少年的100小时社会初体验：从一杯咖啡开始的阅世之旅

Please scroll down for the English version

实习项目是启明星社会创新项目的重要组成部分，集中体现了社会创新教育的关键目标之一Connecting。高中生为大学申请和之后的职业道路做准备的时候，通过浸入现实世界的实习体验与世界相联，在真实的场景中应用所学的技能，且培养为世界带来改变的勇气和激励他人的力量。

从本周开始，我们将陆续推出3位参加启明星首届暑期实习项目的学生的视频记录片。

欢迎追剧！

今天是第一集，陈华霖（Nick）的实习故事......

视频里，Nick看起来很从容，也享受着被认可的快乐。Nick告诉我们，其实，整个实习过程的体验还远不止这些：做事要细心再细心，事务再庞杂也要安排得井井有条，在不那么愉快的情境下控制情绪——这些素养和技能都让他向着自己成为一名教育者的梦想更进一步！

#01  说来容易做来难的“细心”

少年人总是手快心更快。刚进入实习，Nick自己也是这样。一看屏幕上来了订单，马上动手制作，生怕手慢耽误了顾客……

一次，他刚自信满满地做了一杯咖啡，就听见师傅的敲打：你拿的是大杯还是中杯？Nick赶忙回看订单，果然，自己搞错了杯子的大小。

“大杯小杯，是否加奶，是冷还是热......顾客需求特别多，稍不留意就会出错。平常我们总说做事要细心，也觉得不是什么难事，其实真地工作起来，在所有地方都特别细心还是挺挑战的。”Nick反思说。

#02 独当一面

Nick做咖啡可不能像咖啡厅的咖啡师那么悠哉悠哉。

屏幕上订单一闪，就要快速开始工作，不然一单又一单跳出来，简直是连环夺命call！

一开始Nick常常手忙脚乱，好在师傅耐心教，Nick努力学。渐渐的，师傅有意一点点离开，从出去进个货，到花些时间巡视下餐厅，再到让Nick全部自己运营咖啡站。Nick在不知不觉中，开始独当一面。

“有一天，师傅问我，知道你今天做了多少杯吗？我一数，4小时里我做了100杯！还独立进了货，打理了柜台！”持续的努力和投入之后，Nick迎来了突然能够独当一面的惊喜。

#03 平常心，平常心

Nick也不免和顾客打交道，社会万象，经历当然不都是愉快的。

有一天，一位顾客进了餐厅，Nick迎上去问他需要些什么，没想到顾客心情不好，很不耐烦地数落了Nick一顿，不，是反反复复的好几顿。

Nick先是很震惊，在校园里从不会遇到这样的情况，然后很委屈，不觉得自己做错了什么。不过他努力控制住情绪：“我能做到的是，不让自己的情绪继续激化问题。”一个17岁血气方刚的少年面对没来由的责备，其实，并不容易咽下这口气。

细心，抗压，控制情绪，是每个人社会生存的重要素养，对Nick来说，更是他实现未来职业梦想——做一名教育工作者的必备条件。

“尽管这次实习和我的职业兴趣不直接相关，但对于练习一些重要的技能和素养是很有帮助的。下个暑期，学校有计划帮我安排教育相关的实习。”Nick说。

抛开职业诉求和兴趣启发这些目标，走进社会实习的重大意义，就是让未来成为一个个社会人的学生能真真切切地把平日里被教诲的概念和知识在“实景”中进行体验和反思。

最后，秀出Nick学做咖啡拉花的进步，并再次庆祝他的成长！

Internship program is one of the important parts of our Social Innovation Program. It epitomizes the implication of “Connecting”, one of the keywords of Social Innovation Program. As high school students prepare for university and their careers beyond, an internship experience that immerses students in the real world help them connect with the world, allows them to apply their skills in a real world setting and further equips them with the courage to change and inspire.

Starting from this week, we will release video documentaries recording three Daystar students who participated in the first summer internship program. 

Please stay tuned!

In the video, Nick looks quite calm, and also enjoys the joy of being recognized. Nick told us that actually, what he gained from this internship experience was more than just being recognized: you need to be careful and attentive, to be organized despite the complexity of a task, and to be able to control his emotions in a not very pleasant situation -- all of these qualities and skills will bring him closer to his dream of becoming an educator!

#01 The “Carefulness” That Sounds Easy

Young people are always quicker in mind than in action. This was the case with Nick when he just entered the internship. Upon seeing new orders showing on the screen, he immediately started to make the product for fear that customers might get frustrated...

One time, as he finished filling up a cup confidently, he heard his mentor reminding: Did you take a large cup or a medium cup? Nick checked his order, and sure enough, he made a mistake with the size of the cup.

“Large cup or small cup, with or without milk, cold or hot... Customers can have so many demands, and if you do not pay attention, you will make errors. We keep saying we should be careful and it doesn’t sound like a difficult thing, but when you are at work, it’s quite challenging to be particularly careful with everything you do,” said Nick, as part of his reflections.

#02 To Take Charge All by Himself

It’s not so easy a job for Nick to make coffee as those baristas at coffee shops.

When the order flashes on the screen, you need to start working immediately, or another order will pop up. It’s like a serial killer call!

At the beginning, Nick often found himself in frantic rush, but luckily, his mentor gave him instructions with patience and Nick tried his best to learn and keep up with the pace. Gradually, the mentor intentionally left Nick to himself, like going out to replenish stock or making an inspection tour of the restaurant, or asking Nick to operate the Cafe station all by himself. Unconsciously, Nick began to take charge independently.

“One day, my mentor asked me, do you know how many cups you made today? I made a count and found that I made 100 cups within 4 hours! I also replenished the stock and cleared up the counter!” After continuous hard work and dedication, Nick suddenly felt the pleasure of being able to take charge all by himself.

#03 Take it Easy!

Nicked also had to deal with customers, and of course, with customers having different personalities, not all of the experiences were pleasant.

One day, a customer entered the restaurant, and Nick came up to ask what he needed. But unexpectedly, the customer, in a bad mood, gave Nick a scolding, actually, quite a good scolding.

At first, Nick was shocked, as he had never met such a situation on campus. He felt quite aggrieved and didn’t know what he had done wrong. But he tried to control his emotions, “what I can do is to avoid exacerbating the conflict with my emotions.” It's not easy for a hot-blooded 17-year-old to swallow the blame for nothing.

Carefulness, resistance to pressure and control of emotions are important qualities for everyone to survive in society. For Nick, it is a prerequisite for him to realize his future career dream - to be an educator.

“Although the internship was not directly related to my career interests, it was very helpful to practice some important skills and qualities. The school has plans for an education-related internship for me next summer.” Nick said.

Regardless of goals like career pursuit and interest inspiration,the significance of doing internship in society is to enable students to truly experience how it is like being a social member and reflect on the concepts and knowledge taught in daily life in the “real scene”.

In the end, let’s feel Nick’s progress in making latte art through some pictures, and congratulations on his growth again!
