  • A third grade student in Texas was surprised with a $10,000 scholarship and early admittance to a Texas university after a video of her saying her daily motivational mantra caught the eyes of university administrators1.

    德克萨斯州一名小学三年级学生每天说一段自己的励志口号的视频,引起了一所大学校方的注意,从而获得了10000美元的奖学金,并且提前被该大学录取,这让她很惊讶。

    Jordin Phipps, 8, of Garland, Texas, was filmed by her mom earlier this month repeating the motivational phrase she and her classmates say daily at Watson Technology Center in Garland.

    来自德克萨斯州嘉伦市的乔丁·菲普斯年仅8岁,本月早些时候,她的妈妈拍下了她和她的同学每天在沃森科技中心重复说的励志口号的视频。

    "I am smart. I am a leader. Failure is not an option for me," Jordin says in the video. "Success is only moments away."

    "我聪明伶俐,掌控全局,我不会失败。"乔丁在视频中这么说道。"成功只是时间的问题。"

    Jordina's mom, Nichole Smith, a University of North Texas alumn, shared the video on the university's Facebook page and received a call from school officials this week.

    乔丁的妈妈妮科尔·史密斯毕业于北德克萨斯大学,她将这段视频分享到了母校的脸书网页,这周收到了校方的来电。

    "They contacted me on Wednesday and said they wanted to present her with a scholarship," Smith, a special education teacher, told ABC News.

    目前是一名特殊教育教师的史密斯在接受美国广播公司新闻网采访时表示:"他们周三联系了我,说想给她颁发奖学金。"

    University of North Texas officials traveled from the school's Denton campus2 to Jordin's elementary school Thursday to surprise her at a school assembly3.

    北德克萨斯大学的行政人员周四从从位于丹顿的校园来到了乔丁所在的小学,想在校方会议上给她一个惊喜。

    Jordin was told by the university's director of admissions4 that she had won the Presidential Excellence5 Scholarship for Leadership – a $10,000 prize usually given to high school seniors and transfer6 students. She's also guaranteed a spot in the school's Class of 2030.

    大学的招生主任告知乔丁,她获得了卓越领导奖奖学金--这10000美元的奖金通常是颁发给高中生和转学生的,同时她也被该校2030级提前录取。

    Smith said that despite Jordin's motivational mantra, she is actually a shy child. The attention from University of North Texas is something Smith hopes will inspire her daughter.

    史密斯女士表示,尽管乔丁会说励志箴言,但是她实际上很害羞,她希望北德克萨斯大学的关注可以激励她的女儿。

    "I think that was a way for God to open a door and show her that she can do anything," Smith said.

    她说道:"我认为这是上帝打开一扇门、并且告诉她可以做任何事情的一种方式。"
