My visit to Wake Forest University helped me understand more about the school, what it offers, and what I can learn as a student. The campus was scenic, and the people so nice. When I was driving to the Welcome Center, some students waved to me. It definitely proved that Wake Forest is the one, because I want to make new friends and enjoy good company. The campus tour was very informational, especially the parts about food and amenities, which confirmed my desire to study and become a part of the Deacon family. My interviewer was Lando Pieroni, a polite and awesome guy. He answered all my questions about the campus. One thing that astonished me was he turned out to be an international student as well, hailing from Florence, Italy. Again, it was a most rewarding experience and I really enjoyed the conversation!

I like the school motto “Pro Humanitate,” which is something I believe in and want to follow lifelong. I was a founder of the Interact Club at school, the mission of which is to be humble and to serve. Then from the Wake Forest website, I strongly agree with the idea of emphasizing face-to-face interaction, which really bands people together. I have also heard before that WFU offers one of the best psychology majors in America. Majoring in psychology would give me in-depth knowledge about human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Working under seasoned faculty, I will gain a clear and better understanding of psychological terms and theories. Presently, I have accomplished some research and internship in terms of anxiety and stress in China and America, and my career may continue at WFU so that I will gain a better perspective on which therapies will best help those suffering from anxiety disorders.

我喜欢学校的校训“Pro Humanitate”,这是我坚信并希望终生遵循的。我是学校互动俱乐部的创始人,其使命是谦逊和服务。然后,在维克森林网站上,我非常同意强调面对面互动的想法,这种互动真正将人们联系在一起。我以前也听说WFU提供美国最好的心理学专业之一。主修心理学会让我对人类的思想、情感和行为有更深入的了解。在经验丰富的教师的指导下工作,我将对心理学术语和理论有一个清晰和更好的理解。目前,我已经在中国和美国完成了一些关于焦虑和压力的研究和实习,我的职业生涯可能会继续在WFU,以便我能够更好地了解哪些疗法最能帮助焦虑症患者。

Shelley's Frankenstein reveals the complexity of the world to me. It is a tragedy about mankind trying to usurp the role of the Maker and everything going south. Victor thought himself as a god and wanted to create a new race. However, his methods and ideas were far from perfect, leading to the birth of a monster. Feared and hated by all, the monster sought revenge upon Victor’s family, his brother, his friend, and even his wife. What the monster wanted is unconditional love from its creator; this, however, might be something beyond the caliber of human beings.
This world is full of mysteries, and there are Pandora's boxes that are not meant to be opened. Things like artificial intelligence or transgenic crops may bring great benefits to society, yet they also have caveats that must receive attention. Victor loved natural science. Sadly, he ended up creating something that left a trail of destruction. Despite it is great to bravely venture into the unexplored frontier, we must proceed with caution.
On the other hand, the monster was despised and rejected by men. He tried to make friends and help others, but was always cast out in the end. People were afraid of him because he was different. Judging people through outward appearance and treating people based on stereotypes and prejudices are some of our innate vices. The monster did harbor sparks of kindness and gentleness in its heart, but these were soon stifled by the cold words and acts. God looks at the heart, not merely at outward appearance. Therefore, it is time to embrace diversity. Only by treating others with respect and loving neighbors as ourselves can we make this world a better place.

雪莱的《弗兰肯斯坦》向我揭示了世界的复杂性。这是一场悲剧,人类试图篡夺造物主的角色,一切都在走向南方。维克多认为自己是上帝,想创造一个新的种族。然而,他的方法和思想远非完美,导致了怪物的诞生。所有人都害怕和憎恨这个怪物,它试图向维克多的家人、兄弟、朋友甚至妻子复仇。怪物想要的是造物主无条件的爱;然而,这可能超出了人类的能力。
这个世界充满了神秘,还有潘多拉的盒子是不应该打开的。像人工智能或转基因作物之类的东西可能会给社会带来巨大的好处,但它们也有必须注意的注意事项。维克托热爱自然科学。可悲的是,他最终创造了一些留下毁灭痕迹的东西。尽管勇敢地进入未经探索的边境是伟大的,但我们必须谨慎行事。
另一方面,怪物被人类鄙视和排斥。他试图结交朋友和帮助别人,但最终总是被抛弃。人们害怕他,因为他与众不同。通过外表判断人,根据成见和偏见对待人,是我们天生的一些恶习。这个怪物的内心确实蕴藏着善良和温柔的火花,但这些火花很快就被冷酷的言行所扼杀。上帝看的是心灵,而不仅仅是外表。因此,是时候拥抱多样性了。只有尊重他人,像对待自己一样关爱邻居,我们才能让这个世界变得更美好。

AADPS老师文书点评:维克的文书不长,但篇目较多且较为繁琐。学校通过这种方式和特殊的ED方案筛选出特别关注本校的申请者,因此这一点可以说是出彩申请材料的重中之重。
家长感言:虽然说谋事在人成事在天,但选择AADPS可以说是我们整个升学阶段最幸运的事情。名校毕业的指导老师们真的很耐心也很有想法,我自己在这个过程中也学到了不少!
