2021毕业季
青春不散场
高中四年，
一轮回，一转瞬，一弹指，
一个不经意的擦肩。
四年里收获的
有成功，有失败，
有欢笑，有泪水。
其实，他们的名字叫做成长。

SUMMER TIME
十八岁，人生最美丽的时光，如蓓蕾初放，如骏马轻扬。意气风发，踌躇满志，纵横披靡，指点江山。投身广阔天地，前程无限美好。如箭在弦，迫不及待要射向大学殿堂。
小时候，让你们弹琴跳舞下棋作画，体操游泳击剑打球样样不落，是为了给你们提供一个发挥潜能的平台，一付健康稳重的好身板，一双善于发现美欣赏美的眼睛，一颗细腻敏感又温润丰富的心灵。夯实基础，静待花开。每一次争分夺秒的接送，每一回寒来暑往的奔波，我们甘之如饴，相互陪伴，共同成长。不是虎妈狼爸，勿须沽名钓誉，只为你们的每一段进步衷心喝彩欣慰欢畅。希望自强不息顽强拼搏的烙印，能让你们在这个纷繁多元的世界，保持本真，立于不败之地。
你们就要展翅高飞，奔向心中的理想，自由自在，选择喜欢的专业，品尝爱情的芬芳。只管去飞，去闯，追求更高，更强，我们永远是你们的坚强后盾休憩港湾。任时光流转岁月变换，你我心中，永远有爱，有光！
终于毕业啦！Congratulations!
Covid-19 Pandemic 终于在2021年的夏天基本结束了一切活动回归正常。我们有幸邀请到2021年的几位CFN 高中毕业生一起参加毕业照活动，与大家一起分享他们是如何渡过这一个特殊的毕业年份的。因为Covid, 人类会牢记2021, 而毕业于这一年的学子们也将带着这一份不寻常迈入人生的另一个起点。祝福各位2021毕业生初心不易，鹏程万里！

特别感谢
CFN特别感谢老刘和BianYun摄影师的辛勤付出，工作之余抽时间出来给孩子们照像，顶着近80 F的高温，连续拍了两个多小时，几乎没休息。这才有了这么多美图大片。景深，颜色，亮光，对比，构图，心细如发，为了拍摄大片，还使用了村长级别的人肉遮光板。效果/笑果非同凡响。

编后语
我TM太南了！协调10来个高中生小屁孩儿的时间安排，好几个都跟倔驴一样，死活不来。不情不愿的来了拍照，一看拍出来的大片儿，然后拍的比谁都欢！恨不得把照相机快门摁烂了。家长都感谢我说，'我们都放弃了，谢谢你的耐心和坚持。' 我心想，'我也想放弃啊?! 这不骑虎难下嘛！' 现在悔青了肠子，气的肝儿颤。
真的等照片出来，看着毕业孩子们脸上的笑容，一切都觉得值了。2020年对2020/2021年毕业的孩子们都是很特别的，少了很多平时的活动，爬梯，多了很多遗憾。但同时，他们一样面临着升学毕业的压力。当看到他们洋溢的青春气息，恣意的搞怪笑容，谁还会记得那悲催的2020呢？高中毕业是你们未来人生的起点，也谢谢你们给父母留下了这美好的回忆。不求你们鲜衣怒马，希望你们归来依旧少年。
加油吧，祝你们早日学业有成!
