Congratulations to Emily Anderson (G12) who received and accepted an admission offer from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. Emily has a 4.0 unweighted GPA, scored 36 on the ACT (out of 36 possible), and was awarded BYU’s most prestigious scholarship, the Russell M. Nelson Presidential Scholarship. The scholarship provides Emily with a four-year, full tuition-and-a-half, scholarship. Congratulations, Emily!

恭喜深圳瑞得福学校12年级的美籍学生——Emily Anderson同学收到并接受了犹他州普罗沃市的杨百翰大学（BYU）的录取通知。进入杨百翰大学学习是Anderson家族的传统和首选项。Emily的未加权GPA（平均绩点）是4.0，在ACT（美国大学入学考试）上得分为36(36分制），并获得了杨百翰大学最负盛名的奖学金——罗素·M·纳尔逊会长奖学金。该奖学金为Emily提供了为期四年的全额学费减免，外加给予每年半额书本费、生活费津贴。祝贺Emily！

Incidentally, BYU’s top academic scholarship is named for Russell M. Nelson, who speaks Mandarin and has been recognized as an “Old Friend of China” for his work to introduce open-heart surgery to China through Shandong University School of Medicine in Jinan, Shandong, China, where he taught open-heart surgery and performed operations in the 1980s.

顺便说一句，杨百翰大学的最高学术奖学金以罗素·M·纳尔逊（Russell M. Nelson）来命名的。纳尔逊先生能讲中文，还被公认为“中国的老朋友”，因为他曾通过济南的山东大学医学院向中国引进了心脏直视手术。这是上世纪80年代的事情了，他曾在这里亲自主刀并且向学生传授了心脏直视手术。

Heritage Halls，Emily大学期间将会居住于此

At present, Emily wants to major in Mathematics Education, and earn a minor in Chinese language or Asian Studies. She says, “Professionally, a major in math education will enable me to work anywhere in the world. I want to become an excellent math teacher who helps students feel the satisfaction and joy that comes from solving difficult problems. When I moved to China, I was blessed to meet teachers who planted a love of math in me. RDF’s math program was fast-paced and challenging, but as I wrestled with math concepts and eventually mastered them, I was able to help my friends and siblings with their math. I realized that I not only love math, but I also enjoy helping others understand math. I will teach my students that one formula for success in math is persistence in asking questions and diligence in practice.” Congratulations, and best wishes, Emily!

目前，Emily想要主修数学教育专业，辅修中文或亚洲研究。她说：“专业上，数学教育专业将使我能够去到世界任何地方工作。我想成为一名优秀的数学老师，这样我也可以帮助学生从解决难题中获得满足感和喜悦感。当我刚来中国的时候，我很幸运认识那些让我热爱上了数学的老师。深圳瑞得福学校的数学课程节奏快且富有挑战性，但是当我竭尽全力学习数学的概念，并最终掌握它们时，我就能够帮助我的朋友和兄弟姐妹学习数学了。我意识到自己不仅爱数学，而且还享受帮助他人理解数学的过程。我会告诉我的学生，学好数学的一个秘诀就是坚持问问题和在实践中勤奋学习。” 再次恭喜Emily，祝愿她以后的学业一切顺利！
