帕萨迪纳的诗意邂逅

”


金秋十月，宋庆龄学校的学子们踏上了一场心灵与智慧的双重旅行，前往美国加利福尼亚州的帕萨迪纳市，与拉萨尔高中的师生们共同经历了一段难忘的文化交融之旅。

当飞机缓缓降落，迎接我们的是拉萨尔高中寄宿家庭的温暖怀抱。寄宿家庭用真挚的笑容和细致入微的关怀，为远道而来的我们打造了一个温馨如家的港湾。

在餐桌旁，大家共享美食，交流文化，每一个新学的短语、每一种独特的表达方式，都成为了连接彼此心灵的桥梁。寄宿家庭的热情好客，让我们深刻感受到了美国家庭的温馨与和谐。


在拉萨尔高中，我们受到了热烈欢迎，仿佛踏入了一个充满创新与梦想的世界。医学实验室里，我们用着与专业医护人员在培训中使用的相同假肢练习缝合手术，体验着医学的奥秘；工程实验室中，我们编程激光切割机，塑造着未来的模样；中文课堂上，我们化身为文化传播者，为拉萨尔的同学们搭建起了一座通往中国文化的桥梁。每一次尝试，每一次探索，都让我们对美国学校的学术氛围有了更深的理解与感悟。


帕萨迪纳的街头巷尾，也留下了我们的足迹。漫步在亨廷顿图书馆的艺术殿堂，沉醉于花园的芬芳与美丽；穿梭在克莱蒙特-麦肯纳学院的校园中，感受着学术的庄严与自由。寄宿家庭还为我们策划了种种活动，更是让这段旅程充满了欢声笑语与美好回忆。从海滩的嬉戏到水球比赛的激情，从环球影城的奇幻之旅到IN-AND-OUT汉堡店的美味品尝，每一次体验都让我们感受到了生活的多彩与美好。


在这场跨越文化的交流中，宋庆龄学校的学子们不仅分享了自己的文化和学校生活，更在与拉萨尔高中师生们的互动中，收获了深刻的友谊与理解。他们彼此倾听，彼此分享，用心灵去触碰那些看似遥远却又紧密相连的文化脉络。这种跨越国界的情感共鸣，让孩子们更加坚信：无论身处何方，人们都有着共同的学习、交流与成长的渴望。



这次帕萨迪纳之旅，不仅是一次学术与文化的探索，更是一次心灵的洗礼与成长，这是一次鼓励个人成长、激发好奇心并加深学生对世界理解的经历。它让孩子们学会了独立与适应，培养了开放的心态与同理心。在未来的日子里，他们将继续带着这份珍贵的经历与记忆，勇敢地走向世界的每一个角落，用爱与智慧去书写属于自己的精彩篇章。

A Journey of Discovery

Soong Ching Ling School Students’ Exchange Experience in Pasadena

”


A recent student exchange trip from SCLS to the United States proved to be an adventure filled with cultural exchange, personal growth, and unforgettable memories. During the October holiday, a group of five students from IDHS and six students from DDHS visited La Salle High School in Pasadena, California. The experience proved to be the perfect blend of education and cultural exploration, giving students the opportunity to learn about life in American schools and also to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.

From the moment they arrived, the SCLS students were warmly welcomed by their host families from La Salle and introduced to the sunny landscapes and bustling neighborhoods of Pasadena. Each host family went above and beyond, helping students quickly adjust to their temporary home and creating a comforting sense of community that would support them throughout their visit. 

Staying with host families allowed the students to experience Pasadena on a personal level, opening a window into the daily lives of local families. They shared meals, learned about American traditions, and even picked up some new phrases and expressions. The genuine kindness and hospitality of the host families made a lasting impression on the students, offering them not only a place to stay but also a second home.


At La Salle High School, SCLS students were welcomed with enthusiasm, and they were introduced to many of the school’s innovative learning programs. In the medical lab, they practiced surgical suturing using the same prosthetics that doctors and nurses use in their training. In the engineering lab, they saw how to program a laser cutter and a power mill to produce customized parts for engineering projects. In Chinese class, they helped to create an immersive language environment for their La Salle peers who had only just begun learning Chinese. By the end of the week, each student had gotten a unique look into academics at an American school.


The trip wasn’t just limited to school activities; students had the chance to explore some of Pasadena’s most iconic sites. In particular, students went to the famous Huntington Library, where they explored the facility’s numerous art museums and gardens. They also enjoyed a campus tour in the Claremont-McKenna college system, a group of 5 preeminent American liberal arts colleges. And of course, the students’ host families planned countless fun experiences for them: students played on the beach, went to water polo games, visited the Universal Studios theme park, sampled the food at IN-AND-OUT Burger, and much more.


Throughout their stay, SCLS students shared details about their own culture and school life, sparking engaging conversations with La Salle students and teachers. In return, La Salle students shared their own experiences, providing insight into American culture and traditions. The exchange of ideas and stories created a bridge between the two groups, fostering a sense of understanding and appreciation for their similarities and differences.



The SCLS student exchange trip to Pasadena was much more than an academic venture; it was an experience that encouraged personal growth, fostered curiosity, and deepened students’ understanding of the world. The experience helped students become more independent and adaptable, and it reinforced the importance of open-mindedness and empathy. Students saw that people from a much different school in a much different country still shared their desire to learn, connect, and grow. In this way, the exchange participants discovered new cultures, new friendships, and a little more about themselves.
