17岁华裔女孩凭一篇作文被哈佛耶鲁录取 来感受一下!

来感受一下这开挂的人生!

萧靖彤在接受BBC采访时说:

Identity and the desire to belong are two of the most relatable struggles that people face. I wanted to share a slice of our home life, my relationship with my mother and both of our stories.

对身份认同感和归属感的渴望和挣扎是最能让人产生共鸣的东西。我想和他人分享我的家庭生活的一个侧面,我和母亲的感情和我们俩的经历。

说到自己的母亲,萧靖彤饱含深情:

"My mother is my role model. She keeps me grounded and inspires me not only to dream big but to take action to make those dreams come true. I love her passion for life, her boldness, her compassion and her honesty."

我母亲是我的榜样,她让我脚踏实地,她激励我不光要有梦想,还要采取实际行动让梦想成真。我爱她对生活的热情、她的勇敢、她的悲悯和她的诚实。

这篇优秀的申请作文让萧靖彤脱颖而出,也让她立刻成了网红。许多网友都表达了对她的喜爱。

真是一篇优美真挚的作文。喜欢你拥抱自己的经历和身份的态度。

网友Leon Burke在Facebook上说:

"Getting accepted into all eight Ivy League schools is amazing and after reading your essay, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more than you do."

被所有8所常春藤学校录取真的是不可思议,但看过你的文章以后,我觉得没有人比你更值得这样的成就。

但萧靖彤的成功可不单是依靠这篇作文。在日常学习中,她也是个实打实的大学霸!

萧靖彤目前就读于橙县艺术学校(Orange County School of the Arts),她的GPA高达4.67,SAT成绩更是高达1540。

成绩优异的萧靖彤在社会实践方面也是非常活跃。她目前是校刊的主编,还曾担任《洛杉矶时报》高中特约记者,采访过摩根·弗里曼、爱玛·沃森、克里斯·埃文斯等明星。萧靖彤是漫威的忠实粉丝,她目前的一大愿望是将“复仇者联盟”的群星采访个遍!

她自豪地说:

“I’m an entertainment journalist. Some may see it as a lower form of journalism, but I think it should be held up to all other types of journalists. We can frame celebrities in a light that will inspire followers to follow their dreams.”

我是一名娱乐记者,有些人可能觉得这是低人一等的记者。但我觉得娱记和其他记者都应得到同样重视。我们可以选择一些角度来报道明星,从而激励大众为梦想奋斗。

她还在Youtube上开设了自己的频道,上传自己的采访视频。
