报告袁老师，
儿子读完偶像的自传就去训练了。刚才回来很认真地对我说： 妈妈，我不应该把所有的时间都花在做针线活上（一门课的作业，明天能爬上来就在为人父母里介绍），做针线活事考不上大学的。
我自然是
偶像的力量果然是无穷地！ |

| 呵呵, 春月, 你当Kevin没做过针线活儿? 是上初中时的一门副科, 我还给他照了照片呢. 缝了个四不象的动物, 现在还躺在他的closet里呢. 你的儿子还挺有公益心的. 我鼓励他多去罐水. |

小时候的熏陶就是有很大的作用阿，不然也就不会有 这样的感慨了 Every day, it becomes more and more apparent to me that the experiences I had when I was young really stayed to help me with my studies in college. |

先抓个重点学, 听说读写不要一起来. 你觉得你现在最需要的是那部分? 我们可以帮你定个学习计划. 原帖由 zoe 于 2007-2-7 09:20 发表 我的基礎還可以,可是由於畢業兩年中用的很少,現在好多用法和單詞都忘記了,我該怎麼把英文再撿起來呢?請老師們幫幫忙吧!`謝謝了! |

| 我背单词的能力差, 而且恨之入骨. 我记词汇是因为读了很多小说, 而且同时还学会了地道的用法. 很多时候硬背下来, 不一定会使用. 如果你能背, 那就花时间背一些常用的, 但最终还是要靠阅读来真正掌握用法. 你看这里的口语交流对你有帮助吗? 你有什么要求也可以提出来. 不能面对面地教口语是个很大的教学障碍, 所以我们给你引导, 要靠你自己多努力. |

Thank you Kevin for taking time to share your story with us. I can’t wait to hear from you again about your college life.
It’s really hard these days for kids to go to an Ivy League school not mention the top ones. Besides the talents, you must have paid a lot of time and efforts to get in MIT. Now, I have a few questions for you. Do you think it worth the efforts and all those hours of study and preparation for competitions, etc, to get where you are today? If let you give advice to a teenager on how she should balance her study and other things, what would you say? If you want to change 2 things or do them differently from middle school up, what would they be and how would you do them differently.
I ask the questions with my daughters in my mind. They are 13 and 11. As parents, we always want our kids to reach their potentials, to be the best they can be. At the same time, we also want them to be well rounded, have fun, and enjoy their childhood. To reach that is not an easy task. High expectations often bring high level of stress both on the parents and the kids. We are constantly thinking, learning, and struggling with ourselves on how to balance our life. It’s refreshing if we can get insights from kids like you who are high achievers and just grow out of childhood. In many ways, parents are like a bunch of old guys who set up a big trap for their kids. |
翼博故事: 自我介绍
My name is Kevin Wang and I'm currently a third year student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying computer science. I was born in Beijing, China and lived there with my grandparents until I was five years old, when I moved to America to join my parents who were attending graduate school. I grew up in the sleepy little town of Stony Brook, NY and attended a relatively well-to-do public high school on Long Island.
It was during my upbringing that I first became interested in computers. In all honesty, I was first attracted by the fun games (most notably flight simulators) that you could play on them. Not shortly after we got our top of the line machine in 1995 (a Pentium-II 233 MHz!), my dad introduced me to (or rather forced upon me) Perl, my first programming language. At the time, I wasn't too terribly interested in learning how to program, and I only read through the book to do the assignments my dad gave me. Even as I learned how to program at the time, I didn't enjoy it as my own personal passion until I took a computer science class in high school. By then, programming was something that I really appreciated as a fun mental exercise and powerful problem solving tool.
In hindsight, the beginning stages of my computer science "career" were quite painful, but everyday at MIT I'm thankful for having gone through the experience. Most computer science majors here have extensive electronics or programming experience, and knowing the ins and outs of good coding technique only puts you on par with everybody else. Every day, it becomes more and more apparent to me that the experiences I had when I was young really stayed to help me with my studies in college.
One other great experience I had in high school I'd like to share is a research project I worked on with a wonderful friend, mentor, and Professor named Carlos Simmerling. My area of research was computational chemistry, mainly simulating protein folding on supercomputers. This research is important because it is providing insight the mechanisms by which proteins in the human body are transformed from their inactive structure when they are first synthesized in the body, to a fully functional and active enzyme that performs invaluable functions such as digesting food, fighting off viruses, and the like. The project was a great fit for me because it was at the confluence of computer science and biology, two fields that I was very interested in at the time. This made the work seem more like fun, and I loved spending long hours at the lab writing my code and reviewing simulation results.
The project was also a great boost to my college application. MIT practically expects its applicants to have had research experience in high school. Furthermore, Prof. Simmerling wrote me one of the most spectacular recommendation letters imaginable for my college application! to this day, I still credit him with getting me into college.
Life at MIT has been pretty interesting, but let's save that for another day. Thank you for reading my mother's blog, and I'd like to hear some of your comments!
Best regards,
Kevin
