At Hiba Academy Nantong, we hope that students will not only achieve academic success but are also encouraged to cultivate a passion for lifelong learning, to innovate proactively, and to face challenges head-on.
Not long ago, David, a Grade 6 pupil at our school, traveled to Chicago in the United States to participate in the CREATE US OPEN ROBOTICS CHAMPIONSHIP. He competed fiercely against teams from 42 countries and, along with his team partners, won four awards: 1.) CREATE JR TECHNICAL TOURNAMENT CHAMPION 2.) CREATE ROBOTICS TOURNAMENT CHAMPION 3.) CREATIVE WARM UP TOURNAMENT CHAMPION 4.) CREATE ROBOTICS MEGA ALLIANCE CHAMPION. He won CREATE ROBOTICS US OPEN TOURNAMENT JR individual champion. We invited him and his mother to share their experience with us.
Persevering with his passion and continuously challenging himself is the secret to David's success. From the age of 5, he started engaging with robots and programming and has consistently trained every week; he began participating in various domestic and international competitions since he was 8, accumulating valuable experience. To qualify for the CREATE US OPEN ROBOTICS CHAMPIONSHIP, David had to surpass many hurdles, winning three high-quality domestic awards, which reflects the hard work and sweat involved.
The higher the level of the competition, the stronger the opponents he faced. On an international stage like the CREATE US OPEN ROBOTICS CHAMPIONSHIP, David realized that the competition was not only about technical skills but also a psychological test. At Hiba Academy Nantong, his teachers helped him develop a stable emotional core and the ability to deal with pressure, allowing him to swiftly adjust his state and find solutions to problems. His calmness and resilience, beyond his peers', were also crucial factors in his winning.
David's story is one of passion, continuous learning, and overcoming challenges. His actions prove that no matter the field, as long as we have a dream in our heart, maintain perseverance, and do not fear challenges, we can undoubtedly leave our mark on the path to pursuing our dreams. We wish David continuous progress on the path he has chosen, success, and the cultivation of a unique self.
