Adapting into the New World - Kevin Rabe, YCIS Shanghai '17

Adapting to a new environment, a new culture can be difficult, nevertheless it is a situation so common that each and every one of us may encounter in life.

We are glad to have YCIS Shanghai alumnus, Kevin Rabe, share with us how he adjusted his mindset and how he overcame the difficulties!

“Community is important, it gathers people from different cultural backgrounds but with the same mindset to support each other.” – Kevin Rabe, YCIS Shanghai Class of 2017

FROM OUR COMMUNITIES

Follow Your Own Colourful Dream

Ms Vanessa Law, YCIS Hong Kong Class of 2012, shared her stories since Year 3. She started thinking of makeup as a career while she was pursuing an IBDP. Later, she became a professional instructor in New York while taking makeup courses. Becoming an international makeup artist has always been Vanessa’s dream. After working on a school production of The King and I as head of makeup in 2011, she was encouraged to follow this direction.

How HK Alumni Enjoy the Virtually Intoxicating Joy of a Grape Education

And now, with the bubbles still fresh in our mouths and a hint of wind in the hair, a quick look back at our first alumni wine tasting event. Special thanks to our wonderful host, Aaron Chung – YCIS Hong Kong Class of 2008 and the director of One Cellar Hong Kong – who dug up a choice selection of reds from regions as diverse as France, Argentina, USA and New Zealand. After all, it is the soil and climate that make the grape.
