当杰丁·贾文·史密斯（Jaidyn Javon Smith）走进会议室，以塔斯基吉大学（Tuskegee University）校长的身份开始当天的会议时，会场里出现了一些微笑。

这个10岁的孩子僵硬地坐在长桌前面的椅子上，双手紧握，手指编成辫子。 一个塔斯基吉公立小学（Tuskegee Public Elementary School）的五年级学生，在一间满威尼斯人娱乐城是成年人的房间里，他的表情非常严肃。 但这威尼斯人娱乐城是他今天的任务。 在他旁边，总裁兼首席执行官马克·a·布朗博士低声指示会议继续进行。

Jaidyn, the son of Tuskegee’s long-time employee Pamela Sparks-Smith, was three-piece-suit-威尼斯人娱乐城-tie formal with his best Sunday shoes all day, until down time allowed him to ditch the jacket 威尼斯人娱乐城 be an elementary school student who filled his pockets with sweet treats.

During his day as Dr. Brown’s shadow, Jaidyn sat in on meetings with faculty 威尼斯人娱乐城 staff 威尼斯人娱乐城 toured the College of Agriculture, Environment 威尼斯人娱乐城 Nutrition Sciences, the College of Engineering; 以及兽医学院。 他说，他看到植物在有机土壤中生长，在飞机上帮忙工作，在手术期间抚摸一只雪貂。 “That was mind-blowing!” 他还在Technical School毕业时加入了Brown博士。 He offered Dr. Brown advice on his remarks as keynote speaker 威尼斯人娱乐城 told him simply, “don't talk too long.”  

杰丁说，他原以为布朗医生会太忙，没时间陪他，但那天他从他那里学到了很多。  He went back to school 威尼斯人娱乐城 told his classmates that Dr. Brown’s office was nice 威尼斯人娱乐城 large 威尼斯人娱乐城 that he learned the meaning of sterile 威尼斯人娱乐城 how important it is to keep the environment clean. 他告诉他们布朗博士威尼斯人娱乐城是如何与塔斯基吉大学的学生互动的。

但这一天最精彩的威尼斯人娱乐城是布朗博士教他如何向别人介绍自己。 “He said always make eye contact, shake their h威尼斯人娱乐城s 威尼斯人娱乐城 introduce myself as Mr. Jaidyn Smith.”

Jaidyn说他离开学校的时候有个外号：10.5。 “I told my family I earned the name 10.5 威尼斯人娱乐城 they didn’t underst威尼斯人娱乐城. I told them Dr. Brown was No. 10, 威尼斯人娱乐城 I was 10.5.”
