美国大学毕业季已经过去了，但是美国大学毕业典礼上那些让人激动的声音仍在很多学子耳边回荡。这些声音或是来自著名的成功人士，抑或是来自刚毕业的同龄人。

　　下面为大家分享2016美国大学毕业典礼上毕业生演讲的精彩部分，看看毕业生们对自己的伙伴有什么话要说。

　　Daniella Reimann，维拉诺瓦大学:

　　“How do we know that we have made a difference in the world? Look left and right, we have helped set the fire in the hearts of the sixteen hundred graduates right here in this stadium.”

　　Jaisa Minor，夏威夷大学马诺阿分校:

　　“We live in a society that encourages us to do things later in life when everything around us is moving faster than ever before. We are taught that our twenties are a time of self-discovery, but too many of us have been blinded by the myth that when we turn thirty, somehow we will suddenly have it all figured out and will finally be prepared to take active responsibility for our adulthood. More than ever before, it is normal to start careers later, marry later, and in a lot of cases we just so happen to graduate a little later. Hey, we’re human, but we are also the masters of our fate, and we have an abundance of talent to offer to a world that is desperately in need of our contributions. Our competition is coming from every corner of this big, blue planet, and there is no time to waste.”

　　Domonique D. Jones，加州大学美熹德分校:

　　“It may seem unavoidable to become engrossed in all things repetitive and mundane. But you must remember what you are doing, why you are doing it, who you are doing it for, and keep your eyes on the end goal while remaining focused. Understand that your work is not in vain, you may not live to see the completion of your work but continue to work as you are making an investment in the future.”

　　Kyle Stepp ，新墨西哥大学

　　“Adversity has taught me, we have to find the beauty hidden in our challenges and value the people in our lives. Throughout our journeys we have the choice at any given moment to decide what we are going to do and who we are going be. As you continue moving forward remember that everything we do is a choice.

　　Happiness is a choice, and I choose happiness. But we all know it is not easy to just be happy; happiness is a habit we develop over time. This habit comes from Being Kind, Being Selfless, Being Intentional, Being Excited, and Being Grateful. I didn’t learn these habits by myself. I learned them from some special people that changed my life forever.

　　teachers, and this already gives us an advantage.”

　　Sebastián Negrón Reichard，宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院:

　　“This morning, however, I want to share what I think are the characteristics that actually shape us and set us apart as a generation. I will do so by comparing us… to a Snapchat story. Yes, you heard it right. ... Number One: just like Snapchat stories are 10 seconds long, we understand that we do not have unlimited time to get things done. ... Number Two: we navigate through friends’ Snapchat stories all the time. ... And Number Three: just like we are confident enough to post a Snapchat story, we have the hubris to believe we can impact the people around us.”
