And because of these efforts, today, 75 percent of Calhoun's seniors now complete key college application steps, and Terri's school has won state and national recognition.
由于这些努力，今天，有75%的Calhoun的高年级学生现在完成了关键的大学申请步骤，同时Terri的学校也得到了州和国家的认可。
And all of this is just one small part of what Terri does for her students each day. I can go on and on about all the time she spends one-on-one with students, helping them figure out their life path. Terri told us — as you heard, she told us about one of those students, so we reached out to Kyra. And here's what Kyra had to say in her own words. Kyra wrote that “Mrs. Tchorzynski has helped me grow to love myself. She helped me with my doubts and insecurities.” She said, my life has changed “for the better in all aspects.” Kyra said, “She held my hand through my hardest times.” She said, “Mrs. Tchorzynski is my lifesaver.” That's what Kyra said.
这些仅仅是Terri日工学生工作的一小部分，她花在一对一为学生探索人生方向的时间说也说不完。正如你们听到的，Terri向我们提起了她的一个学生Kyra。Kyra这样说，Tchorzynski女士让我学着爱自己，她帮助我解决我的怀疑和不安全，她说我的生活在所有方面已经向着更好迈进。Kyra说，她陪伴我走过最艰难的时光，Tchorzynski女士是我的人生的救星。这就是Kyra说的话。

And this is what each of you do every single day. You see the promise in each of your students. You believe in them even when they can't believe in themselves, and you work tirelessly to help them be who they were truly meant to be. And you do it all in the face of some overwhelming challenges — tight budgets, impossible student-counselor ratios — yeah, amen— endless demands on your time.
这就是你们每个人每天在做的事。你们看到了每个学生的潜力，你们相信着他们即使他们自己都失去信心。你们孜孜不倦地帮助他们成长为他们应该有的样子。你们克服着那么多的困难在做着这样的事情，不仅仅是紧缩的预算和难以置信的学生与顾问的比例，是的，是的，上帝保佑，还有大量的时间投入。
You all come in early, you stay late. You reach into your own pockets — and see, we've got the amen corner. You stick with students in their darkest moments, when they're most anxious and afraid. And if anyone is dealing with a college (high school) senior or junior, you know what this feels like.
你们起早贪黑，你们甚至要自掏腰包，看，有人表示同意，你们在这些学生最黑暗的时光里坚守着，在他们最焦虑和恐惧的时候，你们当中为大三大四的学生服务的应该最清楚了。
