学写英文--梳理儿子的学习成长(3)

(2022-05-09 07:49:00) 下一个

那次医生检测后,得到的结论和我在网上查的一样。问题需要通过一个激光治疗解决。他们诊所没设备,要到更细的专业眼科诊所做。他推荐了一位他说很熟,他认为很好的医生。第二天,我就收到那位医生诊所的来电,约了评估时间。因为不放心,我在网上查了医生的资料。看到是位只有不到四十岁的黑人女医生时,我心开始不安。于是开始在网上找关于医生的信息。信息很少,只有两条,都是好评。但她行医的诊所差评一堆,只得了个2星半。看到差评的原因,都抱怨前台接待人员服务差,或是言语不够温和,或是打半天也没人接听,或是等了几小时,却被告知今天看不了了。

我得到一个6/15日的约位。告诉儿子,儿子说能不能找个早点的。于是第二天我打电话,接电话的女生口气确实不怎么柔和。”我看看有没有人取消,但可能性不大,你等等。“ 所以没抱多大希望的我在听到她说可以给我们提前到5/27日时,我真是高兴感谢得不得了。口气虽不那么温和,但能办成事就行了。

给儿子汇报工作后,儿子问还能不能再早点。于是第二天又打。”GOOD MORNING, THIS IS JULIE, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?" 电话里的声音还是冷冷的。

“GOOD MORNING, THIS IS ANOTHER JULIE..."

"WAIT, LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND AN EARLIER SPOT FOR YOU."

结果,她给我找了个5/17日的。还说下周头再打过来问看看,还能不能找到更早的。很令人满意的服务体验。

随后再查女医生的教育背景。

Graduated from Mayo medical school; residency in the University of North Carolina. GOOGLE, BAIDU双管齐下,心安了许多。原来MAYO就是大名顶顶的梅奥啊。

这事后我得到几个结论:

1。偏见人人都有

2。不能光看网上的评价就拒绝尝试

 

上周阳了,吃完泰立诺很快微轻的症状就消失了。第二天感觉如常,就照常出去走路。一路走,一路寻视着路边的景物。看着春天里日日常新的景颜,唯有感叹大自然的美妙神奇。思绪偶尔也会穿越回去年,前年,对比过往今朝周边社区发生的变化。”嘿,你好吗?“ 正在看着人家DOGWOOD的我,听到一声问候。停下来看,原来声音是从身边的车上传来的。车里坐的是那位走路时偶有遇见的黑人摄影师。认识他在2020年疫情年的行走中,我想因为疫情,让人们更加珍视社区间的人际交往活动。”我刚得了COVID“ 我对他说。”没事。最终我们每个人都会得。只要你健康就好。”淡淡的声音,平和的笑脸,他的反应还如往常一般。看来是这么回事,这病毒很狡猾,不断变异,以期捕获更多的人。

和家人朋友说,他们对我这么快好都很吃惊。我想或许是因为我平常几乎不吃药,所以一吃药就见效。加上我常年在户外行走,大自然增强了我的自身免疫力。想起过去几年,只在刚来这的前两年,冬天躲进健身房运动,后来的几年都是常年在外走。

 Year 2020-2021 was the most challenging year for schools and teachers. The coexistence of remote-teaching and in-person teaching exhausted educators. It’s understandable the schools couldn’t function as well as they used to be. His freshman year flied away quickly with not much interactions between school and parents.

I didn’t know much about his academy, but from his willingness being in school, I felt comfortable for him. I could tell he began attempting to be a hardworking person. That is all I care about.

One day, I read a story written by Sea breeze blows leisurely海风随意吹 in Wenxuecity, a Chinese literature website. The story was about a young man who was 25 years now. He has been diagnosed ADHD when he was young in China. For the kid’s sake, the family immigrated to US. Since the kid’s ADHD, he didn’t get good grades in school. He liked playing computer games, his parents accepted who he was, let him play. After graduation from high school, he went to a community college. There his logic intelligence was found and boosted by his math teacher. His growing maturity, motivation, and encouragement from his math teacher led him to start being a hardworking person. He graduated from the community college with a degree in computer science, then got a job in local high school, being in charge of the computer and internet security. The salary is not high, but good enough to take care a family.

 

Since the similarity between my son and that young man, I felt the story very encouraging for me. I thought that might be the road my son will go just in couple years.  The young man’s story told me even my son wouldn’t be acceptable by any regular colleges, he will be fine. He can go to community college like that boy did. If only he learns real skills there, he can find a job. 

 

 The more dramatic part of that young man’s life was how he found his fiancée. After ten years knowing as teammates in many video game competitions, finally they met in person and found they liked each other.  

 

I shared the story with my son. He listened quietly and showed interesting. “Who moved to whom?”   when I finished my sharing, he blurted out.

His response surprised me.  Is there a similar story in this 15 year old boy's secret life?

魏薇 回复 悄悄话 回复 'laopika' 的评论 : 谢谢皮卡老师!好得快得让我感到神奇,后面再无反复。我去年4月打针后,就没再打了。一直没太注意,也没得,还以为我不会得呢。得了,和儿子分坐餐桌两端,照样送他去学校(开车窗,戴口罩),他也没事。
