16岁的你每天都在做些什么呢?埋头于书堆试卷当中，为高考和个人前途拼命挣扎?对于那时的你、甚至现在的你而言，公益是一个遥远模糊的词汇。本文作者是一位16岁的少年，7岁时他就决定用自己的音乐才华去帮助重症儿童，通过音乐找到了回馈社会、关怀他人的方式。 “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “我们都陷入了一个无法逃脱的相互依靠的网络，拴在命运织成的衣襟之中。” ——马丁•路德•金博士 Those words captured my imagination eight years ago as a wake-up call for me to act on a great vision of reciprocity and responsibility - a vision of caring.[1] With dedication, and purposeful and direct use of my talents, I learned that I could sound an alarm to cause people to pay attention to the plight of children extremely ill with neurological diseases.[2] 八年前，这句话抓住了我的思想，像警钟一样敦促我去践行关于互助和责任的伟大理念。我意识到自己可以通过奉献以及有意地、直接地利用我的才华，敲响警钟让人们关注神经疾病重症儿童的痛苦。 I realized that I didn’t need to wait until medical school to make a difference in their lives. I could put my talents as a violinist to work by performing concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, in halls across the country and the globe, and raise money for these children. |
