我A Level选修了艺术、地理和戏剧3门课程。我即将启程，在梦校攻读艺术。我很开心，能够在A Level的学习阶段就开始专注于我所热爱的艺术创作。一直以来，我对地理很感兴趣，也有信心可以学好，如今这门学科对我的艺术创作起到了很大的作用。而戏剧，我最初选择的原因在于它与舞台与服装设计相关，而在学习过程中，我被这门课深深吸引。
罗德岛设计学院是我的第一志愿大学，很开心能够被其中的王牌专业预录取，我的梦想成真啦！A Level以外，我还参加了托福和ACT（类似于SAT）考试。在考试的申请中，我非常感谢升学指导老师Mr Bennetts，他在申请过程中为我提供了很大的支持与帮助，还有我的艺术老师Ms Ward，她在我作品集创作中给予了我很多很好的建议。
在哈罗上海的6年里，我参与了各种课外活动，诸如爱丁堡公爵奖（我摘得了铜奖与金奖）、学院模拟联合国项目、领导力与服务活动，我还加入了管弦乐团、合唱团和学生会。在哈罗的每一天，与可爱的老师和同学们相处，总是带给我别样的惊喜与收获。
I currently study A Level Art, Geography and Drama. Art is the subject I will focus on in college, and I really enjoy the in-depth time I spend creating different pieces as I pursue my passion in art. Geography is a subject that I am confident and passionate about, and it also helps to inform my current art coursework. Initially, I chose drama due to the set and costume design elements, but I’ve learned to love other aspects of this subject as well.
RISD is my first-choice university, so I am delighted to gain early acceptance into their prestigious programme – it’s a dream come true for me. In addition to my A Level studies, I completed a TOEFL test and an ACT (similar to SAT) test. I am particularly thankful to Mr Bennetts, my higher education counselor, who provided crucial support throughout the application process, as well as my art teacher, Ms. Ward, who provided insightful input to help me build my art portfolio.
In my six years at Harrow Shanghai, I have had the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award (bronze and gold), numerous inter-school Model United Nations programs, leadership and service activities, orchestra, choir, and the Student Council. Every day at Harrow is a highlight for me because of my friends and teachers.

在过去几年里，我做了不少关于A Level的功课。在美国参观一些顶尖院校的时候，我问了许多招生官他们对于A Level的看法，是否认可这一考试体系，都得到了肯定的答案。无论A Level、IB还是AP，成绩才是关键。而A Level考生能够集中精力，花时间在自己热衷的领域，往往学得更加深入，甚至涵盖了部分大一的学习内容。
哈罗温馨的环境让Brightly自由探索自己的兴趣所在，点燃激情，也塑造了她的人格与品性。各种各样的机会，让Brightly尝试、参与各种项目。我看着她在这里成长、蜕变为自信而得体的哈罗人。
Over the last few years, I have done extensive research and asked many top US universities about whether A Level results would be accepted as part of the admissions process. I have been advised that the type of curriculum (A Level, IB, AP) doesn’t matter to the schools -
the academic results in the key subjects required by the program are most important. US universities are appreciative of A Level results because they are more in-depth than other courses, and students have time to develop deep expertise and passion in the core subjects they are passionate about.
Harrow’s intimate environment has really allowed Brightly to grow and nurture her interests, passions, and character. Through endless opportunities and constant encouragement to try new things and participate in many exciting ventures offered by the school, Brightly has really blossomed and become a confident and respectable young woman.

Brightly学业优异，她对于艺术的热情与创作上的想象力令人动容。学校的走廊里挂着许多她用心创作的作品。在她的EPQ拓展课程项目中，她将视觉化呈现一本中文小说，每次和她聊起这个话题，总能看见她眼睛里闪烁的光芒。她热爱用艺术表达，用艺术传递故事，她也想用自己的这份天赋，将欢乐带给更多人。
Brighly也一直希望在哈罗大家庭里承担更多的责任，对周边的人产生更多积极影响。在校期间，她担任了班长、学院队长，还加入了学生会。她总是积极参与各项学院活动，是学弟学妹们的榜样。最近，她在学校的可持续发展项目中创作了许多艺术作品，还制作了关于可持续美食的短篇动画。

Whilst Brightly has shown herself to be an accomplished student across all her subjects, it is abundantly clear that Art has captured her heart and imagination. A short walk around our corridors showcases dozens of excellent pieces that Brightly has lovingly created over her time at the school. In conversation, Brightly lights up when she talks about her EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), for which she is creating a visual translation of a Chinese novel; she loves using Art to tell stories and wants to use her artistic talents to bring joy to others.
Brightly also wants, more generally, to make a positive difference to the world around her. She has made an immense contribution to our school community, as a school monitor, house captain, student council member and participant in numerous inter-house events and competitions. She has also been a mentor to, and an excellent role model for, our younger students. Her latest offerings have included extended art pieces on the sustainable development goals and a short animation on sustainable food.

很开心可以陪伴、支持Brightly的艺术学习，这一路来，我见证了她在艺术上的奇思妙想，目睹了一个个别出心裁的作品产出。对于艺术，她始终保持开放态度，乐于与人交流，从来不会停下探索的脚步。这也让她在创作手法上有更深层次的理解，不断从著名艺术家和新锐艺术家的作品中汲取灵感。
Brightly求知心切又勇于挑战。从小时候起，她就在艺术追求上展现出了钻研的决心。她是一位充满热情的艺术家，对世界充满好奇又有着天马行空的想象力，愿意反复打磨自己的专业技巧，她探索、记录她所看见的一切，又用画笔勾勒出一幅幅不落窠臼的作品。

It has been my absolute pleasure to be part of Brightly’s learning journey in Art, seeing her grow into an extremely creative student in both her practical work and in her creative thinking. She is always open to new viewpoints, seeking conversation, and researches her areas of interest in great depth to enable her to grow as an artist in both developing her understanding of new and interesting processes and techniques, whilst investigating the work of both well established and upcoming artists to inspire her and learn from them.
Brightly has a great thirst for knowledge and enjoys a challenge whilst thinking clearly and logically. The pursuit of learning and wanting to push herself creatively is something that Brightly consistently strives for and has done from an early age. She is passionate artist who has great curiosity, being able to observe, record and interpret what she sees with skill and originality, creating beautiful and insightful responses.

Brightly极具艺术天赋，又乐于分享奉献。无论是装饰学院公共区、毕业班休息室展示板，还是为慈善设计圣诞卡片，或是为领导力与服务项目制作减少食物浪费的视频，她都非常乐意献上自己的一份力。
作为她的导师，每天早上我都会与她见面。收获喜讯时，我会和她一同庆祝；遇到困难时，我给予她支持。在申请过程中，面临着越来越多的准备内容， 我鼓励她，巩固她的自信心，让她朝着目标一步步奋进。很开心，她收到了梦校的录取通知书！她值得！我相信，未来她在罗德岛设计学院一定会大放异彩，收获傲人成绩。

Brightly is such a talented artist and she is so generous with her skills. Whether it is decorating the House Common Room and Sixth Form Common Room notice boards, designing Christmas cards to sell for charity, or making a hand drawn animation for our Leadership & Service project to highlight the importance of minimising food waste, she is always willing to use her talent to help others.
As her tutor, my main role has been to check in with Brightly every morning, to praise her and celebrate her successes, and to be supportive when the process has proved stressful. When the work has piled up and deadlines were looming, it was just a case of encouraging her and reminding her that she is amazingly capable and to keep going and working towards her goal. I am so pleased that she has achieved this goal and has been accepted; there is nobody more deserving and I know that she will have a fantastic time and enjoy many more successes at the RISD and in the future.
