It was the first day of our Canada trip. We had a campus
tour and a nature walk. We were fascinated by the vast area of land planted
with all sorts of trees. We also spotted some wild rabbits. At night, we played
different games with our counsellors and got the chance to play with sparklers
which are so beautiful. After this eventful day, all of us know more about each
other and get to know more about leadership. We look forward to the
upcoming events in these two weeks.

With the complexity and symbolic meanings embedded in the
carvings, totem poles are part of the Canadian culture worthy to be admired and
treasured. Therefore, we were really excited that we could design our very own
totem pole, with each of us choosing an animal that represents the qualities we
possess. This helped us to discover our personalities and talents and gradually
develop our leadership skills. Moreover, the counselors took us on a relaxing
nature walk which deeply impressed us as living in Hong Kong, we are always
surrounded by numerous high-rise buildings and there are little chances for us
to get close to nature. It was such a memorable experience!

The most impressive part of today’s program was the
nature walk. We went for a 30-minute walk around the campus which is filled
with trees and a huge variety of plants. At first, we thought that the journey
would be exhausting due to the uneven landscape and tremendous heat. To our
surprise, everything was great, especially the breathtaking scenery. We were
stunned because we don’t often have the chance to get close to nature. Through this activity, we discovered the beauty of the
nature and the importance of protecting our environment. In so doing, we do not
only enhance environmental sustainability but also allow our next generation to
relish the magnificent scenery of the nature.

It was the official first day of our leadership course.
It was packed with a lot of activities. The most impressive ones were the
Nature Walk and the Campfire. We had a walk in the forest where the path was
quite narrow and steep, and I had no idea where we were going to but the guides
kept encouraging us and led us to explore the trail. This reminded me that all
of us has the responsibility to look out for each other as well as the
potential of taking up a leadership role in daily situations. We had great fun
in the evening as we played a variety of campfire games together. All these
precious memories reminded me of the importance of promoting harmony and
cooperation among companions.

Our first day in Canada was fun, exciting and rewarding.
We started off our day with a game called Icebreaker, which through I
familiarised myself with my group members and the counsellors of the tour.
After the game, there was a lesson on leadership. As the
lesson progressed, I began to realise the importance of leadership. Leadership
is not innate in us but rather, it is a quality developed gradually. Leadership
is bringing about a positive influence to others.
The last highlight of the day was having fun with
sparklers and glow sticks at night. It was definitely a rare and unforgettable
experience. The scene of lights gleaming against the dark was truly impeccable.

On our first full day in Canada, the most
memorable event to our group was the nature walk. Compared to the hustle and
bustle of Hong Kong, Canada is a place brimming with opportunities for people
to be in contact with nature.
The lessons about leadership aided us in understanding what leadership truly is. Through the lessons and activities such as the making of a totem pole, we explored more about ourselves and our inner qualities. We took a lot of pictures with sparklers and glow sticks after playing games with each other, which allowed us to form a bond with classmates we are not familiar with. It was quite a tiresome day on the whole, but a day to remember.

It was the first day we spent in Brescia.
There was an opening ceremony in the morning followed by a lesson on
leadership. I have known more about leadership and become more familiar with
those in my home group. Then, we had a tour around the campus of Brescia and I
thought the environment was rather relaxing. The experience of strolling in the
woods, filling our lungs with fresh air was extraordinary, as we seldom go to
the countryside in Hong Kong. We are looking forward to the events ahead!

The diversity of activities on the first day of Girls
Lead was incredible. Not only did we learn about leadership and tour around the
campus, but we also had a relaxing nature walk in the nearby forest and played
lawn games.
We also had the opportunity to get to know our counsellors, who assist us when necessary. Participating in group
activities and games with them strengthens the mutual bond between us, and we
enjoyed our time with them immensely.
The highlight of the day to us was indubitably the
lighting of sparkles in the evening - with this being our first experience of
lighting sparkles, having the chance to experience it with our friends had made
the event all the more memorable. Overall, it was a great start to our 2 week
tour in Brescia, and we cannot wait to see what’s next!
