Dear Principal, Ms. Mona, ladies and gentlemen:Good morning!

I’m Jackson Liu ’s mother, and I’m very honored to attend his high school graduation ceremony. I asked to speak here myself, not because how outstanding my son is, but because I want to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude.

We chose RDF International School because we were deeply moved by the school motto: responsibility, Discipline, and Fortitude. Our boy once was very rebellious, addicted to video games. we were worried about him a lot. It is right here in this school that he has grown into a much better man.He becomes friendly, polite, willing to communicate with parents, share his growth experiences, have the courage to face difficulties and challenges, and aspire to have the ability to give back to the society in the future.

I believe RDF must have some magic, and this magic is hidden in every educator’s heart. dear teachers! It’s your kindness, respect, patience, encouragement, trust and expectation that light up the children’ future. So, dear teachers! you may never know how important your work is for the children and the families behind them! Therefore, again, I want to express our deep gratitude!

The children are about to leave their dear school. May they always remember the school motto and strive to win glory for their alma mater!

May RDF International School become more and more excellent and have a bright future! Thank you all!

尊敬的校长、校董和老师们、亲爱的家长们和同学们：

大家好！我是Jackson的妈妈，很荣幸参加孩子的高中毕业典礼，我是自己申请上台发言的，并不是因为我的孩子有多么的优秀，而是因为我想借此机会表达我们深深的谢意和感恩。孩子爸爸和我当初选择瑞得福学校，就是因为它的校训：责任、自律、勇气这三个词深深打动了我们。就是在这里，这个曾经非常叛逆，爱打游戏，让家长忧虑的孩子成长为比原来优秀得多的青年。他变得友善有礼貌，愿意与家长交流，分享他的成长点滴，变得有勇气去面对困难和挑战，渴望将来能够有能力回馈社会。

我猜想瑞得福一定有什么魔法吧，我猜想这魔法就是每一位教育者给孩子们的尊重、耐心、鼓励、信任和充满善意的期待！所以敬爱的老师们，你们也许永远都不知道你们的工作对于孩子们和他们背后的家庭有多么重要！你们照亮了他们的前程！因此我要表达我们深深的感恩！

孩子们即将离开母校，愿他们永记校训，为母校争光，愿瑞得福学校越办越好，前途无量！谢谢大家！
