(By Dan Zeng) On Sunday, January 6, a seminar on how to be a productive student took place at St. Louis Modern Chinese School (SLMCS). The speakers were alumni of the school: Nina Luo, Haohang Xu, Chi Zeng, Jason Zhang, and Ken Zheng. High school students Yang Liu and Dan Zeng hosted the event. Each of the speakers discussed a topic of their own and then responded to questions from the audience. Nina Luo is senior at Marquette High School. She has been admitted to Harvard University. Nina related lessons she learned during the college application process to the Chinese community. She emphasized the importance of starting on the process early on during junior year of high school.Haohang Xu is a senior at Ladue High School. She has been admitted to MIT. Haohang also discussed the college application process. She noted that parents must be supportive during the process because students must deal with a lot of pressure. Parents must prevent their children from missing key deadlines, but must avoid being overly oppressive. Chi Zeng is a junior at Harvard University studying computer science. He stated that students should study in a silent setting. He stressed that students should avoid their laptops while studying to avoid distractions from social media.Jason Zhang is a sophomore at Harvard University studying economics and East Asian studies. He talked about his experiences with extracurricular activities. According to Jason, students should try out many activities early on to find out what interests them. Gradually, students should commit to one or two of them because quality trumps quantity. Ken Zheng is a junior at Washington University studying computer science on a pre-medical track. Ken emphasized that students should volunteer in the community in ways that they feel passionate about. As an example, Ken explained how he organized Making Music Matters, an organization that brings music programs to inner city schools.After the seminar, the speakers decided to organize an alumni association for the Chinese school. To jumpstart the association and thank the school for a fulfilling experience, they donated 240 markers to SLMCS. We wish these young students the best as they continue to contribute to the community. St. Louis Modern Chinese School provides a nurturing avenue for students of all ages and ethnic backgrounds to learn Chinese language and share Chinese culture. It currently has over six hundred students enrolled, making it one of the largest Chinese language schools in the United States.
