【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering

.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學，大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯，來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發，來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。

我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢？我小時候非常喜歡看武打片，然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影，主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫，所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文，到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人，她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師，她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課，我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時，我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時，我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學，那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校：臺灣大學之後，我感到雀躍不已，因為我既可以繼續學習中文，也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中，往電腦科學的方向精進自我。

不過老實說，當我回顧大一的時期，我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課，但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同，我其實很害羞，也很害怕舉手提問，我甚至不太敢參與社交，所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家，也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。

但更不幸的是，我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶，做了兩次手術，需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷，不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好，我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD，另外，美國高中的數學太簡單了，來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶，找不到自己的人生方向。後來，我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助，然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說，"Never give up"，雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題，不過，在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後，我下定決心，發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力，認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點，我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱，提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈，也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友，一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團，致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI，可以掃描我們的QR CODE。

最近，由於疫情的緣故，我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係，因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大，以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮，但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後，我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞： "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難，就有能力改變自己，甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的，"心誠則靈，只要你相信，點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.

What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.

But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.

For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

这一次，我挑战了一个比较不一样的角色 ➡️ 那就是演一名"学霸"啦。😹

Am really grateful to be trying a slightly different role from what I've usually been acting as so far , in which I play a "Poly Class Bully a.k.a 同学B" for the Mediacorp Channel U drama《#嘘 / #SHUSH》this time round! 🤫

I just want to thank our Funny Director Tay Ping Hui (Zheng Bin Hui) 郑斌辉
for the guidance & "加戏" once again, and also Oak3 Films + Geraldine for trusting me in this role~ 😻

Glad to be filming with our "Teacher" Dorothy , as well as my "Classmates" Jared Soh Jian Kai 苏健凯 Natalie Chua 蔡佩珊 , Shanice Koh , Kame Hao and Yq Invoker Wong too... 👩‍🎓

#TearsOfJoy #OpenHearts #喜樂之眼淚💧#畢業典禮 #中文如下🌅⠀
This was the most touching graduation ceremony I have ever experienced♥️😭 ⠀
Instead of just handing us the yoga certificates, our dear teachers surprised us one last time💕⠀
After a month of sweat and tears, we finished the last day of training with practicing 108 sun salutation. Everyone was tired and happy, but also a bit sad because it was coming to an end. ⠀
To end this journey beautifully, we made two rows, and everyone of us walked through, one at a time, eyes closed. While slowly walking, all of us had the chance to whisper something into her/his ears. It was so beautiful and so emotional, because we had opened our hearts to each-other. 😌⠀
⠀
It's crazy how so many of us actually have so much love and kindness to give, but we rarely say things out loud, because we are afraid to be judged or rejected 💔👐🏽⠀
I really hope in future I can share the same loving energy with my students as we have done here!

This day, we all ended up crying out of joy & gratefulness. 🧡⠀
Thank you @allyogatraining , especially @david_yogasana @selineabroad and @happynfitlife , and ALL my fellow classmates and friends ♥️ You ALL made this journey a very special one..! 💓
～～～～～⠀
這是我經歷過的最感人的畢業典禮 ♥️😭⠀
我們親愛的老師們不僅給我們頒發了證書，還送給我們最後一次驚喜💕⠀
經過一個月的汗水和眼淚，我們最後一天練了108次拜日式，每個人都感到累和快樂，但也因為課程結束而感到一點難過。⠀
為了美好地結束這一個月的旅程，我們所有人排成了兩排，然後每個人，一個一個，雙眼緊閉，慢慢走過去領證書。在緩慢行走的過程中，我們所有人都有機會在她/他的耳朵裡竊竊私語。這個典禮能如此美麗和令人激動，是因為我們彼此開放了我們的心。⠀
⠀
事實是，我們世界當中其實有這麼多人實際上擁有如此之多的愛心和奉獻的精神，但我們很少大聲說出這些感人的話，因為我們害怕被審判或拒絕💔⠀
⠀
我真的希望將來我能和我的學生們分享我這個遊程中感收的愛心。💛⠀
這一天，我們所有人都因喜悅和感恩而哭泣。👐🏽⠀
謝謝 @allyogatraining 尤其是 @david_yogasana @selineabroad @happynfitlife ☺️⠀

Hi my name is Janet Lee and here's my short video to hopefully give you guys a better idea of my teaching experience as well as my teaching approach.
各位朋友你們好，我叫JANET 希望可以透過這部2分多鐘的介紹短片，讓您了解我的英語教學經驗及我的教學方法。

My teaching journey first began in high school when I was helping my own grandparents pass their US citizenship test.
我的首次教學經驗是我在美國讀高中的時候開始，當時為了幫助我的祖父母通過美國公民考試。

For this I downloaded materials online, I was creating lesson plans and also was doing a lot of recordings explaining everything in both English and Chinese.
為協助他們更容易通過公民考式，我在網路上搜集整理了資料，並且創建了一套適合他們學習的課程規劃。並且耐心的用英語及中文解釋一切。

From here, they ended up spreading a lot of the curriculum I was making for them to their own friends and so naturally I began leading a class.
自此爾後我的祖父母也將這套適合華人學習的英語教程分享傳遞給他們的朋友，所以我自然而然的開始帶領他們學習英語。

This lasted for two years and this is where I really truly fell in love with teaching.
這教學經歷持續了有兩年之久，這也是我愛上教學的原因所在。

Another large classroom experience when I had was for my uncle's university, Sichuan Normal University.
另外一個大型的英語教程專案是我叔叔曾就讀的四中師範大學。

Here they had a yearly community service event where they had one student from each discipline go to a very large high school in a much less privileged area.
在這裏，他們每年都會舉辦社區服務，讓每個學科的一名學生去比較資源匱乏的社區進行公益教學服務。

I taught English and also again I really truly felt like I was making a real impact. It was a life-changing experience for me.
而我負責的教程就是英語，這次的經歷讓我印象深刻，我感覺得我發揮正向的影響力同時也改變了我的生命經歷。

Other than that, most of my teaching and tutoring has just been for my classmates as well as my two younger siblings and their friends as well.
除此之外，我大部份是協助我的同學以及弟弟和他們的同學做教學輔導。

This I genuinely just enjoyed doing because I liked helping others.
我非常的喜歡教學，因為我喜歡幫助別人學習成長。

Since I began my finance job, which is my most recent job experience, I really haven't had the free time to do this anymore or things I used to enjoy, but I quit two months ago.
自從我開始從事財務工程相關工程(這是最近年來的工作經歷)以來，我就比較沒有空閒時間去做這件事或者我過去喜歡的事情，近二個月就就辭去了那份財務工程的工作。


Now I have been learning again through online classes and learning digital design from mentors, as well as teaching again at Sunday school to first graders.
現在我透過線上課程與導師再次學習有關數位設計的課程，並在假日學校向一年級的學弟學妹做教學。

This will last up until I move back to Taipei in September where I'll be helping my dad with his own small business, continue learning on my own time and hopefully also be able to tutor.
這將持續到我九月搬回台北，我會協助幫忙我父親的小型企業，並持續學習並希望能夠成為一名英語教學者。

As for my teaching approach I really believe in a flipped classroom experience.
關於我的教學方法，我真的通相信翻轉課堂體驗。

This would be where the student is also teaching the teacher as well.
這也是學生在教老師。中文叫「教學相長」

I love this because I think I love interacting with people and I love seeing students interact with each other.
我喜歡這種互動教學方式，同時我也喜歡與人交流，也喜歡看到學生間互相討論交流。
This would be through group work, presentations and games. Basically it's not just one person talking and the other person listening.
這會將透過團體活動，像簡報發表又像遊戲般的方式，基本上像傳統的英語教學方式一個人獨白演講。

This would apply the same way even with one-on-one tutoring I would make sure the student is speaking back to me, so that I know they're also learning and have feedback as well.
即便是一對一的英語教學我會會採用相同的方式，讓課程更生動，讓學生能回饋交談英語，這樣更有助於英語學習並從中得到樂趣及反饋。
