Dear fellow students from Grade 10:
Greetings. Welcome to join in the warm and united family of Soochow Academy!
For the following year, you will be experiencing exhilarating academic exploration and various activities.
Nonetheless, I still want to stress the importance of academic integrity during the academic year, which is
THE priority in your learning progress.
As a Grade 11 student and a member of Student Union, I have achieved the award of Top Academic
Performance for the last academic year through my genuine efforts and integrity. I was fascinated about
learning new knowledge in depth and hope you could resonate with me. Well, the point is that nothing
could be achieved by dishonest approaches but by careful and persistent studying. Any cheating behaviors
would considered a violation to school rules——not only your behavior points would be deducted by the
student union, it would also be recorded in your personal profiles by counselors and teachers. You certainly
would not want to lose your point and reputation, don’t you?
Anyway, our academy is still welcoming for those who really want to learn knowledge. Teachers or students
including me would be greatly willing to assist you with whatever issues you meet in your daily life. As long
as you keep your integrity, I believe you could overcome any problems you encounter!
…
That is all for today’s speech. I wish you a great year at our campus!
Best Wishes, Charles Yang, Co-founder of Youth Torch
