Even without a formal break, educators should seize the chance to consider goals and resets at the start of a new term.

the care Sara‘s Homestay extends to our students. Our kids have made great progress in the study of English and in
adapting to American life! Qianju has made great efforts for the summer classes, planning everything herself and doing
the job positively! She has even taken part in the weekend activities, introducing our students to new and exciting things.

of the host families to cook breakfasts and dinners for the children. According to the students, she has been doing a
great job.. The days in the U.S. enabled us to feel the deep care and thoughtfulness of Sara‘s Homestay. Please accept
my sincere thanks.‖
―张先生:你好!
非常感谢你的提醒。
艾玛的房间光线充足,但考虑到学生晚上都要做作业,所以需要学习台灯,周末带她自己购买也无妨。
门闩一事主要是考虑到女生的安全感和生活习惯,dollar妈妈说,医生一家已经提出了此事,
下次会帮她们安装,看来他们考虑得很周到。最近有很多艾玛的同学和我的同事来咨询留美事宜,
我相信中国今后有这方面需求的家长会越来越多,贵公司优质的服务给我留下了深刻印象,我会介绍他们来联系你。‖
Quotes from Students
―Studying abroad offered an invaluable exposure to life in other parts of the world at a young age. It reframed the way I
viewed the world, and made me realize that the politics of a nation don't always reflect the hopes and aspirations of its
people.‖ – graduating senior, class of ‗12
―Studying abroad requires a willingness to be challenged: to be more tenacious and resilient by overcoming the
challenges of living in a new place that often comes with language barriers, different cultural norms, and novel
environments full of foreign people and places we‘ve never encountered. Education abroad experiences
present us with new ideas and beliefs, and as we encounter new worldviews, these experiences teach us to
be patient—with ourselves and with others—as we convey our identity and background to others while
learning to appreciate and accept theirs.‖
―Matlock is a truly global community where all feel welcome and where diversity is appreciated. In my
four years at Matlock, I have enjoyed close friendships with people from places like France and Russia
and worked on projects with people from Poland and Romania. I would have never experienced this back home.‖
