My secondary education was a wonderful moment in my life. It brought me many memories and experiences as well as widened my scope.

When my Chinese Language teacher asked me to join the Chinese Debate Team, I little knew the event would become a life-time experience. I was very excited about brainstorming with my teammates. I soon developed an interest in thinking about various issues and always contemplated important aspects. It was quite encouraging that I was able to raise novel points. 

My enthusiasm for debate grew. In the following year, I got a chance to be the first speaker of the debate team, a chance that I had longed for. I was very nervous and could only read straight from my script. Unsurprisingly, our team lost the competition and I was very upset. Yet, I learnt a profound lesson and reviewed my performance. I realised success could only be achieved by practice. So I participated in as many competitions as possible so that I could improve my debating skills. 

My effort paid off when I was in Form 5. I was then appointed leader of the school Chinese Debate Team. Although it was quite difficult to keep a balance between my schoolwork and debate, I loved debate so much I committed myself developing and lifting the overall quality of the team. I knew that I could not make the whole team develop rapidly in a short period of time, but I whole-heartedly trusted that I could lay a good foundation of the team and looked forward to its growth. 

The wonderful experience of participating in debate totally changed my thought. It not only improved my speaking and logical thinking. But I realised that, in order to do my bit for society in the future, I need to further my studies in university to broaden and deepen my knowledge, especially of social science or the Chinese Language.
