成都狄邦肯思學校學生專訪：在肯思的四年是一場關於成長的溫暖旅程

01、在肯思的四年，是一場關(guan) 於(yu) 成長的溫暖旅程

四年前，Joe 踏入肯思校園的那一刻，像一顆剛剛破土的種子，帶著對未來的無限好奇和隱隱的不安。四年後的今天，他已經長成了一棵挺拔的樹，枝葉繁茂，根係深深紮進這片土地。他是籃球場上的領袖，是“F4”友情圈的核心，是數學和物理領域的探索者，也是目前全校拿到最多大學 offer 的學生。然而，這些標簽背後，是一個(ge) 關(guan) 於(yu) 成長、溫暖和堅持的故事。

02、籃球場上的他：不隻是隊長，更是團隊的“定心丸”

從(cong) 小，Joe 就被身邊的人稱作“天才少年”，他的學習(xi) 能力和運動天賦總是讓人驚歎。但真正讓他與(yu) 眾(zhong) 不同的，是他對籃球的“深刻分析”。籃球不僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是他的興(xing) 趣，它更是他探索物理世界的一扇窗。他常常在比賽視頻中拆解運球、投籃、扣籃的每一個(ge) 細節，用 A-level 物理知識分析這些動作的原理。他說道：“運動不僅(jin) 是身體(ti) 的動作，背後其實蘊藏著很多科學。”

在校隊中，Joe 從(cong) 一名普通隊員成長為(wei) 球隊的核心，最終擔任隊長。在“King’s Cup” 總決(jue) 賽上，他帶領隊伍遠征杭州，麵對裁判的偏袒，他並沒有被情緒左右，而是選擇冷靜應對。

當比賽進入白熱化階段，他精準預判防守隊員的跳躍時機，調整自己的出手節奏，在空中多停留了一瞬，避開第二道防守，穩穩地將球投進籃筐。

那一球，直接點燃了全隊的士氣，最終他們(men) 贏得了比賽。作為(wei) 隊長，Joe 深知自己的責任不僅(jin) 是得分，更重要的是帶動隊伍的氛圍。

賽前，他常常帶領隊員們(men) 喊出口號：“1，2，3, Kings！”鼓舞士氣，增強團隊的歸屬感。

籃球對 Joe 來說，遠不止一項運動，它是他理解世界的方式，是他與(yu) 隊友們(men) 共同呼吸的節奏。

但很少有人知道，他的領袖氣質並非天生。剛加入校隊時，他也曾因一次失誤而自責不已。那是一個(ge) 寒冷的冬夜，訓練結束後，他獨自留在球場上，一遍又一遍地練習(xi) 投籃。盡管冷風刺骨，汗水浸透了球衣，但他的眼神依舊堅定。那時，他明白了一個(ge) 道理：“真正的領袖，不是從(cong) 不犯錯，而是敢於(yu) 麵對錯誤，並從(cong) 中站起來。”

03、F4 友情圈：他是那個(ge) “永遠在線”的朋友

Joe 從(cong) 來不是一個(ge) 隨波逐流的人，反而總是保持著鮮明的個(ge) 性，敢於(yu) 表達自己的觀點，也善於(yu) 激勵身邊的朋友。他和幾位好友組成了一個(ge) 名為(wei) “F4”的小團體(ti) ，幾乎形影不離。

無論是上課、打球、熬夜複習(xi) ，還是在食堂排隊時爭(zheng) 論“披薩上該不該加酸奶”，他們(men) 都總是在一起。無論是課堂上拋出一個(ge) 有趣的觀點，還是課間組織大家一起討論數學難題，Joe 總是能夠輕鬆帶動氣氛。他不僅(jin) 是朋友，還是大家的主心骨。

談到Joe 和他的 “F4” 團隊中最難忘的一次經曆，莫過於(yu) 他們(men) 一起製作水火箭的那次項目。那時候，團隊的四個(ge) 人首次真正意義(yi) 上地緊密合作，共同應對挑戰，正如 Joe 說道：“這是我們(men) 第一次合體(ti) 做一個(ge) 項目，意義(yi) 非凡。” 他們(men) 決(jue) 定通過氣壓原理來發射水火箭，而整個(ge) 過程中，每個(ge) 人都發揮了自己的特長。

“我們(men) 當時借了美術老師的熱熔膠，完全靠手工製作火箭，大家一起設計、搭建。” Joe 回憶道。在製作過程中，團隊分工明確，Joe 擅長設計和手工，他負責了火箭的造型和搭建，團隊的其他成員則根據各自的特長進行分工。“我擅長設計和手工，Gene和Charles他們(men) 負責英語報告，Max負責熱熔膠的應用，他簡直就是我們(men) 的工程師。”

通過這次合作，Joe 和他的團隊第一次深刻體(ti) 會(hui) 到了分工和協作的力量，最終他們(men) 的水火箭飛得非常高，成功發射。“這是我們(men) 第一次將默契具象化，每個(ge) 人貢獻出自己最擅長的部分，大家的配合讓整個(ge) 項目取得了巨大的成功。” Joe 說，正是通過這次合作，他們(men) 不僅(jin) 學到了空氣動力學，還加深了彼此的默契，成為(wei) 了真正的團隊。

在學業(ye) 上，Joe 喜歡幫助朋友們(men) 解決(jue) 難題，尤其是數學和物理。他的邏輯思維能力十分出色，總能用最簡潔的方式解釋複雜的概念。他笑著說：“其實，學科就像是生活中的工具，很多問題用這些工具就能輕鬆搞定。”同學們(men) 親(qin) 切地稱他為(wei) “運用大王”，他總能巧妙地運用學科知識解釋生活中的種種現象。

04、數學與(yu) 物理的探索者：他用公式書(shu) 寫(xie) 對世界的熱愛

Joe 對數學和物理的熱愛，始於(yu) 初三時的一次偶然發現。那時，他第一次接觸微積分，被其精妙的邏輯深深吸引。“數學不僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是冰冷的公式，它是一種理解世界的語言。”Joe 說。他發現，速度（v）可以寫(xie) 作 ds/dt，加速度（a）則是 dv/dt，這些看似枯燥的符號背後，實際上蘊藏著宇宙的運行規律。

在肯思，他將這種對數學和物理的興(xing) 趣進一步深化，屢獲 AMC12、UKMT 數學競賽、英國物理奧林匹克競賽的佳績，並參與(yu) 了“學生領袖物理交流社”。他和成員們(men) 一起，利用 Excel 進行衛星軌道的迭代計算，甚至在遊戲《Kerbal Space Program 2》中模擬航天任務。Joe 發現，他的思維方式已經遠遠超越了課本知識，數學公式甚至可以幫助他分析籃球的拋物線軌跡和排球扣球的原理。

對他而言，數學和物理不僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是學科，更是一種生活方式——一種以公式書(shu) 寫(xie) 世界的方式。每當麵對複雜的物理問題時，他會(hui) 不自覺地用數學的語言去解構它，去尋找隱藏在每個(ge) 現象背後的原理。

在這條學術之路上，Joe 得到了潘老師和 Thomas 的巨大幫助。潘老師不僅(jin) 是他數學學習(xi) 上的導師，總能用精準的方式點撥他，讓他在備戰競賽時少走彎路。而 Thomas 則在物理方麵給予了他深遠的影響，教會(hui) 了 Joe 如何用更係統的思維去解決(jue) 複雜的問題。

每次上課前，Thomas 總會(hui) 問他一句：“Joe，are you happy today?”這句話看似簡單，然而對 Joe 來說，它卻早已成為(wei) 一種溫暖的儀(yi) 式，提醒他無論學習(xi) 多麽(me) 艱難，心情始終是最重要的。兩(liang) 位老師的幫助，不僅(jin) 使他在數學和物理的道路上走得更遠，也堅定了他未來深造的決(jue) 心。

05、遠山鄉(xiang) 村的溫暖：他用奔跑點燃孩子們(men) 的夢想

Joe 的溫暖遠不止體(ti) 現在校園內(nei) ，他還將這份愛與(yu) 熱情帶到了遙遠的鄉(xiang) 村。暑假期間，Joe 作為(wei) 誌願者，來到了四川閬中的一所山區小學。那裏，孩子們(men) 沒有先進的教學設施，甚至沒有足夠的課本，但他們(men) 對知識的渴望卻深深打動了他。

在一年級的課堂上，Joe 用幽默風趣的方式讓孩子們(men) 愛上學習(xi) ，還特地帶來了糖果獎勵他們(men) 的努力。最具挑戰的是七年級的數學課，為(wei) 了幫助學生們(men) 理解抽象的公式，他突發奇想，親(qin) 自扮演成一輛正在加速的汽車，在教室裏變速奔跑著講解數學概念。每一次奔跑，他都希望孩子們(men) 能夠感受到數學的速度和動力。課後，當他看到計步軟件上顯示的 20000 多步時，他感到一種從(cong) 未有過的滿足感。

當他離開學校時，孩子們(men) 送給他一疊手工製作的卡片，上麵寫(xie) 滿了對他的感謝和祝福。看到這些卡片，Joe 再也忍不住淚流滿麵。那一刻，他深深感受到自己的付出得到了回報，也更加堅定了要用知識改變他人命運的信念。

05、未來的他：將肯思精神帶向更遠的地方

Joe的故事，是肯思精神的生動體(ti) 現。在這裏，每一個(ge) 學生都被鼓勵去探索自己的潛力，去追求自己的夢想。無論是學術上的突破，還是運動場上的拚搏，亦或是社區中的溫暖奉獻，肯思都為(wei) 他們(men) 提供了最堅實的支持。

在采訪中，Joe用“關(guan) 懷、挑戰、成長”三個(ge) 詞來總結自己對肯思的感受。他說：“肯思是一所充滿關(guan) 懷的學校，老師們(men) 無時無刻不在關(guan) 心每一個(ge) 學生的成長與(yu) 發展，給予每個(ge) 人源源不斷的支持和鼓勵。”肯思的關(guan) 懷體(ti) 現在每一個(ge) 細節中。

無論是升學老師塗老師的耐心指導，還是數學老師潘老師的精準點撥，亦或是物理老師Thomas的係統思維訓練，每一位老師都在用他們(men) 的專(zhuan) 業(ye) 與(yu) 熱情，幫助學生找到自己的方向。Joe回憶道：“塗老師總是能在我最迷茫的時候，給我最溫暖的鼓勵和最實際的建議。他讓我明白，升學不僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是拿到offer，更是一個(ge) 自我探索的過程。”

談到肯思精神時，Joe感慨道：“肯思精神在我這裏就是傳(chuan) 承。”他接過上一任學長的火炬，帶著對肯思的深厚情感，決(jue) 心將這種精神傳(chuan) 遞給下一代學弟學妹。他希望，無論是排球隊、籃球隊，還是學術上的探索，都能將肯思精神繼續發揚光大。每一個(ge) 學子的成長故事，都如同這份精神的延續，成為(wei) 了肯思大家庭中重要的一部分。

肯思，不僅(jin) 是一所學校，更是一個(ge) 讓夢想生根發芽的地方。在這裏，學生們(men) 不僅(jin) 得到知識的滋養(yang) ，更在關(guan) 懷與(yu) 挑戰中收獲成長與(yu) 力量。每個(ge) 人都在這裏找到了屬於(yu) 自己的方向，發現了自己無限的可能性。正如Joe所說：“肯思給予了我追逐夢想的勇氣和力量，幫助我成為(wei) 了更好的自己。”

這一場關(guan) 於(yu) 成長的旅程，並不會(hui) 因畢業(ye) 而結束。它隻是另一個(ge) 新征程的開始…

01、Four years at KCS:A warm journey of growth.

Four years ago, Joe entered KCS as a seed full of curiosesity and unease about the future. Today, he stands tall like a tree, with deep roots in this community. He is a leader on the basketball court, the heart of his “F4” friend group, an explorer in math and physics, and currently the student with the most college offers. Behind these labels lies a story of growth, warmth, and perseverance.

02、On the basketball court,he's not just the captain, but the team's anchor.

Since childhood, Joe has been called a "prodigy" for his academic and athletic abilities. What truly sets him apart, however, is his "in-depth analysis" of basketball. For him, basketball is not just a hobby; it's a window to explore the physical world.

He often breaks down dribbling, shooting, and dunking in game videos, using A-level physics to analyze the principles behind these movements. "Sports are not just physical actions; there's a lot of science behind them," he says.

In the school team, Joe grew from a regular player to the core of the team, ultimately becoming captain. In the "King’s Cup" finals in Hangzhou, despite biased refereeing, he stayed calm and composed. As the game reached a crucial moment, he accurately predicted the defender's jump timing, adjusted his shot rhythm, and paused mid-air to avoid a second defender, sinking the ball smoothly into the basket. That shot boosted the entire team's morale, leading them to victory. As captain, Joe knew his responsibility went beyond scoring—he focused on lifting the team's spirit. Before games, he often led chants to inspire and strengthen the sense of unity: "1, 2, 3, Kings!"

For Joe, basketball is more than a sport—it's how he understands the world and connects with his teammates. Few know, however, that his leadership qualities were not innate. Early on, after a mistake during a game, he stayed late one cold winter night to practice shooting, despite the biting wind and soaked shirt. In that moment, he realized: "A true leader isn't one who never makes mistakes, but one who faces them and rises again."

03、F4 Friendship Circle:He’s the "always there" friend.

Joe has never been one to go with the flow; he has always stood out with his unique personality, expressing his opinions and inspiring those around him. He formed a close-knit group called "F4" with a few friends, and they were nearly inseparable. Whether in class, playing basketball, studying late, or debating whether pizza should have yogurt, they were always together. Joe easily sparked conversation, whether sharing an interesting idea in class or leading a discussion on math problems during break. He’s not just a friend but the group's pillar.

The most unforgettable experience for Joe and his "F4" team was their first project making water rockets. It was their first time truly working together, facing challenges as a team. As Joe put it, "This was our first project as a group, and it was meaningful." They decided to launch the water rocket using air pressure principles, with each team member contributing their strengths.

Joe and his "F4" team’s most memorable experience was building a water rocket together. "We borrowed a hot glue gun from our art teacher and built the rocket by hand," Joe recalls. Each team member played to their strengths—Joe designed and built the rocket, while others worked on the English report and glue application. "Max was our engineer with the glue," Joe says.

Through this project, they learned the power of collaboration, and their rocket soared high. "It was our first time turning teamwork into action, and everyone’s contribution led to great success," Joe adds. They not only learned about aerodynamics but also deepened their bond as a team.

Academically, Joe loves helping his friends solve problems, especially in math and physics. With his sharp logical thinking, he simplifies complex concepts effortlessly. "Subjects are like tools in life; many problems can be easily solved with them," he says. His classmates affectionately call him the "King of Application," as he skillfully uses academic knowledge to explain everyday phenomena.

04、Explorer of Math and Physics:He expresses his love for theworld through formulas.

Joe's passion for math and physics began in eighth grade when he first encountered calculus. "Math isn't just cold formulas; it's a language for understanding the world," he says. He discovered that velocity (v) is written as ds/dt, and acceleration (a) as dv/dt—symbols that reveal the laws of the universe.

At KCS, Joe deepened this interest, excelling in AMC12, UKMT, and the UK Physics Olympiad, while also joining the "Student Leader Physics Exchange." He worked with peers to calculate satellite orbits using Excel and simulate space missions in Kerbal Space Program 2. For Joe, math and physics are more than subjects; they are a way of life, helping him analyze everything from basketball trajectories to volleyball spikes. Each complex problem is an opportunity to use mathematical language to uncover the principles behind every phenomenon.

On his academic journey, Joe received invaluable guidance from Mr. Pan and Thomas. Mr. Pan, his math mentor, provided clear insights that helped him avoid unnecessary detours during competition preparation. Thomas, on the other hand, deeply influenced his approach to physics, teaching him to tackle complex problems with a more systematic mindset. Before every lesson, Thomas would ask, "Joe, are you happy today?" This simple question became a warm ritual for Joe, reminding him that, despite academic challenges, his well-being always comes first. The support of these two teachers not only advanced his knowledge but also strengthened his resolve for further studies.

05、Warmth of the Village:Igniting Dreams Through Running

Joe’s warmth extends beyond campus. During the summer, he volunteered at a rural school in Sichuan, where, despite limited resources, the children's thirst for knowledge deeply moved him.

In the first-grade class, Joe made learning fun with humor and brought candy to reward the students' efforts. The most challenging was the seventh-grade math lesson, where he creatively acted as an accelerating car to help students understand abstract formulas. With each run, he hoped the students could feel the speed and dynamics of math. Afterward, seeing over 20,000 steps on his pedometer, he felt a sense of fulfillment like never before.

When he left the school, the children gave him a stack of handmade cards filled with thanks and well-wishes. Seeing these cards, Joe couldn't hold back his tears. In that moment, he deeply felt that his efforts had been appreciated, and it reinforced his belief in using knowledge to change the lives of others.

05、His future:Carrying the spirit of KCS to greater heights.

Joe's story is a vivid embodiment of the spirit of KCS. Here, every student is encouraged to explore their potential and pursue their dreams. Whether it’s academic breakthroughs, athletic perseverance, or warm community contributions, KCS provides the strongest support for them.

In the interview, Joe summed up his feelings about KCS with three words: "care, challenge, growth." He said, "KCS is a school filled with care, where teachers are always concerned about the growth and development of each student, offering continuous support and encouragement." The care at KCS is reflected in every detail. Whether it's the patient guidance from admissions teacher Ms. Tu, the precise advice from math teacher Mr. Pan, or the systematic thinking training from physics teacher Mr. Thomas, every teacher uses their expertise and passion to help students find their direction. Joe recalled, "Ms. Tu always gave me the warmest encouragement and the most practical advice when I felt lost. She taught me that the college application process isn't just about getting offers, it's a journey of self-discovery."

When talking about the spirit of KCS, Joe said, "For me, the KCS spirit is about passing the torch." He took on the responsibility from the senior before him, carrying a deep affection for KCS and determined to pass on this spirit to the next generation. He hopes that whether it's the volleyball team, the basketball team, or academic exploration, the KCS spirit will continue to thrive. Each student's growth story is like the continuation of this spirit, becoming an important part of the KCS family.

KCS is more than just a school; it’s a place where dreams take root and grow. Here, students are not only nourished with knowledge but also gain strength and growth through care and challenges. Everyone finds their own path and discovers their boundless potential. As Joe said, "KCS gave me the courage and strength to chase my dreams and helped me become a better version of myself."

This journey of growth
