But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 20__, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities. Even your nationality sets you apart. The great majority of you belong to the world’s only remaining superpower. The way you vote, the way you live, the way you protest, the pressure you bring to bear on your government, has an impact way beyond your borders. That is your privilege, and your burden.
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my children’s godparents, the people to whom I’ve been able to turn in times of trouble, friends who have been kind enough not to sue me when I’ve used their names for Death Eaters. At our graduation we were bound by enormous affection, by our shared experience of a time that could never come again, and, of course, by the knowledge that we held certain photographic evidence that would be exceptionally valuable if any of us ran for Prime Minister.
So today, I can wish you nothing better than similar friendships. And tomorrow, I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom:
毕业典礼学生发言 篇3
各位老师,各位家长,小朋友们:大家晚上好!
我是马梦阳小朋友的妈妈。今天是我们儿童发展幼儿园大班小朋友们的毕业典礼, 我谨代表所有毕业生家长,对儿童发展幼儿园的全体老师表示衷心的感谢:老师, 你们辛苦了!
儿童发展幼儿园,按照字面理解,它的办学指导思想应该是:为了 孩子的发展而教育,开发孩子们的智力,挖掘孩子们的潜能、培养孩子们习惯,教 孩子们做人的道理, 等等,一切教育活动都为孩子们将来的发展而开展。教学 目标明确,定位科学合理。
发展幼儿园的老师们都很年轻,但是都有一颗天使般的心灵。这四年来,他们帮助了我们在座的所有家长,帮我们教育孩子,安慰孩子,替孩子们擦眼泪,给孩子们喂饭,甚至给孩子们换洗尿湿了的裤子。是她们帮我们把孩子从拖着鼻涕咿呀学语的幼儿教育成能唱会跳、聪明活泼的少儿。而这其中的大部分老师还仅仅是二十岁左右的孩子,还没有养育过自己的子女。这是一种多么难能可贵的精神啊!她们的爱心、她们的耐心、他们的职业精神值得我们每一位家长学习。有一件事情我永远记在心里。那天早晨我把孩子送到幼儿园,孩子却哭着牵住我的衣服不肯松手,这时候一位身怀六甲的老师走过来,她轻轻弯下腰,拉起孩子的手说:走,老师带你去玩,妈妈要上班了。看到老师的微笑,孩子擦把眼泪, 顺从地跟着老师走了,望着一大一小两个背影手拉手吃力地爬上楼梯,我的眼泪无声地流了下来。多么善良的老师啊,把孩子交给这么好的老师还有什么不放心的呢?当天,我在博客里写了一篇文章作为纪念。
教育是一个系统工程,需要老师们的正确引导,需要家长们的积极配合,同时需要全社会的共同关心和支持。对于这一点,我们儿童发展幼儿园的领导老师们牢牢记在心里,并且在不断地努力和呼唤。四年来,幼儿园开展过形式多样的家园互动活动,并且多次邀请家庭教育专家骆林栋校长以及其他一些专家来做报告,为家长们传授育儿经验。虽然在座的很多家长都受过良好的教育,看过很多的书,但是对于孩子的教育问题,我相信我们都需要不断地学习。比如我自己,虽然平时接送孩子的次数不多,但是幼儿园的每一次活动,每一个讲座,我都不曾错过,我觉得在孩子教育方面,我需要向所有人学习。
最后,我想借此机会特别感谢两个人,第一个是我的阿姨,她不是孩子的亲外婆,却亲似外婆,四年来风雨无阻地帮我接送孩子,照顾孩子,疼爱孩子,是她们一家人帮我度过难关。另外要感谢的人是大班班主任钟愉老师,她以最朴实的情感和最大的耐心,带领三十多个孩子走过了风风雨雨四年时间,不抛弃,不放弃,始终如一陪在孩子们身边,她陪我们孩子的时间超过陪伴自己孩子的时间。
