My Growth from Pursuing "Position" to Building "Inner Core" | Ruier Ma | TEDxNFLS Xianlin Youth
In the first year of senior high school, drawn by the "prestige" of club presidents, I joined five clubs with personal motives. However, I didn't get to become a president in my second year. Despite the sense of reluctance, I still sought opportunities to develop my leadership skills.
Later on, I identified three core aspects of personal growth: character development, academic exploration, and social responsibility.
In the end, the cultivation of these three "cores" endowed me with greater strength to face future challenges. 我是南京师范大学附属中学高二学生,学习IB国际课程体系,成绩优良,总分位列年级前30%,托福总分110。完成Cornell康奈尔大学地理信息科学2025暑期课程修习(Cornell Summer School Online Six-week session),成绩为A-。进入Pioneer Academics项目进行研修。连续两年入选“紫金研究计划“,在中国科学院地理湖泊研究所导师指导下,项目顺利结题。
我对足球运动充满兴趣,是校足球社团的主力后卫。通过培训和考试,我获得了中国足协三级裁判员资格证,多次参加大型足球赛的执赛。我系统学习过架子鼓和贝斯演奏,担任学校音乐社团的鼓手和贝斯手,积极参加学校组织的校园大型活动和慈善义演。
我坚持开展校园服务和社会公益活动,参加学校每周的图书馆公益活动;盱眙贫困山区初中支教活动;中国足协杯赛事志愿者活动;“长江守望 益路同行” 系列慈善公益服务活动;“青春闪耀 志愿金陵”志愿者活动;江苏省大学生创新大赛志愿者;美国青少年交流营等活动,总计服务时长近100小时。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
