规划老师篇
The University of Rochester motto of Meliora – or “ever better” - deeply integrates critical core values into all that we do. These core values of equity, leadership, integrity, openness, respect and accountability define not only who we are, but also who we hope to become.
这是第一次和Henry面谈的片段，他诉说的每一个活动都让我们更加了解孩子的专业兴趣领域——物理。再认识到Henry优秀的独立探索能力。延续这一特点，我们设计让Henry继续独立探究物理相关，包括石墨烯以及光电探测器基本原理探索。
与此同时，给Henry安排了自学化学物理相结合的大学课程（Coursera）。尽管高二AP课业压力大，他还是会每周抽出时间完成留学规划中的课程。

除了物理方向探索，Henry对化学也很感兴趣。参加JCCO，ASOC竞赛并荣获多个奖状。另外还参加AMC，AMT，USAD美国学术十项全能等竞赛。
外方导师篇
When I first met Henry, he came off as laidback. As I got to know him better during the course of our sessions, I realized that he possessed a diverse array of interests and talents and a kind heart. In fact, despite appearances, he was determined to push himself until he succeeded.
Since Henry excels in the sciences and aimed for a top university, our team researched schools with Henry and we jointly decided that the University of Rochester would be a great fit for him.
Rochester, a small research university situated in upstate New York, is renowned for its top-notch science programs and as a feeder school for the US’s best medical schools. In addition, Rochester has very few requirements as part of its core curriculum, which would give Henry the freedom he craves to study his variegated interests.
Rochester also possesses a community of proactive students and hundreds of student clubs, a perfect match for Henry. Henry could contribute to Rochester as he did in high school and to the greater community as he did by creating a novel kind of LED lamp to raise money for needy children. Thus, Henry and we were elated when Rochester admitted him in the early decision round.
申请导师篇
最早第一次接触到Henry的资料时，我就被他很多的很有意思的实践深深吸引。这是非常难得的一点，因为现在有太多的同学都不大愿意在课余花时间在一些看似不够大型或者不够有名头的活动上。
在和Henry面对面详细聊他的各种经历及想法的过程中，我更是看到了这个活波的大男孩身上的许多闪光点，有聪敏，有乐于实践，有专注等等。在我有意识地引导下，Henry将自己的各种大大小小的活动、爱好、故事都讲的非常生动细致，而这些小细节正是我们去架构他的文书的灵感来源。
无论是种植小植物还是利用自学的编程设计去帮助贫困地区的学生，无论是演讲经历还是挑战固态物理学相关知识，Henry都是积极的尝试者。因此，在几次深入交流后，Henry的活动列表的重点，还有大文书的立意、主题、框架等等就非常清晰了。
我也让Henry动手写了非常详细的文书初稿，并帮他挑选重点部分进行进一步深挖，在这个过程中Henry也逐渐找到了写申请文书的感觉，这对他后面的补充文书的准备也都助力良多。
在一篇篇大大小小的文书中，我们用文字勾勒出Henry的立体形象，在ED1阶段就紧紧抓住了以鼓励自由探索及实践的罗切斯特大学的注意力。12月中旬，Henry的申请圆满结束！
那种事事有答复,句句有回应的聊天,真的很舒服。
关于Henry同学的分享就到这里啦，祝愿他未来越来越好。
