SHSID Experience

Maya Chen

February 27, 2015

Class of 2017

Specialty: Badminton

A typical SHSID school day starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m., filled with eight periods. Not for Maya, though. Motivated by her enthusiasm for badminton and her dream to become a professional badminton player, she has been arranged to attend the study for half a day and to participate in the training of varsity team with students from the local division in the afternoon. She cherishes this privilege, as she was the first one to enjoy this special arrangement. She doesn’t miss any of the in-class information, and in the meanwhile, she is still able to concentrate on her professional training. As a registered player in the USA Badminton Federation (the USAB), she is likely to represent America in the Olympic Games one day.
