天津商学院 李薇:The Girl

  Good afternoon, dear friends! In the next three minutes, I'm going to talk about a girl that I'm very familiar with. She acts. She sings in the shower. She occasionally rereads the collection of comic books that she accumulated during high school. She questions everything, which often annoys her teachers. Lately she's been busy cramming for exams, and preparing for this speech contest. Yes, as you may already guess it, that girl is just myself!

  I love communicating with people, and sharing my stories with them. That is why this speech contest interests me. But how could I convey enough of myself in only three minutes? Trapped by this question, I decided to take a walk and hope for inspiration.

  While I was walking, I passed by a little girl, playing in the garden. And I started to recall my childhood. I was so naughty that I would always hide my grandpa's pipe and make him look for it for the whole day! I sometimes fought against boys from my neighborhood and would always win! And that's what I still feel proud of. My childhood dreams were very ambitious, but wonderful. I thought I could always be No.1, could be admitted to the best college in China, and could have a business of my own. Wow, it was so great to be a child!!

  I kept on walking and began to think of my parents. They love me so much and would always patiently explain to me why they thought it was important to excel in studies, to be honest to people and to keep striving. So I worked hard and I was among the brightest students. I thought my childhood dream would come true, I could go to the best college in China, but the black July was so cruel that it also painted my heart black.

  In the first few months of my college life, I found myself losing sight of my dreams. The girl was very depressed. But gradually, she woke up and walked out of the dark, because she eventually understood her parents' words and the road that she must follow. She knew that.

  Finally, I found myself here, standing in front of you, with my passion and desire to expect a change. The girl is going to keep striving for her childhood dreams and a bright future.

  So my dear friends, I'm sure many of you have the same dreams with the girl and probably some of you even have the same story with the girl. But don't ever be defeated, keep your confidence and stand up again, just like me, the girl.
