环境的力量——父母眼中的Joe
序言：2019年Joe通过雷梭勒家族办公室教育事业部的协助加入了莱蒙国际学校10年级，成为一名优秀的学生。在老师眼里Joe总是那么阳光自信，积极参加学校的各种活动，结伴各国学生。在同学眼里的Joe品学兼优，经常热心地帮助朋友一起解决学业上及生活上的问题。Joe即将在今年夏天结束自己在莱蒙的第一学年的学习。Joe的妈妈特撰此文，将自己眼中的儿子的模样，以及入读莱蒙后孩子最真实的变化与感受分享给我们。
见证孩子成长，树立人生目标
Joe从小就是一个爱好广泛的男孩。他爱看书、爱运动、爱下棋、爱听音乐、爱唱歌、爱探索、爱思考、爱听历史评书、爱和朋友们玩卡牌游戏.....在孩子的成长过程中我们非常注重培养他的独立学习能力以及良好的学习、生活习惯，他一直以来学习目标明确、学习效率很高。但随着年龄的慢慢长大，他渴望接受更适合他的、全面发展并富有挑战性的教育。初中毕业，在雷梭勒家族办公室的帮助下Joe如愿开启了他梦寐以求的瑞士高中留学生活。
Joe在国内一直在公立学校就读，但我们从他一年级起，就给他灌输地球村的概念，培养他国际化的思维，因为随着中国不断发展开放，零零后长大一定要融入国际化的发展洪流。我们非常注重Joe的英语学习，从小带着他读英文图书、了解世界文化，利用假期参与国际游学活动，提高国际文化认同感和英语运用能力。Joe非常渴望去瑞士读书，在申请面试时，十分积极主动，尽全力用英语表达自己的想法，顺利通过了学校的面试。中考完的暑假，为了突破德语零基础，又上了一个多月的德语学习班。眼看即将开学，看着Joe自信满满的样子，作为家长的我还是紧张地为他捏了一把汗。
父母在，不远游，游必有方
儿行千里母担忧，身为家长的我们担心他毕竟不是国际学校学生，去了英语交流能力差，听不懂课、成绩跟不上、自信心受到打击怎么办？生活中遇到问题无法沟通解决怎么办？万一生病了，不会给医生表达清楚怎么办......我带着忐忑不安的心情送Joe到了学校，参加了两天的开学典礼活动，就离开了，留下他一人闯他的新世界。回国后，我们每天与他沟通，小心翼翼的鼓励着他，生怕他从我们家长的话语中听出我们的担心与不安，影响他在新环境中成长的自信。Joe倒是总回复说：“非常好！没问题！不用担心！”
循序渐进，脚踏实地
很快，一个月过去了，Joe激动地给我们说：“妈妈，今天开住宿生大会，老师的全英文讲话我居然全部都听懂了！”果然在国际环境潜移默化的影响下，孩子的语言能力提高神速。语言适应期的第一个月中，听得懂才是最重要的第一步。慢慢地，Joe无论是在英语写作还是在口语表达上都上了一个台阶，每周都会用英文给父母写一篇周报，讲述身边发生的故事。Joe似乎摸索出了学校的学习规律。在莱蒙学校，学生们都是一边学习新的知识，一边也要对旧的知识进行复习，几乎每周都要考试，每次测试的平均分就是这个学期的最终成绩。对于上进心强的孩子来说，每一堂课的听讲和测试都马虎不得。
度过了适应期，看着Joe每天都乐在其中，我们也甚是欣慰。这意味着他已经开启并融入了全新的独立生活，自己管理自己的物品、自己洗衣服、照顾自己，老师和宿舍家长都是训练有素的教育专家。Joe的独立性、学业、心理、身体、国际视野都在稳步提升。转眼，第二学期已经结束。Joe也完全适应了留学生活，把自己的时间安排的高效并张弛有度，结识了来自世界各地的朋友，参与了很多以前从未体验的活动，学习也从逐步适应到取得High Honor的优异成绩。
环境助力成长，距离产生美好
14岁的男孩，褪去了可爱，只留下追求成熟和自我的倔强，他的青涩在青春期被无限放大，与家长之间的大、小冲突在所难免。瑞士留学之路虽然拉开了我们之间的距离，却使我们的心贴的更近，交流更顺畅。青春期的孩子，心理陪伴比物理陪伴来得更重要！对于身为家长的我来说，离开了朝夕相处14年的儿子，也从围着孩子为中心的生活，逐步调整自己的生活规律，也像Joe一样重新开启了另一个新的生活篇章。环境真是个神奇的力量，环境会带来很多改变，但选择好的环境却至关重要，期待并相信Joe在新的环境里变为越来越好的自己！同时，Joe也像我的眼睛，让我有了新的视角认识世界，感谢Joe的热情和永不服输、乐于挑战的勇气，也感谢瑞士教育可以让Joe在国际化的舞台上拓宽视野增长见识，成为更优秀的人！

Original English Texts
Joe has been a boy with wide interests since he was a child. He loves reading, sport, chess, music, singing, exploring, thinking, listening to historical storytelling, playing card games with friends...
During his childhood, we attached great importance to his independent learning ability and good habits in study and living. He had always had clear goals in what he wants to learn and studied with efficiency. But as he grew older, he was eager to receive a more comprehensive and challenging education that best suits him.
After graduating from junior high school, with the help of La Soleille Family Office, Joe’s dream of studying in an international school in Switzerland came true.
Joe had been studying in public schools in China, but we had instilled in him the concept of a global village since the first day in school and encouraged his global thinking. We believed that with China's continuous development and opening up, his generation must be integrated into international community. To help him learn English, we gave him many English books to read which helped him to understand different cultures in the world. Since he was young, we had sent him for study tours during school holidays to improve his international cultural identity and ability to use English.
Joe was very eager to study in Switzerland. In his interview with the CDL, he was very motivated and did his best to express his thoughts in English and passed the school interview smoothly. In the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, in order to break through the zero basics of German, he took a German course for more than a month. Time flies and the school open day of CDL is approaching. Seeing Joe's self-confidence, as a parent, I still worry a lot about his new life.
“If you have to travel afar, then go with a reason.”
A Chinese saying goes, "a mother worries about her children traveling thousands of miles." As parents, we are worried that he is not an international school student after all. What if he cannot communicate well in English? Can he fully understand the teachings in the classes? What if he fails to keep up with academy study? Will he suffer from self-confidence? If he is sick, will he be able to express clearly to the doctor...
I sent Joe to the school with anxiety, took part in the two-day opening ceremony, and then left, leaving him to break into his new world alone.
After returning to China from Switzerland, we talked with Joe every day to give him encouragement. We were very careful, just for fear that he would feel our worries and anxiety from our words which may affect his confidence in his life in the new environment. Nevertheless, Joe always replied, "Very good! No problem! Don't worry!"
Even though we could see him sharing photos of exciting and dazzling activities on weekends and enjoying his life every day, as parents, we all had doubts. Was he really doing so well? We knew that the change from the Chinese education system to an international system lectured in English was actually quite a big challenge. The changes in the living environment and the teaching language would have big impact to a child's academic performance. But we didn't see Joe having any problem on this. He appeared to be curious about everything. He wanted to participate in every event that he hadn't experienced before. Every time he participated, he would share with me and dad his experiences, and that he had made a lot of international friends. It seemed that he was truly integrated into the “Little United Nations”.
Soon, a month passed, Joe called us excitedly: "Mom, I had a boarding student conference today, I can understand the full English speeches of the teacher!" Sure enough, in such an internationalized environment, the child's language ability had improved rapidly. In the first month of the language adaptation period, understanding is the most important first step. Step by step, Joe had made some progress in both English writing and oral expression, and he would write a weekly report in English to us about the story that happened around him. Joe seemed to have figured out the rules of school learning. At CDL, students learn new knowledge with review old knowledge at the same time. They take exams almost every week. The average score of each test is the final grade of this semester. For motivated children, the test of each class is very important.
Joe has passed the adaptation period and we are very relieved to see him enjoying his life every day. This means that he has started and integrated into a new independent life, managing his own items and washing his own clothes by himself, and taking care of himself. The teacher and dormitory parents are all well-trained education experts. We have seen steady development in his independence and academic study, as well as from psychological, physical and international outlook perspectives. In a flash, the second semester is over. Joe is also fully adapted to his study abroad, and has organized his time efficiently while enjoying his relaxations. He has made friends with people from all over the world, participated in many activities that he has never experienced before, and his study has gradually improved from adaption period to achieving outstanding results of High Honor.
“Environment makes you grow. Distance makes good things happen.”
The 14-year-old boy whose cuteness has faded away, has left in him only rigid pursuit of maturity and ego. His immaturity was infinitely amplified during adolescence, and big or small conflicts with parents are inevitable. Although the road to study abroad in Switzerland has kept us apart, it has made our hearts closer and our communication smoother. In adolescent children, psychological companionship is more important than physical companionship!
For me, as a parent, without my 14-year-old son by my side, I have gradually adjusted my life pattern from a child-centered life, and started a new chapter in my life, just like Joe did.
The environment always has its magical power which brings a lot of changes, and choosing a good environment is very important. We expect and believe that Joe will become a better self in the new environment! At the same time, Joe is also like my eyes, who enables me to see the world from a new perspective. I am grateful for Joe's enthusiasm and courage of never giving in to defeat and being ready to take challenges. I am also grateful for the Swiss education, which enables Joe to broaden his vision and expand his knowledge on the international stage and make him a better man.
