My experience in SYB

I had been always looking for a suitable NGO until I found SYB. Why did I choose SYB? The students here can tell you the answers.

The fifth batch of students arrived at school at the end of August, 2012. Because the dormitories hadn’t been used the whole summer, there were a few things to be fixed: some lockers in the male dormitories were broken; the first weeks all girls had to share the only one toilet and shower. The school staff couldn’t help us change that as they were still on vacation. What moved me is that nobody was complaining about this. On the contrary, boys bought tools to fix the problem on their own. Girls arranged the shower time to ensure that it would not affect their classes. SYB’s students are independent, helpful and team-players.

Compared to most of the 90s generation, SYB’s students have a deep understanding of what they want. They have clear goals and in order to achieve their goals, they work hard with heart. After mid-October, they started internship at hotels. Six days’ working and some over-time work make sleep become the most precious thing for students. However, they never come late or leave early. SYB’s students are hard-working, persistent and observe the rules.

For those students who are far from home, they were touched by the mid-autumn festival in 2012. We held a big party and invited many SYB’s graduates to spend the night with us. It was very moving that those graduates changed their schedule to meet our fresh students. We danced and sang. We played games and enjoyed the pizza, cakes and bread made by teachers and graduates. Graduates were very patient to answer questions raised by new students. SYB’s students are out-going, friendly, and care about each other. No matter how busy they are, as long as SYB needs them, they will be back. SYB is their home!

Although the work is very tiring, I’m happy to be doing it. The students deserve my dedication. This is the reason why I chose SYB. They are SYB’s students and this is SYB.

生活老师心得

一直在选择合适的NGO，直到找到SYB。为什么选择这里，SYB的学生们可以告诉你，我的答案。

2012年8月底，第五批学生如期到校。由于宿舍一整个暑假都没使用过，有一些地方还需维修：一些门锁坏了，十几个女生同住在一起共用一个卫生间和一个洗浴喷头。因为在假期，学校的相关人员都还在休假，也无法帮我们修缮。让我感动的是：学生们没有一个抱怨，相反，男生们积极的自己去买工具，自己维修，女生们自己安排洗澡时间，已确保上课休息两不误。这就是SYB的学生们：他们自立，他们团队合作能力强，他们更有互助精神。

相比较大多数90后，SYB的学生更明白自己要什么。他们目标明确，为了实现目标，他们努力认真用心记录一切。10月份中旬后，他们开始了酒店实习，每周六天的工作加时不时的加班，对于他们来说，睡眠成为了最享受的东西。但他们却从来没有迟到早退过，这就是SYB的学生们：他们认真，执着，有规则。

对于远离家乡的学生们来说，2012年的中秋节最让他们有感触。我们集体办活动，邀请SYB的毕业生一起来过中秋，很开心这些学长学姐们都换班来和新生们见面。大家又唱又跳，玩游戏，吃老师们，学长学姐们做的PIZZA，蛋糕面包。学长学姐们热心的解答快要实习的学弟学妹们的问题。这就是SYB的学生们：他们活泼，开朗，热心，像家人一样关爱对方，不管他们有多忙，SYB需要他们，他们就会回家，SYB就是他们的家。

两个月来的工作，虽然很累，但是开心更多，因为这些学生们值得我这样付出。我就是我为什么选择SYB，这就是SYB的学生，这就是SYB。
