OBS Chapter 118 Freshman Representative
Chapter 118 Freshman Representative
Teacher Fang led Yuan Bao to the office, sat down gently at the desk, picked up the phone, and quickly dialed the principal's office number.
“Hello, Principal, I am Fang Mengyun, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 1.”
There is a student in my class named Yuan Baoya. She was the top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination this year. She is very independent in her studies and works very hard.
She submitted an application to be a day student, hoping to complete her high school studies using her own unique self-study methods during her spare time. She also hopes to talk to you in person about her plans. When would be a convenient time for you to meet with her?" Teacher Fang explained the situation to the principal earnestly and clearly.
After a moment's thought, the principal said on the other end of the phone, "Hmm, I remember this student; she's indeed very outstanding. How about this, have her come to my office at three o'clock this afternoon."
Teacher Fang quickly thanked her, and after hanging up the phone, she turned to Yuan Bao with a smile and said, "Yuan Bao, the principal agreed to see you at three o'clock this afternoon. You'd better get ready."
Yuan Bao smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Fang. I will definitely prepare well."
Back in the classroom, Yuan Bao spent the entire morning carefully organizing his learning ideas, writing down his self-study progress, future plans, and reasons for choosing to commute in detail in his notebook, and preparing what he would say when he met the principal.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, casting a golden glow on the ground.
Teacher Fang and Yuan Bao walked side by side down the corridor toward the principal's office.
Worried about Yuan Bao's nervousness, Teacher Fang gently patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile, "Yuan Bao, don't be nervous. Just tell the principal what's on your mind. The principal is a very kind person."
Yuan Bao nodded and gave Teacher Fang a grateful smile: "Okay, I understand, teacher."
Upon arriving at the principal's office, Teacher Fang gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in!" came the principal's gentle voice from inside the room.
Teacher Fang pushed open the door and walked into the office first, followed closely by Yuan Bao.
In the office, the principal was standing by the window. Hearing the noise, he turned around with a friendly smile on his face.
"Teacher Fang, student Yuan Baoya, please have a seat," the principal greeted them warmly.
Yuan Bao and Teacher Fang sat down on the sofa. Yuan Bao leaned forward slightly, placing his hands on his knees, looking somewhat reserved.
"Yuan Baoya, I heard from Teacher Fang that you have your own unique ideas about learning. Is that why you came to talk to me today?" The principal looked at Yuan Baoya with gentle eyes, his gaze full of encouragement.
Yuan Bao mustered his courage, raised his head, and said clearly, "Hello, Principal. I have already completed all the high school Chinese courses through self-study. I want to finish all the high school courses at my own pace, using my spare time, and plan to take the college entrance examination in two years, with the goal of getting into a university in Beijing."
"So I applied to be a day student, hoping to have more time to devote to self-study." As he spoke, Yuan Bao took out his carefully prepared study plan and time management chart from his schoolbag and handed it to the principal.
The principal took it and began to carefully peruse it, nodding slightly from time to time.
The principal then inquired about some details regarding the implementation of the learning plan, such as how to balance study time for different subjects and how to solve problems when encountering difficulties.
Yuan Bao answered each question with confidence.
During the conversation, Ms. Fang also added that she highly praised Yuan Bao's performance in class.
After listening to Yuan Bao's explanation and Teacher Fang's supplement, the principal leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Yuan Bao, your goal is clear and your study plan is very feasible. The school will support you."
However, self-study is not easy, and commuting to school requires stronger self-discipline. If you encounter any difficulties, please communicate with your teachers and the school promptly; we will do our best to help you.
"Teacher Fang, Yuan Baoya's situation is quite special. You must coordinate her assessment and student status matters."
If Yuan Baoya is able to meet the requirements to take the college entrance examination in two years, then all preparations must be started in advance.
Her personal information, study materials, and other details must be reported promptly and accurately to ensure her successful inclusion in the college entrance examination list; absolutely no errors can be tolerated.
The principal looked serious, his eyes filled with the importance he placed on the matter. He leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on his desk, looked directly at Teacher Fang, and gave her his instructions, word by word.
Teacher Fang sat up straight, her expression serious and firm, and immediately replied, "Principal, please rest assured, I will do my best to coordinate all aspects of the work."
I will communicate closely with all subject teachers and develop a specific assessment plan for Yuan Baoya based on her learning progress to ensure that her learning outcomes can be accurately evaluated.
Regarding her student status, I will maintain close contact with the student status management department, pay close attention to policy developments, and ensure that her student status information is complete and accurate.
Once it's confirmed that she can take the college entrance exam, I will start preparing the materials six months in advance, repeatedly checking them to ensure timely and accurate submission, and absolutely not delay Yuan Baoya's college entrance exam arrangements.
With the support of the school leaders and teachers, Yuan Bao was so excited that he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to the principal: "Thank you, Principal, thank you for the school's support. I will definitely work hard!"
After discussing Yuan Bao's study plan, the principal leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze fixed on the distance through the window, as if deep in thought.
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, he sat up straight, a gentle smile appearing on his face. His gaze fell on Yuan Bao, his eyes filled with appreciation and anticipation.
"Yuan Baoya," the principal's voice was full of warmth, "our school has a big event coming up. We're about to have our triennial arts festival, and this year it's right before the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, which is especially meaningful. All the teachers and students are looking forward to it."
After much thought, I've decided that you, as the representative of the new students, are the most suitable person to speak at the performance.
You have outstanding academic performance and many ideas among the freshmen; you will surely embody the spirit of our first-year high school students.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Bao's eyes, clearly not expecting the topic to suddenly shift to a speech at the arts and culture performance.
She subconsciously looked at Teacher Fang beside her, who smiled and nodded at her, giving her an encouraging look.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath to calm his nerves and said, "Principal, thank you for your trust, but this is a big challenge for me, and I'm worried that I won't do well."
The principal waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I believe in your abilities. This speech is a great opportunity for the whole school to get to know you, and it will also allow you to develop yourself."
You can talk about your expectations for high school life, your aspirations for the future, and your unique learning experiences; it will definitely inspire many students.
Teacher Fang added from the side, "Yuan Baoya, just focus on your preparation. I'll help you with any questions. I can work with you to refine your speech and strive to make it the best it can be."
Hearing this, Yuan Bao felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Principal, Teacher Fang, thank you. In that case, I will definitely do my best to live up to your expectations."
