亲爱的各位学者、家长、来宾们:大家上午好!
今天是一个特别值得纪念的日子, 我们在这里举行昆山狄邦华曜学校首届高中生毕业典礼,作为中方校长,我十分高兴与大家一起分享这一喜悦。
在此我首先祝贺高三的每一位学者顺利完成高中三年的学习任务,全部毕业,并考入自己理想的大学;其次我要向为你们成长倾注了无数心血的老师们表示深深的敬意,正是他们的爱心与教诲,帮助你们收获了这个充满喜悦的成果;再则我要感谢三年来一直关心学校、支持学校的家长们,是你们的热心与帮助,才有了学者们健康成长的教育好环境,谢谢你们对狄邦华曜的理解与支持。
有人说,青春是一本仓促的书,三年一千多页就这样匆匆翻过。回首来时路,你们留下了一串串深浅不一的足迹。你们的勤奋努力,你们的执着追求,你们的直言坦诚,你们的团队合作、奋力拼搏,充满青春活力的你们,在校园中留下了难忘的记忆与友情。
面对即将离开母校的你们,我还是想非常诚恳地对你们提几点希望:
1、不管你今后生活、学习在何方,都不能忘记我是中国人!保持对自己国家和民族的热爱和关注,了解自己国家的历史、文化和价值观,传承和弘扬民族精神,促进不同文化的交流与理解,这是你们作为国际化人才应该具备的重要素质。
2、做一名具有高度道德和伦理意识的未来人。人要拥有爱心、宽容之心,人生不仅有阳光与鲜花,也有荆棘坎坷与风雨冰霜。坚守道德底线,秉持真诚、正直和公正的原则,对他人多一份爱和宽容,你的人生就会多一份快乐和从容,世界也会因此更加美丽,因为你的行为和决策会对他人产生深远影响,愿你成为正直与善良的典范。
3、要拥有责任意识。人生在世,总要承担起对社会、对事业、对家庭,乃至于对自己的责任。惟有承担起责任,才能真正体现自己的人生价值。
4、不管遇到什么困难和挫折,智慧与勇气是你们解决一切问题的钥匙。英国哲学家培根说:“人的命运主要掌握在自己手中”。纷繁的人生,可能会让你们时常面对选择,世上所有问题,惟有清醒的头脑、独立的思想与人格、直面的勇气,你才会拥有正确的人生方向。
5、希望你们养成喜欢阅读与终身学习的习惯。因为读书能明理益智,韬光养晦,永远保持对知识的渴望与追求,用智慧去认识世界,改变世界,你就会始终对世界充满好奇,对生活充满热爱,对他人充满善良之爱心。
最后,希望你们不要忘记母校,关心母校的发展变化,保持与母校的联系,老师祝福你们,静候你们的佳音!
祝同学们健康快乐,学业有成!谢谢!
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished scholars, parents, and guests, good morning! Today is a special and memorable day as we gather here for the first graduation ceremony of Dipont Huayao Collegiate School's senior high students. As the Chinese principal, I am delighted to share this joy with all of you.
First and foremost, I congratulate every scholar from the senior class for successfully completing the three-year high school journey and graduating, as well as gaining admission to their desired universities. I also want to express my deep respect to the teachers who have devoted countless efforts to your growth. It is their love and guidance that have helped you achieve this joyful outcome. Furthermore, I would like to thank the parents who have shown continuous support and care for the school throughout these three years. It is your warmth and assistance that have created an educational environment for the scholars to grow and thrive. Thank you for your understanding and support towards Dipont Huayao Collegiate School.
It is often said that youth is a hastily written book, with over a thousand pages turned in just three years. Looking back at the journey you have taken, you have left behind a series of footprints, varying in depth and significance. Your diligence and hard work, your unwavering pursuit, your honest and open communication, and your teamwork and relentless effort have left unforgettable memories and friendships within the campus.
As you are about to leave your alma mater, I would like to sincerely offer you a few hopes:
No matter where you go in your future life and studies, never forget that you are Chinese! Maintain your love and attention for your country and nation. Understand the history, culture, and values of your own country, inherit and promote the national spirit, and foster cultural exchanges and understanding. These are important qualities that you, as international talents, should possess.
Be individuals with a strong sense of morality and ethics. Embrace love and compassion. Life is not only about sunshine and flowers; it also includes obstacles and challenges. Uphold moral standards, embody sincerity, integrity, and fairness. Show extra love and tolerance towards others, and your life will be filled with happiness and tranquility. The world will become more beautiful because your actions and decisions will have a profound impact. May you become examples of integrity and kindness.
Embrace a sense of responsibility. In life, one must shoulder responsibilities towards society, careers, family, and even oneself. Only by taking on these responsibilities can you truly demonstrate your own life's value.
No matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, wisdom and courage are the keys to solving all problems. The British philosopher Francis Bacon once said, "A man's destiny is mainly within his own hands." In the complexities of life, you may often face choices. Only with a clear mind, independent thinking, personal integrity, and the courage to face challenges will you have the right direction in life.
Cultivate the habit of reading and lifelong learning. Reading enlightens the mind, cultivates wisdom, and allows you to constantly yearn for and pursue knowledge. With wisdom, you can understand and change the world. By doing so, you will always be curious about the world, passionate about life, and filled with a kind-hearted love for others.
Lastly, I hope you will not forget your alma mater. Stay connected with the school, keep an eye on its development and changes. The teachers bless you and await your wonderful achievements!
Wishing all the students good health, happiness, and academic success! Thank you!
