My name is Ken Chen and it’s the 19^th year of being live in the world! I major in Finance and study in Yuan Ze University. I have an elder brother and lovely parents. My brother always enacts as a consulter when I confront problems. Also, we share interesting experiences or burdens with each other. Without him, my life must be duller than now! I really appreciate what parents have done for me! It’s said that I was difficult to raise before the age of 10 because of illness. I could still remember the eyes of anxious from parents in the daybreak, as they sent me to the hospital. I didn’t know what had happened, but it must be a torment for parents to take care of an ill children. To raise up children is like a journey of adventure. We’ll suffer and be frustrated by their illness、financial burden or something to knock we down. By contrast, it’s also a journey of achievement as children become thoughtful and the pillars of parents. I really appreciate the support from my family! It’s my term to be the pillars of family in the future!

Time to talk about myself! Once I was asked” please choose one animal to describe you ”. In my point of view, I’m like the puppy most! When a puppy contacts with a stranger, it’ll be shy at first. As the doggy realizes the stranger is trustworthy, it’ll plays with him/her gleefully. Also, that’s the person I am! In my leisure time, I like reading、music、movie、baseball games and playing table tennis. Besides, practicing English is my hobbit! It’s interesting to type or speak with friends in English, not only for fun, but also the chances to apply what I’ve learned. This semester I went abroad to Philippines for an international conference. From then on, I’ve experienced the great power of language! People from different countries and cultures so that I could communicate with them only in English. Although delegates from China、Hong Kong or Singapore could understand Chinese, for the respect to other delegates who couldn’t understand it, they still spoke in English. It’s au unforgettable memory in my life! What’s more, I’ve learned new concept about how to improve the world, also, to make lots of friends from Asia-Pacific region! After that, I understand English is not just a tool of communication, but a key to open the gate of the world.

I’m 19 years old, and the story continues. The story will never ends before I give it up. And there’s no way to give it up.

與中會奮鬥的夜晚，抬頭看了電腦桌面：那是GV時拍下的照片，每個人穿著傳統服裝，手拿布袋戲偶，以及牌坊、石獅子、門神、童玩……我們笑的燦爛。該是沉澱心情讀書的時候，回憶卻如同潰堤般氾濫心田……從行前準備開始：不斷向P team請益，也向分會內的人交換意見、補充@ knowledge；為了介紹母國風土民情，在網頁中尋找資料、為學習布袋戲而前往交通大學拜師…...。這是第一次對自己生長的土地有更多的了解；畢竟，有多少大學生會聚在一起討論「如何呈現本國文化」呢？

來談談會議印象深刻的事吧！第一天下午的GV很特別！我經歷過的GV主要由@er參與，但這次場地辦在當地公園，參與GV盛會的主角當然是當地民眾啦！看到本國攤位萬頭鑽動的景象，不枉所有台灣代表們所付出的苦心！(驕傲的說：台灣的佈景是全場做的最好的)由於小弟負責布袋戲偶，親自教當地人民如何操偶、做簡單武打動作，或看著小孩興致勃勃地甩著布袋戲偶；簡單的解說就能感受對方熱切回應，這次的GV有了當地人熱情參與，對雙方而言都是難忘的回憶吧！

會議期間，我們分小組討論各種議題：@2010、Change Agent、PBOX…

與不同國家的人們交換心得、了解他國分會運作狀況、學習團隊溝通技巧。不同的隊友、相異的領導風格、聽不習慣的英文腔調、Party玩太晚而無法集中精神，時時刻刻都有新挑戰。記得和隊友完成PBOX當下的感動，難以言喻；從未想過規劃PBOX，卻在一天內凝聚不同國家的意見而產生！

      AP中最享受的時光，莫過於和各國代表休息＆用餐的時刻吧！話題從@、不同文化間的風俗、了解他們如何平衡課業與AIESEC間的衝突，到香港＆日本人都關心的兩岸關係（當然不是和對岸同胞聊啦）、生活中的瑣碎小事……。很慶幸藉由這次機會和國外分會，甚至總會的人聊天！而令我驚訝的是，大家英文程度都很好，他們也告訴我英文並非他們的母語；大陸人甚至平時都用英文開會，在討論時都能以流利英文侃侃而談。希望@ in Taiwan也能營造讓大家習慣英文環境；英文不好不代表能力不強，但英文能力提昇對競爭力絕對有幫助。

      玩樂、體驗感動的當下，責任的重擔也隨會議一天天過去而沉重。課程內容聽不懂、觀念不清楚，休息時間不忘詢問他人；我要學習新知識，傳給分會成員對@不同角度的視野；我要將新觀念帶回分會，刺激分會成長。參加AP見識good case，讓我了解AIESEC2010”Every day, AIESEC is enabling the development of agents of positive change who create the needed impact in society.” 

不是一句口號，在別的國家真的做到了。如何鼓勵成員、讓他們知道加入@能做的事遠比他們現在看到的還多、相信自己真的能「為社會帶來正面影響」，在會議的最後幾天，不斷思考這些問題。AP並未結束，在會議期間產生或得到的新觀念，希望能再和分會成員詳談 ，將想法付諸實現。
