HC WORKSHOPS
I was in the IF team led by James and Ida. My role in the team was Purple's leader, and Doreen is my partner. In my group, there are 4 girl and a handsome boy. I was a little bit pressured because all the Year 1 students there seemed intelligent, hardworking, enthusiastic and outstanding. Besides, they speak fluently English. They were interested in HC very much and kept asking about our life in HC. They raised so many questions that I can feel how eager they are to know HC and under HC. When I told them that my life in HC is enriched and colorful, they said how they wish that they could admitted by the HC. I encouraged them, and we changed MSN. In the next days I receive a lot of messages asking about HC and the application of HC. I like to give these year1 students advice, and I hope all of them have a chance to be a member of HC.

TENGO MUCHO ESTRÉS
I remember when I was in year 1, I always started writing a 1000-words paper more than two weeks before the deadline, therefore, I checked and revised it again and again, to ensure that it is a high-qualified assignment. In this sense I can easily get high marks of my paper as well as my exams. But now, the assignments and exams are more and more frequent and difficult, I do not know how to deal with. Sometimes I think the quality of my works reduces, so that it becomes harder to get a good grade. I feel very depressed. I often recall the beautiful days when I was in year 1. May be that is the so-called "growing pain".
See you in the class 2 hours later!

THE VIP PROJECT
Also, Rector Tang is wise when answering our questions. He reflected very quickly and stated his points logically, "firstly...secondly...thirdly...in conclusion...". I hope I can have this communication skills, too. Learning from Rector Tang, I realize that is how a good leader listen to others carefully and patiently, responds wisely and fluently.
In addition, when we asked if he wanted to be a leader since he was a child. Rector Tang said, he never thought about the leader thing, and even now, he does not always realize that he is a leader in the Macau society. What he does is to think about serve the society, which is always the first thing to him. Therefore, in my opinion, a good leader like Rector Tang is not satisfied with his or her privilege, but by how many happiness and help he or she brings to others.
In the end, Rector Tang emphasized that the university students should not just study in the school, but make some contributions to the community and society. Only by this way can a students understand what the society and community need so that to apply what they learnt in class to the practice better.
In conclusion, this is an impressing experience to interview Rector Tang Zhi Jian, I can learn from him as a leader. I have confidence with our VIP project, and we will do much better after talking with Rector Tang.

PREPARING FOR THE BBQ~~^_^
In the class of Wednesday, we celebrated Ray's and Ida's Birthday togather. We sand birthday song and Echo brought caked she made. I never celeberate my friends' birthday in class since I entered the primary school. I feel warm. Even though it was not my birthday, I am so happy to join in this kind of party. Because everyone smiles from his or her heart and wishes them a happy birthday. I believe Ray and Ida will never forget this impressed birthday.
Therefore, I hope my classmates can enjoy the BBQ, and that is the best reward for my work. Also I am thankful that Dr. Udani did not let me work alone. I will work with Christine, Jackon, Albert and Ray. This made the job easier for me. And it is a good chance to cooperate with others. I need this kind of training.
About the BBQ, if anyone has suggestions, please tell me and my friends. I will try my best to prepare a wonderful BBQ for my dear classmates.
By the way, I want to ask does any body know how to add video in my blog? I tried several times but failed...

WORK SHOP IN CHILDREN AND HOT POT
This afternoon, I went to the children house with other volunteers from HC. We have learnt how to get along with children last week, and prepared carefully, so I expected there won't be so much problem to play games with children. However, after this experience, I realize that social work is not a easy job. Getting along children also need patience and ability. At the beginning, we are challenged by those children. When James asked,"do you want to know who we are?", a boy suddenly answered loudly, "No!". And problem came one by one. Some children fight with each other, some are keep running, and some do not want to attend the games. But luckily, we have enough volunteers to keep an eye on them, and finally we organized them to play games.
Fortunately, after some games, children seems accept us, and they are willing to chat with us. I gradully found that they are cute, innocent, active and curious. The thing that excited me most is that they like me playing the piano. They asked me to play "Ballade Pour Adellin" and "Wedding in the Dream". I am happy that they like it. A girl said she also plays the piano, but at first she was too shy to play for me. I encouraged her to play, and she did at last, I told her that she played buautiful song, and she was talented. I hope my encouragment may help her have more confidence, that is what I learned from the HC class.
At the end, in the sharing section, we asked if they enjoyed the activities. A girl's words impressed me very much. She said there were lots of this kind of helping activities before. And they are getting tired of it. They do not want it any more. These words makes me think a lot. We always want to help people, but does people feel they are helped as we expected? Although we can not force them to accept our help, we can bring them happiness as much as I can. Therefore, I think we should not just be satisfied with the only one volunteering work, writing a news release and telling everyone we have done these kind things to kids. We should continue to do so , and I belive that finally, they will accept our help from their heart. Our job is to bring them happiness, not only to satisfy ourself!
After visiting the children's house, there are still more than two hours before the hot pot. So we just go window-shopping. By the way, I find some shops are giving a discount, that's nice!
The hot pot is also exciting. We are the first getting there, so, we eat first. There are also ten year-1 students, wishing them can be one of us next year! We took lots of photos and I have a lot of fun there. Getting together with my classmates outside the class is wonderful. Thanks to Flora and Cathy who organized this hot pot. They are so responsible! Thank them for giving me a wonderful night!
Good night!

ENCOURAGING
This Wednesday in Honours College class, a schoolemate came to our class to share his thinking and experience in the US. He stayed in the US for about 3 years. His outlook is a Chinese, but he behaves like a native American.
After listening to his sharing about his own experience in America and the cultural distinctions between the US and China, I hope I can be well-prepared for the third year's exchange program. Look at him, he is so deliberate and vigorous on the stage. His English is fluent and native speaking. His motion and gesture are cool. These are what I want. It impressed me when he said that students in the US will be active in class and would like to chanllege the teacher. I think there is a big culture difference in China. As he said, Chinese students always sits quietly in class and show great repect to teacher, and so do I. I seldom ask questions in class. But as I am going to the US, I have to rethink this problem. I want to be outstanding in class, thus may be I have to speak out in class. That is the first step. And I feel it is hard to do. Anyway, I will try.

HC 2nd RETREAT
This experience makes me think about what can I do when the reality is worse than expectation. My answer is, if you can't stop it or change it, then just enjoy it! Because if the outside environment or situation can not be adjust to me, then I should adjust to the situation. I think this is the right attitude when we face unexpected situation.
In the afternoon, the rock climing also impressed me deeply. Although I did not climb, I really appreciate those who climbed, no matter whether did they reach the bell. Here I want to mention Albert Fung and Steve, because I learnt something from both of them. It is the first time of Albert to climb the rock, but he reach the bell. Obviously his successful did not all depend on his skill of climbing, the most important thing is his courage and persistence. He told me that when he reached the second ring, his arm hurt a lot, and the third ring made him unable to feel his hands and arms, but his wins with his persistence. His story tells me, courage and persistence is the key to success.
Furthermore, Steve is another mode I should learn from. No matter who was climbing, he shouted loudly to tell him or her which way to go and give him or her courage. He was so generous to give his support to others, and I think it is significant in team coorperation.
In sum, the one day retreat leave a lot of thing to think and share, again I feel my friends in HC are valuable and can teach me a lot.

This Semester is not a Easy One
Tonight I have planned to write the individual essay about leadership because I want to enjoy the break, but I just cannot figure out the first question, "in your own words, what is leadership about?". I am so depressed and have to write it another day. How can I stay optimistic? What is more, my boyfriend have not reply my message yet, which drives me fretting. I know I should cheer up and concentrate on study, but at this moment, I'd better take a shower and go to bed early.
I hope tomorrow will be better!

Passing Pingpong With Chopsticks
I was in the 4th place to pass the pingpong, but I ruined it several times, and then Vicky just put me in the frist place so that I can handle the job well. Therefore I think in a team, there may be someone strong or weak, but they can still do something well for the team. A good leader should be able to find out what is their strength and encourage them to make efforts for the teams. When I lead a group before, for example, doing a project for my course, sometimes I prefered to do the whole things by myself rather than coorperating with other teammates if I thought they were relatively "weak" or not so "resposible" for our grades. After this game, I think I should make some change, may be I should learn how to encourge my teammates to exert theri advantages. I should not leave any of my fellows behind.
The second thing I am think that in a team like this, people shares. I mean during the game, once some of us found a good method to carry the ball, he or she taught others to avoid the falling of the ball. And not only we share experience of carring the ball but also the tool -- the chopsticks, we found those made from bamboo were good for passing ball so that we lent them to others. Again, I understand the significance of sharing and cooperation for a team. Selfish is cancer to a team.
Anyway, the first class of this semester is expressing and I hope I will learn more and think about more about leadership in the future. I love this game~
