When I was in my fourth year of teaching,I was also(and am still)a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year,I had a student,John,who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece,and seemed to be interested in sports,so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before,I did believe that he could do well in any event,and that I would be willing to coach him in whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer,and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later,I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player,winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking,“John,I really appreciate that you came out for the track team,but why didn’t you play tennis instead?It seems that would interest you a lot more,since you’re so good at it.”John answered,“Well,I like tennis,but you told me that you believed in me,and that you thought I could do well in track,so I wanted to try it for that reason.”
From then on,I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical(挑剔的)students can be of themselves,I’ve found that a simple“I trust that you can do it!”can go a long way!
