英语比赛演讲稿

    Maybe all of you have ever read these words: Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions: it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
   As a youth, I quite like these words of Samuel Erman. It tells the truth of youth, especially after I entered this university, I realized it is true that youth is not only a matter of time, process is more important.
   Clearly, I remember the day I came to Kaifeng on September, 11th. When I took apart from dear mom and dad, I turned back, and never glanced back, I knew I couldn’t hold up tears because I saw their red eyes the moment I waved goodbye. Facing up to the big campus, I told myself: Hi, girl, you know, it’s you, yourself here, nobody can help you. Come on! Be brave and try your best! There must be a whole new world! Yes, I’m not a timid girl, I have no fear! Supple knees never belong to me! I’m young and full of passion, I will take up my task with light heart and hope!
    In the following days, I experienced tough military training. That made me even stronger. Having stood still in big sun and heavy rains, I sincerely understood “Persistence is victory!” As Michael Jordan said : I can never stop working hard . Each day I feel I have to improve , hard work ,determination … I’ve got to keep pushing myself . Yes , that’s what I nudge me to make more achievements. I actively took part in various of activities., caring little about results. When failed, I would think of the solemn auditorium , the splendid career my college had mad. Then, I cheered up , for the striving history of  henna university taught me: The strongest people are not always the people who win ,but who don’t give up when they lose.
     As a sailing ship has a destination, we must have a definite goal in our life. Now, we are college students, we should know what we are doing and what kind of person we want to be in the future. As an average student with average ability, I have my dreams and life goals, too. And I also know there will be a hard and long way for me to come along, because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not. Many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom met. Even so, we still should be optimistic, because no practice, you will never know how deep the river is, how hot the fire is, the result of on looker is only nothing.
     At last, I remember what Forrest Gump said: Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get.” Yes, we never know what will come to us tomorrow. Maybe hope is frail, but it is hard to kill. As youth, each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. So, dear friends! Just be yourself! Don’t pay mush attention to results, value your experiences and enjoy them! Then, one day, you can proudly tell yourself:
     Although there is no trace in the sky, I have flied away!
