在委内瑞拉出生的Nic是一个“第三文化孩子”。他在俄亥俄州和北京度过了童年时光，之后来到了Concordia，遇到了一个充满热情和温暖的学校大家庭。

Nic对他高中一年级的第一堂课记忆犹新：Mr. Johnson的人文课。

“课堂上，我们探讨了很多深刻的问题，阅读了深奥的文本，也设定了富有挑战性的学习目标。最重要的是， Mr. Johnson的教学方式让我树立了成为终身学习者和为他人服务的理想。他对课程内容的精通，对每一位学生的关怀，以及对学术严谨的重视，都深深影响了我。”

从Concordia毕业后，Nic踏入了圣母大学的校门，主修文科和中文专业。大学期间，他继续自己的写作爱好，并担任了圣母大学学生报Irish Rover的主编。毕业后，他先是加入了曼哈顿政策研究所担任新闻官，磨练自己的技能，直到他最终决定全身心投入到自己的终极热爱——教育事业中。

命运总是充满奇妙的转折：这一次，从Concordia毕业七年的Nic，和Mr. Johnson在北岭预备学校的“教学基础”研讨会上重逢了！Mr. Johnson是作为行业前辈，来分享他的从教经验。

从上海到芝加哥，世界真小，缘分也是真的很奇妙！

“很高兴我们能相逢，并且在这里支持Nic在北岭预备学校开启他的教学之旅！在Concordia时，Nic就是一个优秀且上进的学生。我相信，他一定能成为一名出色的教师！”

—Mr. Mark Johnson, Concordia前任教师

作为新晋教师的Nic，正激动地准备把他从前辈那里学到的宝贵经验带给下一代的学生。加油Nic，期待你将教育的火炬继续传递！

Education is all about the passing of the torch. At Concordia, our students learn from the best! Concordia's alumnus Nicolás Abouchedid, from the Class of ’17, exemplifies this perfectly. Inspired by his high school teacher, Mr. Mark Johnson, Nic has followed his passion into one of the most rewarding professions: teaching!

As he embarked on his career at Northridge Preparatory School, Nic was filled with excitement, nerves, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Throughout it all, Mr. Johnson’s influence was ever-present—a reminder of the pivotal role his teacher played during his time at Concordia.

Hailing from Venezuela, with years spent in Ohio and Beijing, Nic embraced Concordia as a third-culture kid, finding a welcoming home within our vibrant community.

Nic fondly remembers his first class as a high school freshman: Humanities.

“In that course, we asked big questions, read deep works, and aimed for challenging goals. More than anything else, the ‘way’ Mr. Johnson taught—with evident mastery over the content, commitment to each student, and seriousness about rigor—set before me the ideal of being a lifelong learner, and a man for others.”

After graduating, Nic pursued his passion at the University of Notre Dame, majoring in Liberal Studies and Chinese, while continuing his love for writing as editor-in-chief of the Irish Rover (an independent student newspaper at Notre Dame). He further honed his skills as a press officer at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research before his career led him to teaching.

In a delightful twist of fate, seven years after leaving Concordia, Nic found himself learning from Mr. Johnson once more, this time at the “Teaching Foundations” workshop at Northridge Preparatory School!

First in Shanghai; now Chicago. The reunion was a joyous reminder of how small the world can be!

“So great to still be in touch and to support Nicolás Abouchedid as he goes into teaching at Northridge Preparatory School! Nic was such a wonderful, inspired student to have at Concordia. I know he will be a great teacher!”

—Mr. Mark Johnson, former Concordia teacher

Now stepping into the classroom himself, Nic is excited to apply the lessons learned from his mentor and to inspire the next generation of students. Keep the momentum going, Nic—we’re all excited to see how bright your torch will shine!
