Student Sharing

今天，在書院通識導師的帶領下，我們穿著課程內自己設計的T-恤去行山。之前也爬過山，但都是一路向上，直至登上山頂。然而，這次卻是在迂回起伏的山路上行走，經常走下坡路，但高度在不知不覺中增加。這讓我想起來一句話：當你站在山頂想要爬上前面更高的山峰，就必須先下山，然後從頭開始。向下走不是後退，不是失敗，而是為了向更高點前進而作準備。來到山中一片空地，針對書院通識提出的問題，我們坐下來靜心思考人生，思考我們曾經做過的路和我們所期待的未來 。那些七彩的回憶在我的生命中沉澱下來，充實了我，發展了我，成就了我，也引領著我。而今，我進入了大學，來到了一座新的山峰前，開始我的攀登，更多地認識自己，瞭解世界。在這裡，我將找到自己的位置，深入學習，提升自我，創造價值，並嘗試著去改變世界。我期待著未來，期待所有的陽光和風雨，用飽蘸濃墨的筆去描繪生命的燦爛。

上過書通課後，組友Derek與我一起分享了各自人生變革的過程。最後發現大家原本都是比較懶散的人，直到後來才變得積極起來。

變革是一個漫長的過程。從前我總以為，人生的變革是一下子想通了許多。但親自經歷了之後，就發現那是一個需要不斷反思、醒覺的過程。你知道那是一條沒有盡頭的道路，但仍會很樂意走下去，因為每多走一步，多一個念頭，人生便會變得更有意義，更為豐盛。

很多人都會因所經歷的教育而常與他人比較，其實那是沒有意義的。在與人比較的過程中，自己很容易就會因比較而打亂原有的計劃，令自己的心境不停處於起伏之間，最後無法做好眼前的事。生命，本來就只是頃刻間，想立即改變人生，還是隨波逐流、默默守候，決定權就在自己的手。

The General Education Programme of SHHO College is different. When compared with the other Colleges’ general education programmes, they usually invite celebrities or famous scholars to talk and share. But we are special. Our programme wants students to get out of the classroom, to feel more, to experience more. CGE Camp is an example.  It is a regular wild activity that all freshmen must join. Tasks include setting up tents in the countryside, collecting branches for wild cooking and climbing a mountain.

My most unforgettable part was in the night. All of us sat on the grass, closed our eyes, listened patiently to the words from senior students. That triggered me to reflect on my first 2 months in the university and think about the future self. In the University there was an array of activities and chances. I tried and tried to experience more, but I seldom calmed down and pondered about every single item. Luckily, this wild camp gave me a valuable opportunity to rethink my life.

The years afterwards, I had helped the Programmes as a Teaching Assistant. When I came across the topics discussed in class, such as university life, interpersonal relationship and dreams, I had a different feeling- I experienced some mentioned but also something more. I wanted to share these with freshmen, and that’s why I chose to be the Teaching Assistant for two years.
