Recently MIS student Alex from Y12 received HOSA nationals CPR & AED gold award and successfully progressed to the international final with an outstanding third place in the country.






HOSA (HOSA-Future Health Professionals, abbreviated as HOSA) is the world's most influential platform for biological and health medical student activities, officially certified by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Department of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE). It aims to cultivate future industry leaders in the health and medical field. HOSA has a history of over 40 years since its establishment and has influenced over 2.5 million students worldwide. The competition is known as the cradle of elite leaders in the U.S. health industry.


HOSA has scientifically designed more than 60 competition projects around different majors and professional fields in the biological and health medical fields. The competition covers various subdivisions of the health and medical industry, including nutrition, psychology, pathology, anatomy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and first aid, providing a platform for students with different interests and expertise to learn and demonstrate relevant academic knowledge.


Every year, students from all over the world compete and advance through multiple rounds to reach the top three of each competition project and advance to the ILC (International Leadership Conference) global finals, with an advancement rate of about 5%.


In this high-quality and high-standard competition, top students from prestigious schools across the country gather together. Alex, who was able to stand out from the competition and achieve this excellent result, could not have done it without his usual study accumulation and his love for biology.


Alex aspires to study biopharmaceuticals and hopes to conquer the difficult problem of cancer in the future, helping humanity achieve a healthy and high-quality life.





Here is the interview of Alex

How do you learn Biology? What’s your trick?

 Everyone has their most optimal way to study, I don’t believe that I’ve mastered effective studying nor am I the best at Biology, but personally I like to make mind-maps to visualize the concepts  learnt, flash cards can be useful for memorization but most importantly don’t be afraid to ask questions and have humility. You will fail plenty of times before you truly succeed at something, we’re only human after all. And finally, be sure to turn in your homework, it doesn’t sound important but it really does help prepare you for exams.

Any advice for MIS students?

I truly think that my cram style of studying style isn’t healthy for anyone to replicate, so I strongly suggest everyone try methods until they find what works for them. I’ve only recently started using mind maps despite being an infamous over-thinker, so be sure to adapt and experiment since notes and textbooks don’t work for everyone. Take care of your health, it is tempting sometimes to pull all nighters and skip leg day for an exam, but the results won’t be nearly as satisfactory as getting a good night’s rest. Eat healthy, sleep and take care of your mental health. Exam stress is real and so are panic attacks, however with the right stress management methods and healthy coping mechanisms these small hurdles won’t stand in the way of your success. Lastly believe in yourself, I used to doubt myself until my biology teacher (Ms.Gloria) started to say she believed in me. From that point onward I stopped giving up on myself and believed that I had the power to change my fate, so now instead of drowning in self-hatred, I strive to live up to my potential and I hope you can too.

喜报


近日,我校学子Y12年级的Alex在杭州举办的HOSA生物与健康未来领袖挑战赛全国总决赛中获得金奖,并以全国第三名的优异成绩成功晋级国际总决赛。






HOSA( HOSA-Future Health Professionals,简称HOSA )是美国教育部及职业教育发展协会健康科学部官方认证的全球最具影响力的生物与健康医疗学生活动平台,旨在培养健康医疗领域的未来行业领袖。HOSA自成立至今已有超过40年历史,累计影响全球超过250万名学生。该竞赛被誉为美国大健康行业领袖精英的摇篮。

HOSA围绕生物与健康医疗领域的不同专业及职业领域,科学地设计了超过60项竞赛项目。其竞赛内容涉及健康医疗行业的各个细分领域,包括营养学、心理学、病理学、解剖学、心肺复苏及急救等,为拥有不同兴趣和专长的学生提供学习和展示相关学术知识的平台;

每年来自世界各地的学子们通过层层选拔,最终以每个竞赛项目的前三名晋级ILC全球总决选( International Leadership Conference),晋级率约为5%。

在这场高质量高水准的比赛中,来自全国各地的名校翘楚云集一堂,Alex同学能在众多优秀学子的竞争中脱颖而出,获此佳绩,离不开他平时的学习积累和对生物学的热爱。

Alex立志学习生物制药,期望未来可以攻克癌症难关,帮助人类获得健康与高质量的生活。





以下为赛后对Alex的访谈以及他在学习方面的建议

你平时学习生物的习惯是什么,有什么提升的窍门

每个人都有自己最好的学习方法,我不认为我掌握了有效的学习方法,也不认为我的生物学得最好,但就我个人而言,我喜欢制作思维导图来形象化学习到的概念,闪卡可以帮助记忆,但最重要的是不要害怕问问题,保持谦虚。在你真正成功之前,你会失败很多次,毕竟我们只是人。最后一定要交作业,这听起来并不重要,但它确实能帮助你为考试做准备。

对曼校学弟学妹们的学习建议是什么?

我真的认为我的填鸭式学习方式不适合于所有人,因此我强烈建议每个人都尝试方法,直到找到适合自己的方法。我最近才开始使用思维导图,尽管我在同学们看来是一个过度思考者,所以一定要适应和实验,因为笔记和教科书并不适用于每个人。照顾好你的健康,有时候为了考试而通宵熬夜是很诱人的,但结果远不如晚上好好休息那么令人满意。吃得健康,睡得好,照顾好自己的心理健康。考试压力和恐慌症都是真实存在的,但是只要有正确的压力管理方法和健康的应对机制,这些小障碍就不会阻碍你的成功。最后,相信自己,我曾经怀疑自己,直到我的生物老师(Ms。Gloria)开始说她相信我。从那时起我不再自暴自弃,相信自己有能力改变命运,所以现在充满自信,努力发挥自己的潜力,我希望你也可以。



曼校是一所纯正的英式寄宿制学校,秉承苏格兰母校百年优良传统,致力于为学生提供全人教育。学校注重培养学生的学术素养和全面素质,鼓励和支持学生参与各种学术竞赛,提高学术水平。通过这样的教育模式,曼校为学生的未来打下了坚实的基础,使其具备了成功的必要素质和能力。相信在曼校的培养下,学生们将会成为一批具有卓越品质和国际视野的领袖人才,为世界的发展和进步做出积极的贡献。
