获奖感言
八4班 范祖哲
我是报名截止的最后一天才决定报名的，感谢各位老师对我的鼓励，让我坚定了参赛信念。备赛期间，怎样追赶已经学了几个月的队友是我迫在眉睫的问题。整个寒假我每天都会拿出一两个小时听课做笔记，认真备考。最终，我在USAP全国个人赛中取得全国第四的成绩，晋级全球赛。
海报比赛中，我们的小组发生了许多令人感动的事情：王同学腿部受伤，需要坐轮椅，但她仍然努力完成她所负责的板块，积极和我们协调沟通；顾同学勤练框架和涂色，为写内容的同学争取了不少时间。我要特别感谢我的小组成员们，也特别感谢学校带我们认识和深入学习USAP，感谢！
七6班 杜乐君
从报名到参赛的这七个月里，我收获良多，也成长了许多。
首先是收获了更广泛的知识和更开阔的视野。一节节生动有趣的USAP课堂、发人深省的Chains小说、极富挑战的科学和数学、引人入胜的艺术和社科等科目，都让我收益满满。参赛时，我还认识了很多极优秀的同龄人，同时也让我更客观地反省自己。
其次是收获了更深厚的友情。无论是我们超默契的Lotus小组，还是一同参赛的其他队友，都为了共同的目标奔山赴海、刻苦努力。
参赛的整个过程中，我印象最深的是海报环节，我们组员精诚合作、心有灵犀，甚至提前五分钟超水平地完成了我们的作品，非常有成就感！
下一场，我们在全球站见！
七6班 李文中
As we boarded the plane, clouds moved to reveal the sun. We bounced over the take-off tracks and zooms into the air. Within an hour, we arrived in Hainan.
From the second we touched the ground, we had begun a journey of knowledge and teamwork. The three days and nights we spent in Hainan marked an unforgettable experience that we would all cherish.
One of the greatest rewards of this competition was the new people we met and the friendships we strengthened. On Gala Night, huge crowds gathered together in the conference hall. We played card-games with other people I never knew before, and watched the fire-works blast different colors and shapes into the night sky.
The Super Quiz is also an event that shines in my memory. The tick-tock of the ten-second countdown; the black squares on our answer sheet; the flag we waved wildly whenever we got a correct answer…They all appear in my memory as though it just happened moments ago. The sound of the music as we made our academic poster still rings in my ears. As I threw down my pen after I finished the last word on it, I felt like I was finally able to breathe. As the team captain, I was responsible for leading the team, though it was hard to deny the support they gave me. None of the awards we won would have been possible if we hadn’t come together.
As well as the competitive events, the opening and closing ceremony were events that all participants would enjoy remembering. Both noisy and quiet, the closing ceremony was filled with the sounds of balloons exploding, people screaming in delight or disappointment; everybody held their breath as the names of participants who had won awards scrolled on the screen, and as the host presented golden cups to the champions of every subject.
Time flew by; as quickly as it had started, out trip of Hainan had come to an end. Looking back at the three splendid days we’d spent there, I still couldn’t shake off the feeling that it was all a brilliant dream—a dream that shall never fade.
七6班 谢乐妍
Looking out at the waves of clouds, and at the flawless blue of the sky, with a heart full of happiness and passion, the journey to Hainan began.
Looking back at the road we have walked long, and at the friends who stand my side, with gratitude and with love, our voyage to Hainan ends.
The opening ceremony was overwhelming, and the closing ceremony was unforgettable.
The poster-making and the super quiz, was a remarkable experience too.
Turning my head back, I see seven months of prep.
Retracing my steps, from beginning to end, I see friends and teachers that stand by my side.
Can thee feel my gratitude,
Can thee feel my happiness.
Can thee feel how merry I am,
when I am with all of you.
If you ask me, what I like the most, I'm afraid the answer is too many to quote.
It could be the countdown, to start the competition, for I can still feel the beat in my heart.
It could be the super quiz, where flags flapped in the air, signaling people's victory.
It could be the poster making, where 45 minutes was just enough, to fit all of our imagination and reasoning.
It could be the fashion show, where the girl in black left an elegant silhouette, to all of the cheering crowds.
It could be the fun activities, where games were played in every place, and merriness exchanged, with every passing gain.
It could be the fireworks, where the sparks what lit up the sky took away people's breath, and left a booming bang behind.
One more month to explore, I'm sure I'll gain a lot more.
七6班 朱泊宁
“No pains, no gains.”感谢USAP给了我一次难得的机会，让我认识到原来那些看似不可企及的事情，自己也可以做得很好。
五个学科，六本厚重书籍，每一页都是让人头脑发胀的英文单词，对此，我退缩过，也崩溃过，但我咬牙坚持了下来，努力填补平日的不足与愚笨。
比赛结束后，我感慨：更上层楼的目标，原来使把劲也是能够着的！但是，我也能感觉到因为是第一次参加项目，我还没能精准把舵，还没有成熟的方法应对，多少留有遗憾。
我相信，进军全球站时，我们一定能把准方向，齐心协力，共创佳绩！
七6班 李奉天
在过去的七个月中，USAP填满了我的生活。寒假时的打卡冲刺，线上考试前的紧张备战，制作海报的分秒必争，都成了我最美好的回忆。当然，更忘不掉的，是超级问答时，组员的团结和凝聚，是一声声答对后的欢呼雀跃，是每个USAPer脸上荡漾的笑容。一页页满满当当的笔记，是一份份沉甸甸的收获，即使没有拿到自己满意的成绩，但我了解了很多以前从未接触过的知识。在接下来的全球赛中，我会更加努力，超越自己！
七6班 胡宸溪
决定参加USAP时，我并不清楚未来会发生什么。正因如此，我的学习状态时好时坏，一边担心拿不到奖，一边担心努力白费。但结果是，我不仅拿到了写作银奖，还当了一次模特，赢得了掌声。回望参赛过程，我觉得我应该更努力，因为奖牌和奖杯一直不遥远。
七6班 晏轶宸
从去年十月初识USAP，到五月海南三天两夜的线下峰会，最令我难忘的当属我们队伍齐心协力完成学术海报的那一刻，当我看到我们队伍的海报从一张白纸变成一幅绘声绘色的艺术品时，我的内心除了有海报完成的喜悦，还有队伍的努力得到回报的骄傲与激动。虽然我和队友在准备学术海报材料的过程中，都遇到过时间和学术上的困难，但我们三人齐心协力解决难题，那种“柳暗花明又一村”的心情真令人心旷神怡。到达海南之后，我们队伍仍然在模拟学术海报的制作，不断完善。我想，真是因为我们队伍之间的默契配合和不懈努力，才能在现场制作出一张精美的海报。正如俗语所说的”No pain, no gain.”
七6班 冯昕珹
七个月的时光悄然飞逝，2023年的USAP比赛早已圆满结束，我收从中获了许多。仍记得寒假里，我们每天都沉浸在知识的海洋中，刻苦地学习研究，最终取得了令人满意的成绩。这过程阐释了一个朴实的道理：一分耕耘，一分收获。
七6班 陈瀚森
4月30日，我们乘坐飞机来到海南。在这里，我们参加了为时3天的USAP海南线下峰会。我在这次活动中收获了很多，我无法忘记，我们组做完海报的那一刻。因为平时模拟中，同样的时间内，我们小组只能做好一半，但比赛中，我们合理分工，不敢消耗半秒时间，最终完成了海报的制作。通过这次活动，我明白了如何与他人合作，非常期待下一次的USAP。
七6班 付泊远
从六本参考书到20多节线上课，从线上考试到线下比赛，USAP比赛无疑是艰难且富有挑战的。遗憾的是，我没有获得奖项。但我觉得，比起这些，过程更重要。看着那一张做得不是十分精美的海报，我仍然感到非常自豪，我也收获了和小组成员的深厚友谊。可惜没有晋级全球站，USAP，我们有缘再见。
七5班 彭硕
As the 2023 year of USAP held its end, the eye-blinding spotlight turned off and everyone gathered their things to leave. It hasn’t been a smooth trip for everybody.
As students filed out of the convention center, I couldn’t hold back the urge to turn around and take another deep look around the significant area. Three days ago, we all walked into this massive center and found ourselves washed in several colors and amazing effects. In the following days, our training for seven months finally made its uses and paid off on the battle field.
Now, remembering all the special times and memories I made with my teammates, I didn’t want to end all of this so quickly. In my opinion, USAP is not only about the knowledge you gain, another important factor is teamwork and friendship. We get to meet and chat with different people from all over the country and that really made my eyesight wider.
The meaning of the “contest” of USAP is more like a camping activity. Even though there were many difficulties on the road and needed a lot of preparation, the fun things always overpowered the tiring tests. This was a very big reason why when I joined USAP I was head over heels.
I believe USAP can upgrade China’s student’s wisdom and their cooperation skills. That is more important than regular “contests”.
七5班 程逸
My trip to Hainan was very meaningful.The USAP competition was located on Ocean Flower Island. It's one of the biggest man-made islands in Asia. When I entered the international venue,the lights shone brightly.At that moment I seemed to see the dazzling brilliance of my future dreams.This experience Let me realize the importance of teamwork and tacit understanding.
七6班 张浩桐
During the USAP activities，10-second quick response question were very exciting. Science is the most difficult subject for me. Before making the academic poster, we encouraged each other. Everyone worked hard for the 45 minutes. Finally we finished the poster one minute before the end. I saw my teammates shed tears. Although we failed to win the prize, we believe that failure is the mother of success. We would not lose confidence in future activities. I learn that nothing is to difficult if you put your heart into it. If we had put more time on this activities, I believe we would have got better grades .
七6班 肖汉宁
I felt honored to be one of the USAPers and I have learned a lot and enjoyed the whole process during this activities. I should say that the whole process of learning USAP is really hard, and thanks for my teacher Miss Liu, she always encourages us to persist in, even if in winter vacation. I remember she asked us to make an everyday plan for studying. And I am proud of myself for finishing reading the novel Chains and learned a lot about American Social science and literature. This activity means a lot for me, not just for achieving the Bronze Prize for National individual Event Award Mathematics.I wish I have a chance to take part in the USAP next year.
七6班 李乐珊
感谢学校在参赛过程中一如既往的鼓励与支持。本着“以赛促学，赛学结合”的目的，我们小组成员利用课余时间，在2022年10至12月参加了学校每周一下午的集训课；寒假刻苦钻研，于2023年2月4日参加了线上综合知识测评，2023年4月30日至5月2日参加了USAP中国站的活动。
回想自己的参赛过程，起初，我是很有压力的，但在老师们的鼓励下，我把这次参赛当成一次历练的机会，努力学习，积极参与各项活动，享受赛程的每个环节。
通过对社会科学、科学、数学、艺术和语言与文学五大学术领域的学习，我收获了许多，不仅开阔了眼界，提升了素养，而且认识了一群可爱的队友。在备赛过程中，我们优势互补、团结互助，收获了友谊、知识和成长。通过这次参赛，我也认识到了自身的不足。未来，我要拓展词汇量、广泛阅读，提升自己的英语水平和综合素养，成为更好的自己。
八4班 华博澄
USAP不仅能让我们针对同一主题在不同维度的探究，而且强调团队合作。从组队到磨合，从准备到战斗，我们吵过，气馁过，但我们始终没有放弃一起赢得荣誉的渴望。尤其是在海花岛的比赛，现场超级问答要求我们必须高效默契。骇客松短短的45分钟凝结了我们一组人几个月来的点滴付出，我们一起获得的每一个奖项，都是对团队精神最好的加冕，会永远留在我们的青春回忆里，激励我们勇敢面对未知的未来。
八4班 赵子睿
几个月的时间感觉一眨眼就过去了，在这次比赛中，我收获满满，不仅学习了丰富的知识，而且增加了比赛的经验。在准备比赛的过程中，我们组员之间难免有摩擦，但是我们都向着同一个的目标努力，最终我们磨合得越来越好，越来越默契。最令我印象深刻的一定是我们做完海报，45分钟倒计时结束铃响的那一刻。当我看到海报如期完成，内心的大石头也落了地。在比赛最后一天的颁奖环节，我坐在台下，心中非常忐忑，害怕这次空手而归。当我看到大屏幕上出现了我们团队的名字，我们马上飞奔上台，内心激动无比，我们几个月的付出终于有了回报！这次比赛的美好回忆会永远镌刻在我的心里。
八5班 王恩天
非常开心能在USAP获奖，拿下“科学”学科中国站总分第一名，并成功晋级USAP全球站。今年是我第二次参加USAP比赛，这个赛事对我而言最大的魅力就在于每年的主题都紧扣各个领域包括技术、科学、社会等的主要热点内容，最大程度地为参赛选手提供跨学科学习和拓展的机会。同时，我要感谢深中南山创新学校以及专业的指导老师带领我们走过这令人难忘的、极其锻炼心智的七个月！
同样感谢优秀无比，熠熠发光的Team 227的队员们，我们并肩战斗，最后为学校夺得中国站团队总分的金牌荣誉！与君同行，与有荣焉！
青春有蛰伏奋进，有恣意昂扬，给梦想时间，用努力践行，希望我们在更好的风景里再次相遇！
七3班 杨子涵
2022年深秋，期待已久的USAP如期而至。通过一段时间的努力，我顺利通过初赛，紧接着就是为期七个月紧张又令人兴奋的集中学习。在这段令人难忘的学习时光里，我遇到了四门从未接触过且极具挑战性的学科——literature、social science、fine art、science。我在全英文的环境里学习全新的知识，很快就遇到了各种困难：生僻的单词、拗口的文意、常规学业和USAP学业的双重压力……这些都成为了我学习道路上的一座座山峰。幸运的是，我有兢兢业业的导师和两个鼎力相助的队友。在他们的无私帮助下，我对英语原版文章的理解越来越深刻，掌握的词汇量越来越多。慢慢地，以前那些看似无法逾越的山峰都被我一一踩在了脚下。
比赛中，经历了USAP的综合知识测评、超级问答、学术海报等紧张的比赛环节，我们团队取得了优异的成绩。通过这次学习，我收获了许多的英语知识，并养成了良好的学习习惯，体验到了“山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”的豁然。在之后的学习中，我一定会拼尽全力，做到“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”！
七4班 顾梁好
The whole seven months of competition made me grow. Among all the competitions, the academic poster impressed me the most. The academic poster not only tested individual ability, but also tested teamwork for everyone. Making an A1 size manual poster within 45 minutes is a huge challenge for any team. During the poster design period, there were some disputes among the team members, but whenever there were difficulties, they would lend a helping hand. USAP gives me knowledge, honor, friendship... The process of the game is bitter, but the final result is sweet. Thanks to the teachers' guidance and help, thanks to the our team members’ hard work for seven months, we did it! The pursuit of excellence, dare to be the first! Deep innovation! Fellow students, come on!
七4班 王菡
荣誉集合了团队的辛劳、智慧以及公众的认可和尊崇。肩负荣誉，我深感荣幸与欣慰。我虽渺小，但也知道自己的重要。本次团队赛中，我们小组成员齐心协力、共同制作海报。世上是没有解决不了的困难，只要有信心，所以我相信自己能把事情做好！在这次协作过程中，我结识了优秀的小伙伴，我将以他们为榜样，砥砺前行！同时，我也要感谢老师的陪伴和包容！
七6班 郭聿闻
回首USAP中国站的征程，太多精彩的场景，太多抱着书本奋斗的夜晚，还有凌晨起床准备第二天赛事的一幕，让我回想起来仍热泪盈眶。记得踏入赛场，我就被盛大的场面所震撼！新颖、充满创意的开幕仪式，以及闭幕式上惊艳的烟花都让人回味无穷。队员们充满智慧的决定和判断，团队之间无私的帮助，直击灵魂的感动画面……这一切都将成为美好的回忆。2023年7月8日全球站，让我们打破边界，突破自我，带着辉煌相聚。
七6班 王子轩
参加USAP比赛和备赛可能涉及到与其他参赛者和教练合作，需要参赛者学会协同解决问题和互相支持。在酒店中，我看到李奉天小组模拟了几遍海报制作的全过程，只在酒店点了一些外卖填肚子，他们认真的态度和团结的精神让我很是佩服。
在这次备赛过程，我们不仅懂得了团队合作的重要性，而且增加了知识储备，提高了解决问题的技能。
愿未来的你们引领新世纪
愿你们内心深处里的热爱之源
成为点亮一生的源源不断的内在能量
我们共同期待
今年6月美国总决赛
深创学子再度载誉而归
