“Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what’s next.” 

“生活就像一盒巧克力,你永远不知道下一颗会是什么味道。”






01

Five months ago, on May 20th, the very moment I stepped onto the airplane from New York Kennedy Airport to Shanghai Pudong Airport, I knew my journey would start to change.

五个月前,5月20日,当我登上从纽约肯尼迪机场飞往上海浦东机场的航班时,我知道我的旅程会开始改变。

With thousands of covid cases happening out there in New York , even up in the air, I felt I was surrounded by germs and virus. I felt thirsty:no, I shouldn’t drink, what if some sneezed; I felt hungry:no, I couldn’t eat, what if someone coughed; I was even too afraid to use the restroom. I really wish to insulate myself in a vacuum bubble . After 20 hours of suffering, I finally arrived at the hotel with tiredness and I was starving. But that was only the start of anther suffering —- 14 days quarantine.

随着纽约出现了成千上万个新冠肺炎病例,我感觉甚至在飞机上,我都被细菌和病毒包围了。我觉得口渴,不,我不该喝水,如果有人打喷嚏,怎么办?我觉得饥饿,不,我不能吃东西,如果有人咳嗽怎么办?我甚至因为太害怕而不敢使用洗手间。我真的很想把自己隔离在真空泡泡里。经过20个小时的煎熬,我总算带着疲惫与饥饿抵达了酒店。但这只是另一份煎熬的开始———14天的隔离。

I still had to attend live online classes in the United States, meanwhile keep in contact with friends and families in China. Basically, I was like a cat. Eating, Sleeping, purring, jumping to the window and peep out. Oh yeah, reading and drinking coffee too. This horrible schedule almost killed my body since my body relies so much on a healthy diet.

我仍然不得不上美国那边的网课,同时与中国的朋友和家人保持联系。基本上,我就像只猫。吃饭,睡觉,打呼,跃到窗口向外偷看。哦,对了,还有阅读和喝咖啡。如此糟糕日程安排几乎毁了我的身体,因为我的身体很大程度上依赖于健康的膳食。

After the 14 days of being like a prisoner, I was finally free! First time in 3 months! Can you imagine how happy I was! But soon I start to worry about my school life in September. I solemnly told my parents, “Mom, dad, I can’t do the same thing as I did during quarantine in Shanghai. I need to fix my schedule.” The suggestion they gave me was that I should go to an international school for the schedule but keep doing my online remote classes.

过了14天囚犯般的日子,我终于自由了!三个月以来第一次!你能想象我有多开心吗!但很快我就开始为九月的开学担心了。我郑重地告诉我的父母,“妈妈,爸爸,我再也不愿意像在上海被隔离的时候那样了。我必须要调整我的计划。 他们建议我去上一所国际学校延续学业计划,但是继续上美国的远程网课。

I gathered with a friend who was in the same situation and we together started to look for schools. Of all the school we visited, they said sorry to us or they said that we had to attend their classes too. I was miserable.

我开始与一位和我处境相同的朋友聚在一起寻找国际学校。我们去过的所有学校不是对我们说抱歉就是说我们必须也要读他们的课程。我当时很痛苦。

So on the last day, I packed all my stuff and set out to the airport. Feeling depressed of not knowing what’s waiting for me in the future. Suddenly, my mom asked me: “Wendy, there is another school in QingPu district; this is our last chance;do you wanna go tomorrow and have one last try?” I answered her with a big yes but I know it was impossible. They are not gonna accept us anyway.

因此,在最后一天,我收拾好所有的东西,准备出发去机场。我感到沮丧,不知道怎样的未来在等着我。突然,我妈妈问我:“温迪,青浦区还有一所学校,这是我们最后的机会,你想明天最后再去试试吗?“我爽快地答应了她,但我知道那是不可能的。他们无论如何都不会接受我们。 

On the next day, on August 25th, 12:51pm, my first time of stepping  into SHBS, I had no idea that my high school life would start to change from then. I got attracted from the environment of the campus and the swings and the trampling: everywhere seemed so perfect for a student’s learning place. Later, we got to the point to talk to Mrs. Liu. I was afraid because all the previous schools denied us during this stage. But what surprised me was that she said she actually understood students like me and she accepted students like me! I loved her so much for a second because SHBS gave me a chance!

第二天,8月25日,中午12点51分,当我第一次踏入上海宏润博源学校时,我全然不知我的高中生活将从那时开始改变。我被校园的环境吸引住了, 从秋千到蹦床,处处都似乎是适合学习的完美场所。后来,我们直接与刘刘校长交谈,我担心,因为以前的学校在这个阶段都拒收我们。但令我惊讶的是,她说她其实理解像我这样的学生也她接受像我这样的学生!我一下子爱上了她,因为宏润博源学校给了我一个机会!

I moved into the dorms immediately and I could never imagine how quickly we made the decision. SHBS gave me so many chances that my other friends who studied at home couldn’t get! I founded my own speech club; I attended the sportsmanship and recital competition; I became hostess for times; and most importantly, I made a group of smart, funny, helpful, caring amazing friends! They changed my life and made my life colorful! SHBS gave me harvest!

我立刻搬进了宿舍,我无法想象我们做出这个决定有多快。宏润博源给我了太多我那些居家学习的朋友所得不到的机会!我创建了自己的演讲社团; 我参加了运动会和朗诵比赛;我多次担任学校活动的女主持人;最重要的是,我交到了一群聪明、风趣、乐于助人、关爱他人的好朋友 他们改变了我的生活,使我的生活变得丰富多彩!宏润博源让我收获颇丰!

“Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what ’s next.” Don’t give up when feeling miserable. Give it a last chance, and maybe the next thing is the one that is the best. 

“生活就像一盒巧克力,你永远不知道接下来会发生什么。”当你感到痛苦时,不要放弃。把握最后一次机会,也许下一件事是最好的。
