College Captains

Lisa Lin (College Captain)

2017 is an exhilarating year for all of us, as a representative of the whole school I am indubitably looking forward to meeting new members of our College, learning the name of students and staffs within our community and having more interaction with everyone. As leaders before me have done, I would like to become a bridge between all my fellow peers of the school and the our amiable teachers; a school would not be school without its unique students and teachers. Hence, I am aiming to continue to work on the school assemblies to further celebrate the successes of my peers and continue to evolve such and generate the energetic vibe. Meanwhile, I would love to hear all the comments people do have, together we can work on innovation and enhancing the school culture, which becomes a legacy we shall leave behind.

Who is a leader that you admire and why do you admire them?
There are so many leaders in the world which are working on innovation for the good of the world, the country, community, friends, a stranger in predicament a or injured animals perhaps. It is not easy to identify individuals in comparison to all those leaders out there who may be known or not known by public, by you or by me. However, some leaders I do recall have said merely one sentence, have become a great mental support for me, greatest influence on me and valuable life lesson I have learnt. I would like to share these: 
Nelson Mandela: “All people are equal and therefore deserving of basic respect and dignity.”
 It seems to be a common sense thing and because it is so simple people tend to ignore. We naturally hold a bias stand upon other people, it is only when we do put down the coloured glasses that your will be granted the deserving respect and dignity.
Marilyn Monroe: “Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together.”
Life is like a roller coaster, we have ups and downs, it is important to realise after the storm comes sunshine.
Winston Churchill: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
When everything peaks out in life, change the angle of yours and sees negative as an opportunity to become a better man.

What are some of your goals for the future?
My goal is to make the most out of high school for everyone. I would like to pass on the message that everyone is as important as anyone else within the community. Inspiring them to see their potential to stand up for their belief and make a change that would become their legacy. When I have graduated from high school I would like to continue on my committed with community service despite the work load as I am responsible for these duty as a member of the community. 

Final message
Never be afraid to be different.
