An Unforgettable Parents Meeting-----一次难忘的家长会

In my childhood, parents meeting were always the thing I hated most. Thinking of parents meetings , I would think of all my unpleasant days—the endless words Mum had nagged at me . I would not be likely to be praised, but only be blamed after each parents meeting.

One year ago, I chose a boarding school far from home, hoping to avoid telling everything to my parents. As a consequence, each time I went home, I couldn’t find any topic we were all interested in. Despite the short time we spent together every week, it was silence rather than delight that filled our house. ‘Was it the so-called generation gap?’ I couldn’t stop wondering.

Time passed quickly and winter came again. It was high time to have another annoying parents meeting. One afternoon, our head teacher, Mr. Zhao , told us that we would hold a special parents meeting this time—all the students would be expected to attend it together with their parents.

I was curious to know what would happen on that day. Then, the exciting moment I was looking forward to came.

Entering the multi-media classroom, we heard a beautiful piece of music flowing in the air. Miss Wang, our psychology teacher stood in front of us. She invited all the parents to come to the stage, and to face straight up to their own children. At that moment, I made eye contact with my mother. Next, they were asked to close their eyes. Miss Wang held a passage and started to read emotionally for us “you are their angels. You spare no efforts to protect your children. Here , I appreciate all of you—our lovely parents!” It was not until then did I realize, how much courage it must have taken for years to subject themselves to both their working stress and my impassiveness. As the music was ending, I rushed onto the stage and tied my blue ribbon round my mother’s wrist, which showed my grateful heart.

At the end of the meeting, each of us wrote a letter to our parents respectively. In my letter, I wrote down all my life’s learning troubles to my mother. To my surprise, her reply was a full outpouring of understanding and love. She told me that the reason why they were so strict with me was out of love that they hoped they could help fulfill their daughter’s dream. At that moment, I blamed myself, how innocent and bad I am. I’ll always remember that special parents meeting at the bottom of my heart. Knowing that Dad and Mum will always be by my side, I’ll be able to be a brave seeker for rainbows after any storms.

童年时， 家长会当属我最痛恨的事之一了。一想到家长会，脑海中便浮现出那一次次不愉快的经历——母亲喋喋不休的唠叨。那不会是表扬，只会是些批评的话语。

一年前，我选择了一所离家很远的寄宿制学校， 想要避开件件事都要向父母汇报的麻烦。正因如此，每次回到家， 我与父母很难找到共同话题。 尽管每个礼拜我们一家三口在一起的时间很少， 但即使是在这样宝贵的时间里，家里没了欢声笑语，取而代之的却是沉默。难道这就是人们所谓的“代沟”，我真的想知道。

时间荏苒，冬季又到了。也到了要开家长会的时间。一天下午，班主任赵老师告诉我们这一次班里将举行一次特别的家长会——我们将和家长们一同参加这次会议。

这样的家长会深深地吸引了我们。盼啊，盼啊，期待已久的家长会终于来到了。

进入多媒体教室，优美的音乐声传入了耳朵。心理课王老师，站在前面。她让所有的家长上台，与自己的孩子面对面。 接着，她让家长们闭上眼睛，她的手中握着一篇文章， 为我们朗读起来。“你们是他们的天使，你们竭尽所能的去保护你们的孩子。 在这里，我要感谢你们——我们可爱的家长！”王老师的声音里，饱含激情。霎那间，我突然意识到，一直以来，我的父母需要用一种怎样的勇气来面对我的冷漠和他们工作上的压力。 当音乐停止的时候， 我冲到台前， 将一条蓝色丝带系到了妈妈的手腕上，这条丝带代表了我对她的感激。

家长会即将结束的时候，我们每一个人都写了一封信送给自己的父母。 在我的信中， 我向妈妈倾诉了成长中的困惑，令我感到高兴的是，母亲的回信中倾注了对我的爱。她告诉我，从小到大，父亲和她所以这样严格地要求我 ， 是因为他们希望在他们的帮助下实现女儿自己的梦想。那一刻，我觉得自己太不懂事了，心里惭愧极了。我想我会永远在心里记住这次特别的家长会。也会永远做一个暴风雨后勇敢追寻彩虹的人，因为我知道，我的父亲母亲永远支持我。
