A nature lover, a movie goer, a reader and an optimist. Birth place----Taipei, Taiwan Birth date----- January 30th, 1962It’s soothing to enjoy a hot cup of tea or listen to a good piece of music. It’s wonderful to get exposed. It’s inspiring to know that day after day I have the chance to grow a better one through various encounters and experiences.

Having been a teacher for almost 25 years, the students never stop making me amazed with their creativity, their potential or their ingenuity. I am convinced that a good education leads to a better tomorrow. As a teacher, life is never in vain whenever anyone of my students leave my classroom braver, stronger , kinder ,more willing to devote and more positive toward everyday living. “Trying and failing are better than not trying at all because growth is the goal and failure is acceptable”
----By Alex and Brett Harris(Writers of the book Do Hard Things)
