Student Parliament Experience

@ my high school

Applied to student parliament 3 times during my high school junior and senior years. When I was accepted at the 3rd time, the priminister at 2021 said she and the parliament weightiness my growth since the two rejections, and believe that I will be a good fit in parliament.

I was never discouraged by temporary failure, and always believed that I am capable of picking up the leadership role to make positive changes.

The Title - Screaming Tree

The Fall 2021 parliament had a camping event located in the Squamish area (a first nation group in Canada).

In one of the game, we were asked to pick a tree, cover our eyes, spinning for a while, hold our partners hand, and find the tree again with their help. I purposely lead my partner to hug someone else's partner for fun. My partner screamed as the other person touched him, and the other person asked, "Wow, Screaming Tree?". Everyone laughed continuously for 1 minute.

Later on, "Screaming Tree" became the commonly agreed one, when we were asked to create a team name.

This camping isn't just a league construction event, it taught me a lot of Squamish people and how to respect and appreciate their land. I was currently fighting a pulmonary disease, and my symptom of coughing gradually decreases after three days of living in forest. That's when I had the epiphany that environment is super important.

Meaningful Events

Walk in the forest

To know more about nature and environment, expend knowledge in life science.

"Us humans can survive on other food, so please leave the barriers to other animals."

Set campfire at night

Chopping firewood

Paring sawdust

Lighting a fire with flint stone

Control the fire

Effective extinguishing

"Today we gathered here, in front of this campfire, from all around the world, singing, dancing, holding hands, telling stories. 100 years ago, our ancestor might be gathering at some other place doing the same thing."

Team up by different characteristics

Found my perfect match, the girl standing on my left holding my hands, when teaming up by size of hand.

"Sex, race, and age, was never the only or correct way to categorize people."
