YCIS Graduates Reflect on their Experiences

Dan Johnson - Now 25, Dan has a master's degree in pharmacology from Bristol University in the UK and now works in the pharmaceutical industry as a marketing consultant for a joint venture between the company he works for in the UK and a Chinese advertising company.

What makes YCIS special?

The combination of Western and Chinese education. The reason I was offered the job I have now was due to the fact I can speak Chinese. When I was at school in Beijing, no other international school offered the same level of language combined with a truly diverse, international environment. Also, the school was extremely flexible in how it dealt with individuals - and we all received a lot of individual attention from staff.

How did YCIS play a role in shaping your life?

I remember science classes at Yew Chung quite vividly, so I feel that it led the direction toward me choosing to do a science degree and go into the pharmaceutical industry. I think speaking Chinese was a huge differentiator when it came to an extremely competitive job market for graduates in 2009. I had no problems landing the exact job that I wanted.

How did your experience at YCIS prepare you for university?

The IB program, in particular the higher-level math and chemistry courses, prepared me well for the academic rigor of university. Also, it helped develop my sense of self-discipline when it comes to keeping on top of the material, which is even more important in university.

What is your best memory of your time at YCIS?

My most memorable experience was the whole HL math class preparing for our statistics paper together. We sieved through the past exams together and tried to make sense of the answers. When one person understood how to tackle the question, they would explain it to everyone else and that would continue as different people understood different questions. It was a collective effort and showed the sense of camaraderie that we had.
