日前，应有斯公益小记者项目要求，来自上海建平中学西校12岁的小记者夏行健（Alex Xia）用英文撰写了一篇文章，作为三月份女性主题月的随笔。Alex的妈妈建议他以自己喜欢的书中的一位女性榜样作为主角，但是Alex经过思考后，选择了在生活中带给他最多影响的一位女性——他的妈妈（上海建桥学院外国语学院副教授胡卫卫），记录了妈妈兼顾家庭、事业、义工等不同角色，用心引领和陪伴孩子成长，关爱学生和社会，做孩子言传身教的好榜样，成为了孩子心中的英雄。本文读来令人感动，特此分享，欢迎查看。

今年年初，有斯公益在北美和中国招募了首批中学生小记者，开启系列“有斯访谈”，邀请传媒业界导师和优秀大学生为小记者做持续赋能培训，让小记者学习新闻采访、沟通表达和写作技能，并且通过有斯公益平台，邀请不同领域、不同行业背景和人生阅历的受访嘉宾，为小记者们提供深度访谈的机会，分享精彩的人生故事，感受不同的魅力人生。很高兴我们的小记者从中有了更多成长和锻炼的机会，期待更多精彩！

We all need special people to help us in times of great need: to inspire us, to challenge us, and to motivate us to go on in our journey no matter how difficult it may be. We call them our guiding posts, the stars that guide our life. They are the heroes in our lives. For me, the person who has always been there, in all my ups and downs, is my mom. She is my modern-day hero who loves, cares, and helps me the best way she can.

Although my mom is very busy with her teaching, she does a great job of taking care of the family, especially her son, me. For most of us, when we are busy working，we easily feel tired and want to take a rest, and put away the things we are doing. But for my mom, she doesn’t have much time to rest. She does not complain about how exhausted she is after a whole day of hard work, considering that she does all the work by herself in almost perfect order. Since we do not live together with my father, and my grandparents are neither living with us, it is truly amazing how my mother manages to shoulder all the responsibilities by herself.

On taking care of me, she also does an awesome job. She helps me have many opportunities to talk with influential people in society. For example, she facilitated my meeting with Mr. FU, a great and famous cross-country runner, so that I had the chance to have a one-to-one interview with him. She guided me on how to prepare questions for the interview. Indeed, it was a total success, thanks to my mom’s support. What’s more, she always encourages me to teach other kids English reading, go hiking for 100 kilometers in four days, read difficult books, and enroll in public speaking classes to develop my English communication skills. She always listens to me when I am talking to her, and gives me the freedom to plan my own schedule. Sometimes, she even listens to my ideas and follows some of my advice.

Moreover, to her friends, she is always helpful, especially in their times of great need. During the time of Covad 19, she bought hundreds of masks and donated all of them to her friends in America. One of the benefactors has three children’s museums built in different cities. Unfortunately, few people have visited these places due to the pandemic. Because of this, my mom launched a donation campaign for the museum and collected more than 5,000 dollars to help sustain their condition.

To her students, she is truly one of the best teachers in their lives. Many of them want to be a teacher or find a decent job, but they need help and guidance to go about it. In effect, my mother organized a forum and invited some of her friends from different sectors of society to help answer her students’ concerns. In the end, the students were all enlightened.

After all, I think she really does a good job of being a mom, a friend, and a teacher. She always takes good care of me and provides me with various opportunities to grow. More importantly, she helps other people, too, by giving her best in her teaching profession, helping them achieve their dreams, and offering them timely help or support in their hour of distress.
