As a middle school PE teacher, the role is not only to teach physical fitness, football, volleyball, and other sports skills but also to guide learners in improving their physical well-being and developing sports habits. Through physical education classes, we can cultivate learners' exercise habits and inspire their vitality and enthusiasm through sports, allowing them to enjoy the fun of sports while building a love for physical activity and an understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

As a student Advisor, I am a listener, solver, and supporter of learners' academic and social issues. I provide emotional support through communication, encouraging them to face challenges, build confidence, and overcome difficulties.

As the head of the Gold House, I am a disseminator and practitioner of the academy's culture. By planning and organizing various academy activities, I enable learners to fully experience and enjoy the academy's culture. As the head, I also lead by example, embodying the spirit of positivity, health, striving, and challenge, and passing these values on to the learners in the academy.

I am very interested in various sports, including football, as well as music, movies, and travel.

  “I look forward to education gradually achieving dialogue and communication based on equality, where the relationship between teachers and students can be more like friends rather than facing an authority figure. This emphasizes mutual respect, understanding, and trust. By creating an interactive learning environment, we can discuss issues with learners, and inspire each other, which can stimulate the learners' initiative and creativity, and also allow for a better understanding of their needs. Teachers are no longer the authoritative figures of knowledge but become lifelong learning partners for learners. I hope to become such a teacher one day.


  I hope to integrate sports and academics more at Moonshot, using sports activities to enhance learners' teamwork, leadership, and decision-making skills, which are equally important in academic studies. At the same time, I aim to collaborate with teachers from other disciplines to develop interdisciplinary learning projects, allowing learners to acquire interdisciplinary knowledge while solving real-world problems, and incorporating physical education more into project-based learning.”
