Hello，everyone. It is a great honor for me to speak here. The topic of my speech is the significance of reading.

That's all. Thanks for your attention.

   One of the best feelings is opening the acceptance letter from a university. As we all know, college is expensive. Throughout most college students’ lives they had almost all their money given to them by their parents. But college is the time true responsibility begins. With the right information at hand, you can definitely get major financial assistance for college tuition（学费）.【小题1】

Some of the highest scholarships are given to college athletes, especially to the football player or baseball player, but do you know you can get scholarships for less known sports? 【小题2】 A senior year spent learning a new sport and perfecting the skills can lead to a full scholarship in college.

Most nonprofit organizations offer high scholarships to their volunteers. Try volunteering in your community, or a branch of major organizations. 【小题3】 It can be best to work for an organization that you are familiar with.

Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society. Building a relationship through visits and phone calls can make you stand out of the crowd. Remember, these people go through hundreds of applications（申请）a day — and a personal touch can really make a difference!

It can never be too early to apply for a scholarship. Applying early is another way to stand out of the crowd. 【小题5】It can also be a numbers game. Applying early can lead to more applications altogether, and someone who applies to 100 scholarships has a much better chance!

   We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.

【小题1】 When I started my Ph.

【小题3】 It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you on that，then you are wrong. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

【小题4】 Our sense of self-worth is based on our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents，our peers，teachers，the media and our own labels. But guess what？They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts，it doesn’t make them true.【小题5】

   You may become both excited and afraid when you are going to a senior high school for the first time. 【小题1】 You are afraid that you can't be used to the new environment. Knowing what to do in senior high school can help you a lot.

★ Set goals early in senior high school.

It is important for you to set goals in life，whether you are young or old. You can have both small dreams and life dreams. If you are not sure what you want to do in the future，don't be afraid to ask for help. 【小题2】

★ Make friends with people you get along well with.

You can make friends with those who have the same interests as you. 【小题3】 If a friend makes you feel uncomfortable，he/she is not your true friend.

★ 【小题4】

When you ask questions, you are thinking about your life and your study. The more questions you ask, the more knowledge you' ll get. Knowledge is power. With more knowledge, you can become more confident in your life.

★ Try one club or sport every term.

【小题5】 In your spare time you can join a club or a sport team according to your interest. You shouldn't join too many clubs or sport teams, or you will have no time to learn subjects well.
