Telling the story of today.
9
In my junior year of college, listening to the Hamilton soundtrack became my coping mechanism that would get me through the day.
10
In case you don't know of the musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda,
11
it tells the story of an orphan and immigrant who became one of the founding fathers of America.
12
After listening to the album, I dove into the fandom, memorized all of the songs while walking to class, waiting for the bus, and before I went to sleep.
13
I came here on a scholarship a long way from my home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
14
This opportunity to be here at the prestigious University of Wisconsin-Madison did not come easy or cost little for any of us.
15
My hopeful freshman self had started out college with big dreams.
16
I wanted to make the most out of my time here because just like Hamilton, there's a million things I haven't done.
17
In the beginning, the unknown was exciting.
18
Remember those days?
19
I could justify struggling in calculus or chemistry
20
because I was only a freshman and I thought that by the time I'm a senior I'll be a pro at everything.
21
But as students we juggle a lot on our plates.
22
We juggle our studies, relationships with friends and family and in most in my case most of them were abroad
23
separated by a 14-hour time difference.
24
Most importantly, we worked towards the promise of a great future for ourselves.
25
While I was carrying the expectations of many, the heaviest ones were my own.
26
When I didn't meet them, the person I disappointed the most was myself.
27
My second year in college, I suffered burnout to the point of losing motivation to finish this degree.
28
I'd overwhelmed myself past my breaking point, kept chasing things that would look good on my resume,
29
but I stopped feeling passion for anything I did or learned.
30
And the truth was, all I wanted to do was sleep all the time.
31
I was so desperate to find a spark of enthusiasm, the same one we all overflowed with at the beginning,
32
only to feel so helpless.
33
But friends, look at where you are.
34
Look at where you started.
35
You made it here to the last act.
36
You did it day after day.
37
You made the choice to rise up and give yourself another chance to start over every single morning.
38
And for me, I sang like my life was a Tony Ward winning Broadway musical.
39
And believe me, you did not throw away your shot.
40
Because if you graduated, having completed most of your coursework,
41
from the comfort of your own bed staring into your laptop, you made it.
42
I see you.
43
If you graduated, having spent all hours of the day in the library or evenings in coffee shops, you made it.
44
I see you.
45
Or if you are anywhere in between, you made it.
46
I see you.
47
There is everyday human experiences that give weight and substance to the certificate you're about to receive.
48
Every sacrifice, every bit of energy you drag out of you every morning,
49
even if all you managed to do was scratch the bare minimum, you are here today.
50
You're graduating today, and I am proud of you.
51
I'm immensely proud of you.
52
Now, at the end, I look back and keep thanking God,
53
teachers and mentors, mental health counselors at the University Health Services,
54
my family and friends who helped carry me through till today.
55
I thank Lin-Manuel for writing his songs, helping me finish my Nina story,
56
and for reimagining diverse representations on the Broadway stage.
57
Madison, I'll miss your winters, your sunsets, your super frozen lakes,
58
but I look forward to the future that the University of Wisconsin has prepared me for.
59
I love this school with all my heart.
60
My fellow graduates, as we proudly leave this campus,
61
remember the dark moments that shaped us from the ground up, the good times that we are grateful for,
62
and the person we became because of it.
63
We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye, say goodbye one last time.
64
Congratulations, Badgers!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
