I first came to know about Carleton during the process of pre-college program searching. Carleton stood out among many top picks for its liberal arts atmosphere and safe location. Immediately attracted by those two factors, I could not wait to apply to the Carleton Summer Science Institute. In the past summer, I took a sneak peek of all the virtues Carleton has to offer, which made me love this dynamic college even more.
Then as I prepared for college application, my counselor told me more and I even hung out with a senior. The current undergraduate showed me how Carleton values every student’s overall quality as a person and how warm the community really is. By learning her moments in the past few years, I closely observed how life in Carleton is like. Concerts, dining halls, floor activities... All those made Carleton the apple of my eye.

我第一次了解卡尔顿是在大学预科课程搜索的过程中。卡尔顿因其文科氛围和安全的地理位置而在众多顶级选择中脱颖而出。这两个因素立刻吸引了我，我迫不及待地想申请卡尔顿暑期科学研究所（Carleton Summer Science Institute）。在过去的夏天里，我偷偷地瞥了一眼卡尔顿大学的所有优点，这让我更喜欢这所充满活力的大学。
然后，当我准备大学申请时，我的辅导员告诉了我更多，我甚至和一位大四学生出去玩。现在的本科生向我展示了Carleton如何重视每个学生作为一个人的整体素质，以及社区到底有多温暖。通过了解她过去几年的经历，我仔细观察了卡尔顿的生活。音乐会，餐厅，现场活动。。。所有这些使卡尔顿成为我的掌上明珠。

This summer I attended CSSI program in Carleton, which showed me a brand-new picture of how school days could be like. I practiced my lab skills substantially and eliminated poor habits and performance issues with the help of lab assistants. I also took part in many dazzling activities and met tons of new people.
Community here is always close-knit and warm. In fact, I experienced the so-called "Minnesota nice." The most memorable moment was probably the evening discussion, where everyone openly shared opinions and respected each other.
As a side note, I noticed that Carleton’s nickname is Knights, a hero archetype that fancies me over the years. Knights are gentle, loyal, and handsome, the type of person I aspire to grow into. Most importantly, knights defend the goodness. The chivalric code has inspired me all along, so I can proudly say that I am destined to be a Carleton Knight.

今年夏天，我参加了卡尔顿的CSSI项目，它向我展示了一幅全新的校园景象。在实验室助理的帮助下，我充分练习了我的实验室技能，并消除了不良习惯和性能问题。我还参加了许多令人眼花缭乱的活动，结识了很多新朋友。
这里的社区总是紧密而温暖的。事实上，我经历了所谓的“明尼苏达尼斯”最难忘的时刻可能是晚上的讨论，每个人都公开分享观点，相互尊重。
顺便说一句，我注意到卡尔顿的绰号是骑士，一个多年来一直迷恋我的英雄原型。骑士们温柔、忠诚、英俊，是我渴望成长为的那种人。最重要的是，骑士捍卫善良。骑士精神一直激励着我，所以我可以自豪地说，我注定要成为一名卡尔顿骑士。
