Swimming
Throughout this year, my main action participation is swimming, as it is one of my favorite hobbies. This year has not been the best year of my swimming as the amount of training I participate in had decreased due to the amount of schoolwork. Despite my lacking results this year, I have learnt that it is important to be committed and persistent in order to succeed. Strong willpower and initiative is the key to succeeding. I believe that by training more possible will allow me to regain my previous speed. I have participated in many meets and competitions throughout the year both inside and outside of school. In the process of both training and competition, I have met many new friends from different age groups and background which was the most memorable part of swimming this year. I have challenged myself with different activities that I have never done before such as a 800meter open water swim during the January winter season where I demonstrated myself as a risk–taker. Through swimming, I feel that I was able to contribute to the school as I represented the RCHK Black Kites Swimming team for the season one sports. Within, my group mates and me were able to win many awards in both the Hong Kong School Sports Federation Shatin Swimming Competition and the International School Sports Federation Swimming Championship as a part of the Black Kites team. Our most impressive results this year was achieved during ISSFHK where we our Under 20 Girls team won the overall champions for the first time. |

RCHK Rock Climbing Season 2
I joined the season two RCHK rock climbing club this year as I have several years of previous experience in rock climbing and I personally take an interest in the sport. I have also participated in junior level rock climbing competitions in the past. During the season, there were no competitions, but we gathered at the secondary gym climbing walls every Monday afternoon to refine our techniques and enjoy the joy of climbing. I felt that this was an interesting and exciting experience, as it is difficult to find others to climb with in Hong Kong, yet climbing in school has given me an opportunity to interact with others to share my passion for climbing, and also try out new routs to challenge ourselves each week. During this season, I feel that my skills in footwork have improve and I learnt that it is important to be daring yet considerate whilst rock climbing. A good climber will demonstrate the traits of a thinker and a Risk-Taker during the sport.

Terry Fox Run
In November, I have signed up to be one of the runners to participate in the RCHK Terry Fox Run. It was an excellent experience, as I was able to run for a longer distance, which is an activity I enjoy very much, as well as raise money and awareness for these children through our own efforts. The main target of our event is to raise awareness and contribute donations to cancer patients around the world, as well as funds for cancer research through an active and enjoyable way. Although running is not an issue for me, I have not been exercising for a long period of time. Hence, this six kilometers run was quite a large challenge for me to complete. Through this experience, I have learned to be persistent in my believes, and not to give up when facing challenges.

2013 - 2014 RCHK Athletics Carnival
This is the first year I have participated in the RCHK Athletics Carnival due to a foot injury last year, and I had a wonderful and memorable experience with all my friends and schoolmates. I participated in the 200meter run, short-put, long jump as well as the new obstacle challenge. Although I did not win any awards in the events, I have participated to compete for house points in house's name. In the end, Ming won the annual champions yet again with the help of all our participation and persistence in events. Through this event, I have learnt about the importance of team work, as one person's power may not be sufficient,but ten people's power can go a long way in life.
