別放棄未來會更好畢業演講
She may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.
她也許是個無家可歸的孩子,但是現在這個女孩擁有至高無上的榮譽。
A 17-year-old student who spent much of high school living bouncing around homeless shelters — and sometimes sleeping in her car — today graduated as valedictorian of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.
這個17歲的學生高中大部分時間都住在收容所,有時還得睡在車裏。她就讀於位於亞特蘭大佐治亞州克萊頓縣的查爾斯德魯高中,今天作爲所在班級的畢業生代表光榮畢業,並在畢業典禮上致告別辭。
Chelsea Fearce, who held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night,“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on mats on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony.
這位叫切爾西-菲爾斯的女孩高中績點4.446,並在SAT考試中拿到1900分。高中期間,晚上收容所熄燈後她只能在用手機來學習,“我知道自己越來越強大。我無家可歸。我的家人都睡在地板的墊子上,如果幸運的話,每天可以不止飽餐一頓。淋浴、食物和乾淨的衣服,這些對於我來說都是可望而不可及的`,” 菲爾斯在畢業演講時說道。
Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day.“I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore,” she told WSBTV.
菲爾斯靠着對未來更好生活的嚮往克服了每天的困難。“我告訴自己不要放棄,因爲未來會更好”,她對WSBTV新聞網的記者表示。
One of five children, Fearce's family sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one.
菲爾斯家裏一共有5個孩子,有時一家人還有公寓可以住,但有時不得不住在流浪收容所甚至車裏(如果有車的話)。
“You’re worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes, go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can.”
“你要擔心家庭生活,甚至在學校的時候也會。還要擔心有時會挨點餓,有時會很餓。你只能這樣,有吃的時候就趕快吃。”
Miraculously, Fearce overcame the odds and even tested high enough to enroll in college classes half way through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-med.
菲爾斯奇蹟般地克服了這種困境,甚至在高中才上到一半的時候就取得了足以進入大學的成績。明年她就將作爲一名大學新生就讀於斯貝爾曼學院,開始大學生活,她計劃在醫學預科學習生物。
“Don’t give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,” Fearce said.
“不要放棄。現在就做你應該做的,這樣你就會擁有夢想中的未來。” 菲爾斯說。
