我在美国读高中

美国生涯之万事开头难

Difficulty Goes before Easiness

只身赴美学，为圆航天梦

逐梦的孩子，在学会跑之后，就想着飞了……

从小我就有一个梦想，希望可以成为一名航天员。回忆往昔，我曾经在炎炎烈日下硬拽着父母陪我试射小火箭，也对各种航天模型和天文图片充满好奇，那些与航天和宇宙相关的科教节目也始终是我的爱。甚至坐上飞机时，看着越来越小的陆地，我便遐想飞得更高的景象，期待着遥看蔚蓝星球的视觉盛宴。

不幸的是，这个童年付诸了很多努力的梦想因为眼睛的近视而破灭了。以目前的航天员标准，我的身体已算无缘翱翔太空，但是依然希望我的梦想、智慧、坚定和汗水可以飞上九天，哪怕飞船上只搭载着我设计或制造的小部件也好。

众所周知也无可非议，美国是目前世界上的航天强国，虽然美国的航天史上也发生过重大事故，并且近来航天科研经费总是受到财政阴影的困扰，但是核心技术还是领先中国几十年。所以，我以高中生的身份去美国读书，其中主要的原因就是为了实现我的航天梦。我的近期奋斗目标是考取美国著名理工科大学，以更接近的航天技术，也就会更加接近梦想中的天空。在NASA（美国国家航空航天局）的一个基地参观后，我更全面地了解了美国的航天史和航天技术，可以说是辉煌下伴随着种种艰辛，但终究是发展着和领先着。同样面对艰辛的我，也不会折返或退缩，因为我的心中依然有灿烂的星空。

我的航天梦终不是为美国的领先锦上添花，而是要为祖国的追赶雪中送炭。以浩瀚的太空或航天事业为参照，我的力量虽然如此渺小，但能让神舟十几号或几十号飞船上搭载我的设计和创造就是我的追求和满足。至于太空，就让火箭与飞船替我去瞭望、游历和征服吧。

I Have A Dream

“Kids who have dreams always start to think about flying right after being able to run”, as one of the Chinese old sayings goes.

I have had a dream since I was very young hoping of becoming an astronaut. I used to make and launch small rockets and be interested in all kinds of models and photos of the satellites as well as the universe. Even when being on an airplane and flying in the air, looking below and seeing things on the ground becoming smaller and smaller, I definitely became excited and dreamed to fly higher to view the whole planet and the mysterious universe.

Unfortunately, this dream came to an end because of my myopic eyes. Under the standard of choosing astronauts in China, I could no longer harbor the scene of flying in space. Then I shifted my dream to fulfilling my dream in my own way—bringing intelligence and intellectual achievements to space-related matters. So I desire to make my personal contribution to tasks of cosmonautics.

Admittedly, the US is the most powerful country in aerospace throughout the world, although it has some severe accidents in its history and its development is restricted by financial factors. I went to American high school last year in order to fulfill part of my dream. My first phase is trying to attend a college, where I can be fully prepared for working in the in the field of astronomy and cosmonautics.

After visiting a NASA base, I thoroughly understand the history and advancing technology of American aero-space, which is glorious, leading in the world but also facing systematic problems. Similarly, facing challenges, I wouldn’t give up because there is always a dream in my heart of exploring the beautiful universe.

My dream is not aiming to make American space engineering perfect but to devote myself to the progress of our own aerospace program. I, myself, though, am tiny compared to the vastness of outer space. I keep seeking the chance that there will be a small part of my creation on Shenzhou spaceships. I believe my dream will be carried on to those spaceships, rockets and even further to the immense outer space.

秣马厉兵，整装待发

从国内好的高中迈向美国高中—说起来容易做起来难。对我这个从小在爸爸、妈妈悉心呵护下长大的男孩来说，前方的路自有父母帮我规划，我要做的只是好好读书，做好每个时期应该做的就可高枕无忧了，出国读书真是突如其来的想法。

初二下学期，我突然有了去美国读书的打算。当时我并未经过全面的思考就加入了SSAT和TOEFL的考试大军，为申请美国高中而备战。考场的硝烟散去之后，便是烦琐的申请流程。我开始沉下心来思考—“真的做好准备了吗？”—被梦想和顾虑反复折磨之后，我悲哀地发现这个晚上还赖在爸妈屋里打地铺的自己并没有胆量离开家，外面不可预知的一切击败了充满梦想的那个我。爸妈的意见起初也并不统一，由此当时我选择了留在国内。现在看来，当时的这个抉择并没有错。

一年半后，2011年2月的高一寒假，我赴美参加了哈佛大学的模拟联合国活动及普林斯顿大学的数学竞赛。期间老爸与我一同参观了一些美国名校，转折也发生在那时—向来看不惯美国的老爸为我做了这个决定：到美国高中读书，为进入世界上的美国大学做准备。其实，那时的我一直都在逃避这个问题，但当这个问题再次被提出时，我突然发现自己已经准备好了，也许，一个人的长大可能真的就是一瞬间的事。我相信自己可以照顾好自己，可以走好自己的路，那个为梦而战的我又回来了。但同时另一个问题摆在了我面前—我错过了正常招生申请的时间，只能进行补录，面对着更为苛刻的条件和烦琐的流程，我没有时间反复考虑和犹豫，斩钉截铁地决定走出去。我对自己说，既然已经准备好一切，就不必再去学那瞻前顾后的楚怀王，一路向前，现在就备战，为出发的后机会而努力。

Time to Go

Transferring from one of the best Chinese high schools to an American high school is actually hard for me, a young fellow who grew up under the loving hands of my parents. They always make plans for my study and life. The only thing I needed to do was to work hard academically. Studying abroad is a tough task for me.

Partially encouraged by my mom, at the second term of 8th grade, I suddenly got the idea of studying in the US. I didn’t really put much thought over this option before I joined in the army of TOEFL and SSAT candidates and started preparing to apply for American high schools. But after all the hard work, I thought deeply, “Am I really ready for this?” Being tortured by the dreams and apprehensions, I felt sorrowful that I was not mature enough to live alone without my mom and to succeed in the intricate world. As a result, I chose to stay in China. If I take second thought to it now, I don’t think it is a bad choice.

One and a half years later, in the winter vacation of 10th grade, I went to America for MUN of Harvard University and mathematic competition of Princeton. At that time, my father visited some elite schools and talked with some overseas students. He finally made the decision for me, which I kept running away from. But when the problem was reconsidered, I found I was actually ready both physically and mentally. But another obstacle was in the way before me-I missed the regular application time. I could only compete with a sea of students for limited schools still available at that time. I didn’t hesitate this time. Since then, I set foot on another road, which was completely new for me but I determined to keep trying my best on the road.

那一年的愚人节

有的同学在那一天发现自己课桌里有一条“蛇”，泪奔之后却发现那只是一个玩具；有的人在那一天收到一束玫瑰，从震惊到不知所措再到胡思乱想，却发现送花的竟是一位同性；有的人在那一天想去愚弄这个世界，却终被别人愚弄……而我，在2011年4月1日那天，收到了来自大洋彼岸美国高中的个Offer。我拿到这个Offer的个念头就是—我被耍了？今天是愚人节！

回想起来，我进行美国学校申请的整个过程真可谓“惊心动魄”。从决定出国那天开始计算，申请考试、参加SSAT和TOEFL考试、选校、申请、面试、等待录取直到得到Offer，总共仅用了五十几天的时间，并且同时被申请的两所学校录取了。想想当时自己真是有股势不可挡的冲劲，无所畏惧—不知道是不是“无知者无畏”呢。我当然宁愿相信是自己强大的气场“震慑”了考官。其实原本我不是一个张扬的人，也不擅长主动与陌生人交谈，而这一次我真的为自己的目标使出了吃奶的劲儿。面试的时候，我竟然和面试官说个没完，直到面试结束了，我还与闲坐在那里的老师聊天，来竭力表现自己。

在我拿到个Offer之后，我觉得自己并不是很喜欢那所学校，因为太靠南边。在我这个皇城根下长大的“小北京”心目中，有四季变化的气候更适合人生存，所以我就一直在等现在这所学校的Offer。由于属于第二轮录取，所以个向我发出Offer的学校要求一周内一定要给出是否入学的答复，但我等待的另一个Offer迟迟没有来，我忍不住发邮件过去说“假如再不决定的话，我就去另外那所学校了”……在经过两天的痛苦难熬后，我终于等来了令人愉悦的消息—Woodberry Forest School将我录取啦！

在读完高一并经过了一个开心的暑假之后， 2011年8月31号，我坐上UA898次北京飞往华盛顿的航班，开始了我的留学之旅……

That April Fools’ Day

My fellows received various surprises on that day. One got a toy snake in his desk; one got a rose which astonished him but it turned out to be a gift from a male friend. There were those fooled while attempting to fool others as sort of revenge and proving themselves smart. My surprise came as an offer from a high school across the sea. When I got it, my initial response is whether it might be a trick or a truth thing. It’s an April the first after all.

Looking back to the old time, my journey to US was a big success of narrow margin. In only 50 days or so, beginning from the very moment I made up my mind to go abroad, I registered and took the SSAT and TOEFL tests first. Meanwhile, I quickly decided on which schools to apply for and finished my application procedures and after that I took several interviews in Beijing as well as in other places. After a long uneasy wait and struggle, I eventually got the offer from two schools I applied for. Frankly speaking, I was indeed a rather shy person. However, I spared no effort this time in my solid pursuit of my abroad study goal. I managed to keep words flowing throughout the interviews and even remembered to highlight my talents and potential though I was quite nervous at those times.

I wasn’t fully satisfied with the first school offered. It is located in the south of America with sunshine all year around while I am used to live in Beijing, a city with changeable weather in different seasons and more natural for people to inhabit. As the offer is given at the second round, I should inform the school of my decision in a week. As I wait anxiously for the second offer,

前言

作者的序

稚嫩的翅膀无法限制雏鹰翱翔天际，以勇敢为脊梁，用信念作动力。

也许你和我一样曾在求学的三岔口面对多重的选择而不知所措。对我们青少年来说，无论选择了何种求学方式，重要的是学会思考自己的人生，而不仅单纯地依赖父母的决定。俗话说，“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，面对即将到来的成人季，如果我们都能够及早独立思考自己的人生，走自己的路，做主宰自我人生的掌舵者，也许这才是送给自己好的成人礼。

从我懂事的那一天起，我就在思索我将飞向哪里，又将在哪里停留，是否也可以拥有辉煌和超然的人生？那时的我认定人生一定存在一个界限，无论它是“山高人为峰”的轰轰烈烈，抑或是“泯然众人矣”的平平庸庸，它的界限始终存在，在你竭尽全力付出后限定你能收获的值，这是我自认为成熟的思想。但现在看来，却是错误的。我在一个不断进步的社会里经营我不断进步的人生，就像是在飞驰的列车上奔跑，窗外的风景一瞬而过，让我无法看清它们的模样，我将自己的所有精力集中在车厢里，试图看清这里的一切，想尽办法超越其他与我一同奔跑的乘客。跑着跑着我发现，这辆列车全速前进的动力正是来源于每一个奋力奔跑、不甘落后的人。同时，我还发现一些比我年幼的进取者们迷失了方向，因懵懂而未能完全发挥搭载这列快速列车的所有优势。尽管在所有的奔跑者中，我仍属稚嫩，但我相信我仍然可以帮助一些特定的群体，用我走过的路和心中的热帮他们解答疑惑，加油鼓劲儿。

当前，中国社会是个开放而多元化的社会，这种开放和多元化，得益于历代国人和学子的前赴后继。远赴重洋探索强国富民之道，历经百年有余。近年来，越来越多的青年学生希望去发达的国家接受更好的基础教育或高等教育，不管是出于丰富自己的目的，还是出于报效国家的想法，这种进取之心和探索之志都是值得赞许和帮助的。我是一个在中国的高中里读着读着就跑到美国去的未成年人，离开了现在令我日思夜想的老师和同学，离开了祖国令我倍感熟悉的环境与氛围，有些迷茫、有些疑惑地踏上了一条探索之路。幸好父母和美国老师的细心与支持为我搭建了一艘坚实的飞船，让我可以限度地发挥自己的智慧并勇敢飞出迷雾，赢得一片明朗的未来。我觉得我有责任来做一些事情，去报答祖国提供的如此开放、多元选择的环境，去报答中国的老师和同学们对我的帮助，去报答父母和美国老师们对我的教导。我选择用文字记录我与美国高中相关的故事，将自己对过往岁月的总结与对未来生活的展望凝结在这白纸黑字之中，同时也希望这记录能对他人有所助益。

首先，我希望此书能为那些希望出国的高中生或者大学生们勾勒出一个留学生活的基本轮廓。让他们了解那些由日常活动和学生社团、由创新精神和实践精神搭建起来的美国校园；了解在这样的校园中成长的人格完整与素质全面；了解那些因教育方式差异、国民性格差异激发出的中美文化火花；了解在如此碰撞中成长的多元包容与自我肯定。尤其值得一提的是，我还将笔墨寄希望于为那些所谓“留学生的奢华生活”平反，告知他们我们甚至成为了中华民族“勤劳”“朴实”品德的忠诚实践者，我们的学习并非如外界传扬一般只有玩乐，挑灯夜读有之，笔耕不辍有之，甚至更需绞尽脑汁才能完成学业。同时，我还将通过记录自己在Woodberry的生活点滴，向外界讲述一个伟大、祥和、科学的成长天堂，毫无商业目的和经济利益地为Woodberry做一个饱含实际体验的广告，希望越来越多的中国学生可以与我一起在这里学习、成长。

其次，我希望此书能够为中国的施教者和受教者提供一个参考。中国近几十年的教育发展是高速的，我们在自身的受教过程中也能切切实实地感受到这种变化、受益于这种变化。中国的教育政策制定者与学校、老师，甚至学生自身都为此做出了符合其年代特征的努力。发展至今日，我们发现中国的教育方式与美国仍多有不同，但这种不同就像中医与西医一样，并不能判定谁比谁更先进、谁比谁更科学。事实上，美国的大部分方法并不能使身在中国的学生获得更多实际的收益，但是美国学校中的细节却值得我们深刻反思。对于那些希望出国的中国学生，我将向他们介绍一个真实的美国校园，希望使各位我的同龄朋友们找到真正适合自己的去处。那些因为无法忍受中国学习压力或者希望去美国奢华消费的朋友们是不适合去美国的；那些不情愿去打开心扉或者不喜欢迎接改变的朋友们也是不适合去美国的，因为那里并不全是生活的乐土，不全是轻松与惬意，不全是放纵与游乐，那里有更多智力上的较量与信念上的考验，有更多勇气的培养与人格的教育。当然，我希望本书更多地不是去筛除那些盲目希望以留学逃避中国升学压力的人，而是找到那些看了这段文字就更兴奋，更心向往之的知音，若你是后者，那么恭喜你，美国的校园正在向你招手了。

再次，我也希望此书能够为美国的老师和朋友们了解中国，了解我本人对祖国为朴实和为真诚的爱提供一个平台。海外学子身份的特殊性，常使我胸腔震荡着强烈的使命感与责任感，我始终认为自己有责任向美国的朋友们介绍中国的老师和学生是如何在现行的教育制度和考试制度下追求机遇并为之付出努力的；有责任向中国的朋友们介绍美国的老师和学生是如何在其教育制度和考试制度下完善人格并为之全情投入的；有责任为中国和美国，乃至中国和世界的学生们搭建起一个基于互相了解的友谊桥梁。希望当我们生存的地球因信息的通畅而缩小为“村落”时，村南和村北的人们能没有隔阂。希望用我的记录可以使“村落”中我左右手边的老师、同学和朋友们更多地了解对方，通过毫不掩饰地交流与沟通，相互理解，相互认可，互相学习，让五洲友谊之花开放在今世，让世界和平之果结实于未来。

此外，我更希望此书能够为中国老师、学生更了解中国，美国老师、学生更了解美国提供一个可资对比的新视角。此书的写作不是简单平铺直叙的流水账，而是通过对比的手法，在比较的过程中体现彼此不同于对方的特征。没有比较就没有结果，如果一种文化单独存在，那么存在也只是存在，如果有另一种文化对这种文化形成冲击与折射，那么后者的独特性则更为凸显。从这种思路延伸，如果想看清一种文化、一种现象，那么“他者”的立场尤为重要，没有体会过中国班主任严父般的管教方法，就无法体会美国Advisor慈母式的相处模式；没有美国小班教学的随意，也无法体会中国大班教学的严谨。“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”，跳脱原有的文化与习惯，站在庐山之外看庐山，看到的就不是“横看成岭侧成峰”的片面与偏见，而是庐山全景的真面目，以及在理性分析成因基础上，对这种真面目的理解与包容。对于中国学子而言，了解美国是为了更好地了解中国，并在了解的基础上更爱这个我们生于斯长于斯的国度，对于美国学子，也是这样。这种沟通不仅仅是中美之间的沟通，更是在彼此映照之际，达到自己与自己所处文化、自己与自己的更深层次的对话。

我坚信，自己是一个热爱思考和探索的开放学子；我也坚信，自己是个有责任感且心存梦想的中国男生。我用日记式的记录、思考和对比，希望用不死板和不甚成熟的语言展现我眼中一些特殊的现象，表达我心中一切真实的想法。当然，传达一种生活的同时也更希望接受一种反馈，期待着志同道合的朋友们为我提出一些建议，帮助我纠正自己的偏颇，化解自己的稚嫩，让我可以在社会高速行驶的列车上跑得更快或更多地帮助身边迷失的人，这是我迎接成年的后一搏，也是我对未来的一个许诺。

后，亲爱的朋友，请不要对能够出国的孩子羡慕，无论在哪里读书，如果有机会借鉴别人的经验，充分取其精华，何尝不是事半功倍的好事呢？如果有时间，请在平日的学习中加入国外教学的元素，让思考之花遍地开放。“思考是行为的种子”，我们活着就是为了思考，让中西教学珠联璧合，将我们的学习演变为真正的学“问”，而不是简单机械的学“答”，才能达到“青出于蓝而胜于蓝”的求学境界。作为年轻的一代，唯有运用智慧，不断思考才能紧跟时代步伐。亲爱的朋友，无论身在何处，让我们用思考的智慧和满腔的热情为美好前程开创一片蓝天。

Preface from David

Flowers in the greenhouse do not grow to their full bloom and they are unable to endure the harsh weather in nature. I, take the courage to move along together with my strong belief to motivate myself for the future.

Gentle readers, probably you are standing at an intersection, pondering over which way to go. To us young people, pursuing further study remains our priority. More importantly, we should learn how to make our own decision rather than largely depend on our parents or family. “The early bird gets the worm”, as an old saying goes. As we approach our crossroad both physically and academically, the earlier that we can clear our thoughts and decide the right track to go on our study and life by ourselves, the better gift we can have to celebrate our growth.

From a very young age, I started to think about my life goal and life course in an unpredictable future. At that time, I believed there exists a climax of everyone’s life. Be it a wonderful and successful one or a rather common and ordinary one. What we sow, what we mow. This is what I considered the most mature way of thinking. Things change and I have a new understanding now. I am managing my own life in such an advancing society, pretty much like driving an express train, too fast to appreciate those beautiful scenes outside. I collect my concentration trying to have a better view and exceed other passengers on the life train. As the journey moves on, I realize that the actual driving force doesn’t come from ourselves but from the pressure and competition of every other people around us unyieldingly aiming to do better than others. Among those runners, I still consider myself not mature enough but I do believe that my experience and thoughts may be helpful to those who encounter similar challenges and problems as I did.

Currently, China is an open and diverse country. People in the past generations made their contributions to build up a stronger and more powerful country over the past one hundred years by going abroad for advancement in science and technology. Recently, more and more students plan to study in developed countries for their further study, either for their own interests or for their ambitions such as making their contributions to their motherland in the future. I’m one of those young dream pursuers, leaving my dear family, teachers, classmates and friends behind, with mixed feelings of confusion and doubt. Gratitude goes to my parents and American teachers. They made solid preparation for my new life, enabling me to overcome difficulties and hardships along the bumpy road and come close to a brighter future. Thus, I am under a self-imposed obligation that I can do something to return those favors I received—recording and telling my stories in words and pictures along the long journey.

First of all, I hope this book serves as a guide or outline for those high school or university school students plan to go abroad for their academic pursuit. In this book, I will introduce following aspects: school daily activities and student clubs; the shaping and nurturing of the personality and integrated development in this environment; cultural conflicts caused by the different education and customs; tolerance of diversity and self-affirmation in the diversification country. More importantly, I depict an exact and true picture about the so-called “luxurious oversea students’ life”, which is not a life style full of entertainment and indulgence but working as hard as possible since we students abroad inherited those traditional virtues such as diligence and honest.

Moreover, through my detailed description of Woodberry Forest School, I intend to introduce a great, harmonic and science-oriented school to you. And this is definitely an advertisement that I do not profit from anyone who will be interested in continuing their study in this wonderful school.

Secondly, I truly hope this book can serve as a reference for Chinese students and educators. Over the past decades, people have witnessed the dramatic change and progress of Chinese education. As a student myself, I fully notice such change and benefit from it. Chinese Ministry of Education makes joint efforts with teachers together with contribution from school administrators and students. Up to now, Chinese education still differs from the American one in many aspects, which resembles the difference between modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. It is not an easy thing to tell which is more advanced or effective. In fact, Chinese students who study in China cannot benefit much from most American practice ways but some of the practices do help us reflect on what can be learned and applied to better nurture students. Students who desire to go abroad, they will find th
