Besides discovering how much he loves cooking-most importantly, he finally has his own thoughts about his future and can discuss it with his parents. I'm proud of him, and extremely happy at such a young age, he can uncovered his true passion.
除了發覺到他熱愛廚藝之外，最重要的是他終於有自己的想法，能跟家長討論自己的未來。真的以他為傲，我也替他開心能這麼早就發掘到自己對人生的熱情。

Knowing I have over 15 years of service industry experiences, it gave him more confident to learn English so one day he can study abroad at the world's best culinary schools!

當他發覺到我有15年餐飲業的經驗，更讓他信心十足的想學英文，讓自己以後能進入世界著名的廚藝學院就讀。

With the fire within him to succeed, the encouragement and open-mindedness of his parents, Teddy would be able to find success in the Culinary field.To him, that was already a life victory.
心裡的那把想成功的火和家長的鼓勵與無偏見的支持，相信子健在這廚藝界是有無限的未來。對他而言，這已經是人生的勝利了。

From the educational system, this handbook unfortunately was designed for below academic level students. With that perspective, most students already felt defeated!

很不幸的是這本手冊對教育部來說是給學科不好的學生們使用的。從他們的關點來看，學生們早就被打敗了。

In the Western educational system, the non-academic options were required starting Junior high schools with also 2-4 foreign languages to choose from.
在西方教育裡，這些技能課從國中就是必要的選課，還有2到4種的外國語言也是選課之一。

Though the handbook did its best to offer equal future in all fields, but sadly, that's not truly how the system is set up. The academic fields (such as medical,law, engineering, etc.) are still weighted as more significant than the other.
雖然這本手冊的出發點是對未來都是平等的，但是很不幸的是亞洲教育系統還不是這樣建立的。學科裡注重的醫學系、法律系、工程系到目前還是比技術系更被受重視的。

As someone who knows the significance of having a second language, I hope the system can encourage the importance of English learning. That way in the future, students in all fields will have the option to study abroad in either a school system or a company system. We as a community can assist that dream!
我知道多種語言的重要性，我也希望教育系統能鼓勵對英文的學習是非常的重要。總有一天每個學生的未來都有選擇性的，可選擇國際學校或公司。我們大家可以協助這個社會完成夢想!

Through Teddy, we can all feel the power of love and support means so much to anyone who's been told they can't!
從子健的例子，我們可以體會到不管任何人都需要愛和鼓勵的力量，何況是被否定的人。

There's a recent article going viral, a letter written by a Singapore principal to the parents, that reminded the parents the mid-term exams don't equal nor determine the fate of their child's future!

最近網路上瘋傳一篇，一位新加坡校長寫給家長的信，裡面提醒家長考試成績不能證明一切，尤其是孩子們的未來!

Let's learn from the message of this letter, and help make a difference in the Taiwan educational system.

讓我們從這封信裡得到的訊息，能幫助現有的教育系統有所改變。
