2、hMy son stared stoically out the window of the car. Looking closely, I saw the tracks of earlier tears on his cheeks. What had happened? He d been fine when I dropped him off at school. What could have gone so wrong in the past seven hours? How could he possibly look so sad when he should be so happ
3、y?Two weeks previously, my son had been selected for a scholarship to attend the college of his choice because of his academic accomplishments and community service. Our entire family had been in a celebratory mode. We were so grateful for the news. It was such a wonderful achievement and relief to
4、know we would get financial assistance for his college education.So what had gone wrong? Why such a sad face and downcast eyes?I finally got the answer after a few hours of probing. I learned that my son s scholarship news had generated jealousy among his friends. Not only were these classmates unsu
5、pportive, but their comments reflected resentment that he was thinking about ugoing away” to college. Since he was “a nerd and “so rich” now, they said he might as well go away, because he wasn t welcome with them anymore.As his mother, I felt I should know how to make everything better, but I didn
6、t. The mocking and bullying didn t make sense to me. I kept wondering how something so positive had been twisted into something so negative. I searched for words of comfort, but nothing I said helped my son.When the scholarship had first been announced, my son s school was as excited and proud as we
7、 were. The award reflected positively on the curriculum, teachers, and staff. The school had held a ceremony for the announcement. The news had been printed in the school paper, and a news release was sent to the media. I felt it must have been that publicity that triggered the recent comments 一 and
8、, in the ensuing days, the negative rhetoric just kept coming.For the first time in his life, my son did not want to go to school. He began saying he was not even sure he wanted to go to college. Nothing I said or did made any difference. Every day, he seemed more dispirited and downhearted. His sad
9、ness hung like a gray cloud over our whole family.Nothing his teachers said had much impact either. Both his counselor and his principal offered words of encouragement, but there was not any change. The slump in his shoulders and the sadness in his eyes remained.The taunts from his peers also kept c
10、oming.After a few weeks, I felt my son was becoming seriously depressed. His world was crumbling. When he announced that he wanted to give up the scholarship, I knew something had to be done.I decided to go up one more rung on the academic ladder and take him to visit the superintendent of schools.
11、I didn t know the superintendent, having encountered him only at a few academic functions and community events, but no one else in the school system had been able to change my son s outlook. I was desperate.The superintendent? s office was in a separate z血/strainre building, removed from the high-sc
12、hool campus. When we arrived, it was hard not to be impressed by the imposing and impressive surroundings. It was a very professional, successful atmosphere, and I felt fortunate this busy man had agreed to see us.Our initial interaction centered around introductions, school activities, and congratu
13、lations on my son s scholarship. The superintendent, however, seemed to sense what was wrong and why we were there. He began to address my son directly and maintain eye contact only with him. They talked about the merits of education, how it was hard to change one s surroundings, and the benefits of
14、 new challenges. I can t recall his exact words, but it was something along the lines of the following:uWhenever you decide to grow a little and extend yourself above the norm, there is always a danger you won t be the same. It s like the trees in the forest. When one tree decides to grow taller tha
15、n all rest, that tree is most likely to get hit by lightning. It s a chance you take. When people are different, it seems like they, re more likely to be attacked for those differences. I know this because when I was a teacher, I had no problems. I fit in with all the other teachers with whom I work
16、ed. I was surrounded by colleagues and friends. I wanted to be a principal, however, and when I achieved that goal, I found some of my colleagues and friends resented my advancement.”I remember wondering where he was going with this, but I noticed my son was sitting up in his chair and listening int
17、ently. He was obviously interested in this man s perspectire, so the superintendent went on.“When 1 decided to become the superintendent of all the schools in the system, it was even worse. I remember the resentment* the lack of encouragement. I know what you re feeling, but you can t let those feel
18、ings keep you from your goals 一 because I 11 tell you a secret. You know those trees I mentioned, well, when you do grow taller, and you rise above all the other trees in the forest, you realize there is so much more to see. Your view is better than ever. You can see the sky, the stars, and everythi
19、ng else beyond your little local forest. Once you see what s out there, you realize you can, t go back. You ve seen it, and you re not the same. You want to grow taller and extend yourself even further because you want to see more. You want to do more. Don t be afraid to grow, son. In the long run,
20、you won t regret it. I never have. ”“When you do grow taller, and you rise above all the other trees in the forest, you realize there is so much more to see.”Well, I don t know if it was him, his words, the office, or the trees in the forest, but my son finally smiled. He shook hands with the superi
21、ntendent, stood up a little taller, and, within a few days, returned to the bright, smiling, effervescent boy we d always known.In the weeks that followed, I tried to figure out what the difference was and why this man s advice had resonated. I believe my error was in downplaying the problem and tel
