毕业典礼演讲稿英文（精选3篇）
亲爱的老师们：
大家好！
我来自x班。今天，我们激动地迎来了一个庄严的毕业典礼！在这个美好而难忘的时刻，我们不禁感到激动，深思。
春夏秋冬花开，我们和亲爱的母校xx小学并肩走了六年。我还清楚地记得，刚进校门的时候，我只是一个幼稚好奇的顽童。现在，当我即将踏出校门，向母校挥手告别的时候，我已经是一个朝气蓬勃的少年了！很难忘记，在课堂上，老师制作的精美课件让我们快乐地学习；很难忘记你在运动会上追着我，留下同学们的笑声；很难忘记，学校里的树和植物，美丽的合欢树，给我们留下了深刻的记忆。
六年的辛苦和仓促；六年的路，平淡而艰辛；六年的学习忙碌而快乐。在这里，我们成长了身体和智慧。在课堂上，我们了解中国文化的深度，探索数学的乐趣，发现26个英文字母的奇妙组合。
同学们，我们这六年在x小学的成长依然历历在目：全校师生一起为了x小学的校庆而努力忙碌；校运动会上，同学们奋力拼搏，欢呼雀跃，为班级争光；每周一丰富多彩的阳光活动，操场上挤满了活跃的学生；最后一次春游，欢乐谷之旅，让我们刻骨铭心。六年一晃就过去了，我们即将离开母校，但我的心里却充满了对母校的深情告别！
最后祝x小学未来越来越光明！祝x小学老师工作顺利，事业有成！祝x小学的同学们学习顺利，成长旅途愉快！相信在不久的将来，我们一定会以优异的成绩回报母校！
谢谢大家！
i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.
today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.
the first story is about connecting the dots.
i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?
it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.
and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.
none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
my second story is about love and loss.
i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?
well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
i really didn't know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.
i didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.
pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.
i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.
sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.
尊敬的领导、老师、亲爱的同学们：
大家好！
我很荣幸在毕业典礼上发言。今天对我们来说是难忘的一天。三年的初中生涯今天就要结束了。此时此刻，我的心情和在座的各位一样：即使有相聚的喜悦，也有无法掩饰的回忆和留恋。
在今天这个特殊的时刻，请允许我代表所有的初中生，向关心教学、努力培养我们的领导和老师表示衷心的感谢和最崇高的敬意。谢谢你在过去三年里对我们的悉心教导。传道、授业、解惑，你和你的学生都面临困难；开心，难过，奋进，你和你的学生是分不开的。是你深情的凝视给了我们最坚定的信心；是你关怀的目光，让我们从容走进考场。
谢谢你教我们如何做人。也许我们曾经任性过让你难过，也许我们曾经调皮过让你难过，但是请原谅我们，那是我们青春成长的真实故事，也正因为如此，我们永远不会忘记老师们的悉心培养。此时此刻，我谨代表三年级全体同学，对大家说：老师，你们辛苦了！现在是你精心培育花朵时，每一片花瓣散发香味的时候了。我想所有努力的汗水和理想的希望都会变成好消息，如期而至，飞向你的案子。我知道这是对你长期无私奉献的回报
有人说初中的生活是一本太仓促的书。没错，三年的时间里，一千多页的悲欢离合匆匆翻过，却给我们留下了那么多鲜活的细节，那么多精彩的片段。我们用勤奋和智慧创造了一次又一次的辉煌，编织了一个温暖而绚丽的初中生活。上课的时候，有我们专注的目光；在运动场上，有我们挥汗如雨的淡然豪迈姿态；在节日的舞台上，我们有清晰的歌声和轻快的舞步。在逝去的日子里，我们默默传递着爱与友情，凝聚成一堂充满爱与高昂斗志的课。回顾这三年，我们从不成熟到成熟，从无知到理智，从浅薄到充实。
同学们，后天，大家就要进入中考考场迎接人生第一个重要挑战了。在此，衷心希望每一位同学都能静下心来，积极应战，发挥到正常水平，取得理想的成绩。同时也希望同学们以平常心对待中考。虽然中考很重要，它可以影响和改变我们的人生轨迹，但它不能决定我们的命运，因为心若有，梦若有，青春无衰！同学们，初中三年很短，人生的路还很长。但是，我衷心祈祷，初中三年点燃了未来人生道路上的璀璨之光，照亮了每一个人，坚定地前行。同时，也衷心希望师生恋和我们初中三年结下的友谊，能够天长地久。祝我们卧龙初中明天更加辉煌
最后祝母校前程似锦，老师永远年轻，同学永远光明灿烂。
谢谢大家！
