Recap 优秀学生心得：高中奋斗历程, 美国大学申请技巧, 教育升学讲座:
上述教育升学讲座于2012 年11月11日 星期天取得圆满成功. 两位优秀的华夏中文学校校友马吉丝小姐和刘婷娜小姐为我们做了非常精彩的演讲。她们比较系统地讲述了她们在高中阶段的奋斗历程, 以及美国相关名校的申请技巧。我们非常感谢她们为我们学校所做的贡献.请到如下链接查看马吉丝小姐的演讲内容和刘婷娜小姐的演讲内容和相关照片.另外,许多家长对婷娜所著的书《我在美国读高中-哈佛女孩刘婷娜成长手册》很感兴趣, 由于她所带的书供不应求，好些家长没能买到。为了方便家长，我们将帮助登记和收集书款统一购买。请有意购书的家长用如下电邮与我们联系: dachun927@gmail.com. 总之, 要想被美国名校录取, 只有很高的GPA 是不够的, 申请者还必须显示很强的领导才能, 积极参加各种有吸引力的课外和社会活动, 并且在相关专业方面有突出的才能和成就. 我们在不久的将来还将继续举办专门针对学生们的教育升学讲座, 热烈欢迎所有人员积极参与.
