Have you ever imagined taking the SAT or ACT in middle school? Duke TIP(Talent identification Program) gives younger students an opportunity to take these standardized tests, which are used for college admissions(录取).
Since 1979, Duke University has supported Duke TIP, an organization that encourages academic(学业的) achievement. In addition to organizing the exams for excellent students, the program also offers summer enrichment programs, online courses, and need-based help, among other resources.
On May 22, Duke TIP held its Grand Recognition Ceremony at the university in Durham, North Carolina. The event celebrated the achievements of this year’s seventh graders who scored in the highest 4 percent.
Top seventh graders are invited to take part in Summer Studies, where they can take different kinds of courses such as aerospace engineering to web development. While the 7th Grade Talent Search is the highlight of the program, students from grades 4 through 10 are allowed to take part in all kinds of Duke TIP programs.
Duke TIP’s Executive Director, Shawna Young, took part in the program when she was growing up. “I remember always being told I was smart and one day getting that letter in the mail from Duke, this university that was so well known,” she said. “I remember taking the SAT in seventh grade, walking in, and feeling that everybody was bigger than me. Not knowing how to answer all the questions, just trying to do my best. I left that experience more confident. It made me believe that it was OK to be myself.”
Young added that one of the best parts of Duke TIP is the creation of a group of like-minded students.
I was among the 500 seventh graders who were honored at this year’s ceremony, where three excellent Duke TIP alumni(校友) who have made great achievements in their own fields were also recognized. Who knows where the future will lead this year’s stars.
