Each fall, recent graduates from Shanghai American School head off to their chosen college or university for the first time. Schools such as SAS tend to talk a lot about “outcomes.” For most people, the term refers to where students are going. Truth be told, although we celebrate that achievement, we believe this definition of “outcomes” is far too narrow.
每年秋天，都是那些刚刚从上海美国学校毕业的学生们第一次去往自己选择的学院或学校学习的时节。包括上海美国学校在内的很多学校都会谈论“结果”。对于大多数人来说，这个词指的是学生即将前往就读的学院或大学。但说实话，我们在庆祝这一成就的同时，也认为对“结果”的这个定义太狭隘了。
The fact is, when we watched the SAS Class of 2019 walk off the graduation stage this past spring, we knew they were carrying far more than a diploma or their array of college acceptances. They were carrying with them the zeal to be lifelong learners, ever seeking new knowledge and skills; they were carrying with them memories of challenges and opportunities that compelled them to live with integrity and compassion; and they were carrying with them the confidence that comes with having moved beyond their comfort zones to lend substance to their dreams.
事实上，当看到2019届毕业生从毕业典礼的舞台上走下来时，我们知道他们获得的不仅仅是文凭或大学录取通知；他们怀揣着成为终身学习者并追求知识和技能的热情；他们用自己充满挑战和机遇的经历，回报给社会以诚信和善意；他们还有着走出舒适区去实现自己梦想的自信心。
We know our graduates are ready for college this fall, because they are ready for life.
SAS Class of 2019, we look forward to your journey.
我们知道毕业生们已经为秋天的大学生活做好了准备，因为他们为未来做好了准备。上海美国学校2019届毕业班的各位，我们期待你们走出自己的精彩。
