Dear principals, teachers and students, Good morning!
I’m Wendy Wang from Weiming Southlands senior class. I became a student of Southlands at 2017.
Today I am honored to represent all returning students and the student council to welcome you to come to this campus. Welcome all returning students who are refreshed and radiant after summer break and ready to resume campus life. Welcome all new students who have just become part of this big family of ISD. Welcome all returning and new faculties who dedicate in their quotidian works. Sincerely, I wish you a great year here as a brand new chapter of your life is now being turned to.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who were here last semester. Thank you for your support to student council, to care foundation, and to all other student organizations and activities. As the past president of student council, I deeply understood the difficulty of event organization.
I would like to acknowledge that without your efforts, we couldn’t have reached this far. This year Kim and I would abdicate, so would many other previous members of student council. But sincerely, I wish that whoever takes over the charge can perform the best out of his or her ability to maintain its prominence.
Also, I would like to mention that student council is now recruiting its new members. Student council has been responsible for organizing student activities throughout the year, including but not limited to Halloween, Christmas, sports day, etc. It is a great opportunity to enhance your leadership and organization skills, as well as meeting different and excellent people. And welcome new faces to join us this year.
I would like to say that for all new-coming students, don’t panic at the first few weeks here. Students might be much more receptive and teachers might be much more friendly and helpful than you possibly believe. Ask for help whenever you feel like you need it. Don’t be shy to talk. And don’t be ashamed if at the beginning you aren’t able to enunciate immaculately.
I would like to suggest to those who have just started their freshman year in Southlands, that the first year in high school is probably the least burdensome year in terms of academics, that it is crucial to not waste time and to prepare for your future as early as possible.
I would like to say that for those who have just entered sophomore and junior year to start focusing more and more on your academics, to have a rigorous agenda for APs, and to prepare for standardized tests as soon as possible.
In the end, I wish all the best to seniors, to my classmates, in terms of their college applications. Now is the time for painstaking efforts and perspiration. But months later, rewards will silently come. No matter where you are planning to go after graduation, the best is yet to come and cherish the moment to strive for a brighter future.
I wish all the best to SACE 2019 to have the best performance on their college entrance examinations and to get in their dream universities. You are always the role models at school.
I was as nervous and anxious as you might have been in this first week of this brand new school year when I first came to Southlands in 2017. I was afraid of not being able to understand my lessons and connect to my classmates. I was afraid of answering questions in class, nor was I courageous enough to speak in public. But I tried to improve. As time went on, I was no longer the timorous one who didn’t dare to talk, and I believe that time will one day in the future approbate your efforts today and reward you with what you deserve.
Thank you!
Good morning to the honourable faculty and my dear fellow students. My name is Tony and I am a recent graduate of No. 5 Middle School. As the new student representative, It is my honour to speak on behalf of the new class of 2024 at the Qingdao Weiming School ISD. First of all, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the teaching faculty. It is also with great pleasure that I meet my classmates today.
We are all gathered here for the beginning of a new semester, ready to set sail towards a brand new adventure. Our hectic yet fulfilling life in middle school has come to an end, leaving us with hopes and dreams as we embark on a new journey on this campus. Here at Weiming, we are blessed with the best administration and leadership team, the most dedicated teaching staff, driven and talented students, a gorgeous and inviting campus, and rich and exciting club activities. We are proud to be joining this big family and thrilled for what is yet to come.
Many of us have felt confused or doubted ourselves in the past. It is only normal. Today, however, we find ourselves at the starting line once more. This is our opportunity to re-orient our goals and plan out our futures. This is our opportunity to give it all we've got to pursue our dreams and leave no regrets behind.
Every moment is precious to those who know the value of time. Summer break was the perfect opportunity for us to improve ourselves. In the past two months, I was fortunate to have attempted scientific experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as join a summer camp on constructing underwater robots. It was immensely enjoyable and helped me expand my knowledge on the subjects I have always been interested in. In the coming semester, I look forward to learning more from my teachers, having new experiences, and working harder to push my own limits.
As Plato once said, "We should not exercise the body without the joint assistance of the mind; nor exercise the mind without the joint assistance of the body." I believe that a healthy constitution is the basis for a sound mind. To train my body, I chose to learn free boxing this summer. I would like to call on my fellow students to engage in physical activities after the wisdom of Plato, to build a healthy body and mind in perfect balance and harmony.
The new semester marks a new beginning. It means seeking new knowledge, meeting new friends, and discovering new sides of ourselves. Today, we stand prepared. I believe that with guidance from our teachers and our own relentless efforts, we can all grow to reach our full potentials. We should hold fast to our values and ideals, be respectful, knowledgeable, and stand by our commitments to our society, our school, and family.
"Things change quickly, victory belongs to those who keep striving; earth extends broad, acquirement belongs to those who keeping tolerant."The new semester has come. Let us all meet new challenges with full spirit, climb the peak of wisdom with strong will, and open the door to success with the key of knowledge! Today, we are proud to be a part of Weiming. Tomorrow, Weiming will be proud of us.
Thank you!
