一周前,学校公布了下学期的课程。仔细一看,少了中级绘画,多了心理学。再到课程选项里查看,竟然发现有一项“AP MOBIL CSP”当初没看到。刚刚从毕业同学那得到的信息是: AP课程可以很好地BOOST GPA. 他除了HISTORY, 上HONOR,还没有上过一门AP课。这门AP课对他来讲,应该是不太费劲的。于是当晚和第二天早上千叮咛,万嘱咐地,让他和CONSULTANT讲,就说当初选课时把这门课漏了,你以后大学想学COMPUTER SCIENCE, OR COMPUTER ENGINEERING, 这门课对你以后有帮助,你也有信心学好此门课,请她帮忙调课。

下午回家,问他。他说去找了,把情况和MAIN OFFICE的老师说了,老师说CONSULTANT JULIE正在忙,请他把写信向她说。 ”那你就写。。。。“。 ”嗯“ 他领令。晚上问他,他说已经送了。第二天下午,他送信息说”得到回复,说那门课当前没位置了。会帮他留意看以后会不会有空出的位。“ 想想这孩子要上一年他不会有兴趣的课,还丢了白送的AP课,我开始有些郁闷,怪自己粗心大意。没想到差不多一周后,他送信息告诉我说:她说有空位了。”那你让她改“ ”有“。晚上一查,明年的课程中去除了心理课,换上了MOBILE CSP。 不错,小子办成一件大事。

说了一阵子,想要打工赚钱,一直功课忙,没申请。快暑期了,于是开始想各种工作机会。他最想去的是BEST-BUY,其次是 STAPLES, TARGET这样的商店摆货。看到附近的BEST-BUY 有开放的工作机会,于是通知他上网申请。他信心满满地申请了,结果第二天一早,我去看邮箱,就有一封回信,说招聘团队已经认真审阅了他的简历,经过一番考量,觉得他目前还无法胜任那个岗位。上学前和他说了,让他去申请BEST-BUY里的另一个岗位。他走后,我有点不甘心,就跑到店里去问。一个管理的小头头问了儿了子的年纪,说据他所知,店里最小的工作人员都是十八岁的,因为这家门店客流量大,工作节奏快。”他很强壮,可以应付快节奏的工作。”他听了一笑。“我可以带他来和你们经理谈谈吗?“。”可以,PETER今天就在,你带你儿子来。“ 

放学带去见了PETER. PETER 四十来岁,人很和善,看着就像个好老板。问了年纪要求,他说除了WAREHOUSE里因为要开机器,要求十八岁以上外,其余的网位都对十六以上人群开放。问儿子有没有在网上申请。答说“有”。他到办公室转过一圈后回来,”没见到你的申请。“ ”他确实有,我还收到了婉拒信“。”噢,那是系统自动发的。“”申请分两块,第二块是通过视频问答,然后视频会被录下,上传后才算成功。你有这一步吗?“ '没有”。“我们的系统比较复杂,你回去再把重新申请一下。”

red rose with fine mist droplets

Since he turned to 13, he started having a demand for privacy. Whenever he was at home , he would stay in his room with the door locked. My boy used to be so close to me, now he starts preventing me from getting his room. Even I thought it should be part of his growth, but psychologically I hasn't prepared for it yet.   

His 15 years old physical exam was different from previous ones. I realized from the view of western physiology, 15 is a very meaningful age for boys. He is a boy in puberty during which period most of the boys should start thinking about girls.     

Regarding girls, I have never heard any particular girl’s names from his mouth when we moved to US.  various factors might contribute to this fact, his disorder, his poor academy, his shyness, etc.  But under my questioning, he did tell me he plays computer games with girls, one of them is a Japanese girl living in Las Vegas. If his willingness of having have sushi and Japanese snacks, his interest in knowing about Japanese culture and history were some vague clues that led me to think he might like that Japanese girl and has been trying to create chatting topics with her.   Then his curiosity to this game couple should be a more convincing clue to support my suspicion.

That time, with the story as media, we talked more. He said he wants to be a computer engineer, he wants to study in UConn, he thinks he will not be a poor person in the future…all these were expressed in a relaxing voice with confidence.

I was stunned by his ambitions. "UConn is a very good school, you have to study very hard to get into. "  I gave encouragment to him, left  skepticism to myself.
