老師也有學習障礙

我想鼓勵一下有學習障礙的同學，讓他們知道 “You are not alone” 。其實，可能每個人都有不同的障礙，只是有的人很明顯，有的人很會隱藏，有的可能一生都沒涉足那方面的領域，所以沒發現障礙，同樣道理，也可能因而沒找到自己的長處。

教師發展日是在幹什麼的?

很多學生也會問，年中放的教師發展日假期，老師都是去了做什麼? 是不是都在放假? 其實，那天老師是要回學校上課，學下教學法、聽講座、去其他學校參觀交流。很多很多年前也有上減壓課程、學繪畫。

太空種子種植活動

事源有同學去了北京、西安航天科技考察團，所以學校分到一點太空種子。分便是青瓜、青椒和豆角。後來，知道Brother Joe 是種植專家，在Brother Joe 的支援下，便進行了太空種子種植活動。 我自己本身是不懂種植的。之前也有長開種植相關的活動，可是… … 老是種不起來 … … 都是悄悄的死掉了… … 所以，收到珍貴的太空種子，完全不敢用，怕浪費了。所謂的太空種子是上過太空的種子。據說，種出來的收獲比平常的大。

人生是什麼?

好少會寫和工作沒關係的東西。有天發現2017年後已沒怎樣更新工作紀錄，不是因為學生沒比賽，而是因為我的心思重點沒有放在工作上。 從小，媽媽便會叫我讀好書、做好功課，爸爸希望我打好柔道。所以，我有努力讀書，考進香港大學。柔道比賽雖沒認真練習，也是比賽得獎常客。大學畢業啦! 我便按媽媽的願望，找一份穩定的工作。從教中文、數學，到當了電腦科科主任。再在科學比賽上找到工作的動力，到開發了科學研究科。一直都是努力工作，除了交六成以上人工家用外，也沒有很好的照顧家人，反倒是家人在我背後提供無限支持。
