2008/10/07 Tina Wen's A1 Speech
Title: What will you do in the future? delivered on Sep. 2 (AMTC)
(Opening)
One day, some celebrities were standing around a newborn baby.
Then the general said, “Look! He’ll be a general in the future. I can see from the way he kicked!
A bank president said, “No. From the way he made a fist, I think he’ll be a banker.”
Finally, a president said, “I believe he will be a president in the future. Look, he is still wearing a smile when pee his pants and wet his bed.
(Body)
What will you do in the future? When I was an elementary school student, my friends often asked me this question. Come on, I was only six, how did I know? But here came the problem, the most common topic you had in the composition class is “What will you do in the future?” To write a composition was really difficult for a kid. The first idea I got was to be a teacher! I want to be a teacher! My teacher is the most powerful one in the world. So I wrote, “One day I will be a teacher because I can punish my students freely and feel no guilty.”
Then I entered junior high, I became an independent teenager, not a stupid kid anymore. At that time, I disliked teachers, parents, rules and social values. In order to show I’m special, in the composition class, I chose so-called “tyrant” to be my idol. “I want to be someone like Emperor Qin Shi Huang because he was cool. He had the Great Wall of China built. And it was the only construction that Neil Armstrong could see when he walked on the moon surface. Qin Shi Huang was cool because he unified the Chinese units of measurement such as weights, measures and currency. The only thing he lost was that he didn’t burn out all books so that’s why I have to study in this stupid classroom.” I didn’t know how I got the courage to write it. Luckily, my teacher seemed to be open-minded. And I still got an A.
The Emperor of Qin Dynasty didn’t affect me much. When I became a high school student, I was still a normal person. Under the pressure of entering a good college, I stopped dreaming, and followed my parents’ expectation- to be a doctor. I knew almost nothing about being a doctor. People said it was a job with high salary and status. And the most important is that I would have the chance to marry the son of hospital’s executives. I pushed myself to study courses I was uninterested. Of course, my grade was like a patient with weak heartbeat…expired finally.
(Conclusion)
”No matter what they tell you,No matter what they do,No matter what they teach you,What you believe is true.”
When listening to this song, I realized something. Just like the lyrics, I can’t deny what I believe. And I can't be what I'm not. Now if you ask me my dreams, I’ll say, “I hope I’ll have courage to pursue my dreams. No matter it’s easy to realize or not.” “I hope that no matter I want to be a teacher, a doctor or a superstar, no matter I succeed or not, I’ll enjoy every moment and have fun.”
