Commencement Speech
    When it was 0740, 10 minutes to the first class began, there were students who just wake up. When it was 1410, 10 minutes after class has begun, there were students just came back from lunch, students playing basketball at the playground and students heading out of school. And you can hardly see anyone who was in uniform, everyone wore their own clothes.

    7点40分——第一节课上课前10分钟的时候，仍然有学生刚刚睡醒。下午2点10分——开始上课10分钟后的时候，仍然有学生刚吃完午饭归来，有学生还在操场打篮球，更甚者有学生在离开学校的路上。每个同学都穿着自己的衣服，你基本上见不到穿校服的学生。

    Thousands of miles away, when it was 0650, about 150 people were forming outside a building and going to march to the dinning hall for breakfast. They all wore the same uniform with difference on their collar and cap.

    几千公里之外，早上6点50分的时候，有将近150位学生在楼外排好队，一起到饭堂吃早餐。除了衣领和帽子有所不同，他们都穿着相同的制服。

    Before I came to Culver, I studied in Shenzhen Middle School, the best high school in my city.  It located at downtown. It takes only five minutes on foot from my school to the most fashionable place in Shenzhen. We did not wear uniform like other high schools in the country do. We could have as many ornaments as we want and do whatever we want to our hair style. We always skipped classes, and some parents and teachers just didn’t care or even didn’t know. And when we skipped classes, we do not only play basketball in the playground, but we also went outside of the school. And the security guards didn’t care at all. We went to have meals, found a place to play cards, played video games in cybercafé, swam in the gym, or even went shopping. Every Wednesday, my friends and I would go outside at 1230 and came back at 2230. In school, it didn’t matter if you did your homework, your teachers may never know who you are after taught you for several months...

　　来Culver读书之前，我就读于我所在的城市最好的一所中学——深圳中学。它坐落于深圳市区，只需五分钟，学生就能从学校走到全市最潮流的地方。不同于国内的其他中学，我们不需要穿校服，更可以戴首饰、做发型。我们常常逃课，一些家长和老师却不在意，甚至根本不知情。逃课后，我们不光在操场打篮球，更会在保安面前明目张胆地走出校门——他们也不在意，熟视无睹。我们找地方吃东西、打牌，在网吧玩游戏，到体育馆游泳，甚至去逛街。每周三的中午12点半，我都会和我的朋友跑出学校，直到晚上10点半才回校。在学校里面，你做不做作业并没有多大关系，老师在教了你几个月之后，或许他依然不知道你是谁。

　　In year 2007, I decided to study in U.S. My mom’s friend heard this and recommended me this military boarding school—Culver, somewhere in Indiana near Chicago. I prepared for all the application materials and the interview. August, 16th, 2007. I arrived at Culver. The next morning, I was waked up by someone called “Staff Sergeant” at 0630. And they told me that I have to march in the hallway and greet them. I was totally SHOCKED. I don’t get why I have to do all this. I thought this military academy is just a place where we have to wear uniform and a place with military security. Worse than this, I was told to memorize many things such as Code of Conduct, Spirit of Culver, 8 Requirement of P.I., etc. And also I have to make my wardrobe, my bed and shine my black shoes. And the worst thing is that I was told by Unit Commander that I have to do my duty—sweep the stairs from second floor all the way to forth flour twice a day. And that is the place where ¾ of the people in this building will walk by everyday… At the first, I don’t get all this, I thought I could just come here and study and try my best to get into a good college. I thought all these are just waste of time.    

　　2007年，我决定前往美国念书。妈妈的朋友知道以后，向我推荐了Culver这所坐落在印第安纳州靠近芝加哥的军事化寄宿学校。在我对申请资料和面试做了充分的准备之后，2007年8月16日，我如愿进了Culver。第二天早上6点半，我被一个称为“上士”的人叫醒。他们告诉我，我要到门厅去对他们敬礼。我惊呆了，我根本不知道为什么我要这样做。我本以为这所军官学校只是一个需要穿上制服、了解军事安全的地方。更糟糕的是，他们要求我记住行为准则、Culver校训、P.I.的八大要求等等一大堆东西。同时，我必须整理好自己的衣柜和床，并要擦亮皮鞋。最糟糕的是，主管告诉我，我必须值日——每天将二楼到四楼的楼梯清扫两次。然而，每天都有宿舍楼内三分之四的人从这走过……最初，我并不完全听从命令。我觉得我只需要来这里好好读书，尽力考入一所好大学就可以了，我觉得这些事情都是在浪费时间。

    A week later, the class begun, I thought all those were over. But not, I was told to have my room ready for PI in the morning before class begun. What? How could I have time to do that? And I still have to sweep the stairs. That night, I called my mom. I told her that all what I had done so far and I wanted to get out of here ASAP. I told her that I wanted to rent a house in the town and live there instead of living in barrack. My mom’s reaction? She just said don’t give up. There was reason why I had to do all this. After my mom hanged up the phone, I just sat there, thinking how long I still have to stay here for the most important two years in my teenage years.

　　一个星期后，开始上课。我想，值日等等的都该结束了，事与愿违，我被告之在上课前要把宿舍按要求收拾好。什么？我哪里有时间做那些事？我依然需要打扫楼梯。那天晚上，我给妈妈打了电话，将这么久以来我做过的所有事都跟她说了，并说我想尽快离开这里。我告诉她，我再也不想住在军营里了，我想在市区里租一个房子。妈妈的反应？她只是对我说别放弃，我为什么要做那样的事情，必有它的道理。妈妈放下电话的瞬间，我呆坐在那里，想着青少年最宝贵的这两年，我到底要过多久这样的日子。

    After several days, I felt that I began to get used to the life here. And I felt one day didn’t seem to be long and tough. I did what they told me to do, and I did well. I got zero gigs throughout the year in most of the inspection. I did my duty on time and proficiently, I greeted everyone properly and I shined my shoes so they liked like mirrors. I was getting well with most people in the unit.

    几天以后，我发现自己慢慢习惯这里的生活了，一天的时间也不再是那么的漫长和艰难。我照着他们的要求做并完成得很好，在全年的大部分检查中，我都是零处分。我按时且熟练地值日，向每个人适当的敬礼，把自己的鞋子擦得像镜子一样亮，并跟部队里的大部分人相处得很好。

    The week before X’mas break, I was invited to insignia board. It was before X’mas break, so that was early board. And it was for junior year new cadets only. The leaders in the unit told me that I have one week to prepare for the questions and room inspection. And in that week, I have more ten quiz and tests to finish. I really felt horrible, but I insisted and I told myself all this will be gone. On that Saturday, I woke up in the morning and cleaned my room—the biggest room on campus, by myself. The next afternoon, the leaders inspected my room. We didn’t do the question part because our counselor wasn’t here. The next night, we did the question part. I thought they would ask me ten questions only. But I remembered they asked almost twenty questions. And then they told me to wait in my room.

    圣诞节假期前一个星期，我被邀请到军事委员会。因为在圣诞假期前，所以那是一个提前被邀请参加检查从而成为老生的考核，只收11年级（相当于中国高二）的新生。部队里的领导告诉我，我有一个星期的时间去准备问答和房间检查。同时，这周内，我需要完成比平时多十次的小测试。我感到非常紧张，但我坚持对自己说，所有的一切都会过去的。那个周六，我一早起来就独自开始打扫我那全校最大的房间，第二天下午，领导检查了我的房间。由于顾问不在现场，所以我们没有进行提问环节，第三天晚上，才进行了此环节。我以为他们只会问我十个问题，可是我记得他们问了我将近二十个问题，然后他们让我在房间里等着。

    I was sitting in my room in full Dress A for half hour. And they hadn’t come. I took off my dress a coat because I wanted to go to the restroom. Suddenly, all the leaders and my counselor came in my room and yelled at me. They said something such as why I weren’t in dress a, how many questions I missed, how they disappointed me, and they asked me would I succeed if I go to board again. I was thinking, damn. I am going to fail, and eventually, they told me their decision. All in a sudden, they all jumped and told me that I passed. I didn’t know what to say at the time. I hugged with each of them. I became an old man at that night.

    我在房间里西装革履地坐等了半个小时，他们依然还没有来。我脱下燕尾服，准备到休息室稍事休息。突然，所有的领导及我的顾问走进我的房间并对我大声吼叫，他们问了一大堆问题，例如为什么我没有穿正装，我漏了多少个问题，他们怎么让我受挫折，还问我如果再给我一次机会我能否成功。该死的，我想我是落选了。最后，他们会告诉我他们的决定。突然，他们全都跳起来，说我通过了。那个时候，我真的不知道说什么好，我紧紧地拥抱每一个人，一夜之间我长大了。

    After I passed the board, I got the position of squad leader in the senior 2nd make. I came to Culver as a junior. And it is really hard for me to get the rank of officer at the first make in my senior year. At the end of junior year, I knew that I am going to be battalion staff at the beginning of my senior year. I wanted to try my best to get lieutenant at my second make. I did lots of work about supply side for the battalion. The Wednesday at the last week of 2nd term, the regimental staff announced the new make for 2nd make senior. And I heard my names that I got prompted to rank lieutenant and position regimental supply officer. I was so excited. I was waiting for this day for such a long time. And now I could do something for the whole regiment, though I believe every male here didn’t like the Friday morning dry cleaning pick up. Honestly, that wasn’t my idea. And we did that for CAR.

    进入委员会后，我有了和12年级下学期班长同等的地位。我以一名11年级学生的身份进入Culver，12年级（相当于中国的高三）便要获得军官头衔对我来说真的非常困难。11年级期末，我知道12年级那一年我将成为营中的一员，我希望自己能够尽己所能在第二学期里成为一名中尉，所以我做了营中很多关于物资方面的工作。第二学期最后一周的周三，团里宣布了第二学期新的团员名单。当我听到自己的名字时，我感到非常的激动，我被提拔为中尉以及团级后勤部长。我等这天等了很久了，现在我终于可以为整个团做一些贡献了。虽然我相信在座的每一位男性都不喜欢在周五早上排队去拿干洗的衣服。老实说，那并不是我的本意，我们是为了最重要的军事比赛做那些事。

    From a follower to leader, I learned a lot about leadership. Though I am not commander, adjutant, or hall officer, but I did try my best to help out in the unit and to lead by example, to be example.

    从一个追随者到领导者，我在领导力方面学到了很多东西。虽然我并不是指挥官，副官或舍监，但是我尽己所能地帮助他人，起到模范带头作用。

    From wanted to move out of unit and lived in town, to engaged in the system here, my mind and opinion has changed a lot, Culver have taught me a lot, which could help me in the future. I also knew lots of new friends and I also learned from them. I don’t know if I would come back or when I will come back, but I will remember this 2-year at Culver.

    从想搬出去到市区住，到融入这里的体系，我的想法和看法有了巨大的改变。Culver教给我许多令我终身受益的东西，我认识了很多新朋友，并从他们身上学到了很多。我不知道我是否会回来，我也不知道我什么时候会回来，但我永远会记着在Culver度过的这两年。
