许竞予
各位老师,家长,同学们,大家下午好。我是十二年级毕业生许竞予,很荣幸今天站在这里作为毕业生代表发言。时间真的过的很快,刚刚结束IB生涯的我们即将进入人生的下一个阶段。在这里,我要特别感谢学校。感谢协和,林校长,Mr Edward共同建设,给我们提供了这样一个平台,让每个人都有机会发展自己的兴趣,去往世界各国的大学。两年的IB课程虽然学得掉了不少头发,但也使我们变得更全面,在这个充满竞争力的社会中更具优势。在这期间,感谢IB主管Ms Basu对我们学业上的帮助,感谢UGC的Rachel老师,Sarah老师和Kimi老师,在申请大学期间指导我们完成一系列繁琐的操作,包括选校,简历,文书,面试,各种资料的递交等等,感谢你们的付出让我们离自己的梦校更近一步。
至2014年起,这已经是我,也是大部分我的同学,在协和的第七年了,说实话我不大记得大家六年级时的样子,但许多珍贵的经历都还是记忆犹新的。当时刚进这个学校时,我是比较担忧和怀疑的,后来能够快速的融入,并且度过这几年快乐的时光,我很想感谢身边的老师和同学。首先是我们连续好几年的年级主任summer老师,虽然没有给我们上过课,但每次大家一有任何问题都找她,无论是在学业上,还是生活上,summer老师都对我们关爱有加。在紧张的考试期间给我们鼓励,更是在考完后给我们争取各种各样的活动,比如上次的常州恐龙园一行真的是最难忘的回忆之一了。同时,我们的班主任Mr.Boniface在12年级,学业最繁重的一年里,也给予了我们很大的帮助。在早晨的20分钟里,他竟然能无时无刻盯着我们在不在学习,当然,他也和我们一起学习,学习中文。上过他数学课的同学们更是打开新世界的大门,原来数学中的“休息一下”是指做更多的题。说到数学,那我一定要讲一讲教了我近5年的Mr.Raj了。他是一个做事很严谨很认真的老师,但是也很幽默。每次我们上课很困,他都会开始跳舞,有时还会放很high的音乐。我很感谢他的教学给我的数学打下良好的基础,更是在数学IA方面给我了许多引导。众多周知IA,EE这些论文都是IB课程里非常重要的一部分,也是被迫你我熬夜的源头。对此,我特别感谢我的地理老师,也是EE老师,Ms Maina, 她教了我许多论文的写作技巧,让我对未来大学面临的大量论文写作等更具信心。同时,她从IGCSE到IB教我地理,让我对这门学科有了更多的认知和兴趣,我们地理班只有连老师五个人,课堂更多以讨论为主,虽然这使得我们进度很慢,差点学不完syllabus,但我很喜欢这样的氛围,Ms Maina是老师,更是朋友。缘分真的很奇妙,我刚进协和六年级的语文是沈芳老师教的,然后换了老师,直到学IB时又回到沈老师的班上。有好几个同学也是这种情况,从六年级的默写,到12年级的IO,不知道沈老师你觉得我们语文有没有啥长进,总之,很感谢你对我们的付出,包括每天课上的PPT和网课期间叫早的视频和铃声。接下来,作为一个美术生,我非常感谢我们的IB美术老师,Ms Yadav,虽然她对我们很严厉,给很多的deadline,美术生每天都做到很晚,第二天还总是不敢进美术教室,但是感谢她每天的催促才能使我们完成IB美术一堆繁琐的任务。纯艺术是我的专业,对此Ms Yadav也给我了很多指导和意见。另外,感谢Rebecca老师作为我们tok老师在指导论文的同时给我们带绿豆饼吃。我个人而言,从prefect到学生领袖,组织的一切活动都少不了rebecca老师的帮助和支持。
回忆这些年的协和生活,我觉得非常充实,感谢我的父母支持我想做的事,把我送到协和,认识了你们。感谢我身边的朋友和同学的陪伴,陪我走过这一段难忘的时光,接下来大家即将各奔东西进入大学生活,祝你们每个人前程似锦,也祝学弟学妹们未来考上心仪的大学。最后,再次感谢学校,我很幸运能在这里度过七年的时光,也祝未来学校越来越好,谢谢。

Good afternoon,
Welcome friends, family, and teachers that helped me get to where I am today. It is an honor to be standing here on such a memorable occasion.
A year ago, I remember I was standing here, hosting a 2020 graduation. And now it’s already time to leave. Last year, we had the ceremony online and I was speaking to a camera. I am so glad that this year we can celebrate our graduation together at this grand theatre.
We worked hard to get to this point, but we didn’t do it by ourselves. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the following people.
To our teachers, thank you for so unselfishly sharing your time, talent, and knowledge with us. Yes, we all know that you gave us a lot of assignments, IA deadlines, and mock exams. But we also know that you did it for us, for our learning, and for our future. Your guidance was invaluable, and we will never forget that.
To our parents, thank you for supporting us in more ways than it’s possible to count. You dragged us out of bed each morning, made sure we were fed and clothed for school. You listened to our complaints and always believed in us no matter what we do. These are just a few of the thousands of ways you have supported us on our journey.
To our coaches, thank you for making school about more than just classwork. Football was such a big part of my school life. Although there are still 500 push-ups left for me, I will hand it over to our young players.
To our university guidance counselors, thank you for listening and trying to keep us on the right track for graduation. Without your help, some of us might not be graduating today.
As you can see, behind each graduate, there must have been at least a dozen of people providing support in at least a dozen ways. I think the best way we graduate can show our gratitude is to make the most of the opportunity we have been given, and go forward into the world, trying to make it a better place. We’ll pay that debt of gratitude forward.
Thank you.
