关于毕业，孩子们的100种想法 I About Graduation, 100 Thoughts from Children

01

在彼一米西湖校区，当我们问出“你觉得什么是毕业？”这个问题时，本以为会得到整齐划一的答案。可是你看，孩子们的心里，住着完全不同的世界。

Emma眨着大眼睛说：“毕业就是大班结束，小学开始了第一次课。”在她的想象里，毕业是一座桥，走过去，就是崭新的课堂。

Ian已经开始怀念了：“毕业就是离开大班了，见不到幼儿园的老师了，玩具也没有那么多了。”他数着即将告别的美好，每一件都舍不得。

康康认真地说：“毕业就是再也见不到我想念的老师，我想念的同学，我想念的学校。”他用了三个“想念”，每一个都是此刻最珍贵的感情。

还有更多的声音，像夏天的音符一样跳跃——

Justin把手里的积木轻轻放回筐子里，拍了拍手，像个完成大事的小大人：“幼儿园的东西学完了，结束了。”他的语气里有一种如释重负的轻松，仿佛刚刚读完了一本厚厚的书，轻轻合上最后一页。

Remi歪着脑袋，手指点着下巴，眼神里一半好奇一半紧张：“准备开始要去小学做很多作业了。”她在心里默默数着：语文作业、数学作业……会不会还有科学作业？数着数着，自己先笑了。

Holly的回答简单又干脆：“离开幼儿园。”说完就跑去玩了，仿佛这只是再平常不过的一件事。可是跑了两步又回头看了一眼教室门口，那一眼，好像又没那么简单。

Xenia已经开始手舞足蹈了：“去小学交更多新朋友！”他掰着手指数：一个同桌，两个前后桌，还有操场上的新朋友……“我要交满十个！”他宣布。

Jerry站在窗边，望着外面的天空，语气里充满希望：“开启新生活。”这三个字从他嘴里说出来，像一颗刚发芽的种子，在阳光下轻轻摇晃。

Simon伸出小手，一根一根手指头掰着数：“意味着要写100道题。”数到第五根手指的时候停住了，想了想，又换另一只手继续数。“100道题好多啊，”他说，“但是我可以写很快！”

Sia握着拳头，眼睛亮亮的：“是准备学更多知识。”他已经想好了，小学要学数学、学语文、学科学，还要学……“老师，小学有恐龙课吗？”他认真地问道。

Queena有点伤感地说: “毕业就是我离开彼一米了，我的妈妈很喜欢我学校”，她哭了。

你看，在孩子们心中，毕业是一百种滋味的混合——有不舍，有期待，有对未知的好奇，也有对长大的骄傲。

“毕业照想怎么拍？”这个问题一抛出去，教室里瞬间热闹起来。孩子们的想象力，飞到天南海北。

玥玥第一个举手：“背着Amanda老师拍！”这个画面太有爱了——孩子们要背着最爱的老师，让老师也做一回小朋友！

Ian已经开始设计造型了：“在学校大厅拍，穿变形金刚的衣服。”他要变身超级英雄，和最熟悉的学校大厅合影。

Emma的梦想很大：“去英国拍，穿婚纱裙拍。”在她的想象里，毕业照应该像公主一样美丽。

从幼儿园大厅到英国法国，从变形金刚到漂亮礼裙，孩子们要的不只是一张照片，而是一场属于他们自己的毕业大戏。还有4个月呢，这些有趣的创意，说不定都能实现！

03

“毕业旅行想去哪里？”这个问题，让孩子们的想象飞得更高更远。

Micky想去三亚、西安，Justin想去上海，Ruirui想去香港，Luna要去新疆，Jerry想去马来西亚，Remi要去西班牙，Quentin想去日本……

Emma、玥玥、Kyle、66、Leehom约好了：一起去上海！

Queena坚持她的法国梦。

Sunny想去三亚踩沙滩。

Anna要去新加坡。

Kangkang选了广西。

ΠΠ想回郴州老家。

文文的愿望最酷：“宇宙！”

Miumiu要去福建。

Bruce要去新疆。

Vince的梦想更远：“太阳星！”

从郴州到宇宙，从三亚到太阳星，孩子们的毕业旅行计划，跨越了山海，飞向了星辰。文文想去宇宙，Vince想去太阳星——也许有一天，他们真的能抵达。

When we asked, "What do you think graduation is?" we thought we would get the same answer from everyone. But look - every child's heart has a completely different world.  

Emma blinked her big eyes and said, "Graduation is when big class ends and primary school begins with the first lesson." In her imagination, graduation is a bridge - walk across it, and there's a brand new classroom.  

Ian was already feeling a little sad: "Graduation means leaving big class, not seeing kindergarten teachers anymore, and there won't be as many toys." He counted all the wonderful things he's about to say goodbye to - he doesn't want to let go of any of them.  

Kangkang said seriously, "Graduation means I won't see the teachers I miss, the classmates I miss, and the school I miss anymore." He used the word "miss" three times—every one is his most precious feeling right now.  

And there were more voices, jumping like summer notes -  

Justin gently put the building blocks back into the basket, patted his hands, and said like a little grown-up who had finished something big: "We've learned everything in kindergarten, it's over." His voice had a relaxed feeling, as if he had just closed a thick book after reading it all.  

Remi tilted her head, tapped her chin with her finger, her eyes half curious and half nervous: "We're going to start primary school and do lots of homework." She counted silently in her heart: Chinese homework, math homework... maybe science homework too? She counted and then laughed.  

Holly's answer was simple and direct: "Leave kindergarten." Then she ran off to play, as if it was just an ordinary thing. But after two steps, she looked back at the classroom door - that look seemed like maybe it wasn't so simple.  

Xenia started waving her arms and legs excitedly: "Go to primary school and make more new friends!" He counted on his fingers: one deskmate, two neighbors in front and behind, and new friends on the playground... "I'm going to make ten!" he announced.  

Jerry stood by the window, looking at the sky outside, his voice full of hope: "Start a new life." Those three words came out of his mouth like a little seed just sprouting, gently swaying in the sun.  

Simon stretched out his little hand and counted on his fingers one by one: "It means I have to do 100 problems." He stopped when he got to the fifth finger, thought for a moment, and then started counting on the other hand. "100 problems is a lot," he said, "but I can write them fast!" 

Sia clenched his fists, his eyes shining: "It means learning more knowledge." He had already decided: in primary school he would learn math, Chinese, science, and also... "Teacher, is there a dinosaur class in primary school?" he asked seriously.

Queena said sadly, "Graduation means I'm leaving BeeMee. My mom loves my school very much, and she cried."

You see, in children's hearts, graduation is a mix of a hundred feelings - reluctance, expectation, curiosity about the unknown, and pride in growing up.

As soon as we asked, "How do you want to take graduation photos?" the classroom instantly became lively. The children's imaginations flew to the ends of the earth.  

Yueyue was the first to raise her hand: "Take a photo carrying Teacher Amanda on my back!" This image is so loving - the children want to carry their favorite teacher and let the teacher be a kid for once!  

Ian already started designing: "Take it in the school lobby, wearing Transformers clothes." He wants to become a superhero and have a photo with the most familiar school lobby.  

Emma's dream is big: "Go to England to take photos, wearing a wedding dress." In her imagination, graduation photos should be as beautiful as a princess.  

From the school lobby to England and France, from Transformers to pretty dresses - the children want more than just a photo; they want a graduation show that belongs to them. And there are still four months - who knows, maybe these fun ideas can really come true!  

03

The question "Where do you want to go for the graduation trip?" made the children's imaginations fly even higher and farther.  

Micky wants to go to Sanya and Xi'an, Justin wants to go to Shanghai, Ruirui wants to go to Hong Kong, Luna wants to go to Xinjiang, Jerry wants to go to Malaysia, Remi wants to go to Spain, Quentin wants to go to Japan...  

Emma, Yueyue, Kyle, 66, Leehom agreed: let's all go to Shanghai together!

Queena sticks to her French dream.  

Sunny wants to go to Sanya and play on the beach.  

Anna wants to go to Singapore.  

Kangkang chose Guangxi.  

ΠΠ wants to go back to his hometown in Chenzhou.  

Wenwen's wish is the coolest: "The universe!"  

Miumiu wants to go to Fujian.  

Bruce wants to go to Xinjiang.  

Vince's dream is even farther: "The sun star!" 

From Chenzhou to the universe, from Sanya to the sun star - the children's graduation trip plans cross mountains and seas and fly to the stars. Wenwen wants to go to the universe, Vince wants to go to the sun star - maybe one day, they really will get there.

Queena: Plant a rose in the kindergarten.

Anna: Go to class with my little brother.

Yueyue: I want to invite the principal to come and teach a lesson.
