大学英语演讲稿1I decided to be a middle school teacher after college. There are many reasons contribute to this decision.
Firstly, when I was a little boy, I have been dreaming of being a teacher. It seemed so fascinate to me and I hope I can make my dream come true.
Besides, I like so much to be with middle school students. Most of the students at that age are full of youthful spirity and I am sure their passion would pass to me. I will retain all the zest of adolescence.
The most important reason is that our country needs plenty of teachers. So far, teaching is considered a tough and low-income job in China. However, if we have not enough teachers, our future will lack of excellent scientist, managers, businessmen, soldiers and even goood workers and farmers. How can our country to be strong and wealthy?
I wish my country to be a better one. I am ready to be a teacher and hope all the persons with lofty ideals may dedicate themselves to this meaningful career.
大学英语演讲稿2Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.

The most successful person may not be the smartest ones.According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same university ten years ago , those whose grade-point average was in the middle fifty percent , all become rich or managers of different fields , while not a single young man of the upper ten percent becomes an executive or boss. Why the smartest kids in the classwill not end up the richest? Why those who are not excellent in studies tend to be managers or own their own enterprise in their later life? And what factors lead to succein career and life if brains are not the only answer? According to my observation , academic brightneis only part of the story , the other factors are very important. One ingredient , among other things , is good interpersonal skills. There is stong evidence that friendship can help to tide you over a period of difficulty.
With a wide circle of friends who can be trusted yo provide information and resources, your chances of succeare much higher. On the cntrary , if you are competent in profession , but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation. Another component is the ability to expreoneself . In today s world , what really counts is the ability to expreoneself rather than technical competence or professional knowledge . The larger the orgnization of which you are an employee , and th fiercer the competition , the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts and convince others of your ideas. Personality is also an important factor. Whatever difficulty or situation , those who appear relaxed and confident are nearer to success. Obviously , among the ingredients for succe, intelligence counts for the half , the rest depends on your personality , and other abilities.
大学英语演讲稿4A King who did't have children wanted an honest boy to be his inheritant.
He told all the boys who wanted to be chosen“Today I give each of you a seed,after three monthes,the boy who gets the most beatiful flower will be my inheritant."Three monthes passed,all the clever and bright boys took their beatiful flowers to flatter the King except one boy having nothing in his pot with his eyes full of tears.The boy said to the King:“My honorable King,I water it every day,feed her carefully,even when sleeping,I didn't let it away from me,but I can get nothing in the end.”
The King laughed:"You can get nothing,my honest prince,because what I have given to you is burned seeds!"
大学英语演讲稿5“很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的'定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随便哪个“大卫”，比如说，“大卫·贝克汉姆”，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。如果我们再改一改比赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话、，实际上也没有什么比赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中，“成功”的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言，生性羞涩，容易怯场，不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。我完全可以待在一边，不参加大学级别的比赛，而落得轻松自在。可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了，如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。如果，我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。对我来说，这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
大学英语演讲稿6Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
With time goes by, it becomes a bit hard for me to remember everything about myself at the first day of my college life. However, there was one thing for sure that I did feel quite excited and curious about my university. There is no doubt that students like me have struggled for a long time so that can be permitted to enter the university.
Bringing with expectation, I got into Zhejiang Gongshang University. Generally speaking, it's an interesting and fantastic place for us to study and live in. Every day a series of outgoing people get into my eyesight. Curious and out of politeness, I'd talk to them heart to heart. Here I make friends with my new classmates from everywhere around China. What's more, time and weather permitting, I will enjoy jogging or playing basketball with my classmates on the playground, tired but happy. When staying in dormitory, I choose to read news online and sometimes watch a film for relaxing.
My college life
As a sophomore, I am feeling the time flies. Recalling about the past one year, so many thoughts are flooding in my mind. At this time, I just can’t tell my real idea. The memory is just like so fresh, and all the things happened yesterday!
When first day I came to University, I really feel that the school is very good, but at the first sight of the dormitory, something disappointing come up to me! The condition of the dormitory is really very poor with only one room, no lavatory! I saw something sad in my father’s eyes, maybe that time he thought of the poor condition! So with a big smile on my face, I told my father” it doesn’t matter, Dad. In this kind of condition, I will get myself better!” My father felt better. But when he was coming back, seeing his back, I just wanted to cry! I felt in this city I was just isolated, from that time, I said to myself, “ you have no others who can help you here, just depend on yourself”
And then I came to my dormitory 303. I considered that I would spend four years here (in fact I moved to another one year later) and my dorm mates are all there. Most of them came from Sichuan and they were chatting with a happy voice, but I can’t understand them! Again, I felt myself isolated! I hated that kind of feeling, and then I said to hello to them! To my surprise they are very friendly to me and warm-hearted! I no longer felt afraid. And I got along well with them. But at the first night here, I burst out to tears for that I was missing my family. I don’t know why. Everyday when I was at home, I was just eager to go to school, to experience the wonderful college life but when coming here, I am just eager to go back! It’s quite strange though, you must know this kind of feeling!
Just spending about 2 days here, we were on our way to military train. To us, it’s a fresh train and a kind of experience to know the life between the classmates. But to me, I was nervous but excited. This was my first and precious train life because before going to school I have been staying with my family. So, you know, it’s just this kind of feeling I can’t convey it clearly! The train life is impressive on everybody; we had a lot of activities, for example giving a speech on a stage or singing together or playing basketball. At that time, I felt myself so little among them. All of them have a special talent but not me. I admired them but meanwhile jealousy. Why don’t I have this kind of talent? Am I stupid? I always said to myself. So that time I was also very ambitious, just eager to catch up with them. Except the classmates, the trainer in our team also left a deep impression on me! He was not very handsome and very kind. Just because of his kindness results in my laughter when training. He always said to me that I should be serious in the team but I didn’t listen to him. So after a long time, when investigating the training result, I gave them a disappointing answer. The highest trainer sent me to clean the toilet, although, it didn’t means insulting to my dignity, but I was really sad about myself and my heart was hurt. That was a small thing but told me that I need to be serious to one thing. And unhappiness passed, the happy and funny time recalled me that folding the blanket. Yeah, it’s really very funny. Most of us had never folded the blanket and naturally we can’t accomplish the task well. When the monitor came, we pleased him to help us to fold the blanket. To our expect, we managed to persuade the monitor. After the monitor finished the task for me. I dared not to touch the blanket again and just used the clothes instead of the blanket. Of course, I felt very cold in deep night, so to my instinct, I crashed into my classmate’s blanket. And we were scratching the single blanket fiercely, just like a war.

My Dream College Life
I just entered college in September, college life is brand new concept for me. As a freshman of the school, I would dream my college life as following. First, I believe I will work hard to achieve my academic goal. I want to major in accounting because I believe accounting is the language of business. Accounting is a very important concept for each businessman. As the result, I believe a career in accounting will provide me a higher living standard and better life in my future. However,college life should be fun and unforgettable in additional to study. I believe joining clubs and participate in different activities will be good for me. First of all, I can expand my network through the activities and the clubs I participate. I can make friends over there. Second, I wish I can hold some positions in some clubs that related to my accounting major. The reasons for that are following: (1) meet more people who have the same interest as me, listen to their advice will be good for my academic development. (2) we can exchange information about the major, so we can improve ourselves. (3) holding a position means taking responsibility. It is very important on the resume because the employers will take consideration on this part.
I believe great college life means outstanding academic performance and joyful extra curriculum activities!
第一篇: Hello everyone.Today I'm glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University. First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high school.For instance,I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time.But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class.And then even worse there would be nobody remind me except my teacher!So the differences are everywhere and I could easily find them.The change of life is great and it's wonderful:I have more time of my own and the rights to decide how I live. My campus activities are rich and colorful.Learning English has bee a habit to me cause I plan to study abroad in next few years.Playing Guzheng is my favorite activity.I have kept on practising it since I was a little girl and I wish to win more petitions in my campus life. Our university has the first level equipments and the most experienced teachers,also has the best students(laugh).I consider it to be a honor that I've got a chance to study here and I sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus! 第二篇: ==================== 我的大学生活（103字） ==================== I am majoring in English in my university. At first, I got very nervous whenever I have to give my opinion and make a presentation in class, because I had not had such experiences before. However, I think that it is the valuable experiences to get accustomed to express my own opinions and feelings. A pleasant part of university life is long vacations. It is very good to consider a plan. I am considering about staying in Australia in next summer vacation. I think it will be an enjoyable vacation and an opportunity for me to get an incentive for the language study. 第三篇: My First Day on Campus- I still remember the day when I first came to the college. Being a boy of 17, I was longing for a new life as a college student:hut, at the same time I had no idea what college life would be like. That morning when the bus carried me to the gate of the college, I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth. From now on,I would be a student of this college. After registration,we were led by an instructor to the dormitory,where,for the first time, we were going to live without our parents but with roommates. I was so clumsy that I did not know how to make the bed and fix the mosquito . In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates. To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself. As we were walking along, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, "Oh,look at these freshmen!" It was our middleschool-students' looks that gave us away. We continued our tour of the college,inspecting every building and every garden until the sun began to set. In the evening,we sat together, talking about the past and the future. We were so excited that no one wanted to go to bed. 第四篇: 描述大学生活的英语作文 My college life I am proud of being a college student. I like my college life as it is so wonderful time in my youth. As being born in *** all village of the remote countryside, I didn't have a good education environment. However, I set a goal and felt confident to be a college student. After hard study, I passed the entrance examination of national college by excellent achievement. All people were proud of me, as I was the first college student in my village. I was farewell warmly by them when I came to school. I was warmly wele by school, too. After then, I’ve felt my study is not only for myself but also for the honor of my village neighborhood and our school. The college life is wonderful. All life in school are fresh. New teachers, new clas *** ates and fresh friends are around me. I’ve felt their friendship, wide knowledge and opening mind. The grand library, school buildings and wide playground are very attracting to me. I am very eager to learn much knowledge quickly. In high school, I was ever called as a runner before time. Now,I know I am behind time so much in fact. I hope to catch up with the time by my hard studying. Every day, you can see me get up early, doing exercise hard and go to school the first one. At night, I am the one who leaves away the library.
My University Life
As everybody knows, the life in university is of great difference from that in high school. You don’t have to spend all your energy on your study. You will have much more spare time when entering university. There are plenty of associations organized by students on high grade, such as Guitar Association. Art Association, English Association, Film Association. You can join an association which you are interested in so as to make your life in university lovely and interesting.
University is not only a place where you can learn something useful from textbooks, but also a place where you can improve your ability to communicate with others. Don’t be shy or nervous. All you have to do is speaking louder when you are standing before a great many people.
As far as I can see, self-control is one of the most important characters you ought to have. Maybe some students believe that they can play all day long without anything to do. If you really think that the life in university is full of freedom and you can do whatever you want to do, you will make a great mistake. ”Life is not easy for everybody, especially for those who hopes to lead a happy life”, a famous lady once said. That is to say , you have to try your best to learn and to pass exams in order to make your life become better and better with time going on . Make sure that you will not kill the time listening to the popular music or seeing the latest films.
Time won’t wait for a man. If you do your best to change your life, you won’t be regretful when you are old. If you put your heart into study, you will receive more than you expect to.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Make yourself a hard-working student.
My campus life
Before entering university, I thought college was like heaven. Going to university was my dream and I was looking forward to it. In my opinion, campus life was happy and very different from high school. There you can do anything you like. You didn’t have to do such much homework as before and didn’t have to stay up all night long. You didn’t have such pressure given by teachers or parents. Besides, you might date a girl or a boy you live. In a word, we would be free and happy.
After entering university, I find I am wrong and it’s different from what I thought. Here I have much pressure, because I’m not as good as others in study or art. I lose my confidence. I feel unhappy and very disappointed about my campus life and very frustrated.
In college you have to study if you want to be better than others.
You have to preview the lesson before class if you want to understand it. As a student majoring in English, you have to refer to a heavy dictionary most of the time. I am not used to English-only class for the first time. I can’t figure mew words out sometimes. I know I need more practice.
Besides, campus life is colorful and you have much free time. In you spare time, you may go shopping in varied department stores and supermarkets. You can also take part in all kinds of activities such as English corner, body-building dance, speaking competition. If you have enough courage, you will show yourself very well and you’ll be a star of campus.
Such is campus life, interesting and challenging. Gradually I adjust my new life on campus. I believe I’ll have a wonderful time in four years.
My University Life
University, a good name, a beautiful place. Many students dream of it. After college entrance examination, I chose Henai Agriculture University. I believed my dream would become true there.
Fortunately, I was accepted by Henai Agriculture University. Now, I’m standing outside my dormitory on the fourth floor, locking the green campus, thinking, thinking……
On thinking I’ll spend my four-year university life here. I feel not only excited but also nervous and challenging.
Indeed, in such short time, I feel free as if I was a bird which just flied out of a cage. There are fewer lessons, and also I don’t have to get up earlier. In a word, there is enough time for me to study alone, to visit the library, to wander……
In addition, I feel the pressure of the competition here. There are so many persons of ability. Several days ago, I failed. But as we all know, nothing is too unsuccessful if you put your heart into trying it. It’s just a beginning. I believe there will be more chances to temper and present myself.
In short, I hope my university life is full of happiness, rather than sadness.
At last, I want to say, dream is sowed here and also success will be harvested here.
The four-year university is approaching the end of life. This is a short span of four years, but my life is precious four years. Over the past four years, I have a rash of juvenile growth for a public hospital qualified graduates, to describe itself is not an exaggeration. Can be summed up in the past aside time for the fog, clear look back on the road, so as to the future of the journey in life to prepare some of the experiences and lessons.
The four-year university study and life is the main line. University study is very different from the past in a new form, it gives the students a greater autonomy and a broader space of thinking, as well as learners of a higher demand. In this semi-open mode of teaching requires learners must have a clear purpose of the study, there are more choices and greater ability to distinguish self-learning ability. In this regard, I should like to thank the four years of university study and life in this period of the previous setbacks and success, so I really know how to conduct self-study, how to choose a purpose of study, followed by their own self - And learning efficiency. And learning beyond the extra-curricular activities involved in science and technology, but also for learning a consolidated and strengthened, not only to improve my ability to broaden my knowledge, but also in the process of constant exploration, but also to To learn more about their own things to update, which further enrich their knowledge.
People living in the homes of four years, not just from knowledge of what the campus rigorous style of study of practical, innovative and realistic atmosphere, but also exerts a subtle influence on my thinking and learning, all of which mode of thinking and the ability to access, is I study a few years the biggest gains, and this is bound to affect my future life.
In one of the growth process, the needs of not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also need to correct the ideological foundation and a correct outlook on life and values. Can continue to have the knowledge, and outlook on life, once formed, a person's life are immeasurable. Tsinghua University in the past few years, I can feel the teaching in schools, educating people on the importance of the link. The theme of a wide range of activities, to explore a wide range of ideas, influences the formation of my life. Before entering a university before, life for me, is a false comparison of things, although I can feel its presence and role, but have not formed a clear concept. In the four years of university study and life, because of their thinking, learning and a number of external factors, so I created a basic set of life. For life, everyone has their own pursuit. For the life of the universe, however, is a short moment, and for the individual, only an opportunity and never look back.
Junior practice to go out, burdened with heavy luggage, but also burdened with their own ideals and decided to go to a strange city, looking for work was successful, but also a large advertising design company, into the company since the first day I had An effort to learn something positive attitude towards work, I am grateful to the director has taught me to constantly improve their design capabilities; I thank from the United States into the company's first day on the patient's taught me a lot I do not Understand things; thanks to copy and AE, I first entered in the company's code did not understand, my enthusiasm for the help. Thanks to hone in on the platform of that period of time, it is time that inspired my enthusiasm and fighting spirit!
In short, towards their own goal,过好每一天substantial, as long as no regrets, is successful. The talent, is a long process of accumulation, must be dedicated to progressive, practical struggle, it is expected to taste the joy of success. People at different times have different views and ideas, but this is only a change in form, the foundation has its deep roots in the depths of thinking is hard to change. In later life, positive, life will be the laughter of my principles and the driving force of loving the country, practical, ambitious talent is the cornerstone of my life.
Time to rush water, the twinkling of an eye between the university close to the end of four years on. Time to stand in the ring, Muran Looking back, we found a four-year university is so wonderful. Lonely and happy co-existence with the leisurely pace in the same struggle, Cowardly and courageous want. Ah, we have to test a burning the midnight oil, we have the childish behavior and laughed, we had the face of the unknown future of the former is not timid. But now we have This is quite different from the four years of our achievements in wind and rain. We understand what is the lone, brave what is and what is the real struggle. As we enter the community, not strive to complete the full complement of subjects, Work actively in the efforts to apply what they have learned, the hard-working and motivated to go to school during its own inertia entirely correct, the courage to face the difficulties and setbacks, the growth during difficult times, in the community to become useful to society in the future.
Not eternal level of the road, life does not change the norm, each of us will inevitably encounter difficulties and setbacks, in the face of difficulties and setbacks, we should dare to struggle, dare to climb, should not give up on themselves the blame on others, Should not live in that they turned out the bright lights of the self-free soap bubble in the wasted time, wasted their youth, in fact, everyone in the university on the road is not easy, not easy, only experienced the suffering and the opportunity of bettering In order to hone life gradually matured into a perfect, so that youth can no regrets, so that a well-deserved for Love! Leaving a painful, is a kind of courage, but also a test of a new beginning, we hope that in future new capacity to determine their own new starting point, perseverance and toward newer and higher goal Because the best things in life are always in the forefront!
I substantial completion of his career students, but "the long road repair come far, Wujiang and search up and down." In the days, I have to be more strict demands on themselves, to correct shortcomings in work to progress in life is a milestone in the university, a milestone in the often around a lot at the junction of the fork, and graduation means we have to choose a Continues down the road. Before graduation, we had to; graduation, we had shed tears; do after graduation? Let us be grateful heart, tears of emotion and deep feeling of love into pious wishes, wishing everyone has a bright future
University for a four-year struggle for self-course basis, but even more cooperation is the key. In four years, every time I encountered setbacks, every difficulty, there are friends and fellow students eager to help, and get every bit of success, but also to share with you, this is a great happiness in life. We are grateful to all classes of students, to thank all the confidence in me, help me, thank you for your friendship to me, I will always cherish the!
In the doldrums, I thought of as such as Lu Xun's "cry," Ginsburg "Howl." However, when I work in the face, think of the phrase is more Jewish Gu Yan, "A Reflection humanity, God laugh."
In my understanding, if we refer to an ideal college life as a formal western dinner, then a high GPA, that is, Grade Point Average, should be the main course, while an active part in activities, together with associations, means the appetizer. Some romances, of course, play the role as desserts. They are the 3 key elements for an ideal college life.
Those, however, are not what college life is all about. As we all know, college is wildly different from middle school. It connects not only adolescence to adulthood, but also the ivory tower to the real society. Therefore, the ideal college life is that I become matured both physically and mentally, and that I obtain qualified academic knowledge and get well prepared for society at the same time.
Under this circumstance, I never expect my college life to be too ideal, or you can call it too perfect. It is not realistic to make all things on my own way, with everyone liking me, winning the first prize all the time, and so on. Of course, I’d like to lead a carefree life. However, this does little good to my future. What really helps is hardships like failure, betrayal, and unjust treatment. Only after experiencing those can I know what society is like, and what life is like.
To conclude my speech, I wanna say, some positive experiences are surely part of the ideal college life. But, I should not forget about the negative sides. They are not less necessary.
Good day everybody!
First, I want to share an analogy of what college means to me. From my experiences, College is like an orange (similar to like Hobart's colors), the orange representing the college education and the juice representing the substance, or better yet, what you got out of the experience. Over the four years I have had at this great college, I can honestly say that I have squeezed as much juice out of the orange as I possibly could have. I hope you all feel the same way.
When I arrived at the college in the fall of 2000, I entered with a clean slate. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I wasn't sure what professional route I wanted to take. I continued with my passion for Spanish and Computer Science, and in the process, learned a lot about my identity. I found my limits, I found my strengths, and I found other scholarly interests. Granted, I took advantage of everything this wonderful place had to offer---I did six internships, studied abroad in Madrid, double majored and double minored, and served in a variety of leadership capacities on campus. However, during all of this, I felt that there was something missing. I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. I was a nervous, naive first year, trying to find his way through college life. However, I managed my way through Introduction to Biology, Intermediate Programming, History, and Spanish to emerge loving college life.
Pressing on, sophomore year had many twists and turns. I served as Secretary of HSG. September 11th occurred, and my life was almost in ruins due to extenuating circumstances. It was that year that I learned how strong I really was. I continued my studies and involvements, trying to get the most I could out my Hobart education. The text on the chapel sundial expresses my feelings of sophomore year, the Latin Pereunt et Impernateur, which means "the moments that pass are then charged to us," meaning that you should make the most of your time at the college. Ladies and gentlemen, take advantage of what HWS has to offer---or as the etching on the Hobart shield states, the Latin Disce, or in English "LEARN!"
Junior year rolled by and I found myself studying abroad in Madrid, Spain for the first half---enjoying every moment of it. I even was fortunate enough to meet my German relatives, as well as family in England, which was quite amazing, because I never met them at all and I felt a deep connection with my family's rich heritage. President Gearan said in a speech two years ago during Charter Day that one should "remember his/her roots." I can say that I know where my family came from and that felt great. I came back Junior Spring, getting back into the swing of things and running for the Vice Presidency of the Hobart Student Government. It was great to be back, although a part of me still is back in Europe. Senior year feels like it flew by. With the maelstrom of degree checkouts, job applications, resumes, graduate school applications, homework, projects, and internships, it was amazing that I was able to survive. Nonetheless, I am confident as I graduate from Hobart. I will miss my professors, advisors, and mentors deeply. These people have shaped me to become the person that I am today. I am reminded of a quote from John Lennon, who always said "Life is what happens when you are making other plans." He is indeed correct---even though we all make plans to do other things, whether it is after graduation, or switching jobs, we cannot freeze time---because life will continue on while we make our plans.
Even though I received a top-notch education at HWS, I found a deeper part of myself within the curriculum at the Colleges. When I took Making Connections during my sophomore year, it was at that turning point that I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. Making Connections deals with crucial social issues and presents ways of being an ally---with relation to the "-isms": sexism, racism, classism, homophobia/heterosexism, hate crimes, international awareness, and ableism. I'll admit I wasn't too politically active when I first came to campus---but it was through this course---and the Peer Education in Human Relations Program that I learned what I wanted to do with my life. Couple all of this my study abroad experiences and studies in Latin-American and Spanish cultures, and the product is a student who thinks globally and is sensitive to social justice issues. It was through Peer Education in Human Relations that I learned that we, as communities and as a society, must take a stance on diversity and social justice issues---issues that face our society in the twenty-first century and beyond---which span not just the United States, but internationally, as well.
From my experiences of growing up with a sister with Down's syndrome, I understand that not everyone has the same advantages as others and is subject to prejudice by our society. In fact, I learned that the other day that over 1,700 children of disability are waiting for care in the State of Connecticut---due to budget cuts---despite attempts to secure help from the federal and state s. These children are living anywhere the State can put them---even jails! We cannot allow prejudice or apathy like this to affect our world. We must take a stand.
As I leave Hobart College this May, I aspire to attend law school. It is my hope to go into public interest law, possibly international law and would like to eventually become a senator or a judge. It is with a law degree that I feel I can dedicate my life to others who don't necessarily have the means to help themselves. This is the crux of what social justice work entails---standing up for what you believe in.
The charge I issue to all of you this morning is the following: What are you willing to stand up for? In a country that is consumed with materialism, greed, status, politics, and popularity, we do not place enough emphasis on individualism, service, and standing up for our own rights and the rights of others. Whether you are graduating in a few weeks like I am, or you have a year or more at the Colleges, my advice for you is to find something you believe in and stick to it. Cultivate it. Develop it. Enrich it.
Going back to my question, I ask you all again: What you are willing to stand up for? If you know of rape or sexual assault that has/is occurring, take a stand and report it. If you know of hate crimes occurring against people of color, people of other religions, people of other cultures, or people of other sexual orientations, do something and take action against it! If you see a person of disability---help them out! If you hear prejudicial jokes, take a stand and explain to the person why such dialogue is incorrect. Take a stand to help to stop the perpetuation of hate, prejudice, and violence and become an ally. New York Senator Hillary Clinton sums it up best in a speech she gave at the Commencement Exercises at the University of Pennsylvania: "What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities." It is in fact, our differences that make us all great.
I encourage all of you to make an impact on society. Write your senators and congressmen. Run for office. Read as much as you can. Ask questions. Pique your intellectual curiosity. Attend speaker lectures. Do public service. Get involved. Study abroad. Travel. Become cultured. LEARN! It is through these actions that you all can become culturally competent leaders for the twenty-first century, and hopefully you will all be able to answer the question I have set forth for all of you: What are you willing to stand up for?
Thank you.
Romance can wait
Good morning everybody!
The topic I am going to present to you today is “Romance can wait.”
My fellow classmates, I am sure you still remember the day you got the acceptance letter from the college. You were excited. You were happy. You uttered a big sigh of relief. You were very proud to tell your parents, your teachers, your relatives, your buddies,” I made it! I made it!” After all, we all had been working hard for this day to come.
When we came to the college, we are surrounded by a new environment. We meet new classmates. College life is sweet and wonderful. We all come to a time to love as well as to be loved. This is a very natural and inevitable thing. We want to have fun like all other young people our ages do. This is fine and it is understandable. But some of us get confused about the main focus at college. Some of us assume that college is a rose garden. Some of us just want to idle the time and have fun with their sweethearts.
Boys and girls, college life is wonderful. But we can’t just idle our time .We have set new goals. We face new challenges. I don’t know if you have realized that the world is getting smaller and flatter. It is more like a global village now. We face more and more competitions and pressures from all over the world. If we want to grow and flourish in a flat world, we need to think globally. We’d better learn how to change and align ourselves with the fast changing world. We have to constantly upgrade our skills. There will be plenty of good jobs out there in the flat world for people with the knowledge and ideas to seize them.
Boys and girls, let me tell you this loud and clear:Romance can wait. Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
Thank you and wish you all the best!
my campus life
Every person has a unique experience and a story to tell about his campus life and first day in school, and for that matter, passage through their student life. My story goes something like this. The first day I went to the unversity and the times I spent in the campus.
When I was still a little girl,I have had a dream.It just like a bird,take me far a way in the future.My grandmother told me that where there’s a will,there’s a way.How time flies!Today,my dream finally became true.
The first day when I came in to my new school,I knew,a completely new life would start,and I felt my heart had already can't w
and my mew classroom.A new beginning could always give people a lot of surprise and wait.
How to discribe my new campus? I think I can describe it in "Three S's, they are: Small, Sweet and Simple.Small campus with sweet green trees and simple buildings,every where just looks like a beautiful picture.The most unusual view is that you can see students in white clothes walking in the campus everywhere, and a lot of white pigeons flying or walking around you .
Time gose by .In a flash,I have had spent two years in the university.All the years of my university life, I have made many friends and they have helped me a lot in my academics. Many a time I used to have angry anguments with my friends. But, then I think that everything is fair in friendship.Only real friends could contain each other.In my school life I am gifted with excellent class teachers and subject teachers. They always gave me so much help in study,and ofcause excellance classes.
Growing and learning had been a great fun. Every year my system would hold an art and sports competition .I had a grate fun in playing volleyball. So I took part in the team of my class.Finally,we got the first place in the competition. There were also football games ,basketball games ,and so on.I enjoyed every game of those competions. I was very fond of singsing, so I took part in many different singing competions.and I won a couple of prizes.That made me love singsing more and more . Some friends of mine also loved it. We usually sang together in our bedroom after school.At the same time we all used to get lots of fun from our beautiful sound.
Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life. I feel very happy and I think in everybody's school life there are many ups and downs that mould one's life. School is a place where all of us learn to care and share. "School" is just not a place, but it is a large dome made up of discipline, knowledge, love and affection. I think in everybody's success, school plays a key role. I shall describe my school again in "Three S's, they are: Small, Sweet and Simple. My school was the best, is the best and will be the best.
ait to see my new classmates, new bedroom
祝你成功！！！
