And so today, in the spirit of my daughter's question

I want to pose a few questions of my own as you begin the next chapter of your lives

And my first question is, who are you gonna be?

And if you'll notice, I'm not asking what are you gonna do

but who are you gonna be?
而是你要成為誰
I'm asking you about how you plan to live your life every day

How are you gonna respond when you don't get that job you had your heart set on?

For all of you are gonna be teachers, what are you gonna do
對于想成為老師的那些人 如果你課上的學生
if the students in your class next year just don't respond to your lessons?

See these are the moments that define us

Not the day you get the promotion
它不是你獲得晉升的那一天
not the day you win teacher of the year

but the times that force you to claw and scratch
而是迫使你摸爬滾打的那些時光
and fight just to get through the day

the moments when you get knocked down

and you're wondering whether it's even worth it to get back up

See, those are the times when you've got to ask yourself who am I gonna be?
