上周一的晨会分享，四组老师分别从学习、相处、反思、理解四个维度，与我们分享了老师们所理解的旅游的意义。今天是世界教室分享的第三场，亲子专场。让我们跟随他们的讲述，一起感受他们的成长与蜕变......
李悦茗同学前往了英国顶级的美术综合性大学——伯恩茅斯艺术大学，在那里，她参加了为期3周的作品集准备课程。她克服了只身一人出国的陌生感、交朋友时的社交恐惧、还有极具挑战的课程。她说，“完成每个作品时的成就感很让人满足，我的创造力得到了提升，也接触了各种不同媒介和材料来丰富我的技巧。大家都沉浸在艺术的氛围里，相互学习、一起进步。我很享受与志同道合的同伴们一起创作的乐趣”。

This summer, I went to summer school in Bournemouth.Bournemouth is a nice town in Dorset, south west England. Artsuniversity Bournemouth is the summer school I went where I attended a 3-week course for portfolio preparation.
This is the first time I have beento summer school, that too all on my own which made me feelvery nervous at first. However, when you really step on to the land of UK, all you have to do is to be brave and communicate. Thankfully everything went smoothly and I arrived at my destination without getting lost which my mom was always worried about. That’s progress!
The next challenge was— to make friends. Yes! The one thing that I am not good at except math is making friends. Especially when I am surrounded by many foreigners. Fortunately, my fellow classmates were very lovely. I ended up making friends from Spain, Japan, Russia and many other places in the world. I also met some of the most helpful and wise teachers and I could discuss my thoughts about various artworks with them.
The most intriguing and probably challenging part was the course itself. We only had3 weeks and we needed to create a complete and high quality portflio within this short period of time. I needed to produce one artwork per day which is very challenging because usually it takes several days for me to actually come up with a few good ideas. However, the sense of accomplishment after I finished each piece of artwork was very encouraging. My creativity improved greatly. I got the chance to use all kinds of materials and mediums which also enriched my skills.
Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of creating art. I could exchange ideas with other senior students who were much more experienced than me. We learned from each other and improved together. That was one of the greatest opportunity I had attending this course.
My ability to collaborate improved immensely. We were given a project which was to make a stop motion animation with 3 other team mates. Although it was only the second day of the course, me and my team mates still worked pretty well and ended up taking almost 500 pictures and making a 46 seconds animation with clay models. The team work was very successful.
Apart from learning at school, we also spent our weekends doing various activities. We visited the Victoria and Albert’s museum, watched fireworks on the beach and went shopping on Oxford street.
The whole course ended witha brilliant exhibition containing every work we’ve made during these 3 weeks and our portfolios. It was a really happy 3-weeks and I really enjoyed spending times creating art with like-minded students.

悦茗同学在英伦度过了一个精彩纷呈的夏日，历练了胆量，开拓了眼界，增长了见识。她刚单飞的那几天我还心她会照顾不好自己。但是她出乎我意料之外的独立，整个过程她非常适应，非常享受，甚至连英国“美食”也很对她的胃口。
她这次最大的改变是不惧困难和挑战。在夏校刚开始的阶段其实是很不容易的，要适应新环境认识新朋友，每天的课业创作任务很重，但是她很努力地一步步去做了，不仅自己克服困难还帮助同学一起完成任务。当最后我们看到她的作品集呈现的时候是非常震惊的，毕竟这是第一次尝试。我觉得夏校带给她的不仅仅是激发了创造力，提升了团队合作能力，更主要的是我看到了她对艺术的热情，对人对事的关爱和思考。愿她永葆初心，勇敢前行！在七德的大花园里绽放出属于她自己的美丽光芒！谢谢大家！
这个夏天，留给大家的并非都是阳光与美好，也有乌云和噩梦。姚铭安同学由于不完全了解情况在维克森林大学的学分夏校留下了一丝遗憾。

在夏校期间，她疯狂阅读从未接触过的社会心理学研究方法，拼命完成繁多的线上课程，与夏校老师发无数的邮件沟通作业......回国之后，又因为不想让那难熬的十几天的努力付诸东流，为了拿到仅剩的一个学分继续努力。最终，完成了近乎不可能完成的任务。结局虽有遗憾，但收获也良多。
“当我无意中翻邮箱的时候，我看到了我当时发出去一封又一封的邮件，一次又一次的更改，我突然有了一种成就感。回看整个暑假，我一直在努力尝试着走出这个噩梦般的作业系统，虽然过程真的很艰难，但是我也真的收获了很多。比如说：努力理解邮件里的评价，努力和老师沟通，努力在最短的时间里接受现实等等。最终我总结出了一句话：Not all efforts will succeed, but success must be achieved through hard work.Although the whole summer vacation has been very difficult, but I am still very grateful for this imperfect summer vacation.”

铭安刚才跟大家分享了她的夏校经历，有快乐，也有一些遗憾。作为妈妈，陪伴她一路走来，感同身受。
首先，我为孩子的坚持和执着点赞。夏校留给孩子的作业量是繁重的。孩子回国后，在读SAT班、做学校暑假作业的基础上，每天学习到深夜（或者可以说是凌晨），坚持把所有夏校作业都在DDL前完成提交。当时我们父母都有点不忍心，劝她放弃，但她依然坚持下来，就像完成了一次艰难的长跑。这份坚定和执着值得我们由衷地赞赏。
其次，我们需要和孩子做一些反思。一是不能够完全依赖中介。可以依靠中介帮忙，但自己完全不操心是会出问题的。关键的环节 还是要自己把控。比如这次的学分夏校，在什么样的条件下才能拿到学分，是决定报名前必须弄清楚的。二是与老师沟通的有效性还需要提高。铭安第一次提交作业后老师给出了反馈，对部分作业逐项提出修改意见，现在看来，如何理解运用这些意见，直接决定了作业最终是否能够被通过。所以在这个过程中和老师的高效沟通就显得特别重要，要能够准确理解老师给出的所有建议，不清楚一定要反复沟通，理解了再按要求改，否则很可能白辛苦。
最后一点感受，经历就是财富。整个夏校的经历就是一笔宝贵的财富，让孩子有机会看看外面的世界，接触不同的人和文化，学会更加独立地生活和思考。只有多经历，多体验，才会知道自己真正喜欢什么，适合什么，有哪些地方还需要提高。更重要的是，在整个过程中孩子会发现，父母在一直陪伴着她，和她一起感受快乐，更会和她一起直面困难，她不孤单，不用害怕！有了这些财富，就算发生点遗憾，那又怎样？
噩梦般的经历的确让人痛苦，但一旦走出噩梦便有最清醒的认识与不一样的收获。
杨璇同学在就读七宝德怀特、纽约德怀特的交换之旅、哥伦比亚大学夏校、哈佛领袖峰会之后，体会到了友谊的弥足珍贵。她说友谊是生命中不可缺少的部分，这促使她开始试着去关注大家的感受，关怀关爱他人，试着在做出行动或说话前思考这些对他人的影响，她也开始尝试从团队的角度思考问题。她说：“当我真正从台前转到幕后，被大家信任着、支持着，我才发现，作为团队指导者的参与度、责任感和满足感一点也不比真正参与到游戏当中的人少。我也真正感受到了帮助别人、被需要能带来更加强烈的成就感、满足感与幸福感”。

I'm very honored toshare some of my personal experiences and changes that I have gone through over the past 5 months. In 2019, I experienced a lot of different things: from Qibao Dwight —> New York Dwight —> Columbia University —> Harvard Summit For Young Leaders in China (HSYLC), I have experienced a lot and met a lot of new friends. Today, I wanna share the impact influence caused by HSYLC— Harvard Summit on me.
At Harvard Summit, we met people from all around China and the World, gathering together and building deep relationships and friendships in the process. The experience at HSYLC also lead me to redefine the meaning of friendship, previously, it did not matter a lot in my life but now I can’t lose that in my life. For me, now, if I lose my friends, I will lose the meaning for life.
It’s also the love, support, and trust given by my friends that have prompted me to be a person that wants to pass my love to others. I started to pay more attention on caring for others, thinking further and deeper about how will my words and behaviors influence others before making acting or speaking. I also started to consider a question from the perspective of a team as a whole, instead of thinking from an individual or participator’s view. This time, during the Harvard Summit, I began to act as a team leader, and led my house, team Amicitia, with other Harvard students. When I finally made it and succeeded in this transformation, I started to realize that as a team leader, the sense of participation, responsibility and achievement is no less, or even more than the person who really participated in the game. And I really felt that helping others and being needed is a thing that will give you much a stronger feeling of achievement and happiness than any other previous activities I participated.
As what I’ve said at the Closing Ceremony of Harvard Summit, representing all the graduates, the HSYLC is not only an unforgettable memory in my life, but it is also one that is engraved deeply in my heart for good.
But this MidSummer Night’s Dream is beautiful but very short, so fleeting. So, after I saying goodbye to HSYLC and come back to reality, I started to consider a question: how to make the spirit of Harvard Summit continue, lightit and be the change and bring it to others and influence more people?
So after I come back to Qibao Dwight, my Alma Mater, I begun to treat everyone more sincerely, and paying more attention to others’ feeling, and started to play the role of organizer in group activities, helping plan and coordinate our jobs, completing the project efficiently and enjoying the process.
I tried to bring what I’ve leantinto QibaoDwight, and Itry to answer the previous question:What can I bring to my Alma Mater after I came back? What can we leave for our Alma Mater?
Another question, there will be a day that we leave our motherland—China, when this day finally comes, and we will go abroad to explore a freshnew world in the future, what can we do for our motherland? And what can we leave for our mother land?
These are some feelings and reflections I had after participating in Harvard Summit and other activities this year. Thank you for listening, hoping that in the future we can witness each other’s growth together.

今天我作为一位失职、普通的家长，能借此说几句心里话，感到由衷的高兴。我其实一直都不是一个很称职的妈妈，从小到大我都没有走进过她的内心世界，明显察觉到女儿的一些变化是她来到七德之后，尤其是上学期的纽约交换生活动，女儿发生了巨大变化，变得非常的独立和勇敢。5月底她就安排好了一整个暑假的行程，一会儿告诉我她考进了哥伦比亚大学的夏校，还自己在学校旁边找了房子；一会儿通知我要去哈佛峰会呆几天，回来后又顺便给自己找了升学中介，通知交费。看到女儿的成长与改变，我感到很自豪。
总结
暑假归来的精彩纷呈里，同学们收获的是对自己未来的无限遐想和憧憬。旅行就是“无墙”的课堂，能清楚地认识自己，亦能更好地认识世界。
【家长反馈】
本次的亲子专场世界教室分享也广受家长好评，李悦茗妈妈说，“非常感恩有这个机会和女儿一起同台，看到女儿用流利的英语侃侃而谈，内心很激动！同时借此机会聆听了其他同学和家长的分享，觉得在陪伴孩子成长的道路上大家都是一样的用心，期待孩子们越来越棒！”；姚铭安妈妈说，“非常感谢学校提供平台让孩子最终能够有勇气与大家分享她的夏校经历。当我们一起重新回顾这段历程，夏校的收获和意义似乎从更多层面和角度浮现出来，更显出它的弥足珍贵......感动老师的认真，帮我们修改提炼直到晨会前一天的深夜，提示我们要注意的每一个细节；感动孩子之间的友谊......”；其他家长则总结：三对母女代表了三种不同的风格与特色，各自精彩！作为家长，我们感受到用欣赏的眼光看待自己的孩子实在太重要了；更加体会到学校搭建这种平台的良苦用心，让我们明白了家长需要与孩子共同成长！
