创业遇到的困难和挫折等各种信息。从那以后，我遇到好奇的事物都愿意迈出一步去了解，也发现采访别人、听他人分享经历和故事是一件很有趣的事。这个过程很好地锻炼了我的沟通和表达技巧，什么样的表达能让对方觉得舒服，能让他感受到我的真诚并愿意跟我分享更多的事情，这是在生活中非常重要的能力。”
黄润生不仅在广以打开了探索新世界的大门，实现了自我的成长和突破；他更是在这里感受到身边的良师益友带给他的帮助和触动。
教水化学课的Ori Lahav教授给润生留下了非常深刻的印象。“在答疑课上，Ori教授不厌其烦地为我们解惑，耐心地回答每位同学提出的问题。一位在专业领域如此卓越的教授，愿意花那么多时间回答我们这么基础、在他眼中甚至是‘小儿科’的问题，他的谦逊和负责对刚进校园的我触动很大。”
“我对社会议题、时政话题比较感兴趣，本以为在理工科的学校大家会更关注科研方面的信息，没想到我跟其他同学探讨相关话题时，大家都有自己的见解和认识。”润生对此非常欣喜，他表示，与广以的同学们交流时，常常可以感受到不同观点之间的交流和碰撞，感受到思辨的魅力。“这种感觉是非常难得的，能认识到一群素质很高、思想多元包容又能彼此尊重的同学，是很大的收获。”

斩获名校offer的学习秘籍
大学四年里，润生的成绩一直保持在专业前十，优异的学业表现让他在申研的时候受到不少世界名校的青睐。他与师弟师妹们分享自己“高分宝典”里的三大秘籍——积极提问、摆脱拖延症、“抱团”学习。
“学会提问非常关键，在提问的那个瞬间实际上就是你的头脑在主动思考、接纳知识。提问可以让我的注意力更加集中，跟上老师上课的节奏和思路；更重要的是，提问使我的学习效率变得很高。可能有些同学更喜欢自己课后去找答案，但在我看来，有问题要‘堂堂清’。老师往往一两句话就能让我茅塞顿开，而这样的效果是我花上大量的课后时间去看视频、查资料所无法达到的。”黄润生鼓励师弟师妹们在课堂上大胆开口提问，“这也是锻炼英语口语的好机会，让自己的‘脸皮变厚’一点，以后就不那么容易胆怯了。”
在看似枯燥漫长的申请季里，“抱团学习”让黄润生的求学之路多了许多并肩作战的伙伴。“在申请研究生院校的时候，我们几个要申请美国学校的同学经常会一起交流申请的情况、分享学校的信息。大家互通有无、查缺补漏，这样收集到的信息会更加全面。”
回望过去的四年，黄润生表示“自己有收获也有遗憾”。“这四年里我没有多出去走走，没有去尝试更多的新事物。我觉得自己应该把时间安排得更加合理，才不会和机会擦肩而过。”他希望大家可以积极地寻找生活中的乐趣，去体验不同的生活，带着快乐的心态投入学习。“时间是很宝贵的，大学也是我们最接近‘智力巅峰’的阶段。不管是玩还是学，都要让时间花得值得！”

The first cohort students were graduated from Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology this year. The series of interviews with the graduates from Class of 2021 will show their stories with GTIIT in the past four years. Here is the story about Huang Runsheng, a student of Class of 2021 from Chemical Engineering Program.
Name: Huang Runsheng
High School: Longcheng High School, Shenzhen
Program: Chemical Engineering
Received offers from: Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, Northwest University, Rice University, Washington University in St. Louis
Awards:
GTIIT Chancellor New Student Scholarship
GTIIT Academic Excellence Scholarship
GTIIT Dean's List Scholarship
Study chemical engineering for the memory of childhood
Huang Runsheng wanted to study abroad for master degree after undergraduate graduation, so he chose GTIIT four years ago, hoping to adapt to the international teaching mode in advance in an English teaching environment with the characteristics of questioning. And the choice of Chemical Engineering Program is greatly related to his hobby.
As a fishing enthusiast, Runsheng enjoys the time of waiting for fish to bite and the surrounding scenery. "I can sit by the river without looking at my phone for the whole afternoon. Unfortunately, the river where I used to go fishing when I was a child in my hometown has been polluted and no fish can be seen in the river now." He hopes that he can learn the knowledge and technology in the field of chemical engineering, so that one day he can contribute to the treatment of the polluted rivers in his hometown, and restore the original beauty of the memory in his childhood.
After receiving offers from several world-renowned universities, Runsheng finally decided to pursue his master degree (MS with a Concentration in Biotechnology and Biopharmaceutical) at Columbia University. Currently, he has gone to the United States to start a new chapter of his life.
Achieve self-breakthrough and growth at GTIIT
Runsheng said that in such a young university at GTIIT, students had more opportunities to show their abilities and explore their potentials.
In the first semester of sophomore year, students were asked to contact the interviewees on their own to know about the operation and management of an industry through interview for the project of the entrepreneurship course. Huang Runsheng still vividly remembered the experience of exploring a new field.
"I interviewed the manager of a hair salon chain-store, asking questions about employer's career development, equipment procurement and management, the difficulties of starting a business, etc. Since then, I've been willing to learn about everything I'm curious about, and I find it interesting to interview people and hear their experiences and stories. The process has been a great exercise in my communication skills. It makes me realize that what kind of expression can show my sincerity, and make others feel comfortable and willing to share more with me. This ability is very important in the daily life."
Prof. Ori Lahav made a deep impression on Runsheng at the very beginning of his university life. “Prof. Ori answered each student's questions patiently and carefully in class and the office hour. I was touched by the humility and responsibility of a professor who was so distinguished in the academic field and willing to spend so much time answering our basic and simple questions."
"I'm interested in social issues and topics. I used to think that in a science and technology university, students would pay more attention to information about scientific research. However, when I discussed social topics with my classmates, they also showed great interests and expressed their own opinions and understandings logically and clearly." Runsheng was very happy about this. He said that when talking with his classmates, he could often feel the exchange and collision between different viewpoints and feel the charm of thinking. "This is a very rare feeling. It is a great gain to meet so many friends with high quality, diverse opinions and we can respect each other."

Tips for getting offers from world-renowned universities
In the four years at GTIIT, Runsheng's academic performance has always been in the top ten of his program, which made him favored by many world-renowned universities when applying for postgraduate universities. He shares his three tips - ask questions, get rid of procrastination, and study in a group - with the junior students.
Huang Runsheng encourages the junior students to ask questions in class actively. "You are actually thinking actively and accepting knowledge the moment you ask questions. Asking questions can make me more focused and keep up with the teacher in class. What's more, it greatly improves my learning efficiency. Maybe some students prefer to find the answer after class, but in my opinion, the guidance from a teacher can give me an insight that I can't get after spending a lot of time watching videos or looking up literatures by myself. This is also a good opportunity to practice oral English.” Said Runsheng.
In the tedious application period, "group study" enabled Runsheng to have more partners to work with. "When applying to graduate schools, students who are applying to universities in the USA often share information about our application progress together. It is an efficient way to get more comprehensive information within limited time."
Looking back on the past four years, Huang Runsheng said, "I have both gains and regrets." "I didn't go out to experience more and try more new things in four years. I feel like I should have managed my time better so I didn't miss some opportunities." He hopes that the junior students can actively find the fun in life, to experience different life, and study happily with a positive attitude. "Time is precious. Whether it's playing or studying, make your time worthy!"
