5/5 :D :. 3 months ago on Google New
The
first
two
years
of
my
life
in
Hong
Kong's
primary
school
were
nothing
short
of
soul-crushing.
Day
after
day,
I
was
surrounded
by
a
sea
of
hostility,
where
rudeness
and
inconsideration
reigned
supreme.
The
egos
of
those
around
me
towered
above
anything
I
had
ever
encountered,
suffocating
any
semblance
of
compassion
or
empathy
that
might
have
existed.
And
as
if
that
wasn't
enough,
the
teachers,
those
supposed
purveyors
of
knowledge
and
inspiration,
spoke
to
us
with
a
condescending
tone
that
chipped
away
at
our
fragile
self-worth.
In
that
challenging
environment,
I
felt
utterly
useless,
as
though
my
potential
was
fading
away
with
every
passing
day.
But
then,
I
was
swept
away
by
the
winds
of
change
and
found
solace
in
the
embrace
of
dgps.
It
was
here
that
my
perception
of
school
underwent
a
metamorphosis.
Suddenly,
I
was
surrounded
by
unparalleled
warmth
and
genuine
care
from
everyone
I
encountered.
The
teachers,
unlike
their
counterparts
in
Hong
Kong,
saw
past
my
shortcomings
and
made
me
feel
seen,
heard,
and
valued.
In
their
eyes,
I
was
not
a
mere
statistic;
I
was
a
unique
individual
with
untapped
potential
waiting
to
be
unleashed.
I
may
not
have
spent
as
many
years
at
dgps
as
some
of
my
classmates,
but
the
impact
it
had
on
me
was
immeasurable.
While
the
Hong
Kong
primary
school
system
felt
like
a
soulless
prison,
dgps
became
my
sanctuary,
where
my
passion
for
learning
was
reignited.
The
mere
thought
of
skipping
school
never
even
crossed
my
mind
during
my
time
there.
How
could
it,
when
every
day
brought
with
it
the
promise
of
growth,
understanding,
and
a
sense
of
belonging?
Beyond
the
extraordinary
educational
experience,
dgps
gifted
me
with
the
most
precious
of
treasures
-
lifelong
friendships.
Together,
we
weathered
the
challenges
of
academia,
nurtured
each
other's
dreams,
and
built
a
bond
that
transcends
geographic
boundaries.
As
we
venture
down
different
paths,
these
memories
will
forever
remain
etched
in
our
souls,
a
testament
to
the
transformative
power
of
dgps.
In
retrospect,
Hong
Kong
feels
like
a
distant
memory,
a
chapter
I've
finally
closed.
And
yet,
dgps
will
forever
hold
a
special
place
in
my
heart.
It
was
here
that
I
rediscovered
the
joys
of
learning,
where
kindness
ruled
and
egos
were
cast
aside.
This
remarkable
school
not
only
shaped
my
academic
journey
but
also
reminded
me
of
the
beauty
in
human
connection
and
the
profound
impact
compassionate
educators
can
have
on
young
minds.
Forever
grateful,
I
leave
dgps
knowing
that
it
has
prepared
me
for
the
challenges
that
lie
ahead
and
equipped
me
with
the
resilience
necessary
to
navigate
any
storm
that
may
come
my
way.
