        Release Time:2023-08-04 16:20

Four years ago, luckily we met in a sea of people; Time flies, and now we are about to part and run our separate ways.With joy and reluctance, our high school life is about to come to an end.

Now, you are about to hold an offer to one of the world's top schools, to embark on a more exciting life.
But please remember, no matter where you are, Pegasus will always be your harbor.
May you meet with each other at the highest point of your life.


Steven Ma, a member of the Board of Directors Selection Committee of the University of California, former Director of the International Cooperation Division of the California Department of Education, and founder of Qingdao Pegasus School, delivered a speech:


Welcome everyone to this special ceremony, the fifth graduation ceremony of Pegasus School. As the founder of the school, I feel immensely honored and excited. Every time, I deeply feel the temperature of our school and feel the joy of their growth together with our students.

Dear students, you are one of the few talents in this era. You can have a deep understanding of Chinese and American culture and have the ability to cross the cultural divide. In this school that teaches all English, Pegasus not only cultivates your language skills, but more importantly, it cultivates your communication skills. We have the responsibility and confidence to allow you to play an important role in Sino US exchanges, using your understanding and communication to resolve conflicts and contradictions.

I hope our students can contribute to the harmonious development of China US relations through practical actions, and use your wisdom and strength to build bridges and promote understanding.
 

As you step out of school and into the wider world, I hope you will remember that no matter where you go, no matter what path you choose, you will always be our pride, the symbol and hope of Pegasus. You will carry our ideas, hopes and expectations to the wider world.

Steven Szatynski, Academic Principal of Qingdao Pegasus School, gave a speech:

Graduates of 2023, today is an important milestone in your life. Although the upcoming new journey may be full of challenges, please remember that success is not only measured by achievements, but by being able to stand up every time you fall and persevere in adversity.

Believe in yourself, believe in your abilities, and never forget your goals. Please remember that you possess all the necessary qualities to move forward courageously in the unknown. The challenges you are about to face will always be stepping stones to promote your own growth and self realization.

While pursuing your dreams, you also need to pay attention to your influence on the world around you. As graduates of Pegasus, you have the ability to make positive changes, enhance the community, and change the lives of others. No matter how small your actions may seem, never underestimate your influence on the world.


Matthew Briggs, Academic Vice Principal of Qingdao Pegasus School, delivered a speech:

Dear students:
You are about to travel far, and I want to share with you again how to meet the challenges of the future and cultivate a good attitude to face the unknown.

Imagine how you felt when you bungee jumped for the first time, standing on a high platform, trying to keep your balance in the wind. Looking down, you are frightened by the distance and by the foggy buildings below. This is a time when your inner voice is questioning your decisions and emotions can become more tense. That's when you see a sign printed on a nearby window: "Life begins when you step out of your comfort zone."

You are about to pack your bags and embrace a future where anything is possible, but always remember to step out of your comfort zone. Understand that only by daring to challenge yourself will you inspire greater creativity, imagination and perseverance. Believe in your own abilities, and cherish the frustration when you fail. Remember, those unfamiliar and challenging environments will only further promote your growth.

At this moment full of joy and sadness of parting, please allow me to send my best wishes, wave goodbye to you proudly, and pursue your brilliant life!

 

Leo, the graduate representative, gave a speech:
 

As a representative of this incredible class, I am humbled and honored to address you at this momentous time. Today, we celebrate the culmination of our academic journey, and we embrace the opportunities that await us as we chase our bright future.

Our academic success is achieved through the unwavering support of our friends, family and staff. We all stand here today because of the hard work and dedication of those who have helped us on this journey. Let's give thanks to those who make our day what it is. Thank you, our teachers. Thank you, our PLs, and most of all, our supporters.

We've proven that we're capable of great things, and we've discovered our passion and purpose. As we set out to chase our bright future, I urge all of us to take the knowledge, skills and experiences we gain through education and use them to the fullest to create positive change in the world.

I have been honored to study with such outstanding people and I have no doubt that each of you will achieve great things in the future. So let's raise our hats and jump for joy as we embark on a new chapter of our lives and chase our bright future like a flying horse chasing the rising sun.

From now on, we will say goodbye, we will go to different oceans and shores, we will say goodbye to our classmates and friends, we will say goodbye to our parents and teachers, and we will say goodbye to the mountains and rivers of our hometown.

From now on, we will embark on a new journey alone, and every step will be engraved with our persistence and efforts, our goals and original aspirations; may we work together and achieve success in a world where we cannot see each other!
