谢谢晓瑞阿姨！ Thank You Sherry
My mom always pushes me to try harder in school, however she doesn’t know exactly how to help me in order to achieve my high grades, scores, and good applications.
My father, on the other hand, knows how to help me, but is not able to, due to the fact that he lives on the other side of the world.
I was behind in many areas – finding an SAT teacher, a calculus tutor, someone to help me with my college essays, applications, and much more.
Sherry, a friend of my mother’s and the establisher of Bay Echo, has helped me in all my problematic areas that I longed to be fixed and has helped my mother and father in their high stress levels for me. Whenever I need someone, Sherry is here. Always.
“I don’t understand calculus at all, where can I find a good tutor?” Sherry had an answer.
“My friends are taking this prep class (which I shall remain unnamed) for their SAT. Is it good?” Sherry always had her reviews and opinions.
“No, that class is terrible,” she told me. And thus, I was lead to a much better prep class.
What I love about Sherry is that when she knows something, she explains it extremely thoroughly and opinionatedly to get her point across, and when she does not know something, she has the passion to go and look for it immediately.
I see and believe that she is not only doing her job, but also truly caring about my future.
She calls my mom continuously, “how did Emily do on her SAT?” or “how far is she in her college applications?” or “how are her grades? Has she studied for finals?” She calls my mom because she worries about me, and wants to help me.
That shows how she really puts her heart into her job, and care into her abilities to help.
Thank you Sherry.

家长们好。
我是红花。我在几年前通过“中国人在硅谷”的网络平台与晓瑞相识，后来又一起在“妈妈成长班”学习，也在“硅谷回音”网站一起共事。
因为与王晓瑞相处的时间较多，我对这个看似不起眼的女性深感钦佩。在王晓瑞眼中，只要是她想到的事情，就会不遗余力努力去做，无论多么艰难万险。比如这个硅谷回音的网站，比如他们上海交大的校友峰会，再比如现在她正在经营的春晖教育学院。
我在这里只想分享一件事情，这件事情让我对晓瑞充满感动和谢意。
大家知道，我是留守妻子，女儿面临升学压力。我家先生虽然回家帮助女儿的升学事宜，但是无奈工作在身他不能时时陪伴在女儿左右。而我，对升学的事情也只了解个皮毛。这个时候，晓瑞一直在默默关心着我女儿申请大学的事情，口头上，Facebook上，伊妹儿上，随时随刻都无微不至地关心着我女儿的成长，俨然一个负责任的母亲。
众所周知，加州的大学申请截止日期是11月底。可是,在截止日的前三天, 我和女儿才发现她的大学申请还几乎是空白。焦急之下, 我让孩子找到了晓瑞。连续三个晚上，晓瑞都在无微不至帮助我女儿的大学申请。有一个晚上,他们在办公室一直待到凌晨近两点。而这个时候，我这个没用的妈妈，却等不到女儿回家而先睡着了。如果不是出于对一个孩子的关心，晓瑞不可能如此倾注心力帮助我的孩子。何况，她自己也是一个有三个孩子的母亲。
千言万语却无法表达 “谢谢” 两字。在此，作为一个母亲，我想与我的女儿一起，在这里对晓瑞说一声：谢谢你。
