西方也有很多优秀的传统

Rose教授把她的RA团队看成是一个family，每年都要搞很隆重的周年爬梯。有多隆重我们不知道，因为我们没有参加，没有看见，但是从她的准备工作中可以看得出来。在离爬梯还有3，4个月的时候，Rose就给我们家长写信，说她要搞个周年爬梯感谢大家一年来的辛苦工作，庆祝大家所取得的成绩，同时鼓舞大家继续努力，以提升团队的士气。她要求我们家长帮助，写封信讲讲自己孩子有趣的故事，她会在爬梯上宣读，一方面活跃气氛，更重要的是能让这些孩子感觉到家庭的温暖，感觉到我们大家是多么爱他，他们在我们心中是多么的重要。

我太太为此写了下面这封信，儿子上大学后从来没有主动给我们打过电话，那次爬梯后，他给我们打了电话，激动地对他妈妈说“谢谢！”

Dear Dr. Rose,

 

I would like to thank you to give Tom such a great opportunity to work with you and your great RA team. I know Tom loves his job very much. I still remember how excited Tom was when he told me he got a RA offer two years ago. Tom loves XXXX(Univ.Name). He is so proud to be a XXXX student that he always wishes to have opportunity to do something for his college. The RA position gives him such a very good opportunity. While he is helping new students, he is also learning from and growing up by taking responsibilities. 

 

I do feel his progress in these years. He becomes more mature and more initiative. In Last summer, he re-painted our house and remodeled living rooms. He did a great job. Many friends who visit my home were surprised by our beautiful living rooms. They couldn’t believe that job was done by Tom, an inexperienced young man!  Yes, I surprised as well. I was not only surprised by the great job he did, but also I was surprised by his leadership. I asked him what he thought was the most important to complete the remodeling project. He said it was the ability to line up all available resources to reach the target. He told me he learnt a lot from his RA position and knew how to work with other experts. Therefore he can complete a task on the field in which he doesn’t have experience and knowledge.

 

Last semester, he got a first “B” in his transcript. The classes in senior year seem to be much more challengeable. I would like to know how important he consider his RA job was. I discussed with him: “Tom, you got a “B” this semester. It seems the study becomes much tougher and you are difficult to handle it. Can you quit your RA job and give yourself more time to study?” He said No without any hesitate. He said his RA job was very important to him. He believed RA was the most important and valuable course he had taken in college. The skills and leadership he learnt from RA position would benefit him a lot in his future career. He said he would never give up his RA job. He promised me he would be able to handle the challenge and do well in this semester since he had more experience. 

 

I was very happy to hear this reply. From his attitude, I know Tom has grown up. He becomes a responsible man, likes to help people, to contribute to society and is willing to take challenges. 

 

I would like to thank you, Dr.Rose; Without your guidance and training, Tom may not have such great progress. I would like to thank all of his team members as well. With their friendship and support, Tom becomes much braver and stronger. I am proud of Tom, I am proud of Tom as a member of the great family.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Best wishes
