新少年 | Tina田纯舟：从 “意外转弯”到多元绽放，成长里写满关于青春的答案

三年前的夏天，中考成绩揭晓，Tina的人生轨迹意外拐了个弯——从民治中学毕业的她，因滑档与第一志愿高中失之交臂，保底校的选项让她像面对一份不合口味的菜单，怎么也提不起对未来的期待。带着不愿将就的执拗，这个从小就有主见的女孩，主动向家长提出了转轨国际赛道的想法。

谁也没想到，这次略显大胆的选择，竟让她在新哲的三年里一路开挂：不仅把高中三年过成了充满探索与欢笑的成长盛宴，更在这个录取季手握全球Top30名校的入场券，即将带着满腔热忱奔赴加拿大，在更广阔的天地里续写属于自己的精彩篇章。

Tina的高中三年堪称 “多维成长图鉴”，从学术探究到实践创新都留下了鲜活足迹。她以深圳白石洲和南头古城为研究对象，深耕中国城市经济制度与城中村改造趋势，用专业分析为现实问题建言献策；化身 “创意操盘手”，带着融入城中村元素的文创产品闯市场，用SWOT、PEST分析法玩转调研与营销，还亲手打造PPT和视频完成成果展示。

▲城中村研究

在社团江湖里，她是学生会社团部的“组织达人”，是校年鉴的“内容总监”，更是创意市集的“创收先锋”，从招募成员、策划活动到统筹销售，样样拿得出手，商业社团的模拟交易和拍卖会里也总有她活跃的身影。

她的成长清单里从不缺跨界挑战：既是形体课上带教师生的“小教练”，也是辩论课上设计模拟辩论的 “智囊团”；既能在哈佛模联训练营拿下进步奖，又能变身音乐节主持人hold住全场流程。

▲主持演讲活动、担任形体课老师

课余时间，她带着环保宣传资料走进城中村清扫垃圾，用中国舞13级的功底绽放舞台，还以硬笔书法6级的实力书写笔墨情怀。

从学术研究到社会实践，从领导力到才艺深耕，她用高密度的参与度和多元化的尝试，把高中生活过成了一部忙碌且精彩的成长纪录片，活脱脱一位敢闯敢试、全面发展的跨界少女。

十年级，对编辑工作充满兴趣的Tina加入了当年的Yearbook（校园年鉴）制作团队，彼时她是近四十人的编辑队伍中的小成员，负责老师课堂部分的素材收集、文案及设计。

到了十二年级，积累了丰富活动组织经验的Tina，主动向活动中心请缨担当 2025年的主编。她的Yearbook制作之路，完成了从“参与者”到“掌舵人”的蜕变。

接手主编后，她先总结了往年经验：人多虽热闹，却容易因调度分散拖慢进度。于是她大胆精简主创团队至六人，以不同年级和班级的六人牵头，联动学校各部门协同推进。可看似轻盈的团队，要啃下内容收集、设计排版的 “硬骨头”依然不易——团队里有人要兼顾竞赛，有人正冲刺申请，主视觉定调、素材对接收集、版面设计打磨…… 每一步都藏着“一波三折”。

如今翻开即将付印的年鉴，Tina满是感慨：“虽然过程像闯关，但成品里藏着全校的故事，制作过程也是我独一无二的高中回忆。” 

在主基调的选择上，Tina敲定用学校红墙作为主视觉核心：那抹沉稳的红色不仅是新哲校园最醒目的标识，更藏着青春里热烈的归属感。

回顾三年高中时光，Tina坦言学校带给她最深刻的蜕变，是从遇事慌张成长为处变不惊的“淡定派”。

“以前遇到一点突发状况就容易慌张恐惧，现在哪怕活动现场出了岔子，第一反应也是‘先解决问题’。”

这份淡定并非天生，而是在一次次活动组织中“摔打”出来的 —— 从为开放日分享熬夜做PPT、社团招新活动前协调场地道具，到创意市集里统筹销售、双旦晚会上把控流程，大大小小的责任扛在肩上，让她在策划、执行、复盘的循环里逐渐摸清规律，也炼就了“兵来将挡”的底气。

作为过来人，她对学弟学妹们说：“一定要多去尝试活动，别怕承担责任，当你从参与者变成策划者，看着自己的想法落地生根，不仅能力会慢慢提升，心态也会越来越稳。”

另一份让她格外珍视的收获，是与老师的关系从“敬畏”变成了“亦师亦友”。“高中以前总觉得老师是‘权威’，有点恐惧老师。” 但在新哲，课堂外的老师会听她分享活动创意、聊心理学问题、会在她纠结选择时耐心分析利弊。

Tina格外享受与几位女老师之间温暖又有力的联结，数学老师Gloria、经济学老师Prabina和May，不仅课上得清晰透彻，课下也是温柔耐心。班主任Alice，还有从规划初期到申请季收官的升学老师们，也是给了她一路同行的陪伴。

“青少年的成长里，除了同龄人的陪伴，其实也需要成年人的‘过来人视角’。”Tina 感慨道，亦师亦友的老师，用专业能力照亮她的成长路，更用细腻的关怀让她明白：好的师生关系，是可以让人在温暖中勇敢向前的。

谈及给学弟学妹的建议，她再次强校园活动的魔力：“大胆加入喜欢的活动！这不仅是快速融入校园、交到朋友的捷径，更是在实践中成长的机会。” 而和成长同样重要的，是在这段青春里收获纯粹的快乐：“把校园生活过得充实又热闹，在承担责任时找到价值感，在和老师同学的相处中收获温暖，这样的高中才够鲜活！”

从三年前那个面对中考滑档时迷茫的夏天，到如今手握世界名校入场券、带着从容与热忱奔赴远方，Tina 的高中三年，恰似一场意外转弯后的华丽绽放。

她用多元的尝试填满时光，用敢闯的勇气突破边界，在Yearbook的字里行间藏下青春的温度，在社团部的烟火气里炼就担当的底气，更在亦师亦友的陪伴中读懂成长的温柔。

那些曾以为的 “遗憾”，最终成了改写人生的伏笔；那些在忙碌中积累的点滴，都化作了奔赴未来的底气。

当新的征程在枫叶国的土地上铺开，这个永远鲜活、永远向上的少女，定会带着新哲三年的成长印记，继续在更广阔的天地里，写就属于自己的更多精彩答案。

Three years ago, when the high school entrance exam results were released, Tina's life took an unexpected turn. A graduate of Minzhi Middle School, she missed her first-choice high school due to score slippage, and the backup school option left her with no enthusiasm for the future. With the stubbornness of refusing to settle, this opinionated girl since childhood took the initiative to propose to her parents the idea of switching to international high school.

No one expected that this somewhat bold choice would lead to a brilliant journey for her at Sendelta over the past three years: she not only turned her high school years into a growth feast full of exploration and joy, but also secured an offer from a global Top 30 university this admission season. She is about to head to Canada with great enthusiasm to continue her wonderful story in a broader world.

In Young Talk [Vol.52], we explore the "reverse growth" of Tina Tian, a member of Sendelta Student Union, Yearbook editor-in-chief, and graduate of the class of 2025.

Admitted Universities:

University of California, Irvine (U.S. News #33)

University of Toronto (QS #25) - Mathematics /Economics

University of British Columbia (QS#38) - Mathematics/ Economics

Application Scores:

Duolingo: 130 (equivalent to approximately 100 on TOEFL)

AP: 1 subject - Macroeconomics with a score of 5

Tina's three years in high school can be called a "multi-dimensional growth panorama", leaving vivid traces from academic exploration to practical innovation. Taking Shenzhen Baishizhou and Nantou Ancient City as her research objects, she delved into China's urban economic system and the renovation trends of urban villages, and put forward suggestions for practical issues with professional analysis.

In club circles, she shines as the "organization whiz" of the Student Union's Club Department, the "content director" of the school yearbook, and a "revenue pioneer" of creative markets. Skilled in recruiting members, planning events, and coordinating sales, she's also a lively presence in business club simulations and auctions.

Her growth is full of cross-field challenges: she’s both a "little coach" teaching students and teachers in physique classes and a "brain trust" designing mock debates in debate classes; she won a Progress Award at Harvard Model UN training camp and also stepped up as a music festival host to steer the entire event.

▲Hosting speech events and working as a physique class teacher

In her spare time, she heads to urban villages with environmental leaflets to clean up trash, shines on stage with her Grade 13 Chinese dance skills, and expresses her passion through Grade 6 hard-pen calligraphy.

With her high level of participation and diverse attempts, she turned her high school life into a busy yet brilliant growth documentary.

In 10th grade, Tina, interested in editing, joined the Yearbook team as a member of a 40-strong group, handling material collection, copywriting and design for teachers' classes.

By 12th grade, with rich event organizing experience, she volunteered to be 2025 Yearbook editor-in-chief, evolving from a participant to a leader. 

For the main theme, Tina chose the school's red walls as the core visual: the solid red, a striking symbol of Sendelta, embodies the warm sense of belonging in youth.

"Flipping through the soon-to-be printed yearbook, Tina reflects, 'It was like a journey, but the final product holds the school's stories—and the process is my one-of-a-kind high school memory.'"

She hopes this team-effort yearbook becomes a time capsule that brings smiles. Now in print, scan the QR code below to pre-order this exclusive keepsake.

Looking back on three years of high school, Tina says the biggest change is growing from panicky to calm when dealing with things.

"Once I’d panic over small emergencies, but now if something goes wrong at an event, my first thought is ‘solve it first’."

This calm wasn’t innate—it came from organizing events: staying up to make PPTs for open day, coordinating venues and props for club recruitments, managing sales at creative markets, overseeing double festival galas. Taking on these responsibilities helped her learn the ropes through planning, executing and reviewing, building the confidence to handle anything.

To juniors, she advises: "Try more activities and don’t fear responsibility. When you move from participant to planner and see your ideas take shape, your abilities and mindset will both steady."

Another treasure: her relationship with teachers shifted from "awe" to "mentor-friend." "Before high school, I saw teachers as authority figures, even feared them." But at Sendelta, teachers listen to her activity ideas, discuss psychology, and help weigh choices.

She cherishes warm bonds with female teachers: math teacher Gloria, economics teachers Prabina and May, who teach clearly and are gentle outside class; homeroom teacher Alice; and college counselors, who supported her from planning to application season.

"Youth growth needs not just peers, but adults' perspective as those who've been there," Tina reflects. Teacher-friends guided her with expertise and care, showing that good teacher-student bonds encourage courage in warmth.

To juniors, she again stresses campus activities: "Join what you love! It's a shortcut to fit in, make friends, and grow through practice." Equally vital is pure joy: "Live fully, find purpose in responsibility, warmth in relationships—that's a vivid high school!"

From the confused summer three years ago when she missed her first-choice high school, to now holding offers from world top universities and heading forward with calm and passion, Tina’s high school years have been a splendid bloom after an unexpected turn.

What once felt like "regrets" became turning points in her life; the bits accumulated in busyness turned into confidence for the future.

As a new journey unfolds in Canada, this vibrant, upward-moving girl will carry the marks of three years at Sendelta, continuing to write more wonderful stories of her own in a broader world.
