“I really learned a lot in CA. Excellent teachers use interesting teaching methods to let the learning students enjoy it. Volunteer activities in the school made me realize the joy of helping others. The club activities have brought down the feelings between the students and made me recognize many good friends. The classmates are great and always encourage each other to help each other. This makes me feel happier in the learning process.”

“To spend as much time as possible on studying, I have discovered my more real ability in CA. In the past, I always felt that I could not do a lot of things very well, so I did not bother to do it, but now when I really work hard to do these things, I find that I can do a lot of things.”

“Everyone says I’m gifted, so I used to believe I could do anything without hard work. However, since I have been through high school, the only thing I know is no matter a person’s natural gifts, you need to work hard to succeed. Work hard and all the hard work will pay off in the end.”
