时间真快，记得Peter是2014年9月16日开始在C&T学习的，两年过去了，Peter不仅在学习上取得了进步，更重要的是通过C&T的课程孩子的心智更加成熟和健康。Debate课程加强了Peter的自信和参与意识， YBB项目让他更具责任感、共情能力与合作意识，孩子的点滴进步与C&T的教育理念、实施措施和全体老师们的辛勤付出密不可分，作为家长对此表示由衷的感谢和钦佩！ 在此我特别想和大家分享的是，在陪伴孩子在C&T的学习过程中，作为家长我自身也受益匪浅。虽然我也是一个高校教师，但面对青春期像刺猬一样的儿子，我变成了一个焦虑不安的妈妈，为此我经常和滕老师就孩子的问题交流探讨，从中得到了很多启示。感受最深的一点是：之前我比较急躁总想来一套“霹雳拳”迅速将儿子身上的刺连根拔起，结果总是两败俱伤。滕老师给我的理念是：管理情绪，心平气和地“打太极”，最后一定能“至柔克至坚”。坦率地讲，这对心急口快的我来说的确也是一种历练，曾经不止一次在沟通过程中我向滕老师承认错误说：“我又犯急了！”这其中我自身体会到作为家长改变自身都需要一个痛苦蜕变的过程，何况对一个青春期叛逆的孩子呢？孩子也许真是太慢太皮，但是家长真是不能太急太躁！ 两年过去了，孩子在C&T成长，我也在C&T成长，世界上最美妙的就是是和孩子一起成长！ 所以，感谢滕老师和她创办的C&T！

Dear Mrs. Teng,
Words can't even begin to express the gratitude I feel towards you. You've watched and helped me grow ever since I first set foot in your debate class as a small, stubborn 9th grader. You've allowed me to pursue my own path even when I was blatantly being stubborn and irritable. You stood with me through all of this and still supported me. You allowed me to participate in the amazing YBB program and helped open my eyes to all these other underprivileged, but extremely brave souls in the world.
I'm excited to say that I've been accepted to Northwestern University's class of 2020, my dream school. I am so grateful to you for writing a recommendation for me, and will be forever indebted to all that you have taught me through the years. I say this with all my heart: Thank you Mrs. Teng, for all that you have done and continue to do for me!
Sincerely,
Oliver Hu

Dear Ruyan,
What a delightful lunch with you yesterday. You bring such engagement, learning and possibilities to so many people here in MD and in China. The seeds of your dreams have bloomed and continue to expand connections where it is important. Bridging so many communities you do. Thank you for brightening my afternoon and memories that follow….dreaming of all the possible creative and technical projects unrealized in institutions!
Happy Weekend Holiday with your dear family.
Always,
Deborah Rittenhouse

你好茹燕， 刚刚参加我老大的婚礼回来，向你报告一个好消息：立在他哥哥的婚礼上给了一个使很多人都掉泪的讲话。你知道的，立原来在这方面较差，这次所以能讲那么好，我相信跟他几年前在C&T上演讲课有关。尽管当时没有看到那么大的提高，但这种学习与训练给了他今后成长的可能。他这次讲得沉着，幽默；他的用词，语气 停顿，..... 抓住了听众的心... 我为立的进步高兴，为我自己付出的心血得到回报感到满足，相信你也会欣慰的。 谢谢！
