The possibilities of building new friendshipsand strengthening old ones, of joining a school club, or trying out for a team. The possibilities of growing into a better student and a better person and making not just your family proud but making yourself proud. 幾周前,我和Michelle為Sasha和Malia上學(xué)的事做準(zhǔn)備。她們兩個(gè)對(duì)這非常的期待。我敢打賭她們和你們一樣,有著相同的感覺(jué)。你們?yōu)橄奶斓氖湃ザ駛?,但是你們更?yīng)該期待新的一年。如你們可以結(jié)交新的朋友,加深同老朋友的感情,加入學(xué)校俱樂(lè)部,參加各種團(tuán)隊(duì)的選拔賽。成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)更優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生和個(gè)人,不僅僅讓你的家人自豪,同樣讓你們自己也很有成就感。 build friendships結(jié)交新朋友 But I know some of you may also be a little nervous about starting a new school year.
