大家好！我是AIT@40活動策劃人卓薇晶。我曾在德州大學阿靈頓分校取得傳播學士學位，並在美國國家大學聖地牙哥分校取得組織領導碩士學位。我從小就深信教育的價值，也因此我特別榮幸能在此宣布AIT將在九月慶祝「教育月」！在九月的「AIT發現好書」中，我想跟大家推薦：《垃圾場長大的自學人生》（Educated）。這本書是前總統歐巴馬推薦的夏季書單，也是暢銷作家泰拉．維斯托的回憶錄。泰拉在書中回溯了她在愛達荷州末世論摩門教家庭的成長歷程，她在17歲前都沒有上過學，卻靠著驚人的毅力，突破重重障礙，最終拿到英國劍橋大學的博士學位。泰拉的故事是教育得勝的故事，也提醒我們知識就是力量。
你知道2%的美國人擁有博士學位，1.5%的美國人在念完四年大學後，又繼續取得專業學位嗎？各位在哪裡取得學位呢？或是計畫到哪裡取得學位呢？歡迎在底下留言跟我們分享喔！#AITat40 #BookoftheMonth #EducationMonth #AmericanEnglish #AITat40Celebration #AIT發現好書
Hi! I’m Crystal, AIT@40 Campaign Coordinator. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Broadcasting) from The University of Texas at Arlington and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership at National University – San Diego. Education is a value that was instilled in me at a very young age, which is why I am excited to announce that AIT is celebrating Education Month throughout September. Here is my recommendation for ‘Book of the Month’:
Named to Former President Barack Obama’s summer reading list, best-selling author Tara Westover’s memoir “Educated,” is about growing up in Idaho with her Mormon survivalist family that kept her out of the public school system until the age of seventeen. Although Westover faced many hurdles in life, she persisted. Going above and beyond the norm with all odds against her, Tara eventually earned a PhD from Cambridge University. Tara’s story is a victory of education; reminding us all that knowledge is power.
Did you know that 2 percent of Americans have a doctoral degree, and 1.5 percent have earned a professional degree that requires study beyond a four-year bachelor's degree? Where did you receive or plan to earn your degree? Post in the comments below.
