“You probably don’t remember me,” she began. “I come to apply for my Graduation with Distinction(优秀).” She then pulled out a piece of paper from her wallet and gave it to me. It was my handwriting, but I didn’t remember writing it.
As the assistant director of the Honors Program at the university, it was my job to check students’ transcripts(成绩单) to make sure they met the requirements for continuing in the Honors Program. It was common for freshmen to have a difficult start and many would leave the program after their first semester. The note on the paper she handed me read, “I think you had an excellent second semester. You may have been disappointed by your grades, but you should feel wonderful that you have improved. That’s an impressive achievement! Keep up the good work. Remember that with your 3.5 average, you will quality for Graduation with Distinction.”
I didn’t remember writing the note, which was written at the bottom of her second semester transcript.
She went on, “You can’t know what this has meant to me. I have carried it for three years and I pulled it out whenever I didn’t want to continue my work. For three years I have been planning on walking into your office and giving you this note and this transcript.” She handed me her latest transcript, 3.502.
I really had no idea my actions could have such a big effect on someone else. Writing the note seemed like nothing to me, but it meant so much to her.
