大家好！感谢你们。感谢你们。感谢大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今日都好吗？蒂姆·斯派塞好吗？我现在与弗吉利亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德中学的学生们在一起。美国各地从学前班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很兴奋大家今日都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德中学精彩的组织支配。请为你们自己热情鼓掌。

我知道，今日是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入学前班、初中或中学的学生，今日是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点惊慌，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——只有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今日早上还能多睡一小会儿。

我知道这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必需让我接受美式教化。因此，她确定从周一至周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班，所以只能在早晨四点半给我上课。
