Be You, Be Brave丨Go For Your Dreams

Amy, from South Korea, joined Wellington College Tianjin with her two older sisters when the school was founded in 2011. Amy spent 13 years studying here, and Wellington has long been a home away from home for her.

Amy’s 13-year journey at Wellington has shaped her character and fostered her growth into an elegant young lady. She is grateful for the comprehensive support provided by the school, from academic achievement to the cultivation of interests and hobbies. In terms of learning, her performance in IGCSE and A-level has been excellent. 

In addition to her studies, Amy actively participates in many activities, excelling in singing and playing the violin on the stage at school concerts and annual musicals. She has also played in the school basketball and football teams. 

As the Deputy Head of the College , she has successfully faced various challenges and has organised a series of pupil activities. Her experience and achievements at the school have laid a solid foundation for her future.

As someone with strong self-discipline, Amy believes that this is very important, not only for studying but for doing pretty much everything in life successfully. In terms of developing this skill, she feels that self-discipline comes from the motivation to accomplish a goal.

Amy explains that her parents never tried to steer her towards a specific career but simply told her to find something that she wanted to do, guiding her to create her own targets. She finds this useful now because she is very independent and can think for herself.

 

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Amy for over a decade. I can still recollect a time when young Amy sat beside me reading a graded reader while pointing at each word with her tiny finger. It warms my heart to witness her incredible growth and progress since then. 

 

 

She has demonstrated herself to be an outstanding pupil at Wellington. Amy, you are a star in the making! Congratulations and shine on!” Ms Tracey Xu, the Housemistress of the Anglesey, shared with us. 

 

When asked about her intended career path, Amy said that at first, she had wanted to become a surgeon, but she had recently come to believe that physician is also interesting. She hopes to obtain dual committee certification, which means she can become both a surgeon and a physician.

In the future, as an outstanding medical school graduate, Amy will move into a broader world. As she looks back, Amy's heart is filled with emotion and gratitude. In school, she not only achieved high grades but also made many friends and gained various invaluable experiences. These experiences will be a huge asset in her future life, helping her forge ahead.

Amy said she would not hesitate to recommend Wellington College Tianjin. 

Finally, Amy expressed her thanks to her parents, teachers, friends, and everyone who has supported her and contributed to her becoming the person she is today. Her commitment is: “I'll continue to develop myself and be someone you can continue to be proud of, for you as well as for myself.”
