今年暑假，七德師生走出了舒適的生活圈，或走進名校，體驗與眾不同的課程，理解多元文化；或走出國門，感知五彩斑斕的世界，感受異域風情。為此，今年的世界教室晨會分享分為學生、教師、親子三個專場，意在從不同的視角，共同探討旅行的意義，一起分享彼此的成長。帶著思考，揣著夢想，與未來同行，用智慧與努力成就最好的自己！

上周一的晨會分享，四組老師分別從學習、相處、反思、理解四個維度，與我們分享了老師們所理解的旅游的意義。今天是世界教室分享的第三場，親子專場。讓我們跟隨他們的講述，一起感受他們的成長與蛻變......

李悅茗同學前往了英國頂級的美術綜合性大學——伯恩茅斯藝術大學，在那里，她參加了為期3周的作品集準備課程。她克服了只身一人出國的陌生感、交朋友時的社交恐懼、還有極具挑戰的課程。她說，“完成每個作品時的成就感很讓人滿足，我的創造力得到了提升，也接觸了各種不同媒介和材料來豐富我的技巧。大家都沉浸在藝術的氛圍里，相互學習、一起進步。我很享受與志同道合的同伴們一起創作的樂趣”。

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.

這個夏天，留給大家的并非都是陽光與美好，也有烏云和噩夢。姚銘安同學由于不完全了解情況在維克森林大學的學分夏校留下了一絲遺憾。

在夏校期間，她瘋狂閱讀從未接觸過的社會心理學研究方法，拼命完成繁多的線上課程，與夏校老師發無數的郵件溝通作業......回國之后，又因為不想讓那難熬的十幾天的努力付諸東流，為了拿到僅剩的一個學分繼續努力。最終，完成了近乎不可能完成的任務。結局雖有遺憾，但收獲也良多。

“當我無意中翻郵箱的時候，我看到了我當時發出去一封又一封的郵件，一次又一次的更改，我突然有了一種成就感。回看整個暑假，我一直在努力嘗試著走出這個噩夢般的作業系統，雖然過程真的很艱難，但是我也真的收獲了很多。比如說：努力理解郵件里的評價，努力和老師溝通，努力在最短的時間里接受現實等等。最終我總結出了一句話：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.”

噩夢般的經歷的確讓人痛苦，但一旦走出噩夢便有最清醒的認識與不一樣的收獲。

楊璇同學在就讀七寶德懷特、紐約德懷特的交換之旅、哥倫比亞大學夏校、哈佛領袖峰會之后，體會到了友誼的彌足珍貴。她說友誼是生命中不可缺少的部分，這促使她開始試著去關注大家的感受，關懷關愛他人，試著在做出行動或說話前思考這些對他人的影響，她也開始嘗試從團隊的角度思考問題。她說：“當我真正從臺前轉到幕后，被大家信任著、支持著，我才發現，作為團隊指導者的參與度、責任感和滿足感一點也不比真正參與到游戲當中的人少。我也真正感受到了幫助別人、被需要能帶來更加強烈的成就感、滿足感與幸福感”。

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.
