Elicia, 12, says:
It would be different because Hong Kong
is a very safe place so your parents can let you go out with
your friends without being so worried about you.
Taina, 15, says:
Life would be a complete turnover. I
couldn’t think about not growing up in Hong Kong; it’s so
diverse and beautiful here.
Arden, 12, says:
I think living in Hong Kong has taught
me a lot about culture and diversity, and coming together
no matter where you’re from. It has also made me stronger,
because it takes a lot of courage to move to a foreign country.
Shannon, 15, says:
It would be very different; the
education here is impeccable and at such a higher level
than the public schools back home. Also, I think that
since we have much more freedom, we learn to be more
independent and not rely on our parents so much.
Parker, 13, says:
If I didn’t move here I wouldn’t have
been able to travel and explore the world as much, seeing
new cities and countries and trying new things.
Collin, 15, says:
Holidays would be much more different,
as we wouldn’t need to visit the family every summer/
winter.
Ava, 14, says:
It would be completely different. I would be
a suburban kid that would exclude the rest of the world and
only be focused on the little town I lived in. I also wouldn’t
be the athlete or the person I am today because of the
opportunities and the environment here.
Do you think life would
be different if you were
growing up back home,
or elsewhere?
