“Faith.”
The word itself is powerful, carrying the virtue of absolute trust and confidence in oneself. However, growing up, I was undeniably the least confident child. Unable to live up to my name, I doubted my own abilities, and was often driven by the fear of lagging behind. This lack of faith in myself has fortuitously shaped me into a person who finds great comfort and joy through service. I enjoy helping others over excelling as an individual. I find life’s meaning in benefiting those around me through what I do, and enjoy seeing others succeed through my help.
Music and long-distance running were what helped me recognize my abilities through the difficult journey of self-discovery as I grew up, shaping me into the person I am today.
Music ultimately signposted my way of life. It has helped me express my emotions since a very young age, as I have been deeply drawn to the magical feeling music brings since then. Under a culture where learning an instrument is considered mandatory for every child, I realised that I do not learn violin and piano for achievements, but to fulfill my deep yearning to spread joy through sharing what I love. Last year, I was given the opportunity to coach an amateur string orchestra formed by 30 children living in Tin Shui Wai. Everything started from scratch, and it was an ecstatic journey to witness children learn and play an instrument in just two months. Being the choir chairlady and music prefect have trained up my confidence through leadership. Choral music, and the people I meet along the journey never fail to leave me in utter amazement. Over the years, I began to realise that making music is not about winning a competition, but it is about the rapport you gain during the process, and spreading the joy and love music brings to people around you, the community, or even the world.
On the other hand, long-distance running has taught me the importance of perseverance and resilience. I was beginning to get used to uplifting others and looking down upon myself until my father encouraged me to train with him, which led me to discover my potential through hectic long-distance running training. As I ran alongside my father for kilometer after kilometre, I realised I can achieve so much more than I have ever imagined. Though the winding road may seem endless, I have realised that as long as you trust yourself, and do not quit carrying yourself forward, one day you will eventually reach the finishing line. Do not stop believing in yourself, even in the worst circumstances.
Lastly, I want to end by expressing heartfelt gratitude towards my principal, Mrs Lau, for her unwavering guidance throughout my secondary school years, nurturing me into the person I am today. I would also like to dedicate this Award to teachers, friends and most importantly, my parents, for their support and love throughout these years. I promise to fully utilise my abilities in the future to help those in need in our society, and to teach them to have faith and confidence in themselves: if they believe in their own abilities, they too, can all be outstanding in their own way.[/vc_column_text][tek_button button_text=”Back” button_style=”tt_primary_button” button_color_scheme=”btn_primary_color” button_hover_state=”” button_icon_bool=”no” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2F159.89.198.89%2Fyoutharch-web%2Fpast-awardees%2F|||” button_position=”button-center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

在這十七年的成長過程中，我除謹記小時候父母教導要謙遜待人外，亦發現自己從幫助別人的過程中找到最大的快樂。我享受與別人一起突破界限和進步，對我而言，人生的價值建基於自己與別人的互動有否對人帶來影響，即使我做的事再微不足道，我也希望能在別人心裏泛起絲絲暖意。
我熱衷於音樂及長跑。音樂，是我人生中不可或缺的一部分，亦是我快樂的根源。除了熱愛拉小提琴和彈鋼琴，我自小參加兒童合唱團，特別喜歡與團員一起唱出能感動觀眾的音樂，帶出其中的精髓。久而久之，我學會了做事細膩及持之以恆的重要，亦傳授了我做人處事的正確態度，更為我中學生涯帶來難以言喻的歡樂。縱使帶領合唱團比賽已事隔一年，但與各團員在台上的每一刻依然歷歷在目，想起當晚的歌聲仍令我心底有所悸動。我相信音樂有治癒心靈的能力，盼望我所彈奏或歌唱的音樂，能感染身邊更多的人。
長跑，有人說就像人生一樣——在疲勞奔波中似乎看不見終點。但其實只要持之以恆，加上身旁有支持著自己的人，又有什麼是我們不能克服的呢？為越野比賽及馬拉松的練習，鍛煉了我堅毅不屈的性格。小時候，遇到困難的第一個念頭就是放棄。我不願尋求出路，又質疑自己的能力，因此往往未能達成目標。直到與父親一起養成跑步的習慣，才逐漸發現自己的能力遠超於本來所想像。與父親跑過一個又一個的山嶺，內心經歷一次又一次的掙扎，但只要堅持、不放棄，最終總能把自己帶到終點。我慶幸生命中有很多在身旁為我打氣、與我相伴的人，感謝他們一直的鼓勵和支持，幸得他們一路上的陪伴，我才能成為今天的自己。
最後，我希望在此感謝劉校長的提名、學校的栽培，以及父母、老師的支持，令我在中學的最後一年，有幸獲選成為香港傑出學生選舉的得獎者，除了能作為對我往日付出的肯定，更能作為我日後做事的指引，讓我時刻提醒自己，「傑出就是付出」。隨著中學生涯快將落幕，我會善用餘下的日子，在公開試前好好裝備自己，好讓日後能有機會用自己的知識及能力回饋社會，協助更多人突破自身或環境的限制，在人生的旅途上振翅高飛。[/vc_column_text][tek_button button_text=”返回” button_style=”tt_primary_button” button_color_scheme=”btn_primary_color” button_hover_state=”” button_icon_bool=”no” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2F159.89.198.89%2Fyoutharch-web%2Fzh-hant%2Fpast-awardees%2F|||” button_position=”button-center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
