She has always believed that the healing power of storytelling can be felt by both the storyteller and the listener. She met youth and families who taught her the power of positivity and resiliency which she passes to those she encounters.

我尝试了很多同龄人未必有机会做的事情，并且从我身边的工作人员和哥哥姐姐们中，我学到了许多新鲜事。我从一个内向以及不善于表达的人到勇敢完成一些我不擅长的事情和任务，都是Across U-hub 群体给了我勇气。

多年以後，經過無數的挫敗和考驗，終於開始明白「夢想」的意義和價值。也許夢想就是對自己天賦的一種回應，對自我潛能的一種追求，是最廉價，也是最昂貴的滿足。

Although I can’t say I am now the most caring and expressive person, those who knew me from before can testify to my gradual transformation for the better.

I am still on my way of exploration, but, through Across, I hope I can learn more about the society we are in right now and the people around us, and tell people about it.

I gained tons of knowledge about the various events through talking to different people, as well as photography-specific knowledge, since every event had different environmental settings and I needed to adapt to them accordingly.

As we laughed through the tasks together and opened up at heart-to-heart sharing sessions, I realized that there was actually so much that I could learn from them, despite our differences in background and age.

Many hours of meetings and planning led to a successful camp and my internship ended with a bittersweet feeling. I am so thankful for this opportunity, as the staff and volunteers at Across have become my friends and family!

I am proud to say that I have greatly improved in my “soft” skills and outlook in life, and have gained new ideas and perspectives as compared to before I joined Across.
