Good morning America! Hey, congratulations to all the young people across this country who are heading to college this fall. Particularly those of you who are the first in your families to pursue your higher education, I am so proud of you because as a first generation college graduate myself, I know it isn't easy to get to this point.
美国早上好!祝贺那些即将在今年秋天进入大学的所有年轻人。特别是那些在你的家庭中成为第一个接受高等教育的人,我为你们感到特别的骄傲,因为我也是家里的第一代大学毕业生,我知道要取得这个成就是很不容易的。
Back when I first arrived at college I had plenty of moments of anxiety and doubt. I struggled to find my community choose my classes I didn't even know what right size sheets to put on my bed. But before long I started to hit my stride I discovered subjects I was passionate about, I made friends I loved, and I went on to have the career that I dreamed of in public service.
回想起我第一次上大学的时候 曾有过很多焦虑和怀疑自己的时刻。我努力寻找我的团体,选择我的课程,我甚至不知道在我的床上应该放什么尺寸的床单。但不久之后我开始能大步向前走,我找到了我热爱的学科,我找到了我爱的朋友,我继续从事我在公共服务领域所梦想着的事业。
And as you prepare to start your own college journey I want to give you a few pieces of advice.
当你们准备开始自己的大学之旅之前,我想给你们一些建议。
First, don't ever doubt that you deserve to be there. The admissions committee saw something special in you, and they were confident that you could succeed. That's why they accepted you. So don't waste any time worrying about whether you belong. Instead, put that energy into working hard and learning. Learn as much as you can.
首先,永远不要怀疑你自己,你值得在那里。招生委员会在你身上看到了一些特别的东西,他们相信你们能成功。这就是他们选择你们的原因。所以不要浪费时间去担心你是否属于这里。相反,你应该把精力投入到努力工作和学习中。尽可能地多学点东西。
