Henry
It is my honor to talk about Henry. Henry’s one of a kind. 你知道有谁能用钢琴弹奏《十大赌博靠谱信誉的平台》的所有曲子吗? Henry does. To anyone in my age group, or for that matter, 任何其他年龄段的人都可以做的最酷的事情之一. Do you know anybody that can play piano without looking at the keys because her hair has grown so long in front that she can hardly see in front of her? Henry does. 你认识受过古典钢琴训练的人吗, 但他足够开放，也足够有动力加入摇滚乐队? Henry did this year. You get where I am headed, she’s one of a kind person; a character; a Stevenson legend.
亨利自称是一位受过古典训练的钢琴家, 她有足够的知识和音乐才能证明这一点. However, I see Henry as a rock star. And when I define a rock star, I mean an individual who’s brave, gives their being in all that they do, and has that quiet, confident, cool factor. Henry’s got it all. 我在很多场合都看到过亨利的勇气. 在课堂上，当她与课堂上的流行观点背道而驰时. During performances, especially the epic song she performed during the Arts Manifest. Anyone that was there can testify how moving and electric it was seeing Henry play. 这背后是很多的勇气和努力. That leads me to the second aspect of being a rock star: Henry’s tremendous work ethic and ability to give her being to her work. 亨利经常说她不相信天赋，只相信努力. And she lives this saying. In all my years leading the Rock Band, 我从未见过比她更努力的人，她会督促自己和他人做到最好. Henry gives it all, and we are a witness during performances of the countless hours of work that she puts in. Thank you for working so hard. 见证你的劳动成果是多么美好. Finally, Henry’s got the cool factor. It’s the Beatlesque hair, the confident stare, the wearing of black, her sarcasm, and, ultimately, her kindness. Personally, Henry on many occasions would come up to me and ask me how she could help and inquire about events that have affected me this year. Henry’s one of a kind, and I could probably continue this speech for a bit longer; however, I am allowed a certain amount of time. Henry, thank you for being one of a kind and congratulations on your high school graduation. 祝你明年大学一切顺利, 音乐界会在哪里意识到你的摇滚明星身份.
Rosie
Rosie is a graduate.
To say this, though–to say it confidently, 要满怀激情地说出这句话，必须经过深思熟虑. 在这一点上，我想起了一个问沃尔特·惠特曼:“草是什么??”, and of Whitman’s response, which showed us that to question the grass is to inquire–simultaneously–about the oppressively obvious and the endlessly enigmatic. 所以，一方面，罗西是一个毕业生. And she is also much more.
This is my first year at Stevenson, but when it comes to Rosie, I learned quickly. 作为她的导师，我和她一起学习，从她那里学习. 我了解到，在许多日子里，罗茜感到了挑战. She felt illness. 她感到挣扎、不舒服、不确定和担心. Rosie, though, is not these things.
在他们之中——在他们所有人当中——罗西是坚韧不拔的.
当罗西开始第四节的最后冲刺时，她表现出了毅力.
As she embraced challenge, set goals, and fulfilled intentions, she was perseverance.
As she arrived for the final Student Evaluation day and overcame discomfort to meet with teachers, she was perseverance.
Amid friends and faculty, under a Manhattan sky, 在自由女神像坚定的注视下, 罗西对同志情谊的承诺和对生活的拥抱是坚持不懈的.
With perseverance, Rosie is a student, a friend, a learner, a joker, and a leader.
罗西是善良的动能和礼貌的力量.
To see all of this, to say all of this, 知道罗茜做的不仅仅是强迫自己, for in the process, she inspired me and provided me with a perpetual mantra: When the going gets tough, be as tough as Rosie.
With all of this, I know that describing Rosie as a graduate is an understatement.
Rosie is perseverance.
She is inspiration.
She is success.
而且，我很自豪地说，罗茜是全球最大的博彩平台的毕业生.
Kelly
Kelly writes….
Kelly writes for her teachers. She writes for her friends. She writes and wins awards. 但最重要的是，凯莉为自己写作. She writes to shine a light. She writes to find her way.
凯利是唯一一个连续三年选修“非创造性写作”课程的学生. In that time she distinguished herself as the polar opposite of that course’s title.
In that class Kelly was fearless. She was always ready to work outside of her comfort zone, no matter how unconventional the prompt. She pushed herself. 她无畏地分享她的工作，并提供周到的意见, 在批评时对同事提出建设性意见. She was a consummate group member, quick to make others feel comfortable; hers was a galvanizing, inspiring presence.
如果一个作家的消费不如他的创作多，那他就不可能有什么成就. And in our time working together I came to know that Kelly is an avid and capable reader. She is able to tease subtle nuances out of complex texts, and she often led class discussions. During a lesson last fall on conceptual metaphors from Johnson and Lakoff’s seminal text “Metaphors we live by,凯利是班上最早掌握并解释关键概念的学生之一.
Kelly can be fiercely outspoken. 她可以坚定地忠于自己的信仰. 她可以自信地质疑理性背后的理由. Kelly can also recognize connections, empathize with common struggles, and guide her younger peers. 凯利可以做到这一切，同时用相关的文学作品点缀每一条评论, political, 流行文化也展现了她超越年龄的意识.
All of this means that in the eyes of this English teacher and the eyes of an English teacher thousands of miles away, 凯利准备把它提升到另一个层次. We are truly excited for her. Write on.
Aaron
今天我很荣幸能谈谈亚伦.
从一开始，我就能看出亚伦是一个善良的人. His gentle demeanor, his sensitivity, his caring nature – you know it’s sincere, that it’s from the heart. On Senior Readiness day, he brought a delicious strawberry cake, with a message written, “Good Luck, Seniors.“这并不奇怪，但对亚伦来说是一个典型的举动. 他是一个给予的人，他不期望任何回报. Aaron, for those who may forget to say, “thank you”, 现在让我感谢你——感谢你是一个多愁善感、善解人意的人. 提醒自己这些优点，因为它们会让你走得更远. And I know you’ve mentioned that Stevenson is a home to you and that you will miss it – but as you’ve said, 你已经准备好进入人生的下一个阶段了, 你知道你可以随时回家.
Larissa
拉丽莎，我要告诉你一个老师的秘密. 每当我们谈论我们的学生, and your name comes up, someone will inevitably call you “cool.” Not cool in the sense of how Cleopatra is in Clone High or how Lottie wants to be in Snotgirl, but in the sense of having a sense of style that’s all your own and having an interest in art and literature and music that is idiosyncratic and individual, 然而，你很乐意与周围的人分享.
在我认识你并教你的这段时间里, I’ve always known I can count on you to have a different perspective on any topic than I expect, to make class discussion more interesting, and to strike up conversations outside of class on topics running the gamut from social justice to contemporary comics to 90s TV shows. Your empathy, creativity, talent, 渊博的知识总是以意想不到的方式在你所做的每件事中闪耀. I know that whatever you do next, you’ll do it in a way that’s entirely Larissa and that you’ll find a way to surround yourself with people who appreciate that Larissa-ness. You’re going to have so many adventures, and they’re going to be entirely in your own style.
As Brian K. 沃恩写道:“每段感情都是一种教育. Each new person we welcome into our hearts is a chance to evolve into something radically different than we used to be.“谢谢你们让我成为你们教育的一部分. You’ve absolutely helped me evolve as a person and a teacher, and I hope I’ve done the same for you. 我很期待看到你接下来的选择, 因为我知道你的人生之路可能并不传统, but it will lead you to interesting places and that anyone who joins you on this journey will become a better person for it.
David
“Hi Russ.”
These are the words that greeted me anytime I passed, or was within 15 feet of, David. You really have to hear them yourself to appreciate the warmth that they carry when he says them. 安慰的语调每次都是一样的，而且总是真诚的. His gregarious nature immediately puts you at ease; David is completely pure of heart, authentic, and sincere. He possesses a level of self-awareness, meta-cognition, and candor that is seldom seen in anyone, 更不用说那些还没有资格在总统选举中投票的人了..
And David is determined, too. 大卫是一个自学成才的人，这让我很嫉妒. Anytime I saw David I knew that there was a good chance that he’d share with me his most recent project–maybe a fuzz box, maybe a preamp, that mask. Maybe the cover for a truss rod. 这些都是他自己学会的. 然而，与接下来发生的事情相比，它们显得微不足道. The guitar. 大卫设计，形状，并建造了一个实心吉他. He hand wired it and included a number of circuit modifications to produce a plethora of different tones. 他自己把脖子雕刻得很精确. And let me tell you, it plays. David has drawn inspiration from personal hardship and used it to fuel incredibly creative pursuits, and shaped them into beautiful and functional pieces of art that will no doubt be used to create music to be enjoyed by all those around him for decades.
One of the most meaningful things about working at Stevenson is not only the effect we all hope to have on our students, 但它们对我们的深远影响. 今年我偷偷地通过大卫生活. 他重新点燃了我从高中起就搁置的一个目标. I didn’t have the mental wherewithal or stamina to believe that I could pull it off alone, 所以我一直在研究角色，然后慢慢放手. David did it all alone. 也许他会愿意帮我解决我自己的问题.
为了帮助他一路走来，我希望这将提供一些灵感.
In addition to David’s approachability, earnestness, and uncanny knack for tinkering, 他还拥有毫不动摇的诚实，这使他成为一名优秀的学生. This is particularly true in the sciences, where his curiosity, sound logic, and thirst for inquiry as to the way things work has led to some tremendous accomplishments. In honor of them, it is my pleasure to present this year’s Outstanding Achievement in Science Award to David. Congratulations!
