Motivation: Wounds as a Catalyst, Not a Slogan "Growing up in a remote town and hearing my family's stories—of a grandmother who believed in education and a mother who had to leave school early due to duty—I understood from a young age that 'opportunity' is often a systemic privilege rather than a simple reward for hard work."
Experience: Vertical Consistency—Aligning Purpose with Action "At the age of 14, I translated this conviction into action by founding a non-profit organization dedicated to rural education. By leading volunteer teams and managing strategic projects, I ensured that supporting underprivileged children moved beyond fleeting acts of kindness toward sustainable advocacy."
Goal: A Future Already in Motion "My objective is to evolve our NGO from a passion-driven project reliant on donations into a resilient system of impact. I aim to create institutionalized pathways that provide more children with a genuine 'second chance' at social mobility."
動機|傷口,而非口號
=「我在偏鄉小鎮長大,聽著家族一再說起外婆相信教育、母親卻因為責任提早離開學校,我從小就明白『機會』常常不是努力就有。」
經歷|從動機到行動的縱軸一致性
=「我14歲就把這個信念變成行動,創立偏鄉教育 NGO、帶隊做志工與專案,讓支持弱勢孩童不再只是一次性的善意。」
目標|已在進行中的未來
=「我想把 NGO 從靠捐款撐著的熱血,進化成可長久運作的影響力系統,讓更多孩子真的拿到翻轉階級的第二次機會。」
