在夏威夷大學的演講，是第一次挑戰背靠背講兩場，一場中文、一場英文；一場講台灣的公益需求、一場講安靜是種超能力。
謝謝 Taiwanese American Professionals TAP – Honolulu 的邀請，在異鄉看到這麼多台灣前輩總是感動。
演講完，有位老教授上前給我鼓勵時，我脫口而出「哩瞴甘嫌啦」，沒想到讓他開心了好久。他是語言學教授退休，研究台語，他說這句話用的很漂亮、我講的很道地（不是大家都這樣嗎）。
而超能力那場，讓我體會到原來美國學生的困難也跟台灣學生差不多，「我是內向者，怎樣才能讓我在面試中脫穎而出？」。
前一天晚上只睡三小時，講完只覺得好累，不過真的太開心了。
Gave 2 speeches at University of Hawaii, my first back-to-back speeches. One in Mandarin, one in English; one was on Taiwan’s social issues and Give2Asia‘s work, and the other was on introverts in the workplace.
Meeting the Taiwanese people overseas is always a great pleasure, no matter how long they’ve lived abroad, they’re still showing tremendous care about Taiwan, which is a true blessing.
In the 2nd session, I found US students face very similar challenges with Asian students, such as “as an introvert, how do I demonstrate myself in job interviews?”
I’m so happy to know one of the participants decided to stay for the 2nd session and ended up getting inspirations for his upcoming job interview.
Getting to help people is a privilege, I cherish it every single day.
