卿孝德Ted Ching . 2012-13年度學員

 

It was truly an astonished memory for me in the past three days. I have known Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) since I was in Taichung Second Senior High school (TCSSH) Interact club. It has been quite a long time since the first time I met Rotary. I enjoyed all the terrific talks in every meeting.

 

I also devoted myself in the service project every time I face such as cleaning up the world. That was really a good experience for me that I can use my own strength to help our mother nature.

 

In the past three days, I experienced working with a group of elites, opening my own mind when faced with the people or things I encountered. I adored the two speeches we had on the second day. I was so moved by the story Shen, Hsin-Ling gave us. And I was so surprised that even she is at the age of 23, she can use her own strength to help so many people and donate so much all by herself. She gave me many new ways to face things, always look on the bright side. I am deeply infected by her energetic, positive attitude when facing challenges. I simply can still remember her words, “It would be something when doing easy things for a long time.” which encouraged me a lot. 

 

The speech about how to make a good presentation given by Jeff Wang really gave me a brand new view of presentation and slide making. “Making a presentation is not sending the information but to convince others.” is one of the concepts he gave us which I never thought about it before. I usually need to do reports and presentation at school or toward others. But I have never thought about how to make my talk better and how to prepare for that. His interesting and rich speech looks like taking little effort on it. In fact, that is because he is well prepared and spends much time on it. I also learned much from the course that Smart Orange gave us. They taught such as concentrate and focus are always easy to say it out, but doing it is just another aspect. Through experiencing, they wanted to teach us in person and doing it directly is much deeper branded in my mind.

 

Last but not least, knowing many fantastic people is also one of my biggest harvest during the three days. Even though we didn’t have much time to chat with each other, we still keep in touch through the net after the fabulous three day adventure.
