Graduation Season – My Story with the New Century

On March 27, 2024, the third grade held an English speech contest with the theme of "Graduation Season - My Story with the New Century", and the students shared their good memories with the new century. They still remember the self-introduction when they first met each other, the experience of unity and sweat in the first year of military training, the radiant and confident appearance in the English drama, and the innocence in the spring outing......
The new century not only left them with cherished memories, but also accompanied them through a precious journey of growth. They used to be shy primary school students, but now they have become confident, energetic, full of positive energy, and can independently cope with difficulties and challenges in study and life, and gradually become young people with strong hearts.
Their growth along the way is inseparable from the support of important people around them. In their speeches, they said that when they encounter setbacks, their parents silently encourage them behind their backs, when they encounter learning difficulties, they are the teachers who give them patient help, and when they encounter troubles, they are accompanied by their classmates. In their speeches, they all expressed their deep gratitude to their parents, teachers, and classmates.
In addition to memories, they are also looking forward to high school life full of unknowns and are ready to take on challenges. At the same time, they also wish all junior high school students to be able to move towards a bright and wonderful future through their own efforts.
