My Days in WSC
The Old stories are still vivid
I remember when I chose my secondary school, the spaciousness of the campus struck me just right. My parents also thought that I could make some special memories in every corner of this spacious campus. Interesting stories like having basketballs thrown to the woods behind the courts, enjoying the night view of the campus after supplementary classes and accidentally spilling pungent chemicals in the lab are still on my mind. Among those, the most memorable part is the time we prepared for the HKDSE. We were the "pioneer" of the pandemic, mock exams were canceled halfway and the "last day" was gone. It was like everything was fast-forwarded and lots of precious moments were skipped. Suddenly, all we could do was to stay at home and study on our own. Fortunately, the school understood our worries and effectively established an online platform to provide guidance and assistance to us. Teachers from all subjects provided Zoom lectures at the expense of their spare time, just to make sure we were well-prepared. I was so thankful to my Physics, Chemistry, and Biology teachers, namely Mr. Yam, Ms. Law, and Mr. Tse, who took care of all the strange and sometimes dumb questions I posted on the Moodle forum. Their patience and detailed reply made me have a broader understanding of the unfamiliar parts.
Opportunities at Wong Shiu Chi
It was so encouraging that Wong Shiu Chi kept providing a great variety of opportunities to students with different strengths. There were five different service teams and there were no restrictions on participation, so I had joined three of them. Among them, the Students' Association was the most rewarding one. Working on proposals with the committee member and discussing various probabilities with teachers, I learned a lot about running different activities and the role of the Students' Association. I also noticed some loopholes in the Constitution and I tried to revise it, aiming to refine the SA's structure and role on one hand, and encouraging more junior schoolmates to take part in this great service team on the other hand. Apart from the service teams, Wong Shiu Chi provided a couple of career-related opportunities, making me plan to pursue a research career. The International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) competition and its training course in S3 dug out my curiosity and passion for science; the medical genetics summer course funded by Wong Shiu Chi in S5 furthered established my interest in molecular biology, not to mention the countless workshops and group competitions launched by the school. All these drew my future path bit by bit.
Building "I"
Not only does Wong Shiu Chi focus on academic development, it also helps with students' personal development. In recent years, the cultures of our community are changing fast. The overflowing information may make the young generation feel lost. To hold on, having strong personal uniqueness is the key. The great variety of opportunities given by Wong Shiu Chi leads students to search for their potential and personal uniqueness. In my story, the greatest blessing in Wong Shiu Chi is to meet Mr. Yam Yee Kin, my Physics teacher who also inspires me a lot. After class, he always shared his very different but interesting thoughts, which made me reflect on myself and re-shape my point of view. It is like outlining the concept of "I" bit by bit, so I can always ponder on issues with a different and effective perspective. The most memorable line from him was "Medicine is, in fact, application biology". This brought me inspiration on choosing between Medicine and Science for my bachelor's degree. This also makes me reflect on the relationship between science and technology. When asked "why science" now, I always reply with "Technology builds things but science opens up wasteland".
Epilogue
Without Wong Shiu Chi, I must not have become what I am today. I cannot be more thankful to my alma mater. I hope I can return to Wong Shiu Chi to continue the lovely memories some days.
我在王肇枝的美好回憶
離開母校將近兩年，儘管大學生活多姿多彩，但在王肇枝的點滴趣事仍佔心中一席位，叫人難以忘懷。幸獲校方邀請撰文分享，回顧青澀的青春往時，別有一番滋味。
往事點滴仍歷歷在目
還記得在小六選校的時候，王肇枝寬敞的校園成為吸引我們的一大特點。校園每一個角落都讓我憶起大大小小的趣事。球賽時把籃球飛至運動場外老遠的後山、因補課至入夜而看到暮色籠罩的校園、實驗室中意外泄漏刺鼻化學氣體…… 相信再回母校走一趟的話，每一個角落都能喚起一段段趣事。其中，中六公開試的回憶最教我心存感恩。我們這一屆是「疫情小先鋒」，校內模擬試突然腰斬、原定的最後上課天亦無從抓住，只餘下各人獨自在家中苦讀的時光。可幸的是，校方深知我們的焦慮，很快便設立了一系列的網上支援平台，不少老師都利用私人時間與我們於網課中一同備戰。尤其感激物理科任義建老師、化學科羅嘉慧老師與生物科謝仲衡老師，疫情中他們於網上討論區應付我各種奇怪的提問，有賴各位恩師，我才可以在公開試中充分發揮，取得理想成績。
王肇枝給我的機遇
母校另一個優良的作風是提供多元機遇，鼓勵學生多參與課外活動。公職而言，最使我深刻的當然是學生會一職，與幹事們撰寫計劃書，再與負責老師商討各種的可行方法。學生會一職使我更了解學校在籌辦活動上的行政運作，也讓我萌生了修改學生會章的想法。終於在下一學年時完成修憲，改善了當中的不足之處，亦在學弟妹心中確立了學生會的功能及地位。公職以外，校方仍提供了各種機遇，使我決定了投身科研的生涯。中三時的初中科學奧林匹克比賽和及後的培訓課程均大大加強了我對理科的興趣；中五暑假由校方資助的醫療基因課程更是點明了我於分子生物學的未來之路，還有高中階段多不勝數的工作坊及小組比賽，都一步一步勾畫出我的未來。我能有如此明確的人生目標，確要感激王肇枝一直提供的各種機會及支援。
王肇枝給我的啟發
近年社會變化多端，要找到自己的定位實在困難。王肇枝給予的種種機遇使不同潛能的學生都能發掘自己的潛能。這也是我最為感恩之事，高中有幸遇到恩師任義建老師。在課餘時間他都會分享有趣的想法，使我不斷反思、重塑自己的思維。這有如一撇一捺地勾畫出獨特的我。任老師令我印象最為深刻的一席話是：「醫學乃應用生物學」，解決了當時我在醫學與理學之間該如何選擇的煩惱。這也啓發了我對科學與科技之間的反思：「科技是建造一棟棟高樓大廈的工程師；科學是開拓一畝畝土地的開荒者。」
結語
一句老話，沒有王肇枝便沒有現在的我。王肇枝於我實在有數不盡的恩情，我亦希望將來能夠略盡綿力提攜學弟妹們，延續王肇枝的優良傳統。
