典礼尚未正式开始，校园里已回荡起轻快的歌声与灵动的乐器演奏。同学们精心准备的暖场节目轮番登场，或活泼明快，或婉转悠扬，不仅展现出多元的才艺，更以饱满的热情点燃了全场气氛。阵阵掌声中，新学期开学典礼拉开了精彩的序幕。

在热烈的掌声中，不同身份的代表依次登台，围绕“自我成长”这一主题，从各自的视角分享感悟与期许。

“找到自己”是终身竞赛

于老师William以“找到自己”为核心，从“我是谁”“与他人相处”和“立足生命长河”三个维度展开论述。他指出，“找到自己是一场终身竞赛”，而手机等科技产品，恰似自我探索路上的“隐藏Boss”，时刻考验着同学们的专注力与自我认知力。最后，他以“同行者”的身份呼吁：“让我们携手，在新学期继续这场关于‘自我’的探索之旅。”

从内耗到突破，勇气引航成长

陆同学Ethan分享了自己暑假“充实与挑战并存”的经历。他坦言曾陷入拖延与内耗，但最终凭借专注与坚持实现突破。这段心路历程让他领悟到成长的真谛，他鼓励同学们：“无论过去如何，新学期请带着向前的勇气，坚定迈步。”

以“准成人”姿态，为热爱拼搏

吴同学Dylan以“几乎是大人”定位自己的身份。他讲述了因一次偶然机会与学校结缘的故事，也曾因要住校而心怀顾虑，但丰富多彩的校园活动、师生间的温暖关怀，迅速打消了他的不安。他感慨道：“在这里，我感受到了成长的力量。新学期，让我们以成人、战士的姿态，并肩为自己，也为那些爱我们的人奋斗。”

冲刺时刻，目标与健康并行

吴同学Orlando指出，12年级是高中冲刺的关键期。回顾前两年的成长，她深刻体会到，这一阶段既需要明确的目标感，更要有强大的执行力。同时，她也温馨提醒：“冲刺之余，别忘兼顾身心健康，这是持续奋进的基石。”最后，她向所有给予支持的人致谢，并祝愿12年级的同学都能收获心仪大学的offer。

典礼中，学校对各方面表现优异的同学与集体进行了表彰。GPA达3.5及以上的同学、各年级班级平均分第一名的班级、GPA排名前三的同学、学术竞赛中表现突出者，以及“进步之星”“全A生”“闻慧奖学金获得者”等，依次登台领奖。优秀社团和“最具潜力班级”“最具竞争力班级”“最强班级”等集体也获得荣誉。这不仅是对过往努力的肯定，更是对新学期“再创辉煌”的激励。

找到自己，找到人生意义

陈校长Bowen的致辞围绕“找到自己，找到人生意义”展开。面对信息爆炸与AI时代，他抛出核心疑问：“我们如何在纷繁中锚定自我？”他从“在实践中看见独特自我”和“将个人热爱融入社会价值”两方面给出解答，强调“找到”并非一蹴而就，而是允许试错的漫长旅程。他呼吁同学们：“拥抱广阔世界，深耕文化根脉，在追寻自我的同时，探寻生命的意义。”

Pre-show Performances Ignite the Atmosphere

Before the ceremony officially began, the campus was already alive with cheerful singing and lively instrumental performances. Students took turns presenting carefully prepared warm-up acts—some lively and bright, others melodious and graceful—showcasing not only their diverse talents but also igniting the atmosphere with full enthusiasm. Amid rounds of applause, the opening ceremony kicked off a wonderful start to the new semester.

Multiple Perspectives on "Self-Growth"

Amid warm applause, representatives of different roles took the stage one after another, sharing their insights and expectations on the theme of "self-growth" from their unique perspectives.

Teacher Representative William Yu: "Finding Oneself" Is a Lifelong Competition

Mr. William Yu centered his speech on "finding oneself," elaborating from three dimensions: "Who am I?", "Getting along with others," and "Establishing oneself in the long river of life." He pointed out that "finding oneself is a lifelong competition," and technological devices like smartphones are like "hidden bosses" on the journey of self-exploration, constantly testing students' focus and self-awareness. Finally, as a "fellow traveler," he called on everyone: "Let us join hands and continue this journey of self-exploration in the new semester."

11th-Grade Student Representative Ethan Lu: From Internal Struggle to Breakthrough, Courage Guides Growth

Ethan Lu shared his summer experience, which was "both fulfilling and challenging." He admitted to having struggled with procrastination and internal conflict but ultimately achieved a breakthrough through focus and perseverance. This journey of self-discovery helped him understand the true meaning of growth. He encouraged his peers: "No matter what the past held, let’s move forward with courage and determination in the new semester."

Freshman Camp Leader Dylan Wu: Strive for Passion with a "Quasi-Adult" Mindset

Dylan Wu defined his identity as "almost an adult." He shared how a chance encounter led him to the school and admitted to having reservations about boarding. However, the diverse campus activities and the warm care from teachers and classmates quickly alleviated his concerns. He reflected, "Here, I have felt the power of growth. In the new semester, let us fight side by side as adults and warriors, for ourselves and for those who love us."

12th-Grade Student Representative Orlando Wu: Balancing Goals and Health During the Sprint

Orlando Wu emphasized that 12th grade is a critical sprint period in high school. Reflecting on her growth over the past two years, she deeply realized that this stage requires not only a clear sense of purpose but also strong execution. At the same time, she reminded everyone warmly: "While sprinting, do not forget to balance physical and mental health, as it is the foundation for sustained efforts." Finally, she expressed gratitude to all who had supported her and wished her fellow 12th-grade students success in receiving offers from their dream universities.

Recognizing Excellence, Inspiring Progress

During the ceremony, the school recognized outstanding students and groups in various areas. Students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher, classes with the highest average scores in each grade, top three GPA achievers, academic competition winners, as well as "Most Improved Students," "Straight-A Students," and "Wenhui Scholarship recipients" took the stage to receive their awards. Outstanding clubs and groups such as "Most Promising Class," "Most Competitive Class," and "Strongest Class" were also honored. This recognition not only affirmed past efforts but also served as motivation to "achieve even greater glory" in the new semester.

Principal's Message: Find Yourself, Find the Meaning of Life

Principal Bowen's speech centered on "finding oneself and finding the meaning of life." Facing the era of information explosion and AI, he posed a core question: "How do we anchor ourselves amidst the chaos?" He provided answers from two aspects: "Seeing our unique selves in practice" and "Integrating personal passion into social value," emphasizing that "finding" is not an overnight achievement but a long journey that allows for trial and error. He urged students: "Embrace the vast world, deepen your cultural roots, and while pursuing self-discovery, explore the meaning of life."
