YAD Study Session

Many Buddha's Light International Association South Island Young Adult Division 2 members will be having exams over the following few weeks. On the 9th of November, the Temple provided a study session at Fo Guang Shan South Island Temple's meeting room for YAD 2 members to prepare for their end of year of exams.

In the quiet and supportive environment, YAD 1 member Anne Chiang tutored the high school members through their problems on various subjects. The youths supported and encouraged each other, and studied quietly with great concentration on their work.

YAD 2 members who came to study included president Danny Chen, vice president Hao-Tin Lin, Hao-Wen Lin, Ann Hsiao, Fan-Ping Chiang and Brian Kuo. Even Takumi, an overseas’ Japanese student who does not have any end of year exams, sat quietly so he could be with the rest of the group.

The YAD members studied diligently and wholeheartedly, and apart from the odd question or two for Anne Chiang, everyone worked hard towards the end of year exams.

After a day of studying, everyone gained more knowledge and confidence. For the next 2 weeks, the youths will continue with these study sessions, in hope that by putting all their efforts in preparing for these exams, they will do their best and gain good marks.

The long day drew to a conclusion with a delicious dinner prepared by the temple, some ice-cream and a good movie-all in a bid to help the youth wind down after a toiling day of study.
