Meet Nikita Marchenko, CIC Class of 2024 graduate. He believes that life is like a game, and the results will be satisfactory only if you enjoy every stage of it. Thanks to the amazing staff and welcoming atmosphere, CIC has become one of the stages he has enjoyed immensely.
Seeking Challenges Is A Prerequisite for Improvement
Nikita: “My biggest desire in life is to be surrounded by a proactive and enriching community. I’ve made an effort to surround myself with people who stimulate my growth, and in return, I share my expertise and synergy with them.
At CIC, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many great people from different cultures, explore various places, and participate in numerous events.
Challenging yourself academically and outside the classroom is one of the major life hacks I propose for achieving your goals. Seeking challenges is a prerequisite for improvement. Every time I overcome a difficulty or achieve a goal, I ask myself, with the opportunity for reflection, ‘Is the game finished, or do I desire the next level, something beyond what I already have?’ The answer is apparent.
The key to a successful high school life is finding balance. I believe I have achieved it: balancing social and academic pursuits, friendships, and personal growth. Don’t be afraid to forgo immediate gratification when circumstances demand it, because true happiness comes from solving your difficulties, not avoiding them.”
