Principal's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Act Wows Graduates

The graduation ceremony at Tainan First Senior High School buzzed with excitement as Principal Liao Tsai-ku donned a pirate captain's costume. The theme, "Departure. COMMENCEMENT," saw Liao symbolically leading the graduating class of 115 into the next chapter of their lives. His dramatic entrance, complete with pirate attire, drew cheers and applause from students and attendees.

Commencement actually means 'beginning.' Graduation is not the end, but the starting point of a brand new life journey.

Liao explained that "commencement" signifies a beginning, not an end. He urged graduates to face the unknown and change with courage, drawing inspiration from tech leaders like Jensen Huang and Lisa Su. He advised them to tackle difficult problems proactively and to cultivate focus amid the constant stream of short videos and social media.

Don't be afraid of the unknown and change, but bravely face challenges and proactively solve the most difficult problems.

The ceremony culminated with the graduates singing their class song, "Remembering the Past at T.F.S.H.," a tune that cleverly blends "Train" with the school's English acronym. As the countdown began, students released colorful ribbons, marking a vibrant end to their high school years.

In an era filled with short videos and social media, you must learn to regain your focus, read more, think more, and don't forget to cultivate the ability to appreciate beautiful things, so that your soul has richer nourishment.
