            I’ve been studying in SHB since I was in grade 7. Now I am in grade 12, which proves that I know SHB quite well. There were so many differences back then. Back then, SHB was really good. Now, SHB has improved even better. SHB provides convenient and useful facilities for the students to learn comfortably and do other activities such as extracurricular, class meeting, flag ceremony, competition, assembly, and etc.

The teachers are really nice to students. Each of them has his/her own way to teach and deliver the material to the students. Basically, both the junior high school teachers and the senior high school teachers are really nice. They also nurture our characteristic by disciplining us to become a better person, so we will be accepted in the society outside the the school. There are times when students misbehave. However, the teachers deal with this misbehavior patiently. They also give the students punishment as the consequence and as a lesson, so the students will not do any misbehavior in the future, both inside and outside school. The teachers always support and help us to achieve our dream. They do have a big influence on the students’ lives. I believe one day we will thank them. Because of their presence, we learn so many precious things both academically and morally.

My friendship here has always been great, too. I have a lot of nice friends here who always stand beside me through ups and downs. As time goes by, we have grown together into a better person under the school guidance in the same environment for these past years. We have developed into a better person by joining many positives school programs, such as Outing, Youth Camp, and Leadership Camp. These three programs are based on SHB motto which is “Knowledge, Faith and Character”. SHB always holds those three programs annually, in which the students visit a certain place and stay there for about 4-5 days. The students learn many things outside the school in a new and unusual way. In building friendship, we cannot avoid having misunderstandings where conflicts start. When the conflict start and it gets worse, SHB provides us a really good counselor to mediate us and give some advices to each of us to solve the conflict. The counselor here has a really great role which is to the students through any hardships.

My conclusion is SHB is a really great school. One of its strong points is we have to study English and Mandarin almost every day because SHB considers those two international languages are very important these days. Another one is that this school gives freedom to everyone to practice the plural religions and cultures. Race and religion don’t matter here because SHB teaches the students to respect others who have different beliefs. My expectation for SHB is to keep those great programs to enhance students’ knowledge and provide more facilities.[:]
