“People often compare life to a marathon, but there is an essential difference between a life marathon and a competitive one. The marathon of life is not a race to run faster than anyone else, but whether you reach the end.

我们常常将人生比作马拉松，但人生马拉松和竞技马拉松有着本质的不同。人生马拉松不是一场比谁跑得快的比赛，胜利的标志不是你第几个抵达终点，而是你是否抵达终点。而每个人都有自己的目标和路线，每个人都有自己的行进方向和方式，只要执着和坚持，人人都能到达自己的马拉松终点。

A year ago, we planted a small seed in ISA Liwan, today it has blossomed. Out of the initial confusion, over the mountain of language, with firm motivation and an open mind, students sing all the way on the road to becoming a better self.”

一年前，我们在爱莎荔湾种下的那颗小小的种子，今天已经开出了大大的花。走出初始的迷茫，翻过语言的大山，明确奋斗的方向，坚定努力的决心，拥有开放的心态，在成为更好的自己的道路上同学们一路高歌。”

At ISA Liwan, we take "Cultivate future innovators, leaders, lifelong learners, and achieve their dreams." as our mission. In his speech, Mr Peter Guo, Principal of Middle School, said that looking towards the future, he hopes that every students can continue to develop their creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills, and also, embrace every opportunity to learn, grow, and develop.

在爱莎荔湾，我们以“培养未来的创新者、领导者和终身学习者，成就每个人的梦想”作为使命。荔湾爱莎文华学校初中部校长郭晓晖先生在致辞中表示，展望未来，希望每一位学生都可以继续发展他们的创造力、创新能力和批判性思维能力，拥抱每一个学习、成长和发展的机会。

“To our students, I want to say how proud we are of each and every one of you. You have demonstrated resilience, determination, and dedication throughout your time in Middle school. You have shown us that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. Your achievements today are a testament to your commitment to excellence, and we have no doubt that you will continue to excel in high school and beyond.

对于我们的学生，我想说，我们为你们每一个人感到骄傲。你在中学期间表现出了韧性、决心和奉献精神。你们向我们表明，只要努力付出，坚持不懈，一切皆有可能。你们今天的成就证明了你们追求卓越的承诺，我们毫不怀疑，你们将在高中及以后继续表现出色。

As our students prepare to leave middle school behind, let us remind them that this is not the end but rather the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. High school will present new challenges and opportunities, but with the skills and knowledge they have acquired during their time here, they are well equipped to face them head-on. Let us encourage them to continue striving for excellence, to embrace new experiences, and to never give up on their dreams.

当我们的学生准备离开中学时，让我们提醒他们，这不是结束，而是他们人生新篇章的开始。高中将会带来新的挑战和机遇，但他们在这里学到的技能和知识，使他们有能力正面面对这些挑战。让我们鼓励他们继续追求卓越，拥抱新的体验，永不放弃自己的梦想。”
