A Pride of NHSH

On weekends, she doesn't go to cram school; instead, she worked part-time to help support her family. Now, she has been admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Chiao Tung University. Here is her story:

假日端茶水 繁星上交大

內湖高中池御婷,雖然家境清寒,假日還要到預售屋端茶水打工,分擔家計,但靠著三年來的努力不懈,成績一直保持班上1、2名,昨天繁星計畫放榜,成功考上交通大學電機系

My comments: Consistent effort wins the race. Congratulations!

昨天剛好也是池御婷的生日,獲知錄取消息時,池御婷樂得直說「這真是最棒的生日禮物」。

家住基隆的池御婷,一家四口的生計,僅靠父親在工地打零工支撐,一個月2萬多元收入,扣掉每月1萬5000元的房貸幾乎所剩無幾。

懂事的池御婷,為了要分攤家計,從高一就開始打工,一開始是在豆花、飲料店工作,高二時,假日到預售屋當端茶水小妹,從早上10點到晚上8時賺來的錢全數交給媽媽打理

My comments: A girl with a loving heart.

儘管工作時數長,池御婷卻說,老闆人其實很好,有時生意較清淡時,還會鼓勵她利用時間念書,兩年訓練下來,也讓她練就善用時間的讀書方式

My comments: What we lack is not time, but motivation.

也許是因家計負擔壓力太大,池御婷高一時,胃潰瘍而休學一年。

池御婷表示,這一年可說是她人生的轉捩點,當時父母親在市場擺攤,她在一旁幫忙,一年下來突然很懷念學生時代無憂無慮的生活

My comments: Only when we are deprived of something do we realize its value.

復學後,她非常珍惜念書的時光無論是考試、寫作業,她都覺得非常開心,心情的轉換,讓她高中成績都保持在班上前1、2名

My comments: Attitude is everything. When we love what we are doing, we do better.

內湖高中教務主任蔡明男表示,池御婷因家境不好,也沒有錢補習,靠著學校進度安排及老師的教導,校內成績一直當相當不錯,但學測失常僅拿下65級分,如今透過繁星考上交大電機系,可說是「繁星計畫裡的最大受惠者」。

My comments: A former student told me after he got admitted to National Tsing Hua University one and a half years ago that while his classmates and friends envied him for his earlier admission to college, he hoped that they appreciated how hard he had worked before that glorious moment. Yes, constant effort wins the race.
