[原创]飞翔吧，少年！一次旅行的人生开启

沃得前言：

      
       在前一篇文章中，Shawn和我们谈到他和同学们要求旅行的事情。那这是怎样的一次旅行呢？这次旅行Shawn有哪些收获呢？旅行归来，Shawn的文章也来了！shawn的这次旅行，是他人生第一次独立的、没有父母陪伴的旅途，那作为Shawn的妈妈——韩老师又是怎样看待这件事的？我一起来看看吧！
      
       旅途归来，Shawn如是说：
      
       So, I have come back from Quebec to my house a couple of days ago. Now you see the purpose of this trip is to learn the culture of the province like I said before. We have visited a lot of sites where special events happened like wars between the English and the French and how the certain famous generals of strategies went out. We walked for long periods of time stopping at certain places to look at an area that has a lot of meanings behind it. We normally leave the hotel that we stay in at eight o’clock in the morning and go back for a break in the afternoon then go for supper. 
      
       The students don’t have to pay for the supper or breakfast but they do. However, they have to pay for their own lunches. That’s also when we get our free time to go exploring in the certain parts of Quebec and meet in a certain spot within an hour or so. In that time we get to do anything we want except for the obvious like illegal stuff and what not. We also can not be alone and have to be within a group of people for the multiple safety reasons and so that not one person gets lost. It’s an educational and fun moment when you get to go into parts of the world that you do not know very well with your friends, to have fun while learning some things about it which could be very fascinating in the future if you decide to look into it a little more in the future like high school or university if you want to study these things. These trips open a new door for you to have a chance to go through and make it a part of your life but whether you go through with it or not is your choice.
       《韩老师有话说》
      
       关于少年肖恩
      
       在Shawn的这次毕业旅行之前，我一直都不知道竟然7，8年级的学生（北美初中毕业生）也会有一场不大不小（三夜四天）的旅游。本来想这只是一次出行旅游，没什么特别的，结果Shawn的兴奋却大大出乎我的意料。
      
       无论是高中毕业，还是大学学业的完成，都是人生中非常具有意义、值得庆贺的事情，而和同窗多年的同学们一起去旅行，意义就更加不同寻常了。
      
       魁北克，作为加拿大独具法国风情的特殊省份，确实是一个旅游圣地，我们曾经在两年的假期里带着孩子们去玩儿过。本以为Shawn会觉得boring，不愿“旧地重游”，我还在内心盘算着怎么样鼓励他去参加集体活动呢。在我的内心，我是非常支持和愿意鼓励Shawn积极参加同学活动的。没想到，他兴奋地跟我说，毕业旅行一定要去！看来我的担心是多余的了。
      
       出发的前一个晚上，很少早睡的少年肖恩竟然6点半就睡觉了，而我原本的想法是，他会一宿不睡，然后到长途车上狂睡10个小时！第二天一早，我们全家5点钟起床，准备和他做个正式的行前教育，毕竟是第一次独自出门。结果，他兴奋地冲下楼，兴高采烈地对我说，“我终于要走了！哈哈哈哈！”
      
       哎呀，原来他早憋着“离家出走”的想法呢！
      
       心中有些失落，但是少年肖恩似乎并没有注意到我的小纠结，说了再见就上车走了。做父母的既想看到孩子的成长，又放不下多年来作为父母的那颗关切的心，可是，少年，正在成长！
      
       第一次，我知道13岁的少年肖恩不再是只想待在家里，或者粘着父母的小屁孩儿了。长大了的少年，有了独立去闯天下的勇气......这次初中毕业旅行，让我重新认识了进入青春期的少年，不错！
