To influence life with life

I believe modern education is not only confined to school hours or within the school boundary. Being one of the youngsters pursuing all-round development, I, on top of attaining academic excellence, also devote myself to diversified extra-curricular activities such as science projects, environmental protection, editorial work of both English and Chinese school almanacs and moral education. Through participation in activities, I have acquired different fields of knowledge that have helped me develop the personality necessary to meet challenges in my future life.

I have a unique passion in music which is also known as the common language all over the world. My active roles in the school orchestra, concert band and woodwind ensembles not only allow me to enjoy the gratification in playing music, but also bring me a lot of valuable opportunities to open my eye to international musical activities including the Washington D.C. International Music Festival and the World Music Contest in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. I enjoy the great chance to meet musicians from different countries and appreciate music of different cultural backgrounds. It broadens my horizons in both musical and cultural aspects. Moreover, as one of the key stones in the school orchestra, it is my duty to lead and guide junior members and pass on the heritage of our music department. I very much treasure the opportunity to enhance my interpersonal and leadership skills, which equip me with essential qualities of a good character, social and technical skills, hopefully making me into a leader in society.

Furthermore, I am keen on serving the community. It allows me to display the quality of ‘to serve before to lead’. My service targets cover different walks of life, such as organizing workshops for the underprivileged children, visiting elderly living alone, raising fund for Orbis by organizing bazaars, participating in activities with the elderly who are suffering from chronic diseases and serving as volunteer at Queen Mary Hospital to spread love and grace in society. There is a Chinese saying that goes “it is more blessed to give than to receive”. Through joining different varieties of community services, I deeply appreciate that I am a lucky one who is able to offer help to others.

My determination to serve the community derives from my personal suffering from a severe immune disease when I was 10 years old. During the summer holidays, I was hospitalized for 7 days in Queen Mary Hospital. I could hardly imagine why the urine was purple and the skin was full of small bruise-like markings. Under completely unfamiliar conditions in an unacquainted environment, I was worried and desperate. At that time, I experienced how touched and sentimental a person would be if someone helped and cared about you when you were helpless. This unforgettable experience has shaped my determination to become a medical practitioner in the fields of Immunology so that I can stand side by side of helpless patients to give them support, care and hope when they are desperate.

The above bitter experience enlightens me with the motivation and meaning for life. Life is never about how much one can achieve and take from the world, rather it is about how much one can devote to society. I realize there is a long way full of challenges ahead of me. I will try my utmost effort to share my blessings to as many people as I can, with my words, my music and my action.[/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]

大難不死，廣傳祝福

作為一個追求全面發展的中學生，我認為現代教育不應止於書本或學校。我積極投入各種音樂活動及社會義務工作，希望做到以生命影響生命，為別人送上祝福。

為了達致多元化發展，我積極參與各項課外活動，藉以培養個人責任感、自信心及領導才能。通過擔任各領袖崗位，我領導同學為校內學生安排多元化的課外活動。我亦協助聯絡投稿學生及校對文稿，從而獲益不淺。這些寶貴經驗使我的待人接物技巧更周全，處事態度更加成熟，進而加強我的領導才能，使我有能力面對將來的挑戰。作為學生楷模，我亦樂於協助老師舉辦德育活動，加強同學們的品德教育。

我天賦聽覺靈敏，自小熱愛音樂，曾參加各個本地及國際音樂比賽。通過參加音樂大賽，我有機會接觸到來自世界各地的參賽者，體會不同的文化、欣賞不同的樂風，令我增廣見聞。作為樂團的領導之一，我肩負承傳學校卓越音樂傳統的責任。我亦曾參與在香港舉行的「聯合國國際和平日」演出，透過音樂宣揚和平。這樂團的其中一個目的是通過音樂促進和平文化，我希望能藉着音樂才能為其他人送上祝福，通過這種世界語言，令社區更和諧。

我服務他人的熱忱萌芽於一場重病。十歲時，我突然患了嚴重的免疫系統疾病。在留院期間，我因着醫護人員的愛與關懐而深受感動，我體會到這對一個絕望的人是何等鼓舞！既然我可以繼續活下去，我便應把這種對別人的關愛發揚下去。

我亦是校內「社會服務小組」的中堅份子，經常參與籌辦不同類型的社區服務活動，包括為基層小朋友舉辦工作坊、探訪獨居長者、為有需要人士翻新鐵閘、探訪智障或肢體傷殘人士、舉辦活動為奧比斯籌款、參與為年老心臟病患者舉辦的活動、為中學生舉辦英語工作坊、夜訪劏房户、到瑪麗醫院及惜食堂擔任義工等等。我堅信「施比受更有福」，希望用愛與熱忱去服務社會。義務工作最大的回報就是從服務對象的臉上看到笑容，尤其是孩子的笑容，更能予人無比的動力，延續幫助別人的熱誠，這令我感到幸福！我將會朝着清晰的目標服務社會，為更多人送上祝福。[/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]
