In April fool’s Day we visited Long Men junior high school. Even though it was a rainy day (even though I was under the pressure to interview principals and worry my master thesis), being here I amazed its technological and friendly facilities. School environment and architecture combined education with aesthetics. The junior high school students under the period of storm, an open and humanized space could help them not only widen their eyesight and mind but also make them relax and take away their pressure. In order to building a multi-capable student, their school vision was centered on students and made sure each student get equal learning resources and concern Besides, their school management was emphasized teacher’s profession to enhance teaching quality. Ben guided us to visit the school. He was a great teacher and had plentiful teaching experience. Through his vivid and clear explanation, we realized the history of school, the meaning of decoration and the good use of space.



The visit and the young teachers reminded me of the days I taught in junior high. I started as a novice teacher and gained a lot of experiences over there. I always hold that the first school would make the deepest impact on a teacher’s thinking and later affect the career path. I was lucky to stay in a school where the colleagues were warm and friendly, the principal was supportive and most of the students worked hard. Being a teacher was never my ambition, but I turned out to be one that enjoys this work very much.
