“我曾是个重度拖延症患者。”Evey 笑着坦白。初中时，她总把作业拖到睡前，结果既没学好，也没玩好。但从十年级开始，她找到了属于自己的时间管理法则：“在学校把事情往前赶，放学就能彻底拥抱热爱。”

童年时期的Evey

于是，课堂上的她专注高效，利用课间整理笔记、解决疑问；放学后的时间，则被兴趣填满 —— 街舞室里挥洒汗水，乐器前沉淀心绪，球场上释放活力。“学的时候不想玩，玩的时候不想学，反而两样都能做好。”

这种 “分段专注” 的方式，不仅让她在 GPA 和标化考试中保持优异，更让兴趣成为了学业的“调味剂”。“有时候写经济论文累了，弹一首吉他曲，思路反而会突然清晰。”对她而言，平衡不是“取舍”，而是让学业与爱好成为彼此的“能量补给站”—— 就像街舞的律动能激活思维，经济的逻辑能让编舞更有层次，它们本就是相辅相成的存在。

申请季的文书，是 Evey 最 “敢写” 的部分。在北美课程体系中，宏观经济与微观经济是她的 “心头好”，而文书里，她大胆地将 “外部性理论” 与生活体验结合 —— 通过对比两位经济学家的观点，分析 “个人行为对他人的隐性影响”，最终落脚到自己对 “经济学专业” 的理解：“就像我跳街舞时，观众的热情会反过来激励我，这种‘双向影响’不就是一种社会层面的‘外部性’吗？”

这份 “用专业视角解读生活” 的思考，正是文书的点睛之笔。“我没有刻意堆砌成就，只是写了我真正在想的东西。” 她说，另一段让招生官眼前一亮的内容，是关于家人的描述。从陪她追星、听演唱会，到申请季陪她做美甲、吃火锅缓解焦虑，父母的无条件支持成了她 “最柔软的铠甲”。“父母教会我的，是‘真诚比完美更重要’—— 这一点，我想通过文字传递给了招生官。”

正如她在文书中写的：“成长不是孤立的轨迹，而是无数人与事交织的网络。” 在法拉古特的这几年，班主任孙老师和元老师的关怀也成了这张网络里温暖的节点。“他们不仅教我知识，更在我迷茫时像家人一样开导我。比如十一年级选课时的纠结，申请期的自我怀疑，正是这些陪伴让我更有勇气做自己。”Evey 将对两位班主任老师的感激，融入了对成长的回望里。

Evey与好朋友们

站在毕业的路口回望，Evey 的心中满是对这段校园时光的感念。对她而言，回忆中的 “小瞬间” 或许是街舞社第一次合练时的笑声，是经济课上为一个观点据理力争的时刻，是万圣节舞台上同学递来的一瓶水，是孙老师课后耐心讲解题目的身影，是母亲默默放在桌角的一盘水果…… 正是这些碎片，拼凑出了她 “不设限” 的青春。

热爱旅行的Evey说：“读万卷书不如行万里路”

“感谢法拉古特给我的，不是一条‘标准答案’，而是一片‘可以自己画地图’的原野。”Evey说道。

即将踏上北美求学之路，Evey 知道，未来的日子里，对经济学科的热爱会继续指引她探索世界的逻辑，而街舞的律动、乐器的旋律，仍会是她释放心灵的出口。正如她在校园里学会的那样：不必急着定义自己的方向，只需带着这份在包容中滋养出的从容，认真对待每一次选择，珍惜每一段经历。

愿 Evey 在新的旅程里，依然能在热爱中沉淀，在探索中发光，活成自己期待的模样。

Farragut Class of 2025 Graduate

Admitted to: University of California, San Diego

On the campus of Farragut School in Tianjin, Guo Shengying (Evey) is always surrounded by diverse energy: in the street dance studio, she is the organizer leading members in refining their moves; on stage, she ignites the crowd's enthusiasm with Hiphop; on the golf course, her composed swing contrasts with the quiet melody flowing from her fingertips at the piano. This girl, who infuses her passion into her daily life, proves through her actions that interests and academics are not mutually exclusive choices, but rather two paths that enrich growth. Today, we delve into her story to see how she nurtures both interests and academics side by side on the grounds of Farragut.

Guo Shengying (Evey) has received offers from:

1.University of California—San Diego (Scholarship: $40,000);

2.University of California—Davis;

3.University of California—Irvine;

4.University of California—Santa Barbara;

5.University of Toronto, St. George;

6.University of Toronto, Mississauga (Scholarship: $12,000);

7.University of Toronto, Scarborough (Scholarship: $12,000);

8.University of Rochester (Scholarship: $5,000);

9.The Ohio State University.

“I used to be a severe procrastinator,” Evey confessed with a smile. In junior high school, she always put off her homework until bedtime, with the result that she neither studied well nor played well. But starting in tenth grade, she found her own time management method: “Get things done at school, so you can fully embrace what you love after school.”

Evey as a child

So, in class, she is focused and efficient, using breaks to organize her notes and resolve any questions she may have. After school, she fills her time with her interests — sweating it out in the street dance studio, calming her mind with music, and releasing her energy on the sports field. “When I'm studying, I don't want to play, and when I'm playing, I don't want to study, but I can do both well.”

This “segmented focus” approach not only helped her maintain excellent grades and standardized test scores, but also made her interests a “spice” for her studies. “Sometimes when I'm tired from writing an economics paper, playing a guitar piece can suddenly clarify my thoughts.” For her, balance isn't about “sacrifice,” but about letting academics and hobbies become each other's “energy stations”—just as the rhythm of street dance can activate the mind, and the logic of economics can add depth to choreography, they are inherently complementary.

The application essays were the part Evey felt most confident about writing. In the North American curriculum, macroeconomics and microeconomics were her favorite subjects, and in her essays, she boldly combined the “theory of externalities” with her personal experiences—by comparing the views of two economists, she analyzed the “hidden impact of individual behavior on others,” ultimately arriving at her own understanding of the “economics major”: Just as when I dance hip-hop, the enthusiasm of the audience motivates me in return. Isn't this ‘two-way influence’ a form of ‘externalities’ at the societal level?"

Evey and her parents

This reflection on “interpreting life through a professional lens” is the highlight of the essay. “I didn't deliberately pile on achievements; I just wrote what I was truly thinking.” She said that another div that caught the admissions officers' attention was her description of her family. From accompanying her to pursue her interests, attend concerts, to supporting her during the application season by doing her nails and eating hot pot to alleviate anxiety, her parents' unconditional support became her “softest armor.” “What my parents taught me is that ‘sincerity is more important than perfection’—this is what I wanted to convey to the admissions officers through my writing.”

As she wrote in her essay: “Growth is not an isolated journey, but a network intertwined with countless people and events.” During her years at Farragut, the care and support from her homeroom teachers, Ms. Sun and Mr. Yuan, became warm nodes within this network. “They not only taught me knowledge but also guided me like family when I was confused. For instance, the uncertainty during eleventh-grade course selection and the self-doubt during the application period—it was this companionship that gave me the courage to be myself.” Evey has woven her gratitude for the two homeroom teachers into her reflection on growth.

Evey with her friends

Standing at the crossroads of graduation, Evey’s heart is filled with gratitude for her time on campus. For her, the “little moments” she remembers might be the laughter during the first rehearsal of the street dance club, the moment she argued passionately for a point of view in economics class, the bottle of water a classmate handed her on the Halloween stage, the figure of Mr. Sun patiently explaining a problem after class, or the plate of fruit her mother quietly placed on the corner of the table… It is these fragments that piece together her “boundless” youth.  

Evey, who loves traveling, says, “Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.”

“Thank you, Farragut, for giving me not a ‘standard answer,’ but a field where I can draw my own map,” Evey said.

As she prepares to embark on her academic journey in North America, Evey knows that her passion for economics will continue to guide her in exploring the logic of the world. Meanwhile, the rhythm of street dance and the melodies of musical instruments will remain her outlets for expressing her inner self. Just as she learned on campus: there is no need to rush to define one’s path. Instead, one should approach each choice with the composure nurtured in an inclusive environment, and cherish every experience.

May Evey continue to find fulfillment in her passions, shine through her explorations, and live life as she envisions it.
