Changsing Junior High School in Changhua County has celebrated a record-breaking year, with 11 students qualifying for the science class at Changhua High School. This achievement marks the school's best performance to date in placing students into the competitive science program.
Huang Shou-yuan only tutored math, but asked questions about physics and chemistry until he understood them. He not only asked until he understood, but also became a small teacher for his classmates, answering any questions they had, and he taught them very enthusiastically.
In the recent junior high school entrance examinations, two students from Changsing achieved a perfect score of 45, with another student earning 44 points. Among the high achievers is Huang Shou-yuan, who juggles his academic pursuits with significant family responsibilities. He wakes up at 6 a.m. daily to help his parents at their breakfast shop, managing tasks like serving customers and cleaning, before heading to school.
Huang Shou-yuan, who is considering attending Changhua Industrial High School, attributes his success to a diligent approach of asking questions until he fully understands the material, particularly in science subjects. His teacher, Chen Jian-miao, noted Huang's helpfulness as a peer tutor for classmates struggling with concepts.
Because the breakfast shop is very busy, the children in the family all help out and share the parents' work. To get 44 points, it relies on asking questions when you don't understand during the week.
School principal Guo Jia-wen highlighted that 32 students scored above 40 points in the exam. Among them, Liao Heng-yi not only excelled academically but also secured first place nationally in the junior high division of the National Geography Knowledge Competition. Lin Yi-le and Huang Yi-jie, who scored 45 and 44 respectively, did not attend cram schools. Wu Jing-ze, who topped the list for Changhua High School's science class, independently studied English online and taught himself programming, maintaining a disciplined routine of early rising to code before school.
Liao Heng-yi not only has good grades, but because of his love for geography knowledge, he won the national first prize gold medal in the junior high group of the National Geography Knowledge Competition.
