這也是梅根的高中老師印象深刻的事
When Meghan Markle's high school theology teacher heard about her engagement to Prince Harry she had one immediate thought.
"He is so lucky," says Maria Pollia, a teacher at Immaculate Heart High School.
當梅根高中神學老師聽到她和王子哈利訂婚的時候, 她就立即想到,
「他實在很幸運」一個Immaculate heart高中老師瑪麗娜 寶拉說道,
Pollia never forgot about Markle over the decades since she taught her. Which is what made her think the Royal family had snagged such a catch.
"I know Meghan. And I know that she is someone who is a very unique individual who has the depth, and the intelligence and the focus, but also the joy to be a wonderful companion for him and for them to be companions to each other in what is probably a very stressful way of life."'
寶拉自十多年教過梅根從未忘記她. 梅根也是一個讓她的皇家國戚陷入僵局的情況
「我知道梅根, 我知道她是一個非常獨特,個人特色有深度,聰穎和令人矚目的,也是一個樂於為哈利扮演一個完美個伴侶, 為他們成為彼此的依靠大概是一個非常有壓力的生活 」
It has been more than 20 years since Markle stepped through the halls of the all-girls Catholic school campus of Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles. But the imprint she left on her teacher and those around her still lingers.2018皇家婚禮 我們所知的事
這已經是20多年自從梅根穿過全女子天主教校園的禮堂在洛杉磯，但這銘刻記憶留在她的老師和四周盪漾著
Many who knew her, like Pollia, remember Markle as a young, curious, and deeply caring student who seemed mature beyond her years.
Markle was always happy, raising her hand to ask questions and engaged in class discussions. Pollia remembers her as a "bright personality" in class. But one thing stuck out most.
許多像是了解她,像是寶拉, 記得梅根事一個年輕, 好奇心也有強烈的關心學生這僅看似成熟的模樣超出她當時年紀。
梅根總是快樂, 舉起手問問題並且樂於課堂討論。寶拉回憶起她在班上是一個個性鮮明的人。但一件最容易卡住的事情
"She was also a very unusually compassionate person, and developed that compassion quite early in her life," she says.
Which is why seeing how Markle blossomed on the world stage to become an advocate for women, speaking out about her biracial background, and becoming a humanitarian for so many, is no surprise.
她也是相當有同情心的人，也發展出相當的同情心在她人生中」她說道
這也是為什麼看到梅根片地在世界上也成為一位革新, 為她的背景發聲, 也是人道主義者, 這也不令人意外
That seed was planted early, Pollia says. One of the earliest lessons came during a visit to Los Angeles' notoriously dangerous Skid Row.
"I started working at a soup kitchen in Skid Row of Los Angeles when I was 13 years old, and the first day I felt really scared," Markle said in an interview for the book "The Game Changers: Success Secrets from Inspirational Women Changing The Game and Influencing The World." "I was young, and it was rough and raw down there, and though I was with a great volunteer group, I just felt overwhelmed."
That's when Markle remembered a conversation she had with Pollia. It was Markle's sophomore year and the class was "Engaging God." Pollia was teaching Markle's class about the Mystics, how throughout Catholic history they tried to care for the marginalized and find a way to reach out. Pollia told the class how she volunteered at a soup kitchen on Skid Row, what she saw, what she was confronted with.
"Megan approached me after class and said, 'You know, when I was about 13 I volunteered at a kitchen on Skid Row and I was really scared. But I really, really, really want to go back. How did you do it? How do you go there?"
So Markle and her teacher got to talking. It's a conversation from decades earlier that Markle recalled when interviewed in the book.
