Student Leader
I did not want my existence in school to be evanescence. I hoped to make an impact and fulfil my high school life with memories that extend beyond the realm of academics. This longing fuelled my desire to run for student council. From assembling the team to tirelessly planning our election campaign, it was an intense period of daily meetings, debate preparation after-school and countless late-night calls.
Our efforts were acknowledged, and we were elected as 2016-2017 student council cabinet, and I became the school’s first female student president.
This experience provided me valuable lessons on how to become a better leader. From this, I was motivated to be more involved with school leaderships from ball hockey captain to head girl. It gives me immense gratification to be able to see the legacy we have left in the school and most importantly to foster the growth of our teammates and group members. My motive to run for leadership positions is not because of the privileges nor about boosting my extracurricular activities. It is the opportunities and challenges that I have gained from these posts: pushing myself to handle multiple responsibilities, challenge my adaptive ability, critical thinking and creativity skills. But most importantly, it allows me to involve in the personal development of other students throughout the challenges they face. This mind-set has invigorated me to seek leadership opportunities and truly offered me incredible opportunities that completed my fruitful high school career.
The beauty of giving
We are fortunate enough to enjoy privileges that many do not, and that is the truth that I realized after my first visit to the orphanage when I was young. I witnessed the children who do not possess the abundant resources that I have – the resources that we often take for granted. Mundane objects such as books have an invaluable worth to those children. So at that tender age, I suggested to my mother that we donate my books to them. Started with my own books, we then reached out to our friends and family and now this small act has expanded to a more significant cause – Love Reading Campaign was founded. Our charity promotes the importance of reading to Thai and Vietnamese orphans, encouraging their academic interests and building bridges between these communities. We collect English books from individuals to institutes. This resource redistribution has not only offered underprivileged children the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of reading but also plants a seed – a seed in their mind that would flourish and form their aspirations and motivations in life.
I think that giving is a beautiful altruistic act: to be able to utilise one’s ability to help others to fulfil their potential. Like Ella Wheeler Wilcox said, I believe that “My life is a brief, brief thing, I am here for a little space. And while I stay I would like, if I may, to brighten and better the place.”[/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]

學生領袖
我不希望我的高中生活僅是圍繞著課本和學術知識，我也不希望我在學校的存在只是曇花一現。我想多參與校內活動，為學校留下貢獻，這促使我去參選學生會。
從組建團隊到每天課後準備辯論，我們孜孜不倦地策劃競選活動。最後，我們的努力得到認可，成功當選為2016-2017學生委員會內閣，而我也成為了校內歷來第一位學生會女會長。
這次經驗讓我學會如何成為一位好的領導者，也推動我參與校內其他領導崗位，例如：女子曲棍球隊隊長和學校總領䄂生。能夠為回饋母校而作出貢獻，並目睹及陪伴學弟妹和隊友成長，皆為我帶來了無比的滿足感。我想成為學生領袖的動機不是為了特權或地位，而是想從這崗位挑戰自我，讓自己學會如何處理責任，挑戰自己的適應力、思維和創造力。但最重要的是，它為我提供一個能協助其他學生發展的機會。
付出
我們有幸能享受許多孩子所不具備的資源，這是我在幼兒園時第一次探訪孤兒院後意識到的真相。一些我們視為平凡，普通不過的東西，如圖畫書，對他們而言卻是奢侈品。那時我十分同情他們，於是向媽媽提議把我的舊書捐給他們。由自己的書開始， 之後我們鼓勵親朋好友加入， 到現在把這行動擴展，建立了一個慈善團體。 我們希望藉此培養泰國及越南的孤兒和貧困兒童對閱讀和學習的興趣。我們也從不同機構收集英文書籍，再分配資源給那些小孩。這些看似微不足道的書本能夠培育他們成長，也給予他們動力 。我認為回饋社會是一個美好的行為—用自身的能力去幫助他人發揮潛能。就如美國詩人—埃拉．惠勒．威爾科克斯所說，我相信「我的人生是一個簡短的東西，一個微小的存在。當我在此時，我想把這個地方變得更加美好。」[/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]
