【正文】 ot this break because he was taking the place of another conductor, Bruno Walter, who had fallen ill. Bernstein had been appointed Assistant Conductor for the New York Philharmonic only a few months before that night. Just 25 years old, he was relatively inexperienced. At the last minute, Bernstein was told he was to take Walter’ s place, so he did not have any time to rehearse. The music he was going to conduct was very difficult. Plus, the concert was going to be broadcast nationally on the radio. Despite all these pressures, Bernstein rose to the occasion and received a standing clapping at the end of the concert. The event made national headlines, and Bernstein became famous overnight. Some people feel they do their best under the most stressful circumstances. What was it about Leonard Bernstein that made him do so well in such a difficult situation? Perhaps Leonard Bernstein did so well because music was his passion. The son of a man who supplied hairdressing products, Bernstein became interested in music at the age of 10. By the time he was a teenager, he was performing in public.

In high school, we were mostly tested on our ability to memorize facts, dates and formulas. In college, you will be required to think critically and to analyze the important ideas and theories. Your grades will be based more on your ability to read and understand the main ideas and to write about them in a critical way. Unless you are absolutely certain of what you would like to study, use your freshman year as a time to explore courses in a number of areas. As you probably know, Harvard’ s educational system requires you to take what are called core classes, which are designed to expose all students to areas like literature and arts, the sciences and history. For many students, these core classes are the most difficult because they require us to take courses in areas that are not our advantages. We advise you not to load up yourself with core classes in your first year. Get familiarized with the way that the academic program works at Harvard first, and then deal with the bulk of core classes. Get involved but don’ t get overwhelmed. While we were used to participating in lots of activities in high school, we chose to concentrate our time on a couple of key activities in college. Meet as many people as you can. One of the best things about attending Harvard is that you can meet some truly incredible people. Our classmates included a prince, television actresses and daughter of a . vice president. 72.
