最震撼的一課---美國教室。(English Version below)
星期六早上的芭蕾課在接近尾聲的時候，老師要大家分組一起旋轉、跳躍，以優雅的舞姿穿越教室。一組接著一組，跟著優美的古典樂拍子，無論如何都要面帶笑容、華麗向前。課堂上充滿了各式各樣的學生，8歲金髮女孩、10歲中國裔女孩、12歲南亞裔女孩、23歲韓國女孩、27歲非裔女孩、29歲台妹我本人、35歲金髮男同學、40歲紅髮氣質辣媽、開心慈祥的老太太...等。而老師被稱為「派翠莎女士」則是我所見過學識最淵博、身體超菁壯、經驗特豐富、非常戲劇化、不可思議的幽默、又超級愛八卦的一位六十幾歲金髮女人，習舞超過50年，每天堅持教課六∼八小時。
在最後一組轉圈的時候，那位紅髮辣媽一時失去平衡而跌坐在地，撞出了很大的碰地一聲。她臉紅的攤攤手、難為情的一笑，擺出無可奈何的表情。而我則是立刻別過頭去，不好意思和她對到眼，因為不確定該用什麼樣的表情反應。
這時老師邊搓著雙手、邊喜孜孜地走過來對著她菁英技巧班的女孩們叫道：女孩們，在我們高級技巧班上要是有同學跌倒了我們該怎麼做呢？
這時所有年紀低於16的女孩們一起開心的拍手鼓舞起來，投以愛慕的眼光。
派翠莎女士：沒錯! 我們要拍手叫好，大家一起來! 鼓掌!!
全場一起對著那位跌倒又站起來了的辣媽微笑拍手。
派翠莎女士接著：然後這個時候呢，老師會走到其他女孩們前面，對著著他們說...
邊走邊演，對著班上最努力、最進階的一位美麗女孩，並指著辣媽說：她試過了。她勇於嘗試，冒著可能會摔倒的風險，嘗試更難的動作，為了變得更好、追求進步。
再指著其他的女孩們， 一個個問道: 你們為什麼都不去摔倒? 為什麼不去嘗試? 為什麼不敢冒險? 大家都應該向她學習，我們一起謝謝她這麼認真！
我差點淚崩。
瞬間明白了那些美國同學們臉上一直以來有的那種自信的表情從何而來。那種不管別人眼光、不怕摔倒、不怕失敗、只一心追求自己當下的努力足不足夠的每一個時刻，因為只有自己的努力是重要的，其他什麼都不值得花心思考慮。摔倒表示你在嘗試，嘗試表示你離進步更近，而感到舒服並不會讓你往前任何一點。
我好希望我小時候摔倒的時候有人這樣激勵我，並把它當成一個好的教育機會，讓大家一起更勇於嘗試。不過一切都還不遲，這是我來美國三年學到最震撼的一課。對了，再過兩天就三週年了。只想和大家分享一下，就這樣。

The most shocking lesson - the American classroom.
At the end of the ballet class on Saturday morning, the teacher asked everyone to spin, jump, and dance through the classroom elegantly. One group after another, following the beautiful classical music tempo, no matter what happens, always smiling, and looking fabulous. The class is full of all kinds of students, 8 year old blonde girl, 10 year old Chinese american girl, 12 year old South Asian american girl, 23 year old Korean girl, 27 year old African american girl, 29 year old Taiwanese moi, 35 years old blonde male classmate, 40-year-oldish red-haired temperament hot mom, happy ladies in their fifties ...etc. The teacher is called "Ms. Patricia", who is a sixty-something blonde, the most knowledgeable woman I have seen with super-strong body, the most experienced in teaching, very dramatic, incredibly humorous, and girl, she loves to gossip. She has also been practicing ballet for more than 50 years, and insisting on teaching for six to eight hours a day.
While the very last group was finishing up their turns, the red-haired hot mom lost her balance and fell to the floor, making a bump. She blushed, and smiled a little embarrassed, making this "Voila" gesture, and then stood up. On the other hand I felt a little embarrassed for her, so I smiled nervously and soon turned my head away because I wasn't sure what kind of expression I should've been reacting.
At this time, the teacher walked over, rubbing her both hands together, looking entertained and glanced at the girls in her elite class. She shouted: Girls, what do we do when someone falls in our tech class?
All the girls under the age of 16 started to clap their hands and show genuine admiration.
Ms. Patricia: That's right! We clap! Everyone come together! Applaud!!
The audience applauded and cheered for the hot mom who stood up after she fell.
Ms. Patricia went on: Usually at this time, the teacher will go to the other girls and say...
Acting while walking over to a beautiful girl who is the most advanced in the class, and pointed to the hot mom and said: she tried. She dared to try, risking the possibility of falling, trying harder moves, in order to become better and making more progress.
Then she pointed to other girls, one by one, asking: Why don't you fall? Why don't you try? Why not taking risks? Everyone should learn from her, and we thank her for trying so hard!
I almost burst into tears.
I instantly understood where the confident expressions that have always been on the faces of American classmates came from. Every single moment, doesn't matter what other people think, do not be afraid of falling, not afraid of failure, and only try to focus on this moment of effort, are you doing enough? Because only your effort is important, and nothing else is worth worrying. Falling means you are trying, trying means that you are closer to progress, and feeling comfortable doesn't let you go any further.
I wished that someone had said something like this to motivate me when I was a child who fell hard and using it as a good educational opportunity to encourage everyone else to try. But nothing is ever too late, this is the most shocking lesson (in the best way) I have learned in the United States after almost three years. By the way, in the next couple of days it'd be three years since I moved from home.
Just wanted to share with you, this.
