2. Summary of Our Project
Meeting Shiao-Tin,we met the first person who won the presidential award in Yu-Da? The first impression was ordinary, she’s just like the girl in the next door, so tender, but there’s a determination and power come out through her eyes which is so different. It did not make her weak to having injection of DFO everyday, “You can see the sunshine everyday.” She said. To her, that’s the most precious thing to her. We did not know much about her illness, and how much it affect her, but we saw the wonderfulness of life in her. We were curious, therefore we gathered teachers and students starting discussing about the topic. People get illness and also depression. But she seems gladly endure those hardships. We work hard but we keep complaining, in her, we realized the impact of facing life, we see hopes as we see her, that’s our strike, and also let more people know about this disease, as we can try harder to prevent this kind of rare disease from happening by sifting from genes.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
1. Photo shooting Shiao-Tin has about 30 collections of her won works, she placed them in a box, some handcrafts are made by Shiao-Tin with so much work, some are the samples for teaching children, and also a lot of certificate of award, but we found that some photo shoots she offered are a little bit blurry, so we eventually have to get Shiao-Tin’s permission so that we can borrow some of her work and do some reshots. 2. Technique As the lack of computer techniques, we felt like even though we have the ambition, but somehow we can’t achieve, which we were not able to make special effect on computer. So Ms. Wu taught us some ideas of techniques, and practice makes perfects. That’s why we do it step by step from the basis, and we feel more comfort using those techniques. 3. Communication After our teacher decided the main topic, everybody came up with different opinions, each people thought that would be a waste if one’s own opinion not been taken, and the situation became everybody holds their insistence. At this moment, teachers need to communicate with the captains for each groups, we discuss about the good and bad, and our result will always be the best for our project and team. 4. Time cooperation Due to the heavy school work, and we need to finish our task in certain time. To us, it’s a heavy pressure, therefore we can only do it after school, and try to finish it on time at school computer room. I think that’s a challenge, and also because we actually did our best, so we have the result today.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
There are so many blessings behind each depression, we complain about out work, affection, interpersonal relationship, and the struggle of family, but we are so touching by how did Shiao-Tin and her family face the challenge and struggling with life, inspired us that we should always remind ourselves whenever we face to the frustration and depression, we still have brain and a pair if hand to explore unpredictable possibilities of life, to expect ourselves to follow Shiao-Tin’s unyielding determination, face oneself bravely, and turn the worst to the better one. The Clobal Cyberfair let us to know better and deeper about Internet world. In fact, there were a few people in our group had no idea about computer at all in the beginning, gradually, trough discussions and participation, they learned some techniques as well. We didn’t get defeated by those challenges which come with the report tasks, our potential actually got inspired by the tight plans. We worked so hard, we turn in this result, and also made us grow a lot in every aspects, we hold together until the last minute, we believe this achievement will show its brightness in certain time.
