又过一关

留住孩子们成长的快乐时光。

已经是坐立不安的女儿上午终于给老爸打来电话:“Dad, I got the good news, finally! I passed the French test and will skip the level 3 to level 4 next sememster.”

这是女儿的心病呢。好多大学录取要求4年的外语课。当时和一所大学的招生负责人谈,人家的建议就是自学,直接跳到level 4。只要中学学完了四年的课程,没有问题。为此,女儿上了大学的summer课程。可惜大学的summer课程没有相当于女儿高中level3的,只好上相当于level 2的,为的是自学时有个老师辅导一下,并留下一个记录。这个夏天,女儿是边自学level 3,边上大学的level2课程。课程容易,在缺席一个礼拜去summer camp的情况下,轻轻松松地拿了一个A。但最后跳一级的关,还是得由学校的法语老师决定。上个礼拜天,女儿就和老师约好了,要通过一个正式的考试,才能过关。没想到老师还是满正经的,一个考试,居然也花了两个半小时。

女儿虽然感觉不错,但这两天一直不停地查email,等老师的结果了。不错,终于如愿以偿。

孩子呀,有了一个自己的目标才有动力。女儿有自己的dream college,知道进去不容易,每件小事上都会花点时间来打理。老爸只要时不时提醒一下就可以了。我们今年年初设定的五关已过了四道: SATI,微积分的AP,法语的summer课程拿A,法语跳级。正式的大学申请过程马上要开始了,女儿还有最后一关--重考ACT。我这老爸现在的任务就是把申请Financial aid的文件提前准备好。我们选好了6所要申请的学校,就等她的ACT成绩出来,再决定申请那所学校的early decision。

过关斩将,好忙碌的一年!
