Teacher's Prayer

Guidance for Reciting

It is a new Teachers' Day for you. As a freshman,are you satisfied with your college teachers?And whether are you missing your former teachers not,who had played an essential role in your growth in your middle school days?

I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,

To face its struggle and its strife and improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,

But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,

And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.

For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,

Then,I shall feel that won and filled my place.

And so I ask my guidance,God,that I may do my part,

For character and confidence and happiness of heart.

教师的心愿

诵读导言

又一个教师节到了。作为大一新生,在一个崭新的环境里学习,你对大学的老师满意吗?你是否还能想起曾经为你的成长倾注了心血的中学老师呢?

想教会学生如何去生活,

如何面对困难,完善自我。

不只是书本知识或是自然奥秘,

而是如何走好人生之旅。

学会去辨别是非,找寻真理,

从平凡的点滴中发掘美的韵律。

如果我的存在使这个世界更加绚丽,

那么我也就实现了自己的人生目的。

所以苍天作证,我已全心全意,

诠释了品格、信心和幸福的真谛。
