your potential.
“What is potential ”you may ask.Put simply,potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough.Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create,what medical advances you will make or what amazing technologies you will develop!The possibilities are endless,and I have confidence in your ability to make a difference to your family,to your community and to our country.Over the next three years,you will discover your potential whileyou develop as a student and as a person. To fully realize your potential,it is important for you to make the most of our school resources.Take advantage of your classes,learn from your teachers and classmates,and make use of our school facilities.There are also a lot of school activities for you.Join aclub or two,and take an active part in different sports. Of equal importance are good study habits,useful skills and a positive attitude. Carefully plan your study,set clear goals and balance your schoolwork with other activities. As a senior high school student,you must make efforts to improve your communication and problem-solving skills.Last but not least,always look on the bright side and never lose hope,even in difficult situations.In time you will find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual. As Lao-Tzu wisely said,“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character.Senior high school will help you learn and grow,yet you alone are responsible for realizing your great potential.Be confident,do your best and make us proud!
