Trashion Modeling 2014
Earlier on in the year I had participated in the Trashion tryouts for modeling and was shocked to have been chosen a model for the show. I originally did not intend to attend the tryouts as I was worried about how my peers would evaluate me, but was urged by friends to as I have the confidence ability to do so. The tryouts required me to demonstrate my walk down a makeshift runway and to produce three different poses which were to be photographed. This audition has taught me to be a risk–taker and an open–minded person to try something new even if it is not necessary what I normally do.
Throughout the six months period before the show, I have also learnt to work collaboratively with the designers who I am not very familiar with. Through the many fitting sessions, measurements collection, rehearsals as well as the show, I have met many friends from other ESF and local schools which I usually have little chance to interact with. The actual show was a fun and remarkable experience, leaving behind many unforgettable memories.
The results of the event might actually be more effective and enjoyable than my original style. I feel that this idea can assist me in producing much more remarkable and individual work in the future.

Year 2 Studio Time
During the Fridays of every six months that I have spent with these younger children, I felt that I had a chance to not only express myself in creative ways, but also help these younger children discover their creative skills through various activities which can help them in other subjects such as languages and design. In these sessions, I am responsible for teaching the year two students how to create door hangers out of cardboard paper and marker pens. Through this service, I learnt that it is important to always be an communicator to communicate with the younger children, and also be an inquirer to acquire new skills that can assist others. I have been patient and caring towards the children, creating a fun and relaxing experience for them during each session.

Mental Health Awareness Design Campaign
I participated in the Mental Health Awareness design campaign by creating design for a calendar based on the theme “love” for the mentally disabled patients within our society. I was inspired to participate in this design, as I think that it is important for our community to recognize the increasing amount of mental patients who need our love and care in order to recover. In this design, I mainly used a black and white theme to show the loneliness and the patient's emotions, yet the redness of the heart symbolizes the love that family members can bring into their lives. This activity was designed to raise awareness within the community about the importance of love and care towards mentally disabled patients from family and friends. It has taught me the importance of creativity that we need to use in order to attract the audiences' attention and let them understand the message that we are expressing. On the side is the design have have submitted for this competition. Within this poster, I create my design through technology means, hence displaying that I am able to use a variety of media and creativity to effectively deliver my message.

Mental Health Awareness Group
I have been a member of the RCHK Mental Health Awareness Group during the first half of our school year, using creativity to provide many services for the team. Similarly to the design campaign mentioned above, this group's main aim is to raise awareness for mentally disabled patients, as well as take actions, and donate to necessary organizations through fundraisers and visiting the patients to show our care and support. I have demonstrated my creativity when creating christmas cards, posters, bookmarks and many other small items to sell within the school fair for fundraising, as well as creating homemade cup designs for patients during a visit to their open day. Furthermore, I felt that I have been able to develop my skills as a communicator, by being able to express the main message we are trying to promote through different means and forms. I have also demonstrated my attributes of a caring and enthusiastic member in our society, as I am passionate about helping others with my own abilities.
