"你会发现，未来可能不会一帆风顺。每个阶段都对不同的人提出了不同的挑战。有时是关于学业压力，有时是关于人际关系，经济困难，等等。未来是不可预测的，不断变化的，挫折将会是常态。尽管如此，作为在协和浦东长大的学生们，我们相信，你们会对沮丧或傲慢说不，你们已经学会拥抱决心和坚韧！ "

  ■■■■

"我建议你们所有人去设定一个高目标，并就如何实现这些目标制定详尽的计划。你们每个人都有惊人的独特才能，你们有责任不断发展去追求你们的目标，无论你们的目标是什么。你们都有潜力，能够得到你们想要的任何东西，所以未来能够走多远，决定权都在你们自己手里。保持热情，朝着一些你热爱的重要事情努力，正如甘地所说，‘成为你想在世界上看到的变化’。 "

  ■■■■

"你们都是独一无二的人，有很多积极的品质，所以要快乐，要成功，在大学和工作面试中脱颖而出，不满足于生活中的第二名，并努力成为你想成为的人！祝你们未来的学习好运，我希望你们最终能找到一个快乐的家，一个美妙的工作场所，无论是在中国还是在世界其他地方。 "

  ■■■■

"祝愿所有学生在未来有一个快乐和满足的生活。愿我们所有的梦想和抱负成真，让我们获得应有的成功。 "

  ■■■■

"今天之后，我们将踏上不同的道路不再属于某个地方，但是让我们依旧会在未来的某天，想起今日或是过去，美丽的、失落的、在协和的所有生活。 "

  ■■■■

"需要铭记于心的是，你们在这里获得的知识和技能不仅仅是为了个人所得，更应该为社会的进步而互通有无。我们需要看到自己作为全球公民的角色，利用好你们所接受的教育为世界做出有意义的贡献，为积极的变革呐喊。

恭喜2023届毕业班同学们！感谢你们以自己的成就激励着我们。愿你们继续怀着坚定的决心追逐梦想，未来充满成功、幸福和成就。 "

2023年的夏天，因你们而绚烂。

今天过后，你们或将启程去往世界各地，或将开始打造自有品牌，或将进入间隔年。但不论如何，我们都相信，这是最好的决定和最美的期待。

协和浦东2023届毕业生们，我们未来再见。愿你们在顶峰，不期而遇。

On 27th June, 2023, you graduated as the sixth cohort of the SUIS Pudong Sanlin Campus.

All of these have become part of your student life. Throughout the journey, you surely have had doubts, but you have persevered and now you have reached the day you all have been looking forward to: graduation. 

Congratulations! Today is your day, the day of graduation.

"You will find that the future might not be a smooth sailing. Each stage presents different challenges for different persons. Sometimes it’s about academic pressure, other times about interpersonal relationships, financial difficulties, and many more. The future is unpredictable and ever-changing where setbacks become the norm. Despite that, as students who grew up at SUIS Pudong, you will say no to frustration or arrogance, only to embrace determination and perseverance! "

  ■■■■

"I advise all of you to set high goals and make serious, step-by-step plans about how to achieve them. Every single one of you has amazing unique talents and it’s your duty to keep developing those in pursuit of your goals whatever they may be.  You all have the potential and are in an excellent position to get whatever you want in life, so it’s up to you how far you want to go.  So stay motivated, work toward something important that you’re passionate about and as Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see in the world”.   "

  ■■■■

"You are all unique individuals with so many positive qualities, so be happy, be successful, stand out at University and at job interviews, never settle for second best in life and strive to become the person you want to be!

Good luck in your future studies and I hope you all end up finding a happy place to call home and a wonderful place to work, whether it is here in China or elsewhere in the world. "

  ■■■■

"I wish everyone here the best of luck as we move forward to the next stage of growth and great things to come.  "

  ■■■■

"We have worked hard, and this is the culmination of our efforts. As we move forward, let us remember the lessons we have learned, the friendships we have made, and the experiences we have gone through. Let us embrace the challenges that lie ahead and continue to grow and learn. "

  ■■■■

"Remember, the knowledge and skills you have acquired during your time with us are not just for personal gain but are meant to be shared for the betterment of society. Embrace your roles as responsible global citizens, using your education to contribute meaningfully to the world and to advocate for positive change.

Congratulations, Class of 2023! Thank you for inspiring us all with your achievements. May you continue to pursue your dreams with unwavering determination, and may your futures be filled with success, happiness, and fulfillment. "

The summer of 2023 is shining because of you. 

From now on, you will probably head off to different parts of the world, or start your own business, or take a gap year. However, we firmly believe that this is the best decision made and we can expect great things to happen. 

Graduates of 2023, we will meet each other in the summit some time in the future.
