Carlson Scholar·21 — CHEMBA20班 徐婷玉Barbara
加入CHEMBA的旅程是美好的！当我独自一人在广州时，CHEMBA成为了我的精神压舱物和最重要的目标。在这里，教授和老师们分享了渊博的知识，启迪了我们的思想，也激发了我们对生活的进一步探讨。同时，我非常感谢CHEMBA20 的同学，我不仅收获了友情，还从他们身上了解到了我自身的局限。
与同类EMBA教育不同，CHEMBA具有系统的教学，认真严谨的学术态度。凡此种种，在中国目前过度商业化和非标准化的商学院教育大潮中，CHEMBA 成为了一股清流。
我很自豪我克服了这个过程中的所有困难，达到了学习目标和职业目标，我做到了！
The journey of joining CHEMBA is fantastic and wonderful! In the past two years I experienced a big change of moving from Beijing to Guangzhou due to work reason. When I am in Guangzhou alone, away from my family and familiar environment, CHEMBA became the spirit ballast and the most important objective of mine.
Great thanks to Carlson School, UMN & Lingnan College, Sun Yat-sen University. Great thanks to all the professors and teachers who shared their profound knowledge, enlightened our minds, brushed up our envisions about business world and inspired deeper and more philosophical about life. Each class is a surprise, and the organization of program is amazing, I tell Susie, who perfectly integrates the roles of Executive Director of CHEMBA, friend, and confidant.
I appreciate my colleagues of CHEMBA 20 a lot, they are all smart, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, houmous that I do love them from the bottom of my heart. They are much more excellent than me in many ways, learning from them I know my limitation, weakness, and that there is a long way to go for excellence, so that I have to work harder to catch their paces. The only regret is that we have less offline communications because of Covid-19, but we cherish each time together and hope to keep long-term friendship.
In this process of CHEMBA, I have a feeling that each course emerges at the right time when I need them, very practical, well-directed and result oriented. And I try to implement what I learn from the class to the work I am doing; the effect is perfect! Different from similar EMBA education, CHEMBA has systematic teaching, serious and rigorous academic attitude (suffering while enjoying make us stronger and closer), teaching benefits teachers as well as students, and humble tuition with very very high-cost performance. All these make CHEMBA a fresh stream among the over-commercialized and nonstandard business school education in China.
I am proud that I overcome all the difficulties in the process and reach my learning goal as well as my career objective. I became the marketing champion in my field for two consecutive years and lead a united marketing team. From 0 to 1, from a familiar to unfamiliar industry, I did it!
I am also proud to be a member of CHEMBA20, which give me clear aim for next step: continue to learn, engage in management skills, and develop women-leadership.
Here are some tips to have a scholar yellow cord:
1 Set the scholar cord as your goal.
First, set the scholar cord as your goal.
Goal-oriented person is more likely to reach his or her goal than those who do not have a clear aim. There are several dimensions to measure your success in CHEMBA, winning the yellow cord does not mean you do better than your colleagues, I prefer taking it as a self-challenge process.
把Carlson Scholar作为学习目标并以此为导向
有目标导向的人通常比没有明确目的的人更有可能实现自己的目标。在CHEMBA有几个维度可以衡量你是否成功，获得卡尔森学术荣誉是其中一项，但赢得此项殊荣也并不意味着你比你的同学做得更好，我更喜欢把它看作是一个自我挑战的过程。
2 Do better at what you're good at
Second, do better at what you're good at and do as well as you can at what you'are not good at.
It is quite normal that you find few courses are difficult to handle. As the programm of CHEMBA is featured by stringent teaching and high standards, it will take a while for you to adapt to its intensity and rhythm. Just enjoy the study process and follow the instructions of teachers, your progress will be remarkable after taking these challenges one by one.
尽量把自己擅长的事做好，也尽自己能力完成自己不擅长的部分
CHEMBA的课程教学严谨、标准高，有一些课程难以应付是很正常的事情。你需要一段时间来适应它的强度和节奏。享受学习的过程，跟随着老师的指引，在完成一个接一个的学习挑战后，你的进步会非常显著。
3 Communicate with professors
Third, take every chance to communicate with professors.
Class participation will account for some proportion in your scores. Try to be active and responsive to teachers' questions in the class, but if you are shy and introverted, you can try different ways, for example mail your questions to professors so that you have more chance to learn from these experts, or request for clarifications in canvas discuss board, etc.
与教授保持一定的沟通
课堂参与会在你的分数中占有一定的比例。要尝试在课堂上积极主动地回答老师的问题，但如果你害羞、内向，也可以尝试不同的方式，例如将你的问题发邮件给教授，这样你就有更多的机会可以向这些专家学习，或者可以在canvas讨论板中留言请求解答等。
4 Find and play teamwork your role
Four, find and play your role in the teamwork.
Whatever you are a leader or a follower, do listen carefully to your group members, participate in the discussion as much as you can, share your points and experiences, and contribute your part with high quality. I personally regard that learning from the group members is the most interesting and rewarding part in CHEMBA, it is not only broadening your visions, deepening your thoughts, but also reflecting on your grades.
积极参与团队活动并向组员学习，找到并发挥自己在团队中的作用
无论你在团队里是领导者还是追随者，都一定要认真听取小组成员的意见，尽可能地参与讨论，分享自己的观点和经验，并高质量地贡献一份力量。我个人认为向小组成员学习是CHEMBA最有趣和收获最多的部分，它不仅可以开阔你的视野，加深你的思想，也能提高学习成绩。
