Dear Teacher Sally.
Well, we made it.
亲爱的莎莉老师：
我们终于挺过来了。

At first, I didn't know how I could help my son pass his eighth-grade year. And I think every teacher wonders if we'll make it through the last week of school. So two words ： Thank you.
一开始，我不知道该如何帮助儿子顺利度过八年级。我想每位老师都会怀疑，我们是否能熬过这最后一周。所以，我想对您说两个字：谢谢。

This year, my son had problems with his grades. And something much worse is about his family. That's us. A few months ago, both my parents became terribly ill. At night, I was always busy taking care of them.And of course, no one looked after my poor boy. He always looked unhappy and just stayed in his room with the door closed and he didn't want to go to school.
今年，我儿子的成绩出了问题。而更糟的是，我们家也遭遇了变故——几个月前，我的父母双双病重。夜里，我总是忙着照顾他们，自然无暇顾及我那可怜的孩子。他总是闷闷不乐，把自己关在房间里，不愿去上学。

I was so worried. But you talked to me on the phone patiently, “It's eighth grade. He's going to come through this and everything will be fine, This is a difficult period of life. He needs space right now.”
我非常担忧。但您在电话里耐心地安慰我：“这只是八年级。他会挺过去的，一切都会好起来。这是人生的艰难阶段，他现在需要自己的空间。”

I thought about that, too. I know that sometimes a kid needs the space to be angry, sad and to work it out himself, We also knew that he needed time. He went little by little, from hardly being able to get up (because he had poor sleep all night) to a more regular sleep (from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.)
我也思考过这一点。我知道，孩子有时需要空间去愤怒、悲伤，并自己解决问题。我们也明白他需要时间。他一点点地改变，从几乎无法起床（因为整夜失眠），到逐渐恢复规律的作息（晚上10点到早上6点）。

So now it's summer and we finally made it thr¤ugh. My little boy smiles happily every day when he comes back from school. We are looking forward to his future progress. For the rest of my life, I will be thankful for how you helped my little son and my family.
如今已是夏天，我们终于熬过来了。我的小男孩每天放学回家都笑容灿烂。我们期待着他未来的进步。在我余下的生命里，我将永远感激您对我儿子和全家的帮助。

Sincerely.
Erica
