Newly Arranged嶄新的篇章

In a few days, I have discussed with people from different parts of the world different issues regarding things I have focused on. 在短短的幾天之內，一如往常，和幾個世界不同地點的不同人們，談論服務工作的方方面面。

These have made me extremely sensitive towards things happening around me, particularly those worthy noted, like my colleagues' praises of my "exceptionally well classroom management which ensures the students can truly learn," my "voices forming the recording messages that students cannot forget but to wish to gain more from a larger worldview," or the media report about things taking place all over the world in 2022. 這些使我變得對週遭所發生的事情極度敏銳，像開展著我的神經一般：

像是我的同事們對我在班級控管上的稱許，讓我的學生們能夠確實而有效地學習；

或者他們提及的，學生們想念我的音檔，聽音如見人般，會希望開拓他們的視野；

又或者國際媒體對於這一個年度的重大事件之總整理……等等。

I would like to make things, the people around me, the society, even the world better. I never expect I can go this far. The most surprising part is I am still along the journey, feeling grateful and like I am learning every single moment. 

我想讓自己身邊、社會的、世界裡面的人事物，更加美好的心念，沒有變革；

但我訝異的，是自己竟如此一路走來，亦將如此一路而繼續前行。

而這是個如此令人讚嘆種種奇蹟，感恩種種奇蹟的過程。

For all these, I am more than merry that I will walk into 2023 more fearless, perhaps still foolish, but with more ambition to make things and people even better, just like the newly arranged classroom which has brought nearly every single student of mine such joy. 

有鑑於此，我想，我將以更加燦爛的信念，迎向2023，即始一樣愚蠢，即始一樣過動，相信也會像這場對我而言偌大的實驗-----再度走入小學的課室裡面與學生共處，一樣處處充滿驚喜。

事實上，我的低年級學生們以極為訝異的眼光看著在下課時分的我，與他們一起跳繩和玩手搭肩的嘟嘟火車遊戲……

在充滿感恩的旅程中，在所有最光華與最黑暗的交界之處，讓我輕輕對您說一聲：

新年快樂、來年更好 :)

Happy 2023! Please have a very fulfilled new year ^^

很多我所認識的大朋友、學生們、工作夥伴，常常表達：

「老師妳總在各處人善被人欺，為什麼都不反擊? 為什麼總是不生氣?」

Many of those whom I have known always remark 

"Teacher Hope, you are way too friendly to the others. Many are taking advantage of you when you do not fight back. Why are you never angry towards such people by taking revenge?"

我常想，因為吃虧就是占便宜的關係，此生至此，已經不知占了多少人多少便宜，如此這般，實在足夠。

I tend to trust that things happen for reasons. As long as there are convincing reasons for me to grow from such incidences, I am more than thankful when such opportunities that do not appear in others' lives arise in that of mine. 

所以，仍然滿心歡喜，迎向新年，迎向更多海內外服務工作的可能層面。

For such reasons, I am welcoming my own new year accompanied by so many possibilities of serving more in Taiwan and overseas.
