“即使没有做到尽善尽美，你也值得被爱。” 这段毕业典礼上的发言令人动容

“努力工作、野心勃勃没有错。但我想跟她说的是，即使没有做到尽善尽美，你也值得被爱。”

There's nothing wrong with working hard and being ambitious. But I wish I could have told her, that you're lovable and worthy of respect even without doing all that.

李思嘉在SIS2024届高三毕业典礼上发言

近日，在深圳市蛇口外籍人员子女学校 （简称，SIS）2024届高三毕业典礼上，校友李思嘉（Aria Li）的这段演讲引起了广泛共鸣。这是她对曾经18岁的自己说的话，也是给即将步入大学的学弟学妹的美好寄语。

Recently, a speech delivered by alumna Aria Li during the graduation ceremony of the Class of 2024 at Shekou International School (SIS) in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, resonated with many. Her speech not only reflected her own experience at age 18 but also sent a heartfelt message to those about to enter university.

李思嘉毕业于南加州大学电影艺术学院。在演讲中，她还分享了三个建议：做自己感兴趣的事情并以此发现新旅程；人们对你有期望是正常的，但要多利用时间去探索自己的人生；在人生的新阶段，珍视家人给予的爱与关怀。

Li, a graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, shared three pieces of advice during her speech at the graduation ceremony：Do what interests you and discover new journeys along the way; it's normal for people to have expectations of you, so use your time wisely to explore your own life; cherish the love and care given by your family in this new chapter of your life.

对思嘉而言，这些建议不仅源自她对自己人生经历的总结，还蕴藏着从幼年到中学时期母校教育在她身上留下的痕迹。

从幼儿园到高三，思嘉在SIS完成大学以前的全部教育。如今，思嘉已经是一名独立的青年导演与制片人。目前，思嘉还在知名的中国设计公司奥雅设计集团动漫与知识产权部担任总导演兼创意总监。在她看来，做那些让你感兴趣的事情，并以此发现新经历就是探索快乐的最佳方式。而这也正是SIS长期以来所坚持的教育理念。

SIS总校长Harish Kanabar（哈瑞什）表示：“我们向毕业生灌输的价值观之一，就是让他们走向世界，做善事。我们希望他们成为道德领袖，无论是在医学、设计、慈善工作还是非政府组织倡议中，积极为社会作出贡献。”

"One of the values that we instill in our graduates is that they go off into the world and do good. We want them to become ethical leaders who contribute positively to society, whether in medicine, design, charity work, or non-governmental organization initiatives," said Harish Kanabar, head of SIS.

“如果我们不教育我们的孩子成为地球更好的守护者，那么谁来保护这颗星球呢？”哈瑞什解释说，“教育学生保护地球是确保可持续未来的关键。作为全球公民，学生需要了解他们的行为对环境和社会的影响。给学生灌输保护环境的责任感，使他们具有能力作出明智选择、为世界可持续发展作出贡献。”

"If we do not teach our children to be better custodians of this planet, who will take care of it?" asked Kanabar. "Teaching students to be responsible custodians of the planet is essential for ensuring a sustainable future. As global citizens, students need to understand the effect of their actions on the environment and society. By instilling a sense of environmental stewardship, we empower students to make informed choices and contribute to a more sustainable world."

兴趣是最好的老师。在拥有着近30年教学经验的哈瑞什看来，学生应该优先考虑的是个人兴趣从而找到最适合自己的院校，而不是被学校和家长的期待推着走。

As a veteran educator with nearly 30 years of experience, Kanabar believes that priority should be placed on an individual's interests and finding institutions that fit, rather than being pushed by the school or solely considering parental expectations.

他解释说：“学生们通过体育、戏剧和音乐，了解到在严谨的学业与健康、娱乐和社区参与之间取得平衡的重要性，这样全面的教育方法才有助于他们的全面发展。”

"Students learn the importance of balancing academic rigor with wellbeing, fun and community engagement through sports, drama and music. This holistic approach helps them become well-rounded individuals," Kanabar said.
