International Student Voices BELLA BAO Class of 2019 UC San Diego

“As a junior transfer student from my high school in China, I have been through difficulties in adapting to a brand-new study system and lifestyle. But I’m proud that I never gave up and I’m so grateful that I had Moreau faculty and staff to help me get through all of it. Life is fantastic when we try to get out of our comfort zone, to test our limits, and to never give up.”

“身为一名来自中国高三的转学生，我在适应全 新的学习体系和生活方式方面曾遇到很多困难。 但我很自豪，因为我从未放弃，我很感激我有莫 若的老师及职员们帮助我完成经历一切。 当我 们试图跳脱我们的舒适区，不断地测试自己的极 限，却永不放弃时，生活真是美妙啊。”

“Moreau prepared me for college by inspiring my purpose at school and my way of a happy student lifestyle, in addition to providing me with loads of opportunities for personal development and participation.”

“除了为我提供大量个人发展和参与机会外，莫 若启发我，协助我找到在学校的目标和快乐的学 生生活型态，为我的升大学做好了准备。”

“While at Moreau, I discovered my potential for creativity, leadership, courage, and persistence.

Thinking about all four years at Moreau, I am amazed that I started a club and persisted for three years; I am amazed that I became the president of ISP council after being a general officer for three years; I am amazed that I had the courage to apply for the TEDx event and make it.”

“在莫若，我发现了我的创造力，领导力，勇气 和坚持的潜能。 回想过去在莫若的四年，我很 惊讶於我完成了这么多的事：我创办了一个俱乐 部，并坚持了三年; 我在担任总干事三年后，我 成为了国际学生项目的理事会主席; 我有勇气申 请参加TEDx 演讲活动，而且我完成了它。”
