讓夢想更有力量
.
每個人都希望自己能成功，尤其是越有理想目標的孩子，越希望自己可以成為自我人生的領袖，並且贏在生命的起跑點上。
但越是著急，就越容易使人徬徨無助，那麼到底怎樣的生命才算是成功呢？
我認為，要想達成人生的目標，一定要對自己做一個好的人生規劃，除此還要堅持住夢想 ， 相信自己，並且勇往直前才可能達成。

我的夢想是當一名好醫生。4年前，非常疼愛我的爸爸因病去逝，家拿大和台灣的醫生都查不出病因。我在爸爸的病床前答應要好好讀書，以後當一名醫生找出爸爸的病因，但是做一名好醫生不容易，我很害怕自己做不到，更害怕無法完成與父親的約定，無形之中，給了自己非常大的壓力，人生很迷茫汗無助。
.
2017年的暑假，我的母親幫我報名了馬來西亞的「國際青年禪修營」，一開始我心裡有些排斥，覺得禪修營一定很無聊，沒想到這12天的禪修營丰富有趣，又有深度。
.
課程中，金菩提宗師與我們分享了緬甸孩子上課的艱苦環境，貧瘠的生活環境，以及醫療資源的缺乏，使得緬甸人，每年平均1000人中，就有400人因為疾病與營養失衡而導致死亡，我看著紅了眼眶，也因此更堅定了我想成為一名好醫生，我更發願以後要組建醫療團隊去緬甸幫助大家。
.
如果說，當初想當醫生是為了自己對父親的承諾，現在的我，是真心的想當一名好醫生，去幫助更多的人，參加了這次的「國際青年禪修營」之後，讓我對自己的夢想更有信心，我決定現在就開始存錢，明年大一結束就去緬甸！因為，我想只有親自去到了那裡，才能真正體會到當地人們的辛苦，才能保持著慈悲之心，堅持住、並且完成自己醫者這條路。
.
我要感謝在營隊中，認識的每一位小伙伴，謝謝你們陪著我一起學習成長；感謝韓國組伙伴們跨越語言的障礙，跟我做朋友，幫我開闊不少眼界；感謝營長、老師們12天的辛苦付出；更感謝師父您費盡心思的指導，您深入淺出的話語幽默風趣，卻又富含著深意，讓我在上大學前找到了人生的目標和方向！

Empower Your Dreams
Everyone hopes to succeed in life, especially youth with dreams and goals. They wish to become leaders in their own lives and be victorious from the beginning.
However, the more anxious one is, the more irresolute and helpless one becomes. So, what kind of life is considered successful? I feel that to achieve our goals in life, we need a good plan. Be persistent and persevere on towards your goals. Believe in yourself and proceed with courage to realize your dreams.

My dream is to be a good medical doctor. Four years ago, my beloved father passed away from an illness that the Canadian and Taiwanese doctors could not diagnose. I promised my father that I will diligently pursue my studies and become a famous medical doctor to identify his cause of death. I soon realized that it is not easy to become a good medical doctor, and I began to fear that I was unable to keep my promise to my father.
Unknowingly, I started to feel the pressure and felt lost and helpless.
During the summer of 2017, my mother registered me for an International Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp in Malaysia.
Initially, I was doubtful and was very skeptical about this camp, thinking that it must be very boring. To my surprise, it turned out to be fun and rich in content with deep learning.
During the camp, Grandmaster JinBodhi shared with us about the plight of the Myanmar people; lack of educational facilities, poor economic environment, and severe lack of medical care and infrastructure. The lack of public healthcare and basic nutrition has resulted in an average of 40% mortality rate amongst the population. I wept and am determined to be a good doctor so that I can organize medical teams to help the Myanmar people.
Whilst previously I was determined to fulfill my promise to my father to be a good doctor, now I am more determined to be a good doctor to help more people. I feel more confidence to achieve my dream to become a good doctor after the Youth Camp. I decided to start saving to make a trip to Myanmar at the end of my first year at university, so that I can personally experience the plight of the Myanmar people and strengthen my resolve to achieve my dream to be a doctor and be compassionate.
I would like to thank all the members of the Youth Camp for being with me and learnt together. I would also like to especially appreciate our Korean team members who befriended me and widened my horizons despite language barriers. Many thanks to our Youth camp leaders and teachers who worked hard for 12 days. And a very special thank you to Grandmaster JinBodhi for your very thoughtful, humorous and profoundly helpful guidance and teaching that has refocussed my life direction.
