<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_1d2a65f4-3d88-4514-b68e-a138a800b5e6">
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Ms. Anna, <strong>I made into Cooper Union</strong>! Yes, I did it! !&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;I will continue to work hard, I want to be Mr. Steve Jobs!&#8221; he shouted!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> Lawrence, he is one of my student who lives in govt project, but just got into one of the best school in the world <strong>among 60 spots</strong> <strong>in year 2011</strong>,<strong> Cooper Union&#8211;T</strong><strong>he free college are much harder to get in than school like Harvard!</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">We both cried so hard on the phone.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">This is the true story happening in my studio every day!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to live in the worst area in NJ any more, there is rape, gun fire, drug, everything..&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;I want to buy my mom a big beautiful house, I want to send my little sister &amp; brother to the best school, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I want to make more money to support my mom, she is single mom, she work so hard for me!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">That was what he told me when he first came, my eye was wet even I tried to hide it.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;<strong>Are u going to take 3 hours train to come to my studio every week?</strong> are you going to work hard with me?&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; If you want to get into Cooper Union, your academic must above 95, SAT reach 2100, dear!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; Yes, I will work hard, harder than anybody! &#8221; </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">he was so skinny, but his big brown eye showing the stronger strength ever.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">Two &amp; half years after, he did it!!!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">Because his GAP finally raised to 98.5 from 69 the beginning, SAT reached 2285, his art work were more than brilliant!!!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Ms. Anna,  I can&#8217;t Thank enough for your help! I got the great news for u too!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; I also found a part-time job in an Architecture firm because my top ten Ivy portfolio are so stunning, my boss pay me much more money than other people. I will make my dream come true! lol..&#8221; </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">For the first time he laughed so loud even I can&#8217;t see his handsome face.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">he was always very quiet, he was always silent while I was teaching,</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> I hardly knew he was there some time in my studio.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">but he was one of my best student who is talented &amp; intelligent also willing to work hard, never missed a single home work, never looking for short cut. he worked 10 times harder than every one.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">He deserve the best today!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> &#8221;Thank you so much for being the best teacher of my life, Ms. Anna!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; <strong>Ms. Anna, I don&#8217;t want to live in the bottom any more, I want to climb up</strong>!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> he determined that &amp; he did it!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; I will be more successful, I will make u very proud to be my art teacher!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> Please take good care yourself, Ms. Anna! I miss you! &#8221; he added in passion!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I MISS YOU SO MUCH! </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">You would probably like to know how I know your daughter was auditioning for Art in Murrow. I was in the other room with the other art teachers. One of my classmates came running to my classroom, showing my art teachers your daughter&#8217;s art portfolio. All of the teachers were simply amazed and stunned of how beautiful the artworks were. Nonetheless, I am so glad to have you as a former art teacher. I still follow your techniques and I will never forget them! I feel so blessed to have worked on my portfolio with you. I am doing FANTASTIC in school. I got an E for Art, which means a full 100. My mom is impressed with my work and my progress in my AP classes. Not only that, I&#8217;m currently in the youth architecture program in Cooper Union! Yes, there is a great chance that I&#8217;ll need you to assist me in the future. It&#8217;s funny how time passes so fast and I&#8217;m already taking my SAT next year! Most definitely, I&#8217;d like to go to an Ivy League or possible Carnegie Mellon for architecture. No matter how complicated and stressful it is going to be, I am major faith in myself. Happy Holidays to your family. Take good care of yourself and don&#8217;t stress yourself out! I am always here! </span></div>

<p>【大紀元記者衛君宇紐約報導】走進紐約布魯克林 一間半底下室內的小小教室，看著滿牆的孩子們的畫作，很難想像這些東西，與將三位洋太保送進普林斯頓、耶魯和哈佛能有甚麼聯繫。然而，琢頑石而成璞玉的妙手，就正是這間畫室的主人<br />
— 翁婉明(Anna Yung)女士，人們都叫她「安娜」。</p>
<p>◆ <strong>從學藝術到用藝術教學﹕生活畫了一個圓<br />
</strong></p>
<p>從藝術學院畢業，成為一名設計師，到華爾街成為一名專業交易師，賺了很多錢，之後又回到開私塾通過藝術的方式，教令人頭痛的問題小孩上大學，安娜的人生軌跡，像是在不經意處畫了一個圓。</p>
<p>生活像坐著過山車般起起落落，安娜逐漸開始了悟﹕「我只是隨著我的心念，做我喜歡做的事情。因為生命的意義不在於你離開時有多麼了不起，而是在你活好每一天。」</p>
<p>真正令她下決心拿起畫筆並教孩子的，是在2000年和她一位身在巴黎的朋友的一通電話。那位朋友是一位非常著名的藝術家和教授，已經是在癌症晚期彌留之際，他在電話中說﹕「安娜，你應該拿起你的畫筆，因為那是神賜予你的禮物。」</p>

<p>起初，安娜從未想過要教小孩，她志在大學教藝術。但三、四年前，當她的畫室開張以後，不斷有一些家長在尋求幫助，他們想讓安娜幫助他們的孩子上最好的中學和大學。</p>

<p>◆<strong> 海娣的故事﹕從叛逆女孩到全優學生 </strong></p>
<p>「看到廣告來的第一個孩子是海娣，她是我的第一個華人學生，那時海娣14歲，上9年級。海娣來自香港的一個富裕家庭，8歲時才開始自己學刷牙，因為以前都是傭人在幫忙的。」</p>
<p>不久，海娣家的經濟情況開始變化，母親不得不外出做工，對海娣的關照開始減少，她無法適應這樣的轉變，從過去的舒適無憂到問題浮現﹕在學校她不喜歡學校<br />
的老師，在家裏，因為她從小喜歡藝術而媽媽不准所以常鬧性子，她媽媽認為「在華人社會，父母認為藝術是沒用的東西。」</p>
<p>家境變化加性格反叛，使得一切都偏離了航向。當她媽媽意識到問題時，已經太遲，她對學校沒興趣，她怨恨別人，一家人不能和睦。</p>

<p>10個月後，海娣進入了愛德文中學(Edward R. Murrow High School)。經年以來，愛德文中學一直被評為全美國最好的中學之一，1989年被教育部評委「優秀學校(School of Excellence)」。</p>
<p>之後很快，海娣進入了Cooper Union學院「年輕建築師」學習計劃。要知道，位於曼哈頓的Cooper Union是被美國時代週刊評為最難進的私立大學，要進其藝術與建築系更是難上加難的。</p>
<p>如下是海娣寫給安娜的一封信的片段﹕「我在學校表現非常非常好﹗我的藝術得了滿分100分。我媽媽對我的課業進步和大學預科的成績驚訝不已。不但如此， 我現在還加入了Cooper Union學院「年輕建築師」學習計劃。有一點確定的是，我想進常青籐學院或卡耐基梅隆去學建築。多多保重，不要太累了，我的心永遠與你在一起。」</p>
<p>看到一位問題女孩到全優生，安娜說她高興的想要哭。</p>
<p><a href="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/pict3366.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-151" title="PICT3366" src="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/pict3366.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>                                                               Student Art Work</p>
<p>◆ <strong>三個洋太保﹕逃課大王進名牌大學<br />
</strong></p>
<p>安娜的一位藝術家朋友認識三位富家子弟﹕Jeff ，Kevin<br />
和Michael。Jeff 家三代律師，他的家族在曼哈頓擁有20多家律師行，家境非常富有；Michael 的父親是紐約時報的一位主編；Kevin<br />
的父親擁有一家數十億資產的製藥公司。</p>
<p>朋友知道她將自己的小孩教的很好﹕安娜的兩位女兒，一位在全美排名第一的商學院 — 賓州大學沃頓商學院，另一位也是上名牌大學。而且安娜也幫她朋友的孩子上了Cooper Union學院和普林斯頓大學。所以朋友就讓安娜試試看，能否幫幫這三個問題男孩</p>
<p>這三個男孩已經換了二十多位老師，趕走了十六位藝術老師，他們的父母找到了各種個樣很好的老師，最後不是老師將他們趕走，就是他們將老師趕走。安娜的朋友對他們的家長說﹕「如果只有一位老師能解決你們孩子的問題，她就是安娜女士。」</p>
<p>這三位太保家住長島富人區，是鄰居，也是好朋友，他們經常一道逃學，夜不歸宿，對學校的作業沒有興趣，只要有機會就逃學，有時候在外面和人打架。成績不好，Michael 的平均分數隻有63，比海娣的69分還要差。Jeff 72分，Kevin 68分。</p>
<p>回憶當時情景，安娜笑著說﹕「那三位富家子，他們簡直把我給搞瘋掉了，他們是青少年問題男孩的典型代表。」</p>
<p><a href="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/pict3367.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-137" title="PICT3367" src="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/pict3367.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>                                                               Student Art Work</p>
<p>「Jeff 金髮碧眼，身高6尺3，非常英俊，他第一次來到我的教室時，我說一個字，他會學十次，我問他﹕Jeff 你六歲還是七歲，為甚麼老學我，是因為我英文的口音好笑嗎﹖他說﹕我17歲了。但你很好玩。他喜歡把我當成玩具。」</p>
<p>「Kevin 則是一問三不答，只管眼睛看著天花板。當我讓他做甚麼，他就說﹕我很累。我問他幹甚麼那麼累，他說玩計算機遊戲，每天晚上打遊戲徹夜未眠，直到清晨六點﹔我問﹕你的父母在哪裏﹖她說﹕我媽在醫院，我爸和女人在外面。」</p>
<p>「Michael 一進門，就說﹕我怎麼可以坐在這麼破的椅子上﹖買把新椅子，要不我就不坐下來。我說﹕那你坐在地上好了。他就真的躺在地上，二十分鐘不起來。我說﹕你要讓我將你扔出去嗎﹖他說﹕是。但是我沒法將他扔出去，因為他身高6尺1，體重195磅。」</p>
<p>就從這樣的三個孩子身上，安娜卻看到了共同的一點﹕他們非常聰明，很靈。「我試著找到他們感興趣的地方，我試著幫他們找到使他們的生活有意義的地方，我 試著用藝術來緩解他們心靈的痛苦，我想知道他們心中的憤世嫉俗來自何方，我試著打開真相。於是，我就將他們當作朋友，而不止是個教藝術的老師，和他們談 心，想瞭解他們更多一些。就這樣，我們開始了。」</p>
<p>「每個學生進門，我總是告訴他們﹕為甚麼要學習藝術。因為藝術會使得你的生活更有價值，懂得藝術，你會更加欣賞生活。這樣的理念體現在握的教學中，真的非常有效。」通過這第一步，安娜也讓學生們敞開心扉，接受指引。</p>
<p><a href="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/students-art-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-49" title="Student's art 1" src="http://annayung.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/students-art-1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>                                                                Student Art Work</p>
<p>然後，安娜開始教他們藝術的基本功和學習藝術的正確態度，直到有一天，他們開始對安娜說髒話，安娜很生氣，告訴他們﹕「給我出去，我沒教過這樣的學生，再也別回來。」</p>
<p>這三個男孩離開後，怎麼再打電話，安娜也不接，他們心裏還是明白的，幾天後一同來到了安娜的畫室，帶來鮮花和禮物，表示道歉，安娜說﹕「扔在垃圾桶裡 ﹗」他們說﹕「安娜小姐，你太傷我們的心了﹗」我說﹕「我唯一要的禮物是給我看到你們的出色功課，在這裡，有一樣東西是你們用錢買不到的﹕我的尊嚴，我的 正直。」他們聽懂了，學習態度越來越好。</p>
<p>這三個男孩都想和一位同校的夢中情人約會，但那位女生就是不睬。他們送了九次花，九次都 被扔掉。我對JEFF說﹕「你想聽真話嗎？那麼你知道為甚麼她不理你嗎﹖因為在我看來，你不過是個白垃圾，你的腦袋只是用來長草的。」他簡直吃驚壞了﹕ 「你真的這樣看我﹖我英俊、富有又聰明﹗」我說﹕「你聰明﹖那你的GPA怎麼那麼差勁     。」</p>
<p>那位女孩聰明有漂亮，後面追她的人有一、兩打，JEFF 問安娜如何是好，安娜告訴他﹕「把你的GPA考到95分，然後送她一張GPA拷貝，放一束玫瑰在裡面，那你的第一此約會就搞定了。」</p>
<p>JEFF說﹕「我生平第一此感到自己是個失敗者。」而對JEFF來說，真正的轉折點，就在這一刻。回家後，安娜請他的父母給他著了最好的補習老 師，JEFF三人則是三個月廢寢忘食的學習，結果他們一位得了92分，一位94分，JEFF真得了95分，真如安娜所說，他也如法炮製得到了和那位女孩的 第一次約會。倒是他們的父母對孩子們突然間像變了個人似的至今不得其解。</p>
<p>當然這還不夠，因為他們接下來還是貪玩，還是逃課，安娜 就跟他們講﹕「如果你們再逃一次課，我就沒有你們這樣的學生。」他們也問我如何能使那位女孩像蜜一樣黏著他們，我說﹕上個名牌大學，他們就會跟著你們。聽 起來很好笑，但確實你要找到不同學生在不同階段的驅動力所在。</p>
<p>三位太保從此認真起來，一年多後，JEFF SAT 考了2180分，進上了哈佛法學院，MICHAEL SAT 考了2125分，上了耶魯商學院，MICHAEL SAT 考了2085分，上了普林斯頓。</p>
<p><strong>華人的誤區﹕以為功課就是全部 </strong></p>
<p>輔助孩子們上名牌大學，安娜說其中非常重要的一環，就是他們都採用了安娜給他們準備的藝術作品集(Art Prtfolio) 作為大學申請中「課外活動」<br />
(Extra-Curricular) 一項的申請材料，其中包括長島的三位太保。</p>
<p>說到華人家長對孩子的教育，安娜說她完全理解父母們望子成龍望女成鳳的心情，但是如果給孩子們的壓力太大，往往會適得其反。安娜的學生中，不少就是從他們對藝術的喜歡中找到了自己的價值，反而促進了他們的功課成績。</p>
<p>還有，父母們認為正課最主要，對人文藝術課往往不太在意。安娜說﹕「我想告訴華人父母，藝術是一項基礎教育，它和數學和語文一樣重要。音樂也是如此。」</p>
<p>有一位男孩，來自華人家庭，對建築和藝術非常喜歡，SAT考了2380分，但就是因為他的課外活動一項不足，而未被哈佛錄取。雖然孩子喜歡藝術，安娜也給他準備了藝術作品集(Art Prtfolio) ，但其父母認為沒用而沒有在申請中遞交。</p>
<p>安娜說美國的大學，尤其是一流的名牌大學，他們不想要那些「高分低能兒」，他們希望招到那些非常與眾不同的學生，非常有發展潛質的學生﹕「那三位西人男 孩聽了，他們進入了哈佛、耶魯、普林斯頓。這位華人男孩的母親硬是不聽，結果孩子沒能上哈佛，儘管他的SAT考了2380分。」</p>
<p>如今，安娜感到欣慰的是，她對那位朋友有了交代，她在試著無私的幫助別人，她用自己的藝術才能和教育方式幫助華人孩子上了心中的大學，因為那位朋友當時還 說﹕「安娜，別忘了，儘管你很美國化了，但你依然是個華人，你要回來服務你的華人社區，用你的才能幫助他們，因為他們需要你。」</p>
<p>當時答應朋友的時候，安娜知道那不是一句玩笑，因為那時一份承諾，非常不容易兌現，好在多年的努力之後，這份承諾變成了現實，安娜也在這條特殊的路上越走越開闊。</p>
<p>最後，安娜想送給華人父母們一個建議﹕「尊重孩子，給他們成長的空間，不要強迫他們，而是要幫助他們真正有個幸福的人生。」 有孩子需要安娜幫忙的，可與她聯絡：347-739-3384</p>

<div><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:small;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:small;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Seven years ago, three rich kids came to my studio from the most richest area of NY&#8211;Great Neck, long Island , they spent a year with me making the top portfolios, try to go into one of top ten Ivy league school, because my friend gave them highly recommendation about me</span><span style="font-size:medium;">.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_7d8e404e-339d-42d0-82b0-e21f62eac4a7">
<div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">they have throw out more than 10 art teachers before.</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">these kid were very talented in art, bright &amp; smart but extremely lazy, spoiled.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">that was how we start..</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> The rich kid walked in, he said: Ms. Anna, how can I sit on those poor chairs ? I want a new one..</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; then you should sit on the floor!&#8221; I answered loud &amp; clear. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">so he laid down on the floor for 20 minutes. he had blue eye &amp; dark hair.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I asked other rich kids: do u want to throw him out?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">they said: Of course, but how can we move him out, he is 6&#8221;1, 195 lb.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; where is your home work?&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I turn my head to the one who has green eye &amp; dark hair, he rolled up the eyeball to the ceiling for another 15 minutes, no answer.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;so what did u do last night? I asked. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">he said: I played computer game until 6:00 am this morning. I am so tired to move my arm now..</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;wow. where is your parent? &#8220;I was more upset, but I didn&#8217;t raise my voice.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;My mom in the hospital for 19 months because I made her so sick!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> he suddenly suggested me: Ms. Ann, why don&#8217;t u work for my dad if u have MBA, he owns a big co.  he could pay u much more money.. lol&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">Wow, this was a real challenge to me!</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">The poor kid said:&#8221; I won the big art contents, but my mom ask me <strong>where is the money? </strong>she wants me to drop it out now.. &#8220;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">that sounds so familiar to me, reminds me all the pain I have been through.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> I told him not to give up, you will see your money one day, that will be much bigger than your mom&#8217;s head &amp; her thoughts. just go get a part-time job now if u can..</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Where is your homework, Ms. Anna?&#8221; another rich kid winked with his blue eye, his blonde hair looked to shine in the studio.. he liked to repeat every word I say there&#8230;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I asked him: how old are u ? 6, or 7?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">He laughed: I am 17 years old&#8230; here is my work! is that good enough.. lol?</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">What a crappy work he gave me! </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">enough was enough!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> I shouted: got out! got out my studio right now, never come back, don&#8217;t tell any one that I am your art teacher!!!!!&#8230;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">a week after, they all showed up in front of the studio with the flowers &amp; some expensive gift, to beg for another chance.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I told them to throw everything into a big trash can&#8230;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;that is so hurt our feeling!&#8221; one of the kid mumbling..</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;<strong> I am a poor artist, so what? there are one thing you can&#8217;t buy here, it is my dignity!</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I was real mad: the only chance you will get is &#8211;show me your good work when you come next time..!</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">three months after, these rich kid became a complete new person.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I tutored them individually.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">One day, one of the rich kid asked me: Ms. Anna, how can I asked my dream girl out? she has been thrown out my flower more than 9 times.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">I asked: is she dumb , poor &amp; just have a good look?  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Are u kidding me? Ms. Anna. My dad is a chief editor of Times, my uncle is a senator,  I don&#8217;t have a bad taste like that&#8230;who lives in our neighborhood? she is real smart &amp; pretty. she drive a much better car than mine&#8230; I am rich, smart &amp; handsome, but I feel like a real loser!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Do u know why she ignore u? because your brain only growing grass.. lol&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8221; Is what u think about me? Ms. Anna?&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Yes,dear!&#8221; I said loud &amp; clear:&#8221; so go work harder, get your butt into the best school in the world, then she will stick on you like honey!&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Please remember that my dear,  your parent&#8217;s success is not your success, your own success will be a real success of you. got it..?&#8221;</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">One year after, all of them got into the top prestige school in the world.. I ended up in hospital checking out my heart condition.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">when some one said: <strong>Ms. Anna ,I will remember you, my life has been change because you!&#8221; </strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;">he also sang me a song -<strong>I will remember you</strong> &#8230; but he sounded so horrible too.. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"> We both cried so hard on the phone..</span></div>
