The lovely scenery of the Pagoad and the lake in Beida

I’ve been accepted into the school of my dreams, a big big dream that started all the way since the end of JC year 1, when I arrived in the beautiful city (albeit rather smoggish) of Beijing for me LEP immersion.
Beida has its roots in the late Qing dynasty, but eventually grew to become the greatest academic institution in all of China, thanks to its spirit of 兼容并包, accomodating all sorts of academia and vitalising the school with a spirit of enquiry and learning.
Every year, I believe hundreds of thousands of the most elite students across the country face heavy pressures from their high school exams, just so that they may enter this prestigious University. I am privileged, honoured and elated to join the family, where the academia are well-versed in both content and spirit, while my peers are no less than the cream of the crop. Perhaps I don’t deserve it, but now that I’ve come this far, regardless of the path ahead of it, good or bad, inspiring or disappointing, I will grit my teeth and hold on, enjoy and indulge myself in every way, only to seek enlightenment on this path of learning.
I’m looking forward to it.
