尊敬的各位教授、老师、同学们：
大家好！我是来自中国的留学生李明，今天非常荣幸能够作为学生代表站在这里，发表我的毕业演讲。首先，请允许我向所有支持和帮助过我的人表示最诚挚的感谢。
在马里兰大学的这四年，是我人生中最宝贵的一段时光。从刚来到这里时的陌生与不安，到如今自信地站在讲台上，我经历了很多，也成长了很多。这段旅程不仅让我学到了专业知识，更让我学会了如何面对挑战、如何与不同文化背景的人交流与合作。
作为一名国际学生，我深知语言和文化的差异可能会带来一些困难。但正是这些挑战，让我更加珍惜每一次学习的机会。我感谢我的导师们对我的耐心指导，感谢同学们在我遇到困难时给予的帮助，也感谢学校为我们提供的丰富资源和包容环境。
在这四年里，我参与了多个科研项目，也在校园活动中结识了许多志同道合的朋友。这些经历让我更加坚定了自己的学术目标，也让我对未来充满了信心。
今天，我们即将告别这片充满回忆的土地。但无论未来我们走到哪里，马里兰大学的精神——追求卓越、勇于创新、尊重多元——都将一直伴随着我们。
最后，我想用一句中文表达我的心声：“山高水长，愿我们前程似锦。”
Thank you, everyone.
Dear professors, teachers, and fellow students,
Good morning! I am Li Ming, a Chinese international student, and it is my great honor to stand here today as the student representative to deliver this graduation speech. First of all, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to everyone who has supported and helped me along the way.
The past four years at the University of Maryland have been the most precious time in my life. From the initial sense of unfamiliarity and nervousness when I first arrived, to standing confidently on this stage today, I have experienced a lot and grown a lot. This journey not only taught me professional knowledge, but also taught me how to face challenges and how to communicate and collaborate with people from different cultural backgrounds.
As an international student, I understand that language and cultural differences can sometimes be a challenge. But it was precisely these challenges that made me cherish every learning opportunity. I thank my mentors for their patient guidance, my classmates for the support they gave me when I faced difficulties, and the university for the rich resources and inclusive environment it provided.
Over these four years, I participated in multiple research projects and made many like-minded friends through campus activities. These experiences have strengthened my academic goals and filled me with confidence for the future.
Today, we are about to say goodbye to this land full of memories. But no matter where we go in the future, the spirit of the University of Maryland — striving for excellence, daring to innovate, and respecting diversity — will always accompany us.
Finally, I want to express my feelings in Chinese: "Though the mountains are high and the rivers long, may our future be bright."
Thank you, everyone.
