Anhui top student was admitted to 5 world-famous schools at the same time: parents’ plans determine their children’s life

In the past two days, a topic titled #高三高学士 was admitted to 5 world-famous schools at the same time# dominated the hot searches on Weibo. Hundreds of millions of people followed it, more than 300,000 likes, and more than 10,000 comments. Lei Mengziang, a senior in Class 17 of Huaibei No. 1 Middle School in Anhui Province, was admitted to five world-famous universities at the same time: Imperial College London, University of Edinburgh, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Fordham University and Penn State University. Among them, Imperial College London is ranked among the top ten in the world, and the other three schools are also among the top 100. Fuldham University offered Lei Mengziang a scholarship of RMB 300,000. In the end, Lei Mengziang chose Imperial College London, which is known as the Golden Triangle prestigious school and the G5 super elite university together with Cambridge and Oxford. In the 2020 QS World University Rankings, Imperial College ranks ninth, far higher than Tsinghua University, ranked 16th, and Peking University, ranked 22nd. While everyone was lamenting the birth of a super academic, Lei Meng Ziang\’s parents were not surprised at all: We had planned for their son to enter a top university in the world, and it was expected. There is a line in the movie \”Batman\”: \”When things go according to plan, no one will panic, even if the goal is scary and distant.\” Raymond began learning piano at the age of five and a half, and started dancing at the age of six. Practice has now passed level ten. It’s not unusual to be able to dance and play the piano, but having passed level 10 requires perseverance and step-by-step study. According to the class teacher, Xiaolei is not only a class cadre in the class, but also serves as the secretary of the Youth League. Since entering Huaibei No. 1 Middle School, Xiaolei\’s parents have taken him to travel to many places at home and abroad. Lei Mengziang has been particularly interested in insects since he was a child. When he studied books about insects and creatures, he would definitely get in and out, so Lei\’s parents and Lei\’s mother made a long-term plan for their son. Without affecting learning, Xiao Lei was supported to raise insects and record their living habits. In July 2018, Xiao Lei was also successfully selected for the United Nations Development Program’s summer camp. After entering high school, Lei Mengziang became more and more interested in biology and hoped to engage in biological research in the future. His family suggested: \”You can try to go to a foreign university, maybe you will be closer to your dream of studying biology.\” So, Xiaolei began to search the Internet for information about world-famous schools, look at the admission conditions of each school, and make further plans. In his sophomore year of high school, Lei\’s father and mother signed up for their son to study at an institution in Shanghai to prepare for the exam abroad. Most of the time, Xiao Lei studies various subjects by himself at home. When he encounters questions, he asks the teacher or looks for answers online. In the Advanced Placement exam in May 2019, Xiaolei achieved a perfect score of 5 in all four exams: macroeconomics, microeconomics, calculus, and chemistry. Then, in accordance with the requirements of applying to the school, Xiao Lei, with the support of his parents, came to Senegal, Africa alone in July 2019. (Raymond Ziang’s badge at the Pasteur Institute) He joined the very famous Pasteur Institute, worked with several scientists on field studies of mosquito-borne malaria, and participated in the mead brewing process at Zhejiang University.Art research, published literature review was accepted by China\’s core insect journal \”Chinese Apiculture\”. Under this Weibo, a teacher’s comment is very interesting. He said: “I once taught a student who was also from Imperial College. He held a solo concert on a stage such as the auditorium in a provincial capital city, and the attendees were charity-related people, etc. , these were all written into her application documents. Study tour + talent + publishing papers + enthusiasm for charity, almost standard features of prestigious schools.\” So you see, behind every outstanding child, there must be parents who are strategizing. They see the direction of their child\’s future development based on his/her interests early on, and then painstakingly plan a successful path to the goal. A girl named Li Leyao from Changsha, Hunan Province, a post-2000 academic champion, also received awards from 6 world-famous schools (University of Southern California in the United States, Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, McGill University in Canada, University of Toronto, and the United Kingdom) when she was in high school. Six prestigious schools, including Columbia University and Guelph University, have extended their offers and offered scholarships. Looking at Li Leyao\’s resume, it is also very exciting: he won the CCTV Star of Hope English Contest in junior high school; he scored 119 points on the TOEFL test with a full score of 120, and all five AP subjects had perfect scores (very few in China have perfect scores for oral English, the highest score in mainland China) ; Participated in Jiangsu Satellite TV\’s \”One Stop to the End\” program and won the championship; she likes debating and has won the runner-up in the National Debate Competition, the runner-up in the National English Debate and the top 20 in Asia;… The reporter went to interview Li Leyao\’s mother, and she emphatically said He made two points: \”She is a child who has her own ideas. I trust her and I never restrict her. As long as she goes where she wants to go and what she wants to do, I support her.\” \”You must clearly plan your own goals. In life, you can\’t miss the beauty of adolescence.\” A broken diamond may not be worth much, but once it is strung into a diamond bracelet with a rope, it may be worth a fortune. Most of these children who win at the starting line have found this rope. There is an old saying that goes, \”Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned.\” This is true. When Lei Mengziang and Li Leyao caused heated discussions, some people were jealous: \”At first glance, they are the children of a wealthy family. They are senior high school students in the International Department. Try it as an ordinary person.\” \”You are the second generation of rich people, and your family background should not be underestimated.\” However, Lei Mengziang\’s parents were ordinary bank clerks, and their family background was only moderate. Li Leyao\’s mother is also a bank employee, and his father is a people\’s policeman. The family of three squeezes into a small house. When Leyao was a child, he did all his homework on the table next to the glass of the relative interview room of the police station. There is a proverb in the UK, \”You look old at the age of seven\”, and the inspiration for the documentary \”Seven Years in the Life\” also came from this. Follow up and photograph fourteen seven-year-old children from different walks of life, and then interview these children again every seven years to listen to their lives. The biggest shock to this documentary is the real life conditions of the interviewees during the filming period every seven years. Nick, the son of a farmer, was admitted to the Department of Physics at Oxford University, and then immigrated to the United States to teach at the University of Wisconsin, rising from teaching assistant to associate professor and professor. Neil, who came from an average family, fell into the bottom of the valley from the very beginning.At the end of the day, he wandered around for a long time, relying on government relief funds to survive. The conclusion drawn is very real and heart-breaking: class and family can only determine a person\’s starting point, and the choices each person makes will truly determine their life path. These choices are their plans for the future. (A message from a mother of a DaughterSent reader) How many 7-year-olds can a child have? Long-sightedness must be greater than short-sightedness. Use time as the dimension to plan your child\’s current life. Only by accumulating time can you move from quantitative change to qualitative change and enjoy the compound interest of time. Saito Takashi once wrote in the book \”How to Clearly Meet the Track of Success\”: \”When we look at the Shinkansen timetable, it is natural to think that there will be no possibility of delays, but in fact, hidden behind it is the ability to adapt to changes , Amazing planning ability to deal with problems.\” The same is true for raising children. Only by distinguishing priorities and applying appropriate efforts and controlling the overall situation can you win. The first step is to control your time. Record what you have to do every day, and then allocate it reasonably and strictly implement it. Only by completing the day\’s plan can you get closer to your life-long plan. The second step is to help the child find the goal. Bring your vision of the future into your current life, from a certain interest to a child\’s dream, and then use your current behavior to have an impact on the future. The third step is to narrow the goal and turn each step of the plan into a small habit. When the goal is small enough and incredibly small, children will not be afraid to start. Once you start, because the goal is small enough, as long as you do a little more, you will exceed your expectations. Without the pressure to persist, you will be able to persist. Harvard University conducted a ten-year survey of recent graduates in 1979: 3% of the children had plans and recorded them in their notebooks; 13% of the children had plans but did not implement them in the books; and the remaining 84% The child is very confused and doesn’t know what to do. Ten years later, it was discovered that the future income of the 3% of children who knew how to plan and the remaining children who had no sense of direction was more than 10 times different. So, if only 3% of children in this world can become leaders, why can\’t it be your child?
