Live Worldwise<br />

To celebrate Dulwich <strong>College</strong> Beijing’s 15 th anniversary,<br />

our students came up with the slogan No Aspiration<br />

too Big, No Inspiration too Small to summarise their<br />

DCB learning journey and its impact on their stepping into<br />

adulthood.<br />

Let's Meet Again in 15 Years!<br />

When asked to fast forward and imagine their life<br />

15 years from now, the students we met all confidently<br />

envisioned a happy and balanced life with a professional<br />

career they enjoy, and safe and healthy family and<br />

friends, with the underlying and natural goal to positively<br />

impact others as they did within the DCB community. It<br />

was striking to observe the same calm and composed<br />

confidence in these students of different ages and<br />

personalities, a testament to the commitment of DCB to<br />

equip students with the necessary knowledge and life skills<br />

to face the challenges of tomorrow and Live Worldwise.<br />

“In 15 years, I hope to<br />

become a designer of<br />

sorts or an architect. That<br />

may change, but whatever I<br />

choose to pursue, I hope I can make<br />

a positive impact.”<br />

Mink L – Year 13<br />

“My goal in 15 years is<br />

to balance my work life<br />

and my home life. I'm very<br />

interested in social sciences,<br />

so I hope to work in research on<br />

sociology or anthropology and share<br />

this knowledge with others. I hope<br />

to explore my personal interests<br />

further, discover new hobbies, and<br />

really, embrace adulthood.”<br />

“In 15 years, I hope I'll<br />

be working in a field I<br />

really enjoy, something that<br />

I’ve studied for my entire life,<br />

not something mundane and boring.<br />

I hope to live comfortably, but the<br />

most important thing with anything I<br />

do in life is to make sure I enjoy it.”<br />

Jeffrey W – Year 12<br />

Yi Xin L – Year 13<br />

“I see myself as a<br />

scientist in 15 years<br />

because science is my<br />

favourite subject and I find it<br />

interesting.”<br />

Thomas M – Year 7<br />

“I see myself in a place<br />

where I'm happy and<br />

doing something I'm really<br />

passionate about, perhaps in<br />

the field of sciences. Hopefully all my<br />

friends and family will be all healthy<br />

and safe by then.”<br />

Seung Yon K – Year 12<br />
