 相见亦重逢

——我与枫叶的故事

1201 王喆

三年前的八月，我与枫叶相遇。依稀记得那天阳光晴好，清风微拂，微斜的日光在她枣红外套上洒下点点金光，那是我与她的初次相遇。

三年来，我从未失望过，因她总能带给我精彩。记得是她鼓励我站在舞台上自信表演，记得是她邀请我一次又一次的参与志愿者，记得是她带我走近外教们，交到朋友，记得是她为我准备无数次的相遇，让我无数次的生出“相见恨晚”的情怀。在无数的感知中，不觉三年已成倒数。此时，她告诉我：你要离开了。

她将留学中心的老师们带到我面前，也邀请各大学的身影出现在学校，她将数个说明会的画卷展开，她也让我们成为学校中的“学姐”“学长”，她将梦想的种子深深植入我心……是她步步牵着我的手向前行走，是她助我打开通向世界舞台的大门，是她敞开怀抱迎我入门，待我的羽翼渐渐丰满又郑重将我送离。

每一个步骤都很平静，她娓娓道来。我知道，是时候与她告别了。我也知道，也是时候该与那个稚嫩的我告别了。

终于，我等到了那份无数次出现在梦里的录取。三年来我所做的每一个决定都是此时的奠基石，我长久以来一直在为这一瞬做准备。一步步，我每天都在告别，告别时间，告别过去，告别稚嫩；每天我也在相遇，相遇现在，相遇梦想，相遇成熟。在三年中，我不断进取，不断学习着新生事物，为这一天的盛大而庄严，能不留遗憾。

她问我说：你害怕吗？你期待吗？我向她微笑着点头也摇头。我害怕着未知，害怕着未来，却也期颐这希望，期盼着未来。每一段告别都为了再一次的相遇。“路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。”每一段回忆，每一段告别都是成长的必经路途。三年来，她伴我成长；我也期盼我与未来每一位“伯乐”的相遇，期盼着下一次我与枫叶的重逢。

期待到那时，我会自信的向她招手，说出我的成就。而日光也依旧正好，清风微浮，仿佛一切未变，我们依旧如初。

Meet And Meet Again

--My Story With Maple Leaf

1201 Helena Wang

Three years ago in August, I met Maple Leaf on first sight.I vaguely remember the sky was beautifully clear, the breeze was refreshing, the slanting sunlight painted her wine-red coat in golden color,. That was my first encounter with her.

In three years, I have never been disappointed for every time she could bring me wonder. I recall that she encouraged me to perform on stage with costume and makeup confidently, I recall that she invited to volunteer again and again, I recall that she took me by the hand and guided me to the foreign teachers and led me to my caring friends. I recall that she prepared me countless encounters full of excitement and made me feel regret not to know all these earlier. In millions of senses, time flies and three years were in countdown. Then she told me,“it’s time to go.”

It was she who brought the advisers for graduation and university application to me, and invited representatives from different schools appear, it was she who unfolded the strolls of lectures and knowledge and made us become the “seniors” in school. It was she who planted the seeds of dreams in my heart, and took my hands to leap forward with heads hold high. It was she who opened the door of future and offer me the key. She was the one who guides and the one who farewells.

Every step was calm, she explained all the details. Deep down, I feel certain, it’s time to say goodbye, I am also sure it’s time to say goodbye to my immature.

Finally, I received the offer that exists countless times in dreams. Every decision I've made for three years has been the cornerstone for this moment, and I've been preparing for this moment for thousands of years. Step by step, I bid farewell every day, in farewell to time, farewell to the past, farewell to childish; every day I also encounter, encounter infinity, encounter dream, encounter mature. In three years, I have been enterprising and constantly learning new things, for this day to be grand, solemn and leave no regrets.

She asked me: “Are you scared or excited?”I nodded and shook my dead with a smile, I am afraid of the unknown, afraid of the uncertainty but also dream for the future, dream for hope. Each farewell is preparing for another mighty comeback. “The road is long, I shall continuously learning.” Every memory, every farewell is the essential in growing up. For three years, I grew up with her, and I also look forward to my future, every opportunity to meet the “Burle” and every reunion with Maple Leaf.

Hope to that time, I will confidently wave at her and tell her about my achievement. The sky will be beautifully clear and the breeze will still be refreshing, as if nothing has not changed and the love still remains.
