I am honored to be with you today at there to share the feelings and ideals of mine. At the same time, thanks for my university provide the chance for me.
The following paragraph will tell you about my university and ideals.
Many Chinese parents regard their children’s success in school as the only source of happiness. In fact, since the year of 1977 when it was brought back again, GAOKAO has been seen as a turning point of the destiny of millions of students. Students could only qualify themselves with high scores in GAOKAO. It is a common phenomenon in China, that students stay up all night to recite books, not to mention that their parents work hard only to afford their kids tuition fees in cram schools. I believe all contestants here have experienced this throughout their teenage life. However, a disappointing fact is that when we are finally admitted to colleges, we lose all the motivation and passion of life. We don’t know why we should come here except for satisfying our parents. A university maybe the dream theater for many other people, but it has nothing to do with you if you have no dreams to realize in the future. What matters is not where we are, but what we do with the resources around us. You must know who you are, instead of care about your degree or the fame of the college. A person is only defined by his behavior. You will shine anywhere as long as you believe that you are a diamond, and the ones who have no passion for lives would rot even if they are put in the best refrigerator.
Considering "who you are" and "who you want to be", we have to talk about our ideal. Ideal is not equal with dream. How much your desire to success determines whether you can realize the target. My ideal is to be a teacher, so I take education and psychology this term. In addition, my clear logic and good ability to express made me did well in my main course. Many classmates usually ask me questions on economics and investment. I think this is an invisible power which push me forward towards my ideal step by step. To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things. To some, it means success and fame in their career; to others, a peaceful life.
The process of pursuing ideal is like the process of gold washing. When your dreams are thrown into the river of actuality, you make great efforts to fishing it, which is your ideal.
So, to set up an ideal does not merely mean to go without doing anything. Real and concrete action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing to do is to study both inside and outside school. We should not be bookworms, but to be well-equipped and prepared for the pursuit of our ideals. Finally, I want to say that, if you identify your way, the world is gonna give its way to you.
When tomorrow turns in today, yesterday, and someday that no more important in your memory, we suddenly realize that we are pushed forward by time. This is not a train in still in which you may feel forward when another train goes by. It is the truth that we’ve all grown up. And we become different. As a result, dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one youth and one life to do all the things you want to do.
