★普三甲 苗睿友
❚ 中國醫藥大學 醫學檢驗生物技術學系
「每當想放棄時，我就會想起國三那晚的自己，因為會考失利在被窩裡哭泣的自己。」頂著從小一路念明星學校的光環，從育仁國小、衛道國中部畢業的苗睿友人生首次重擊來得猛烈，這份不甘讓他發誓要用高中三年奮力追回，進入頂尖大學，而他真的做到了！
學校的夜間輔導、補習輪番上陣，升高三的暑假，他每天泡在圖書館或自習室，拚命刷題寫考卷，還曾因為眼壓過高去看醫生。但學測倒數的那幾天，他反而淡然，因為明白自己已經全力以赴，剩下只能聽天由命。同時，他發現他不再是那個脆弱的國三生，而是能承擔壓力、為目標奮戰到底的人。
壓力來了怎麼辦？苗睿友的解法是游泳、看電影，以及在熱音社彈吉他。這些是他的情緒出口，讓他能夠重新整頓心情再出發。而說到感謝的老師，他第一個想到國文老師，總能讓文言文變成有趣又深刻的故事。學測國文科成為苗睿友準備起來最輕鬆，並且成功拿到頂標的科目。此外，葳格的ESL課程、用心教學的外師，使苗睿友形容「感覺像是回到小學時期，拾回英文學習的快樂。」
未來，苗睿友將目標放在申請中國醫的碩博士五年一貫，爭取出國當交換學生的機會，並朝著「醫學鑑識」的夢想邁進。他相信「只有持續跳脫舒適圈，才有可能迎來真正的成長與成功。」
China Medical University Department of Medical Laboratory Science and Biotechnology｜ Mira Miao
“Whenever I feel like giving up, I think back to that night in 9th grade, when I cried under the covers after my disappointing scores in the high school entrance exam.” Raised in prestigious schools all the way — from Yuren Elementary to the junior high division of Weidao — Mira Miao faced the first major setback of her life, and it hit hard. The bitterness of that moment drove her to promise herself she would give her all over the next three years to earn a place at a top university — and she really did it!
With the school’s night classes and cram school classes alternating nonstop, Mira spent the summer before 12th grade immersed in her studies, often staying late at the library or in study rooms, relentlessly solving practice problems and exams. She even had to see a doctor due to high intraocular pressure from overstudying. Yet, in the final days leading up to the university entrance exam, she felt surprisingly calm — because she knew she had already given her all, and the rest was up to fate. She also realized she was no longer that fragile 9th grader but someone who could withstand pressure and fight to the end for her goals.
How does she handle stress? Mira’s coping methods are swimming, watching movies, and playing guitar in the pop music club. These were her emotional outlets, helping her reset and start afresh. When asked about teachers she is grateful for, the first person who comes to mind is her Chinese teacher, who could always turn classical texts into fascinating and profound stories. Chinese became the subject Mira found easiest to prepare for, and she earned a top-tier score on the exam. In addition, the ESL courses at Wagor and the dedicated foreign teachers made Mira feel “like I was back in elementary school, rediscovering the joy of learning English.”
Looking ahead, Mira plans to apply for the five-year integrated master’s and doctoral program at China Medical University, aiming for the opportunity to study abroad as an exchange student and move toward her dream of working in medical forensics. She firmly believes that “only by continuously stepping out of your comfort zone can you achieve true growth and success.”
★普三甲 王羽瑄
❚ 中山醫學大學 物理治療學系
王羽瑄的高中歷程充滿「主動出擊」與「探索自我」的痕跡。起初，他對未來並沒有明確方向，選擇醫療相關科系也並非一開始就設定好的志向。然而，隨著學習的推進，他逐漸梳理出自己對專業技術的掌握與應用充滿興趣，期望未來能透過一技之長幫助他人、發揮影響力，最終將目標鎖定中山醫學大學物理治療學系。
值得一提的是，王羽瑄在高二時並非自然組，轉組的決定連帶著學習策略與心態的全面調整。為了補足自然科的知識，他投入大量時間自學與複習，一步步累積人體結構與醫學概念，也在過程中磨練出堅持到底的態度。
在學習歷程中，王羽瑄特別提到探究與實作課程中的「模擬公聽會」。這門課鼓勵學生針對公共議題進行資料蒐集、立場辯論與公開發表。在老師們的引導下，他學會了邏輯思考、有效分工，也更加熟悉在群體中表達觀點。更重要的是，這段經驗幫助她認知到自己反而更適合從事實務導向、成果穩定且具體可見的職涯路線。這段啟發，讓他對未來方向更加明確。
王羽瑄也以自身經驗勉勵學弟妹，「不要害怕摸索與改變，也不要害怕自己走得比別人慢。」比起一開始就走在「對」的路上，更重要的是你是勇於嘗試、修正與成長。即使過程中會遇到挫折，對未來感到焦慮，但只要願意正視自己的不足與迷惘，那些經驗最終都會成為你很有價值的資產。
Chung Shan Medical University Department of Physical Therapy｜Linda Wang
Linda Wang’s high school journey was shaped by a spirit of initiative and self-discovery. At first, she didn’t have a clear vision for her future, and choosing a medical-related field wasn’t something she had planned from the outset. However, as her studies progressed, she gradually developed a passion for mastering and applying technical skills. She hoped to one day use those abilities to help others and make a positive impact. That goal ultimately led her to set her sights on the Department of Physical Therapy at Chung Shan Medical University.
Remarkably, Linda wasn’t originally in the science track during her sophomore year of high school. Her decision to switch tracks required a complete shift in both her learning strategies and mindset. To catch up on science subjects, she dedicated a great deal of time to self-study and review. Step by step, she built a solid foundation in human anatomy and medical concepts—developing perseverance and determination along the way.
One experience that stood out for her was a “simulated public hearing” in a research and hands-on course. In this project, students were encouraged to research public issues, debate differing viewpoints, and present their findings. Guided by her teachers, Linda learned how to think logically, collaborate effectively, and express her views clearly in group settings. More importantly, this experience helped her realize that she thrives in practical, results-driven environments—where her work has visible and concrete outcomes. That realization gave her greater clarity about her future path.
Drawing from her own experience, Linda offers some advice to younger students: “Don’t be afraid to explore or change direction, and don’t worry if you move at a slower pace than others. What matters most isn’t starting on the ‘right’ path—it’s having the courage to try, to adjust, and to grow. Even if the journey includes setbacks or uncertainty about the future, as long as you're willing to face your doubts and shortcomings, those experiences will ultimately become valuable assets.
