女儿的ACT考试过了两个礼拜了。女儿出考场就说她考得一般。老爸终于沉不住气,决定花8块钱,把分数提前拿到手。昨天在网上一看,嘿嘿,8块钱是浪费了。
女儿考前两个月,一来忙着准备她的computer program contest,一来为SATI考得不错而昏了头,没花多少时间复习准备,Science部分的成绩一直上不来,最后的结果是可想而知了。她拿到成绩也有些失望,比她在Kaplan的模拟考试还差一些。看到她的失望,老爸只好边开车,边唠叨了。
“嘿嘿,not so bad. still 97 percentile overall. You were over confident after your SAT I, right? I told you that you had to work hard for everything. How much you gain depends on how much effort you put. Now,tell me you still have a dream, a dream to go a school you like,right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, you still have time to make up your mind. I will do whatever to help you.”
。。。。。。。。。。。
到最后,当然还是老爸掏钱啦。买书呀,再报名考试呀。。。
今天送女儿上学,路上问她:“早给你说了,用心考一次,考好点,你这个summer可是自由多了。现在得重新准备,一个summer可有你忙了,要打工,要补习法语,要去summer camp, 要作volunteer, 要准备申请材料...看你怎么安排吧。”
女儿冲俺伸了个舌头。但愿她从这次重考里学会的不仅仅是“一分汗水,一分收获”。
