Page 31 - 華英中學 第四十五屆畢業典禮

As a Wa Yinger, what makes me proud to this day, is that my alma mater not only nurtures us to excel in academic performances,
but also offers us the best opportunities to grow into an all-round person, which I have benefited from and forever grateful for.

I found it remarkably eye-opening when entrusted by my schoolmates and the school in organising inter-school activities. Unlike
organizing internal school activities, dealing at the inter-school level requires very different skills and capabilities, like addressing
unique concerns from respective schools with sensitivity, appreciating the structures of different student unions to get the job
done, complying with the accounting procedures with regard to financial matters, and the etiquette and rules of engagement
in corresponding with other school representatives. I remember in the Joint School Singing Contest, through negotiations
and compromises we found a creative alternative to our original budget, effectively reducing our stage equipment costs with
assistance from the Wa Ying backstage crew. Such problem-solving skill has prepared me to be adaptive and communicative in
the future work place.
The teacher advisors of Student Union offered me much independence to embark on new initiatives in the inter-school activities.
Such strong backing has made me dare to speak up and offer solutions to the problems with my team independently. During the
process, I could learn to strike the delicate balance between the trust placed in me and the independence
granted on one hand, and the practical concerns from the school when putting our new initiatives in
action, with the timely advice from my teacher advisors. With the responsibilities on my shoulders,
I have learnt to cope with situations with diverse opinions and to calmly carry on in a stressful
environment.

Besides school activities, various external ‘life planning’ activities recommended by my teacher
have also enriched my secondary school life. Speaking of my experience in the MTR “Train
Your Life Journey” camp, in participating in team-building activities like circle-painting and
night-hiking, I gained a fresh perspective on my career planning through honest sharing
with new friends, social workers and staff of the MTR company. Participating in external
activities provides practical tips that further echoes with what I have learnt in Wa Ying, such
as ascribing my strength into my life goals and pursuits, and that have immensely shaped my
future study and career goals.

世界之大，而人是多麼的渺小。

若然你很早就認識她，或許會記得她是個自卑的女孩。那
年，老師的一句話：「我堅信，你是一匹黑馬。」改變了她。
在漆黑的夜空下，女孩一直想著老師的話。她明白了：未來六
年的時光，要過得有價值。

於是，她抓住任何機會，不論是班會或學生會招募都報上姓名，
懷著自信去面試；每次考試，她都會把內容從頭到尾抄寫數遍，把老
師的教導銘記於心。憑藉這份初生牛犢不怕虎的勁，女孩的奮鬥路上都
是一道道大門，引領著她走向更大的世界。

「每一個人都可以改變世界。」她在一次青年論壇聽見了這句話，這句話的每一個字都烙印在她的心中，播下了「無國
界醫生」的種子。中四那年，她縱然是副領袖生長，也決定明年不再競選，反而，加入聯合國兒童基金會，籌辦各項活動，
如模擬世界、聯校青年峰會等，加強人們對世界議題的關注，與志同道合的年輕人一同奔向目標。

自此，她的眼界不再被局限，敞開了心扉與外界接觸。她竟發現了這個世界有如戲劇舞臺：一半是喜劇，一半是悲劇，
於是她許下了諾言：要盡力為世界上每一個人脫離疾病和貧苦，她堅信只要憑著愛心和信心定會闖出一片天。

二零一八年，她被選為「九龍地域高中組傑出學生」，肯定了她過去的付出。

原來，每一個人也不渺小，你看得多遠，能力就有多大。世界的未來，由我和你去創造。我和你都是傑出的。
