Before
Hong Kong
I was born in Canada. I moved to South Korea
with my mother when I was five, and then to
Hong Kong again in 1998. We came Hong Kong again
in 1998. This is my home.

My Mother
My mother is an English teacher in my last
three schools! This has its perks – I always
put my stuff in her room. I could ask her for
money in school. But I could never do anything
wrong in any class, or do badly in a test –
she would find out instantly. A lot of my classmates
would often complain to me if she gave them
a lot of homework. Some friends called me up
in the middle of the night with questions for
her.

Cats
I've always loved cats. I used to have stuffed
cat toys, cat blankets, pillows shaped like
cats, books about cats, cats on my walls, cats
on my clothes… After asking my mother a thousand
times, we got an orange cat around Halloween
– and called her Pumpkin. She has been with
us for nine years.

School
Life
I studied at Renaissance
College in Ma On Shan for the past three
years. It was fun but there were too many exams
at the end. Renaissance College has links with
other schools in Asia. We raised money and went
to paint some classrooms in Cambodia. We did
drama and I was in a few plays, which was a
great experience. I also learnt Mandarin at
school, which is hard.

gave my Mandarin teacher a certificate

Drug Education
KELY Support Group gave a workshop in our school
and I visited the Jockey
Club Drug Info Centre in Admiralty. It's
good for students to know about the harmful
effects of drugs.
What I'll
Miss About Hong Kong
I'm going to university in London soon. I will
definitely miss the transportation system –
the MTR, the overnight buses, the red taxis.
However, I won't miss some minibus drivers!
I will miss the great shops. I will miss sushi
bars that I can actually afford. Of course I
will miss Pumpkin, my friends and my stepdad
Ed. Most of all, I will miss my mother!!!
