街坊人物專訪專訪｜Becky Liu 劉千鈺

Becky總是朝氣滿滿，並在嚮光最需要他的專業協助時出現。身為一位多才多藝的實習生，不論是萬華夢想蛋糕計畫的草圖繪製、清泉的歲末物資發送小隊，或是在廚房協助烹調、在孩子身邊一起發揮創造力，許多地點的活動都能看見Becky專注的身影。

我們很開心能夠遇見像Becky這樣的實習生，也歡迎他加入嚮光的Neighborhood社群！

Daisy: 你是在何時、如何得知嚮光協會?為什麼想成為嚮光實習生？
Becky Liu: 我是之前在網路上尋找實習時偶然發現嚮光實習的機會，在大致了解實習內容時，就很想給自己一個機會去申請看看，因為我很喜歡跟小朋友相處，也很想試著參加志工的活動，做出一些可以為社會有貢獻的事。因此就鼓起勇氣投下履歷，然後得到了再嚮光實習的機會。

D: 你覺得嚮光與其他組織有何不同之處?或是嚮光在做的事與 其他組織有區別，這有什麼重要的意義?
B: 我自己接觸的組織其實沒有很多，但是在辦活動的時候可以感覺得出來嚮光會站在平等的角度去思考，像是在做Line貼圖的主旨是讓孩子們可以知道自己也是可以給予的，我自己很喜歡這句話，因為這也可以讓別人覺得自己很重要，也可以用實際行動去表達感謝，而且是以自己的能力去表達感謝。

D: 在參與嚮光培力工作坊的過程中，有什麼有什麼值得紀念的時 刻或與孩子們的互動讓您印象深刻?
B: 我最喜歡的是在清泉孩子們帶我去參觀或介紹他們學校，或是去萬華的時候休息時間孩子們跟我分享自己的事，這些時候可能看起來不能代表甚麼，但是我自己卻很喜歡這些時刻，就很像是變成朋友一樣，跟朋友介紹自己身邊的事。

 D: 是否有因為實習或與孩子互動，改變你未來處理問題或與孩子相處的方式?
B: 有! 我覺得我會更加站在多方角度去思考，像是站在他們角度去想為什麼這樣做

D: 實際在培力營與孩子面對面後，在辦公室的實習的時候心裡 是否有不同的轉變呢?
B: 應該說在辦公室時會把一切簡單化，但實際在辦活動時卻有很多的不確定因素或是小意外，但是這就是辦活動的樂趣啊!

D: 你對孩子們有什麼期望，或是你能夠做什麼？
B: 我希望他們可以成為自己心目中想成為的那種大人，可以去追尋自己想做的事，雖然聽起來很簡單，但要真正做到卻有些困難。之後我如果有時間也會回去當大朋友志工幫忙的。

加入我們實習生團隊！或歡迎來當大朋友志工！

Becky is an absolute delight and came to Bright Side Projects just right when we needed her help and expertise. An intern of many talents, Becky was always there from sketching dream birthday cakes in Wanhua to year end necessities ChingChuan and in the kitchen cooking or creating alongside our children throughout Taiwan.

We were happy to have her as an intern and glad to have her in our Bright Side Neighorhood!

Daisy: How and when did you find out about Bright Side Projects and what made you want to become an intern?
Becky: I stumbled upon Bright Side’s internship opportunity when I was looking for an internship on the internet. After I had a general understanding of the internship job description, I really wanted to give myself a chance to apply for it, because I like to get along with children very much. I also really want to try to participate in volunteer activities and do something that can contribute to society. So I mustered up the courage to submit my resume, and then got the opportunity to intern with Bright Side.

D: What do you think are unique characteristics to Bright Side Projects from other organizations?
B: There are not many organizations I have been in contact with, but I can feel that Bright Side will think from an equal perspective when holding activities. For example, the main purpose of making LINE stickers is to let children know that they too can give back to others. I like this sentence very much, because it can also make others value themselves, and they can express their gratitude with realistic actions, and express gratitude or thanks with skills that they might have.

D: Any memorable moments in the workshops with the children?
B: What I liked most is when the children in Chingchuan took me to visit or introduce their school, or when we went to Wanhua and the kids shared their stories with me. These times may not seem to mean anything big, but I like these moments when we were like friends, it’s a warm and inviting feeling when you are introducing things that are familiar around you to you and your friends.

D: Has this internship or moments in interacting with children through Bright Side Projects brought about any changes in how you approach issues/kids in the future?
B: Yes! I think I will think more from multiple perspectives, such as the kids perspective into why I do the things I do.

D:  How has it been working in the office as an intern and being able to tie that in with the importance of the work Bright Side does with the children when you see their faces?
B: It should be said that everything not too difficult in the office, but there are many uncertainties or unpredictable incidents that may delay our activities that may affect the actual event, but this is the fun of running an event!

D: What are your hopes for the children or what you can do?
B: I hope they can become the kind of adults they want to be, and can pursue what they want to do, although it sounds simple, it is difficult to actually do it. If I have time, I will go back and assist as a Big Friend volunteer!

Welcome to join in our events or if you can read and write Mandarin fluently, join us as an intern!
