Hi, everybody！
Firstly, congratulations to you all for parting from the twelve years’ preparation for the stupid Gaokao and for your succe in entering Nanjing University(or you can call it a failure, that’s all right).No matter what you think, I have to say, everyone here today are extraordinarily outstanding.And your come reminds me of myself in my freshman year, when everything was fresh, fresh faces, fresh courses, fresh activities and fresh tasty meals in cafeterias(yet, of which I don’t think so any more...).
And today, I’d like to share my freshman life with you.I believe the biggest difference between high school and college life is that you have more options and you can choose your life.But there are something you cannot choose...like the military training.Yes, exactly, you have to tolerate the burning sun, standing straight and keeping stilllike a real soldier, with the bees buzzing around you (while you still have to stand still).However, as for me, the military training was not that bad.Actually, I prefer to call it an ice-breaking time, during which time you get to know each other and share your native lifestyles.That’s a lot of fun, you know, it isn’t the same as you are in high school, now, in college, you come from different cities and maybe different nations.And I believe you have a lot to talk about.Finally, you,newcomers,after the tough time,can feel like a big family in Nanjing University.
Besides,I\'d like to show you the most charming aspect of college life .May be you now feel somewhat confused with your future,namely you may not really know which road to step into .(Over this problem, I have to say,I feel the same way as you do.)But as far as I am concerned,due to its tolerance, university is a happy heaven for various youngsters which means you can love what you love,hate what you hate and try what you haven\'t tried.I think the key point is to follow your paion.My freshman year can be divided into two.The former was mainly about challenge,when I strived to join different students \' societies and multiple activities to challenge myself to do things I never set foot in.What amazed me was that,when I looked back on my freshman year,what shines in my mind are those things:participating in the welcome event,leading volunteers to visit a temple,attending a dancing party,joining the color run, etc.I don\'t think they can be merely regarded meaningful or meaningle.I think the reason they are impreive is that, they are special and they will in the end grow into a part of me.The other part was about recognition,during which time I learnt how to make a poster,to compose a news release and to contact different people.What’s more, I had to make straggle to balance my work and study.I believe it were all these experiences that made me realize what I want indeed.To summarize, the potential of college life is reasonably beyond measure and you are the one at the helm .Now,in front of you is the new gate,don\'t be afraid to push it.You are the future!
