i am honored to address you tonight. on behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of washington university's school of engineering and applied science, i would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. i would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. i would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. and finally i would like to thank the washington university faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.

as i think back on the seven-and-a-half years i spent at washington university, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.

tonight i would like to share with you some of the memories that i take with me as i leave washington university.

i take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of lopata hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. the window was my office's best feature. were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. but instead i got a view of the roof of the physics building. i also had a view of one corner of the roof of urbauer hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. and i had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. it's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer i worked on my dissertation. but my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. from my fourth-floor vantage point i had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.

i take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while i was a graduate student. anne johnstone, the only female professor from whom i took a course in the engineering school, and bob durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. i remember them fondly.

i take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses i took as an undergraduate. i remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that i would never be able to pass it. so i went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. and he told me not to give up, he told me i could succeed in his class. for reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. and after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and i ended the semester with an a on the final exam. i remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.

i take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when i arrived in st. louis 8 years ago. since moving to new jersey, i am sad to say, nobody has asked me where i went to high school.

i take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. the idea was that groups of cs grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. but after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire cs grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.

i take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the association of graduate engineering students, known as ages. started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, ages soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.

i take with me the memory of an engineering and policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.

i take with me memories of the 1992 u.s. presidential debate. eager to get involved in all the excitement i volunteered to help wherever needed. i remember spending several days in the makeshift debate hq giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. i remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. and i remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after i left.

老师们，同学们：

大家上午好!

大家早上好!现在是金色的九月，阳光明媚，秋风送爽。在这个收获的季节里，我们又迎来了一个新学年的开学典礼。新的学期，我们有了新了校园，新的老师，还有新的同学，从此，我们就是一家人，一家亲了!在这里我代表全体师生对新老师，新同学的到来表示热烈欢迎!同时，也向全体师生表达我最美好的祝愿:祝愿大家身体健康、工作顺利、学习进步、学业有成!

秋天本是收获的季节，但对于我们来说是播洒希望、点燃激情的季节，一年中有哪些要实现的愿望?要达到怎样的目标?要如何去实现?是我们每一位师生现在必须明确的问题。

教书先育人，是我对老师们的期望，也是我对老师们的要求。知识、分数固然重要，然影响一个人的成长，让孩子们终生受益除了必要的知识外，健康、乐观的`心态，良好的生活习惯和文明素养也有着举足轻重的作用。希望老师们要身体力行，用自己的健康的心态和良好习惯去影响、教育学生，用行为规范、制度约束、日常管理、榜样引领去引导、感化学生，用对孩子真挚的爱，充分的理解与尊重，让每一个孩子在我们悉心呵护下，如暖春的映山红，骄艳、美丽，茁壮成长。

学知先从做人学起，是我对同学们的期望，也是我对同学们的要求。认真、勤奋、上进、乐观、谦虚是我们做人应具备的良好品质，也是我们学好知识本领的前提。一个没有乐观、健康心态，消极厌世的人，就会对任何事物没兴趣，对学校、老师，甚至对自己都没信心;一个不能谦虚、勤奋的人，只能是一个只有满腹理想与抱负，而缺乏脚踏实地实干精神的人;一个没有上进心的人，就只能原地踏步，最终只能如逆水行舟，不进只退。

因此，希望同学们：

1、要有一颗积极乐观的心态，要相信老师，相信自己，有付出就有收获，付出的努力越多，离成功的距离越近。

2、要脚踏实地，真学苦练。对老师布置的作业要按质按量完成，对老师课堂提出的问题要进行认真细致的思考，对学习遇到的困难要迎难而上，尽自己所能努力克服。

3、要立争完美，追求上进。学如逆水行舟，不进则退。这是大家浅俗易懂的道理。不比能力，比努力，不比以前，比眼前，把每个问题弄通弄透，把每个知识学深学精，绝不放过，认真对待，立争完美。宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来。每一个孩子就像一朵玫瑰花蕾，有不同的花期，最后开的花与最早开的花一样美丽。愿每一位同学都如向阳之花，热情、奔放，永远。

新的学期，新的开始，带来新的机会，新的挑战，也孕育着新的希望与憧憬。我相信我们每一位老师和同学们都能以自己的勤奋与智慧书写新学年学习与工作满意的答卷。老师、同学们，让我们从现在开始，以零为起点，认真学习，踏实地走好每一步，以崭新的面貌迎接新的开始、新的挑战。

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!

today isquo;d like to share my personal experience of happiness and bitterness of being an english teacher.

i remember, five years ago, when i stood at the teachersquo;s desk for the first time, maybe because i was too young, maybe because i was too inexperienced, the students in my class paid no attention to me, didnsquo;t behave themselves at all. i felt ashamed and helpless. in order to save my face, i just criticized the students seriously whenever they talked in class or even moved a little. i thought sooner or later, they would listen to me. yes, i could control the class now, but the students and the atmosphere became strange. no, they were not listening to me. it was too quiet. the breathless silence urged me to consider the way i was teaching.

then 1 august , i got the chance to study the new course of english. until then could i realized that it was my frozen eyes that make the students flinch, it was my stiff face that trod out the enthusiasm in the childrensquo;s hearts. how to stimulate my class and show my warmth, so that they can enjoy their study in english? i had a deep thought.

itsquo;s smile. there is a kindness called smile. it is the most beautiful language in the world. it can make distance no distance. just awake the students with a smiling face!i said to myself.

the next day, when i stood on the stage with a smiling face, when i asked the questions with a smile, when i encouraged the children in a friendly way, the students were just shocked! but i could find there was more happiness and excitement in their eyes! gradually, they got used to it, and participated in my teaching. as i predicted, that class became a lovely one. i was moved, and saidthank you for listening, boys and girls!

in the following days, i keep on working even harder. i prepare my lessons carefully. i use flash, pictures, riddles, and interesting stories to make great efforts to help the students to learn more. but i will never forget one thing: smile, give them a smile, to give them strength, to let them feel happy, to make them confident. the children do enjoy the english lesson now, when they tell me the answers in great excitement, i can feel their gladness, and my smile is more sincerely than ever!

there is kindness called smile. from the childrensquo;s yearning eyes, i understand, it is smile that makes my students and i get closer, it is smile that fills the kindness to my english class, it is smile that shapes me popular english teacher finally.

thatsquo;s all. thank you very much!
