寄语·老师说
Ivan Moore(外方校长)
All of you have made us proud and we are grateful for the faith you have shown in our school. Ultimately, it is the hard work that results in high grades. But for those that don’t hit the grade they were hoping for - what should you do? Learn from the experience and know that many of the most successful people experience failure, but they have grit, a determination to succeed.
你们每一位都令我们感到骄傲。是你们的辛勤付出换来了佳绩。然而对于尚未实现期望的同学来说,你们应该从此次经历中得到成长,你需要知道,很多成功者务必经历挫折失败,重要的是,他们具备勇气与毅力,以及追逐成功的决心。
You are still at the start of your life journey. It is exciting. As we close one chapter, another opens. I congratulate you again. The IB DP is not an easy course and you have conquered this mountain. You are now prepared for the next mountain that you will climb. Enjoy it and know that the view from the top of the mountain is spectacular and worth the effort.
你们仍处在人生旅途的开始,这叫人兴奋。我们翻过一个篇章,开始下一个新的篇章。再次祝贺你们,IBDP课程并不容易,而你们已经翻过了这座高山。从现在起,你们将为逾越人生中的下一座山峰而做准备。好好感受奋斗的过程吧,山顶风景独好,值得你们为此努力攀登。
Maggie Ye (校长助理)
I am proud of Year 12 students for the contribution that they have made to the school as role models for the DP program. Their development over the past three years, evident in the showcases that they presented as well as the creativity, action and service to the school, has extended our younger student experiences.
We will truly miss Year 12 students. Wherever you go and whatever you do, do remember you are IB students to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners. Life is a journey with a collection of different experiences. Keep IB learner profiles in your heart to acquire some different experiences, to develop the different perspectives, to be able to look at things from the different lens. That’s invaluable.
我们会想念你们,无论你们去哪里,做什么,都要记住:你们是IB学子,你们是积极主动、富有激情的终生学习者。人的一生会迎来各种不同经历,去收获不同的观念,不同的视角,这些都非常宝贵。
Deepali Prashantham(经济学老师兼班主任)
If there is one thing that I would want you to remember from having studied Economics, it is the importance of education – not just for your own development but also for the development of society. Learning is a lifelong process; and life is most meaningful when you share your time, talents and gifts with those that don’t have what you have been gifted with.
I hope that your University education will extend your path into being a force for positive change in the world. I hope that someday your experiences will transform your ambitions into those that include giving life to others. I hope that someday a needy part of our world will be a better place because of what you have accomplished.
Maggie Jia(化学老师兼班主任)
Over the coming years you may forget some science facts or calculus formulas you learned here. What you cannot forget is that when individuals work together, the whole group is raised up and the impossible become the possible, and achieving it becomes your destiny.
There is some people never say “I love you” to others, that doesn’t mean they never love anyone. All of you are in my heart, in my brain, I will remember you forever.
Meredith Hooper(课程顾问)
I am so proud of all of you this year. You have truly worked hard and have grown greatly as students and as people. People often struggle with one or both of these aspects on a daily basis. I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming years of your life. Be sure to take a piece of your time here at MEA International with you wherever you go and be the best that you can be.
Tony Zhu(汉语老师)
展现在你们面前的是人生中非常精彩的大学生活。在此期间,你们不再只是单纯地探求知识,你们还应该积极参加各种活动和社团,找到志同道合的朋友,聆听社会跳动的脉搏,逐渐开始规划自己注定不平凡的一生。
DP三年,彼此都经历了风风雨雨,见证了各自的成长。在你们即将踏上新的旅程的时候,希望大家能回头望望自己走过的路:知识论,与其说是一门课程,不如说是一个人的基本素质培养,它不但教会我们主动探求真理的态度,养成批判性思考、反思的好习惯,而且给大家将来的求学之路构建起了完整的知识框架,希望大家能将课堂上所学到的灵活运用到将来的学习、生活中去。
在即将奔赴世界各地的时候,请心里谨记,我是中国人,我要挑起传播自己国家文化的重担,因为只有深知自己国家的独特文化,才能被他人所尊重,才能更好地进行交流,才能成为一位合格的世界公民!
天下没有不散的筵席,不过,我期待着你们学有所成,重回母校的那一刻!
Stephan Stewart(英语老师)
The time has finally come to say “farewell”. Although you may think this graduation signifies the end, in reality, it is really the beginning of your adult life - one full of opportunity and promise. When setting out on your own path of discovery, please remember: your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's dream.
In know it sounds simple, but it takes a lot of courage to drown out others’ opinions and follow your inner voice. If you can, however, you will have stayed true to yourself, followed your own passion, and made your own path. That, in a nutshell, is what life is all about.
Bonnie Ma(汉语老师)
感谢IB,让我们在此相遇,因为一个人不仅是他自己,而是他所有遇到的人的混合体,不同的价值观念和世界观会重新把我们整合重塑,而越了解自己,则世界为我们敞开的可能性越大,走向各种人生道路的可能性也越大。大门已然敞开,而你们,正在走进去……在过去的一年里,感谢有你们,你们的努力让我为你们骄傲。我希望高中毕业是你们各自人生的逗号,你们相约启程,去追求你们的梦想和生命的活力,去创造属于自己的生活。
世界这么大,你们先去看看吧!
Joel Seow(艺术老师)
I really hope that the IB education has made you becoming an all rounded person. Academic results are not the gist of an education. Making a sensible and responsible decision, showing principled acts, contributing to the society and caring your neighbors are the eventual outcomes of an education.
I will miss you indeed. Take good care of yourselves wherever you are and enjoy whatever you are doing. I wish you the best in all your endeavors.
Steven Duncan Murray(物理老师)
Over the last three years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work, play, dream and create with you. I have watched you grow as artists but also much more satisfyingly, I have witnessed your growth as people, each of you developing into strong, resourceful, compassionate and sophisticated human beings. And for that, as well as your graduation, you have my heartfelt congratulations. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with me, it’s been quite something.
