2020 CLIP 網上畢業慶祝會 Virtual Graduation Celebration - 感謝

米樂49

嗨！大家好！

前幾天我去買奶茶。到了奶茶店時，店家在做清理工作了，門還沒關，但是已經停止賣東西了。正當我轉身要離開時，一個穿著工作服的女孩笑著跟我招手。啊！原來是去年畢業的，現在九年級的一個女生，她在那裏打工。 我們聊了幾句話，她告訴我，她每個星期在那裏兩次，每次四個小時。回家的路上，我想起了她的臉，想起了她做過的海報，想起了她的中文名字、英文名字。好開心！她的一個笑臉，她的幾句話，讓我很開心！

你們要畢業了，要離開了。以後，也許我們會在奶茶店相遇。那時，我一定會很開心，很樂。當然，是因為我們打招呼，談話，面對面微笑。如果你們不理我，不跟我說話，不給我微笑，那我肯定不樂了。

你們不會記得在談美國憲法時，在談林肯的解放奴隸宣言時，我說了什麼。沒關係。有個老師，我很尊敬她，很懷念她，有時候我會給她打電話問她好不好。這個老師七十多歲了，現在她最重要的工作是照顧九十五歲的媽媽。我不記得這個老師教過了我什麼，不過，我記得她曾經告訴我，走路的時候，站的時候，兩隻腳的力量要平均地放在地上；腳經常往外歪，鞋子很容易磨壞，而且對骨骼和肌肉會有損壞。

你們會記得我嗎？會記得我們一起做的事情嗎？開班會、喝中國茶、踢毽子、欣賞的小組音樂影片 －那三個超級女英雄，那些戴面具的醜八怪，還有戴假髮的漢文....你們會記得嗎？ 其實，我只要求你們記得一件事情。請你們記得：我感謝你們！你們是特別好的一群學生。你們很努力，美國歷史工作再難你們都努力地做；中國的24節氣再無聊，你們都努力得學。你們很懂事，只要稍微提醒一下，你們就知道我不高興了，就會安靜下來，開始工作。

你們的八年級結束了， 我的三分鐘時間也到了，該做總結了。我的總結是： “我感謝。我感謝有機會當你們的老師！

Hello everyone!

I went to buy milk tea the other day. When I arrived, the store was being cleaned up and had stopped selling things. Just as I turned to leave, a girl in work clothes smiled and waved at me. It turned out she graduated last year, and is now a ninth grader who works there. We chatted a little bit, and she told me that she works there twice a week for four hours each time. On the way home, I recalled her face, the posters she had made, her Chinese name and English name. I was so delighted! A smile on her face and a few words from her made me very happy!

You are about to graduate and you are leaving. In the future, maybe we will meet at a milk tea shop. At that time, I will be very delighted. Of course, it is because we wave, talk, and smile at each other. If you ignore me, don’t talk to me, don’t smile at me, then I’m definitely not happy.

You will not remember what I said when talking about the American Constitution and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. That’s ok. There is a teacher I once had. I respect her and miss her a lot. Sometimes I call her to find out how she is doing. This teacher is in her 70s, and now her most important job is to take care of her 95-year-old mother. I don’t remember what the teacher taught me, but I remember that she once told me: When walking and standing, the body weight should be distributed in the feet evenly. When the feet roll outward, shoes can be worn out easily, and damage to the spine and muscles can happen.

Will you remember me? Will you remember what we did together? Class meetings, the Chinese tea party, shuttlecocks, group music videos—those three super heroines, those ugly guys with masks, and Hanwen in wigs... Will you remember all these moments? Actually, I only ask you to remember one thing. Please remember: I’m grateful for all of you! You are a particularly good group of students. You work hard. No matter how difficult the American history tasks were, you worked diligently to complete them; no matter how boring the 24 solar terms were, you didn’t cease to study. You are very understanding of my mood changes. It only took a quick reminder from me for you to quiet down and start working. I appreciate your understanding a lot.

The eighth grade is over and my three-minute time is up. it's time to conclude. What I want to say once again is: "I am grateful. I am grateful for the opportunity to be your teacher!"
