2個孩子在Dwight-Englewood Upper School 即將完成他們的高中學業, 這將近4年的異鄉求學日子, 眼見著就要告一段落了, Casper & Nasrin 在 Dwight 的這段時光, 由14歲的稚嫩小孩直至18歲的清澀青少年, 除了學識增長, 眼界大開, 學習社交, 鍛鍊身體, 獨立生活, 學習處理解決事情...想想如果不是他們到異鄉讀書, 還真難有這樣的機會來訓練孩子, 內心欣慰的是2個孩子是一天天的茁壯成長, 也因為專心致志勤勤奮奮為來美國的主要目的--讀書, 堅持不懈, 不言放棄, 如今看來即將達成任務, 在這段陪伴求學的時間, 還是他們2人非常堅持, 互相扶持走完這段奮鬥歷程, 還是先生及孩子的心志堅強, 較有遠見, 沒有他們3人鞭策我, 我可能早早放棄這辛苦的任務了
Casper & Nasrin 學業, 品格, 受到老師及同學的一致肯定, 給 Cum Laude Society 這個獎來肯定他們, 而且是在第一次 10% 就被選出, 讓我們夫妻倆 very pround of them, 學校給我的信件內容是這樣:
Dear Casper,(Nasrin),
It is a great pleasure for me to
congratulate you on being selected for membership into our school's Cum Laude Society. Admission to the Cum
Laude Society is based on the academic excellence and
strong character that you have demonstrated during your years in
Dwight-Englewood's Upper School. It is
only awarded to 20% of any senior class. This is an honor that you have well
earned.
To quote from the society handbook, "Arete includes
the concept of excellence in the moral sense and is not limited to the ideal of
superiority in scholarship, nor does it involve the endeavor of competing
primarily for academic grades. Diki
includes the concept of what is suitable and
appropriate as well as just. Timi
includes the concept of dignity and true worth as well
as honor." Thus, those elected to the society have been selected not only
for demonstrated prowess in academics, but also for the upstanding personal
qualities they bring to our community.
You will be inducted with fellow selected
members of the class of 2016 on Thursday, April 14. Additional information
about that event will be sent to you and your family at later date. We look
forward to celebration your achievements then
Once again, congratulations on your
selection and continued success for remainder of your senior year.
Sincerely,
Joseph W. Algrant Peter Bograd Jack Armitage
Upper School Principal President Secretary
