It is a genuinely great opportunity for us to gain an amazing experience of life in university campus. As we are to take care of ourselves, we learn to be independent and self-motivated, no longer are we babies taken care by our parents. It has always been a dream of ours to visit such a prestigious university. All students studying in Stanford University are gifted in a variety of aspects, and are willing to pay full effort in achieving outstanding academic performance, as well as social communicating skills. Being selected to join this program and to be immersed in such a studious ambiance, it really motivates us to participate whole-heartedly in all of the upcoming activities and courses. We really lack experience in a lot of new subjects for example, neuroscience and evolutionary biology. Attending these courses allows us to explore the fascinating laws of nature, and makes it a once in a lifetime experience which will benefit us for the rest of our lives.

We started our first memorable day of the Stanford program by having lessons about neuroscience and evolutionary biology. We are honored to be taught by professors that are teaching at Stanford. Although we are only high school students who lack knowledge in both subjects, the professors are all very passionate and patient. We had a blast in the scavenger hunt. Being stunned by the Spanish style architecture of the Stanford campus, it was also fun to know more about the history and origin of this university. In particular, the stained windows and paintings on the walls of the memorial church left us the deepest impression. We look forward to the activities ahead and to take a closer look at San Francisco.
