9th Grade Certificate for Manga
Anime is my childhood though I ditched the addiction after high school. However, I believe my interests will not trip me. They will be my power, so I got this certificate, which is comforting to my hobby from the past. Don't get me wrong. I still love to learn about how animes are produced and how keynotes animations were carefully paced, but it was just that the geeky part of me is winning over for the limited time I had in high school. -

Unity Charity Soccer Match
I was one of the chief organizers for this charity soccer match. It was held between the two schools I loved, my current one, and my old one. They are right next to each other, but the students never actually talked to each other because one is loca school and the other international. I was so keen about this match because I knew the stereotype of both schools toward the other. Therefore I wanted to made the match happen and let them enjoy some time together. -

Halloween Geek Party
Though we called it a party, it was really a Arduino starter session. We did tried out some virtual reality horror games and carved some pumpkins, but the most fun part was on the Arduino. I thought it should be super hard before. It turned out wrong; it was just like other intimidating computer language. Once I got the idea behind it, things started to come out of the clouds. -

Hour of Code
I started to explore the amazing characteristics of MIT's App Inventor, so when I received an invitation to Middle School's Hour of Code activity, I chose to teach on it. It does not require knowledge on coding, but surely the course I held was for advanced middle school coders. Surprisingly, one of them actually was familiar with Scratch and algorithm. Also one of them was having an interesting talent in designing and layout. Another girl was extremely capable of finding resource to learn. -

I was so prepared for this!

Perseid Meteor Shower

In the evening I hopped on a car with two students from my previous school, all strangers before. Then after three hours of the drive out of the city, we arrived at a light-free park right beside the sea. That night we saw a total of 25 shooting stars. As a heavily polluted city, it was a precious experience. -

It was a full seven-day hiking in the woods without technology. We were carrying our own food, tent, trash, and cooking devices. Getting water from the river and sleeping with spiders and dripping water every day, we learned to appreciate much more about our daily lives. Jumping and climbing the cliffs made us tighter as a group. Surprisingly, there was no complaint throughout the trip, and I guess it was already the top three best experiences of my life so far. -
