It was a rather exhausting day to us after walking around
the spacious Western University campus. We learnt from the counsellors that
there is an array of clubs in the university. After the long walk, we went back
to the Brescia campus and had a circuit session, in which we practised numerous
types of moves. Such training does require much endurance and perseverance.
At night, we watched an inspiring movie about the
importance of willpower but not individual glory amidst difficulties and
struggles. It is essential for us to follow our dreams despite the obstacles
lying ahead.

We started our
second day in Canada with a lesson on personal leadership, which means leading
ourselves inside out. Only if we understand our own personalities and
potentials well can we understand the values of others and become caring and
responsible leaders in life. Also, we had a leisurely stroll around the huge
campus of the Western University.
After the walk,
we had a fitness circuit, which was taxing but still good for our health. At
night we watched a movie called “Hidden Figures” to relax ourselves. Despite it
being an exhausting day, we have learnt a lot from our experience.

The
most impressive part of the day was the tour around the campus of the Western
University and having a picnic there. During our walk, we had a glimpse of a
variety of school buildings of various faculties. We were amazed by the
stunning architecture with most of the design being unique and gothic.
After the awe-inspiring visit, we enjoyed our delicious lunch under the shade of trees. We relished the precious moments during our picnic because we do not always have the opportunity to spend time in the nature.

It is our second day at Brescia and my favorite part of the day is the campus tour, since
we visited glamorous halls and buildings in the university. I am more cognizant
of the huge difference in campus life between Canada and Hong Kong, take the
much larger space and the greater variety of facilities here. I have started to
appreciate school life in Canada.
The lesson today focuses on personal
leadership, which is leading “inside out”. We learnt to be more aware of our
strengths and weaknesses in order to lead others better. We also discussed how
to plan and prioritise. It was an incredibly rewarding day.

It was our second day in Canada, and we began to settle
better into the new environment.
We learnt to prioritise better after our lecture on
knowing ourselves better, and also discovered our love language. All our
members share one love language, and through that lesson we've learnt something
truly valuable, as we now know how to help each other in their times of need.
The 'I Am' craft and the icebreaker games also allowed us
to know each other better. We felt more relaxed and energized after the campus
tour, fitness class and movie screening. We were so happy because we have more
free time and can engage in a variety of activities here. The pace of life here
seems slower and more relaxing. It was a fun and informative day.

In the morning, we toured around the Western University
campus. We were amazed by the many spectacular buildings in such a huge campus.
Compared to Hong Kong, there are a lot more blocks for different faculties,
such as science and art. The building designs are also contemporary and
innovative. Our favourite part of the Western University is the Community
Centre which contains a movie theatre, dental clinic and grocery stores, etc
providing comprehensive support services for students!
In the afternoon, we attended a one-hour fitness class
conducted by a yoga instructor. Although it was exhausting, we gained a lot and
learnt the importance of perseverance. We felt so refreshed and amazed after
this short workout session because we got the chance to do some stretching and
burn some calories. We wish we could do these exercises every day to keep our bodies fit and healthy.

It is the 2nd day of our tour.
We visited different buildings and took photos around the enormous campus in
the morning. Although the hot weather made us sweat a lot, it was a great
experience to look at the spectacular view here. We also enjoyed a picnic lunch
in a natural environment which is full of trees and flowers. It was definitely
amazing, even the numerous bugs and bees could not bother us! Besides, I have
learnt more about myself after the lecture and making the 'I AM' craft. In the
evening, we watched the movie 'Hidden Figures' which is about three black women
fighting for equal rights. The acts of the trio deeply impressed me and left me
with a good end of the day.

Day 2 of our Brescia tour was packed with activities. As a continuation of our campus tour yesterday, we had an opportunity to explore the main campus of Western University in the morning. The attractive designs of the main buildings and its environmentally friendly structures made the campus an excellent place for students to study in. The highlight of the tour, however, was our lunch picnic, as it was a rare and memorable experience for us. Our meals prepared by the cafeteria chefs were simply delicious. After lunch, a variety of activities including fitness class and arts and crafts were held in the campus. The movie screening after dinner ended our day on a high note. Even though today was exhausting, it was packed with entertaining and enjoyable activities. We look forward to the activities to come!
