1 . We work with Cambridge County Council’s Participation Team to create opportunities for young people to visit the University and learn more about it. The following events are scheduled for the 2019/2020 academic year.
Super Star workshops
Twelve engaging workshops are planned for young people aged 7 to 11. These half-day visits will be held throughout the year, at times when young people are not at school. If participants complete 8 of the 12 workshops, they will be awarded the nationally recognized Super Star Crest Award.
Please note, workshops will only run if we have a sufficient number of attendees (usually around 3+ participants).

2 . There are two days that set you on your path in life: the day you’re born, and the day you realize why you were born.
Growing up south of Chicago in Harvey, Illinois, most people just had their heads down trying to make it from point A to point B. I was the same way, just going with the flow. I played basketball in high school because I was good at it and because other people thought I should until I discovered my talent.
I give up basketball and started doing speeches. It wasn’t a popular decision but my grandfather told me to do what made me happy. I fell in love with comedy and performing. And when I discovered the passion, I realized why I was born.
I knew I had something to offer —I knew that not only am I powerful, but I can make a difference.
I realized a long time ago that my dream is not to be famous or rich. My talent is to entertain. But it’s more than that. I have the chance to reach people, to brighten days, to bring laughter and positive energy into lives and inspire. And I am grateful forit.
Acting putting myself out there and having doors closed on me time and time again has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned to trust what I have to offer the world over momentary doubt. I’ve learned to put my faith over my feelings. And I've grown a tough skin. More importantly, I have learned there is a long way towards our goals and that when we put our talents and passion to work, we determine our value.
Like a lot of places across the country, there’s poverty, crime, violence and unemployment in Harvey. And growing up there, a lot of people have tragically low expectations for life. But I know that with the right opportunity and with help along the way, everyone can find their passion and go after it. My life is proof.

As the saying goes, chance favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.
I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another chance of trying out arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team.
From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.

Since I was a kid, I've considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher so much. Then, when I was in the five grade, i wanted to be a fireman. When I studied chemistry in high school, I decide to be a doctor. I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. I really wanted to help people in need

Forget a pen and paper! This newfashioned school relies on iPads, touch screens, projectors and even electronic locker keys. The School of the Future's main goal is to equip students with the most knowledge in the technology field. While it struggled back when it opened in 2006, it is now one of the most indemand schools.
Hamburger University
No, this school isn't about perfecting the hamburger. Actually, it sort of is! The McDonald's training facility is where restaurant managers go to learn the craft (手艺). From making a hamburger to dealing with complaining customers, it takes a lot to handle the running of Micky D's. Also, imagine having Hamburger University on your resume (简历). Now that would make you stand out from the crowd!
Reallife Clown (小丑) College
While movies and television shows love to make fun of kids and adults alike running off to join clown college or the circus but it turns out that it isn't made up. The Ringling Brothers set up a number of courses and schools around the United States to teach willing students the art of clowning around. It's a tough job，right? Imagine wearing a bright red nose while kids scream at you for a balloon animal.
Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School
Set up in the 1930s, this famous institution aims to produce the very best Santas. Potential Santas will learn how to interact with children and of course, how to laugh like the real deal. While you won't take the course unless you plan on being a professional Santa, it surely would be fun to dress up for a day!
