To face its struggle and its strife(冲突) and improve their worth.
如何面对困难，完善自我。
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow, 不只是书本知识或是自然奥秘， But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.
而是如何走好人生之旅。 To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,
学会去辨别是非，找寻真理， and gather all the beauty of a flower and a song. 从平凡的点滴中发掘美的韵律。
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace , 如果我的存在使这个世界更加绚丽， Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place. 那么我也就实现了自己的人生目的
And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part, 所以苍天作证，我已全心全意， For character and confidence and happiness of heart. 诠释了品格、信心和幸福的真谛。
