族群和諧，社會動力

上週末，我應邀前往德州出席一場極具意義的拉丁裔獎學金晚宴。這不僅是一場表彰優秀學子的慶典，更是一場凝聚族群力量、見證社會多元共融的盛會。現場賓客雲集，來自各行各業的社區領袖、教育工作者、企業代表以及家庭成員齊聚一堂，共同見證這一段段年輕人奮鬥與夢想交織的旅程。

我很榮幸受邀在晚宴上致詞。站在舞台上，我望著台下那一雙雙懷抱希望的眼睛，內心不禁湧上一股責任感與感動。我談到了族群和諧在當今社會中的重要性——不論是亞裔、拉丁裔、非裔或白人，每一個族群都是美國這片土地上不可或缺的拼圖。唯有彼此尊重、理解、合作，我們的社會才能真正穩健而長久地發展。

我特別強調，教育是翻轉命運的關鍵，也是連結不同族群、打破隔閡的橋樑。今晚受到表彰的這些青年學子，不僅是家庭的驕傲，更是社會的希望。他們的努力與成就提醒我們，只要給予平等的機會與支持，每個人都能在人生的舞台上綻放光芒。

晚宴的氛圍溫馨而隆重。在音樂與掌聲中，我與許多來自不同文化背景的朋友交流，深感族群之間的合作與理解正不斷深化。我們的差異不應是隔閡，而應成為彼此學習與共進的起點。

這一晚，我不僅見證了希望，也更加堅定了推動社區團結與多元共融的信念。族群和諧，不僅是一種理想，更是推動社會不斷前行的強大動力。

Unity in Diversity: The Driving Force of Society

This past weekend, I had the honor of attending a Latino Scholarship Gala in Texas—a celebration not only of academic excellence, but also of community spirit, cultural pride, and the power of education to shape lives. It was a gathering filled with hope, where students, families, educators, and community leaders came together to recognize the achievements of young scholars and the dreams they carry forward.

I was invited to give a speech during the event. As I stood before the audience, looking into the bright and determined faces of students and supporters, I felt deeply moved and humbled. I spoke about the importance of racial and ethnic harmony in our ever-evolving society. In a nation built upon diversity, every group—Latino, Asian, African American, White, and others—contributes a vital thread to the fabric of our shared future. True strength lies not in uniformity, but in unity.

I emphasized that education is the great equalizer—it is the bridge that connects different backgrounds and opens doors to opportunity. The young scholars honored that evening represent more than personal success; they are symbols of perseverance, resilience, and the transformative power of support. They are not only the pride of their families, but also the hope of the broader community.

The atmosphere was both festive and heartfelt. As music played and applause echoed through the hall, I had meaningful conversations with guests from all walks of life. Each exchange reaffirmed my belief that mutual respect and collaboration across cultures are not only possible, but already unfolding all around us. Our differences should not divide us; they should inspire us to listen, to learn, and to build together.

That evening left a lasting impression on me. I witnessed not just recognition of academic merit, but a reaffirmation of our collective commitment to a better, more inclusive society. Ethnic harmony is not just an ideal—it is a dynamic force that propels our communities forward.
