The Honor of Cum Laude Society
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

When the Dust Settles
在 Englewood Library 上課斷斷續續已經有3年的時間了, 這是我陪孩子來美國讀書這段時間, 最讓我有輕鬆學習興緻的好地方, 跟3種不同課程的老師也成為好友, 有時相約一起吃飯, 逛街, 介紹臨近的 town, 不同的生活功能, 有了這些純美國人的帶領, 讓我這異鄉人多了份安心,安全,自在的感覺
Librarian Grace 希望我寫些關於自己的 short story, 想著陪孩子讀高中的這四年即將告一段落, 階段性的任務即將完成, 心裡也漸漸踏實多了, 所以就寫下目前我的心境當成這次的交差功課
When the dust settles
It's autumn. Fall leaves transform to yellow , copper, orange, and
deep crimson. When I walk on a country road, I listen
to the autumn chorus that will stay in my memories. I remember three years ago
when I accompanied my children to USA for their high school education. It
was struggling time for us. We faced that time with mixed emotions. Time went
by as we overcame many obstacles. The seasonal changes have given us a new
lease on
life. My family and I enjoy the changing colors.
The time has come for my children to apply to colleges. It’s
unexpectedly complicated for me, but I'm glad that the school counselor is
helping out. They submitted their ED (early decision) and EA (early action)
applications and are now working on regular applications. We will wait and see
what will happen.
I need to leave the States every 90 days so I always travel a lot
between the USA and my home country. It is exhausting. When the dust settles, I
will have completed my four-year duty as my children move towards new chapters
of life.

兒子與女兒 qualified outdoor Boy's & Girl's 800 Sprint Medley, 由New Balance 贊助在 North Carolina 舉行, 本來打算在台灣停留到月底才回來, 但孩子要求希望能回來看他們比賽, 所以風塵僕僕改了機票時間, 趕回來陪他們一起到北卡看他們比賽, 雖然沒有進入決賽, 但努力過參與過得到的經驗就非常值得了
