I dream to someday be an artist. Although, I can't sing, nor can I draw or paint, nor can I act or write. But, I want to be an artist. I want to create beautiful things for the eyes to look at. I want to create things that no one else has ever thought of or designed. I want to make something meaningful, even if it only holds meanings for me. What kind of art can I provide, you may ask. Since I am art-less when it comes to the traditional art forms. Heck, I can't even arrange flowers into a vase and make them beautiful! Maybe I can draw circles repetitively in the sand, like a Japanese rock garden. Or, I can have hundreds of naked people stand in a shape and photograph it from high above in the sky... oh, wait, someone did that already. But I so want to be an artist, maybe I can even be a featured artist on this AnD site when I become an artist. I would be a reclusive artist, I don't want to be the face behind the art (whatever that may be). I don't want to be scrutinized by the media and the masses, "She's not pretty enough, she's not thin enough, her boobs are too big/small, she looks too old for marketing, she isn't tall enough, she has too many flaws". But, oh, how I want to be an artist. Can I be an artist? I can be anything, anyone I want to be. That's what I was taught growing up... What can I do? What is it that I can offer the world to see that I am worthy of being called an artist? Oh, what I would give to be artistic. Why didn't the greater Gods give me a passion that would flow through my fingers unto a canvas or out of my mouth? When shall I discover that I can wake up one morning to find that I am reincarnated from Davinci or Monet, having their passion flow through me. Oh. Maybe I can be an artist of dreams... of dreaming that I am an artist. Please don't wake me from my dream.
Goodmoring ladies and gentalmen, I am very gald to stand here to have my speech.
Global Citizenship begins at home. Do you know what is the connotation of the Global Citizenship ? To be honest I don’t understand the exactly meaning of the sentence ,so only can I explain it simply .Global Citizenship ,in my opinion ,is not something in word only ,but a kind of responsibility and undertaking ,a way of behaving and thinking .So Global citizenship begins at home ,with a commitment to live responsibility ,to regard all human begins as fellow citizens ,and to be proactive in seeking the common good.
For us university students ,usually we are busy with exams or focusing on the incidents in daily life .We hardly pay attention to the global issues. However , as university students ,we should take the responsibility to think about them ,think about the life around us.
The world develops quickly, but it wandered from the path it should be. Peace and development have become essential issues.
Peace lays a foundation to development. But because of the development, social problems and environmental problems have become serious global problems. Over-population makes us ask for more resources from the limited ones. It causes natural resources fearfully scarce. If we keep on doing so, we will of course lose our reliable living space at last.
Apart from the environment we had broke at home ,we Chinese also have no sense to protect it when traveling abroad. Therefore Chinese travelers’ behaviors in foreign countries have made the native intolerable .And the foreigners have the bad influence about our country.
So I think the sentence of Global Citizenship begins at home means that everyone should be the global citizen ,should take the responsibility to protect our mother land .Global citizenship begins at home ,let we do it through the children and the parents ,through the school and the society, thou the government .There’s an old saying : Action speaks louder than words. Let’s act now . Thank you all attention.
