Tai Po Outstanding Youth Election is an annual election organized by\u00a0Hong Kong Young Leaders Development Association, of which nominated candidates have to go through interviews and written tests to be elected as outstanding youth of the district. We are very happy that Gigi Wong is elected as one of the four outstanding youths (Secondary School Section) of Tai Po.<\/div>\n

Last Sunday, the four awardees attended the prize presentation ceremony, at which they were interviewed publicly at Tai Po Market Square. This final interview at the prize presentation ceremony was for choosing the recipient of “Star of the Stars” award among the four Outstanding Youth awardees.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is my honour to be the nominator of Gigi for the election. It is also very encouraging to see Gigi getting through one round after another with her determination and confidence. As her speech about the award given at the morning assembly, you will never know how far you can go unless you give yourself a chance to try.\u00a0I hope all students would be able to identify their own gift and grab hold of every opportunity to shine. I especially hope our S6 students can learn from Gigi’s experience, not to underestimate your ability, work to your fullest \u00a0and let your gifts shine brightly.<\/div>\n

Getting this outstanding youth award and even the Star of the Stars award still seem very unbelievable to me. In the whole process, I was constantly exposed to what I called the biggest fear in my life, (pause) uncertainty.<\/p>\n

I can never forget the first interview which we had to answer questions related to social problems and political situation in HK, in Cantonese, Putonghua and English. I still remember the way I struggled to pronounce words in Putonghua while trying to think of ways to evaluate the performance of the three former Chief Executives of HK. At the same time, I had to constantly remind myself to put my answer in a well-organised, critical but impartial manner. There were people who doubted me, not to mention I doubting myself while competing with strong candidates from different schools in the territory. However, I choose to believe in myself, as I know if I don\u2019t trust myself, there\u2019s no way I can convince others to believe in me.<\/p>\n

Today is the last morning assembly for S6 students. In less than 70 days, we are going to face one of the largest uncertainty to us — DSE. While coping with all the challenges ahead, there may be people who doubt you or question your ability. Before you let the voices of other people blind your own judgement, please remember you will never know how far you can go unless you give yourself a chance by giving your best shot.<\/p>\n

We are all unique individuals. You are the only person who knows what you want the most and nobody knows your talents better than you do. So be brave, identify your goals and go for it. The best gift you can give to the world is to simply to be yourself and shine.<\/p>\n

Local University Degree may not be the next destination for us all. But, at the time being, let\u2019s work our very best for the DSE exams and leave no regret. Shine, for yourself.<\/p>\n
