[E]xperience

2nd generation Christian family

Presbyterian Church in Taiwan prosperous church

I grew up in church and both of my parents are heavily involved, so I had chance participating/ help out at church communities since I was little until I came to Montreal.

Youth group ( teenage 6 years I was involved in youth group, in charge of entertainment, book keeping, team leader)
Sunday school teacher ( for 2 years),
choir members ( 6+ years)
Church music school teacher’s assistance ( 3+ years)
Summer Camp teacher ( 2 years)
Summer Camp teacher’s assistance ( 6+ years)
Sunday lunch after service ( 8+ years), my mom is part of food preparation team responsible for Saturday evening ( food for kids & youth group) and Sunday snack or lunch after service.

Church food serving. Helping my mom preparing food for different group size could be challenging but also rewarding when seeing people enjoy the food

I enjoy singing in church, no matter choir, worship team, or Sunday school song teaching to kids, these are important memories that keep bringing me back to church. When feeling down, different songs would come to my mind to comfort and encourage me.

My parents used to help out church senior group before they became senior themselves, so, growing up, I also spend quite a lot of time sitting in senior group events. I remember many of them like to tell stories of old time to me and I always find myself learning a lot by simply listening.

Criticism of religion. My parents are first generation Christian family, growing up my relatives used to joke or criticize us betraying family religion which was Taoism. I learn to show more understanding toward others with different religious background.

I was bullied at school because my plus size. Children, especially teenagers could be very cruel without much of good reasons.
I used to be so afraid of boys, because boys at school tended to throw things at me to make fun at my size.

Now I can better preparing myself to face my fear by eliminating unnecessary noise, and at the same time show more compassion to people who don’t yet realize his/her own potential.

My parents are always energetic, their lives are extremely busy for works and church, and others… there’s rarely moment of selfcare time.

I learned my enthusiastic from them where I tend to take in so much responsibility overly exhausted myself forgetting to give time to recharge.

Work life balance is important, especially I have my little ones to think of.
although I still desire to do more, reality is that I need to carefully evaluate my capability without sacrificing my duty of being presents for my little ones .
