Student Union
What is Student Union?
Two weeks ago, I heard that no one wanted to be a new president of SU. I did not feel surprise on this news. As I had been one of the members of SU before, I feel there are several points that made people feel confusing of being SU leaders.
1) They may think there are heavy workloads especially on administration.
2) Many people don’t know what is SU, even don’t know why do we have SU
3) The work of SU will affect students’ academic result as well as friendship.
These were the reflection of my dearest friends when I told my decision to be the leader in SU.
However, in reality, I don’t think so.
I gain a lot through participating in different work especially the negotiation skills with SU advisors, the promotion of different activities and administrative work. For me, as a business student, it is very important to do so. I become more mature on dealing with it. Even my presentation skill becomes better and better. Because of the preparation of SU and working in SU, I gain an invaluable friendship. We, Victory (the name that we used in SU election), still have many gathering and all of us are cherishing the experience of being a SU and working together. I must agree working in SU will be a bit harsh. You need to spend extra 2-3 hours to do SU work but if you treat it as a learning task, you will gain a lot. Therefore, if you know how to control the time on studying, I must ensure your academic performance will not be affected.

I am not going to urge anyone to join SU. I must say it is a difficult task but not an impossible task. I agree that the internal system of SU has serious problems that bring the authority and flexibility become limited (but I do not want to comment this point as it relates to SFXC culture).
Moreover, I must say it is difficult to have different activities since there are not so many people to support SU activities. Although I find there are many problems in our SU, I still think it is important to have this organization in school. We are very lucky that we have SU. There are many schools cannot have Student Organization because they do not trust their students will act rationally and work properly. SU likes a farm. We need to cultivate it! As a bridge, as a channel to communicate with school, as a road to upgrade our culture, these are the work I think that SU needs to do. Maybe it is too ideal but it is what I hope I can see in SU in future.

I treat SU as a child. He is now 4 years old. He needs time to grow up but at the stage of growing, he needs people to criticize on his work and even need someone to guide him.

不要問濟記能為你做什麼，要問你能為濟記做什麼

"不要問濟記能為你做什麼，要問你能為濟記做什麼"

這說話很明顯是抄自甘迺迪於62年的說話. 但有人似乎隨意濫用此話. 因為當年的情況與現今濟記絕對不同. 當年美國正值古巴導彈危機, 兼且美蘇隨時爆發核戰,舉國人心惶惶. 不少人恐怕明日核戰造成家破人亡. 甘迺迪此話是為了安撫民心. 現在濟記根本就不是此回事.

而且為濟記貢獻當然可以, 但也不是奉旨的. 因為我們是一個學生, 職責是讀書學習. 要非為濟記貢獻.

"Therefore, if you ARE GOOD ON TIME MANAGEMENT, I ensure your academic performance will not be affected."

我不敢說沒有人不可以, 但根據以往經驗, 濟記學生大部份也很難做到. 只要看看今年中六的RE-EXAM名單, 大部份同學也要RE-EXAM,什至re-exam後仍不過關的還大有人在. 當中除了SU人外, 更有課外活動和社的活躍搞手. 我已沒提到只是成績退步之輩.

當然我不是叫同學死讀書, 但大家要明白課外活動要搞, 但一定要把超過八成時間放在讀書上. 課外活動只可當為閒時娛樂的一途徑. 無錯, 課外活動是一種學習, 但絕不可在老師壓力下要求太高和浪費太多時間. 因為AL的WORKLOAD和部署是要十分長遠的. 特別是會考分數不太高的同學. 而且同學又不是出糧受僱搞活動的.

至於課外活動對入大學有利, 我可寫包單,除了個別學科如社工系外, 其他可謂是99.5% 無用的. 因為人家主要是看會考和AL成績. 即使看, 也寧願看一下您自己寫的自薦信.

至於自薦入大學計劃, 對不起, 這只適用於港隊運動員或代表香港出賽兼獲獎的著名合唱團,樂隊或運動員.
