Agnes is an intellectually curious and creative high school freshman at the Canadian International School of Hong Kong. Her common interests are mostly sports-related like basketball, netball, taekwondo. She is also fuelled by a creative mind, and therefore enjoy drawing and writing poems. She likes solving problems by collaborating with a group of like-minded teammates. She has actively engaged in various initiatives related to the SDGs. Being an active citizen, she has co-founded initiatives to address specific needs in the community and globally. “Design Your Life at 25” guides over 300 teenagers from 14 countries to plan out their future after experiencing the struggle to decide on her own future. Growing up in Hong Kong, a city with a large wealth gap, she has co-founded Light Their Rights HK with the aim to bridge the gap and help the underprivileged and homeless. She has also been actively promoting SDG awareness inside her school community as an active member of the Global Goals Council at CDNIS which hosts HK’s largest youth-led sustainable event - the annual HK SDG Summit. These experiences have developed her soft skills like leadership, time management and organisation and have expanded her perspective on global issues. In addition, it contributed to her personal growth - overcoming obstacles, stepping out of her comfort zone and thinking of new innovations. Ultimately, it gave Agnes a sense of purpose in life and really reflected the message of "passing it forward".
