The Goodall days

00:01 Hello, my name is Joshua and I'm 14 years old. I'm currently in my first year high school and today is December 1, 2023, and I'm speaking to Yang Ping Lee, who is my mother. We're recording in my closet right now because. Yeah, for whatever reasons, I guess. Okay, my first question is, what have you accomplished so far, personally or professionally? And what, like, makes you. Sorry, let me reset the question. What have you accomplished so far personally and professionally that makes you the proudest and why. So what accomplishment you've made that makes you the proudest?

01:01 Okay. In terms, I'm professional. So the greater treatment that we did, greater research, try to help with the treatment of the patients with many kind of disease. So I'm so glad that we contributed to that part. Even it's, you know, a big, you know, long journey. My personal life. I think the great thing is that I have a great family with greater two children. One is. Joshua is the elder one. So I'm proud for being part of both personal, you know, and then professional because they actually what I. Because I have great family. So I got a lot of, you know, support from my family so that I can focus on my, you know, research and also, you know, the rewarding for my research make me just, you know, more feel, realize, you know, how important the family is. So I'm proud for being part of both roles. So impersonal and professional. They nothing, you know, more or less to each other. So that's important in my life.

02:32 Okay, thank you. Another question that I have is, tell me, how would you like to be remembered by like, your friends, your family, or just like, people, you know, and like, how would they, how would you like them to remember you?

02:52 Oh, I just wanted them to remember me as a positive person and, you know, full of, like, curiosity. And I do my best to achieve my goal to realize my dream and turning negative things into positive. That's what I want my close friend and friends, you know, family to remember me as, you know, just, you know, spiritually.

03:26 Okay. Another question that I have is, are there any classic family jokes, stories or songs that you can share with me that your family used to share with each other back when you were younger?

03:45 I sing some stories in the songs that my parents share with me when I was little because they have friends, they have, you know, really bad time. You know, financially, they were so desperate. I need them. But eventually they just did a great teamwork and then they just succeed later on and financially stable and their kids got a great, went to a Great college and then got a great job and then they have a really good life later. So that's song that my parents share with me is like. It's called like the root. You know, it means the root of like plants. So in this song they talk about the life is full of colors, different colors. They always like uptime and down times, all time. So you just realize the root is, you know, the everything, you know, start step from. So even you just, you know, encounter igb down times. But it's always remember the root is the hope of everything. So you just, you know, get over those bad days and then or you know, overcome those difficulties. And then you can see the, you know, the growing of the plant from the root. It's you know, both examples. Try to, you know, cheer me up when I was, you know, sad or depressed sometime when I encounter some difficult. So that's, you know, kind of like something my family always knew. Circulate around. Yeah, I feel like I was encouraged and I was encouraged to see the hope of, you know, what I wanted to go for.

06:04 Thank you. What are your most vivid memories of school? Being vivid. Being the most funniest or the most fearful or like the memory has that has sticky your head for the majority of your life?

06:24 Oh, you know, the most like I think memory things in my school, I think maybe elementary school is. I learned how to handle the unexpected situations without any preparations. I remember I was asked to give a speech on stage to other school students sharing my experience how to grow as a role model academically. But unfortunately, I think, you know, the teacher or the person who just arranged those speech things they put me on. The other list is like, you know, as a student who wanted to make a greater effort to grow into a, you know, very good role models. So I actually wrote a speech about my appearance grow into a really good role model academically. But I was not prepared for those. You know, the other example, I was kind of, you know, like picnic for a little bit. I said how am I going to do? Because nobody helped me because just a few minutes before I step on stage. So I'm thinking, how am I going to do it? This kind of situation I never experienced because these two so totally opposite. And then I would, you know, just click all the information, all those, you know, you know, examples how, you know, make a great effort to, you know, towards you, your the model you wanted to be like, you know, to be, you know, get a great, you know, improvement in your academically academic level. So I told myself, I thought about the things that my parents told me, you have to calm down and then think about it and then just, you know, work towards that, you know, direction. So I come down and collect all those examples that I can remember to show. I made like a speech on stage and everybody was so excited. They see the hope. Okay, if you make a great effort, you can just be the role model everybody wanted to, you know, want to be. I was, you know, so glad and I did it. You know, I. What I'm pride most is that I'm able to handle that situation and just with my courage. So my experience is like never be taken by this kind of situation. You just be fearless and you can do it.

09:46 Okay, thank you. The last question I have with you today is that if you could go back to your younger years, let's say high school for an example, or your just teenage years in general, would you relive that moment? Would you want to go back in time and relive that moment?

10:10 Yes and no. So I think my first year at high school I was really enjoy that year because I came from a, you know, lower rank middle school. And then we don't have so much teaching results and then lots of middle schoolers crying into that high school which they have greater results. I was curious but I don't have so much resource to expose to. I'm full of, you know, curiosity and then I really passionate to learning lots of since you know, just drinking from science, you know, physics and chemistry, those things. It's just I feel so great that we have such results at the first year of high school. I just like was so excited. I just did my effort, great effort. It all driven by my, you know, curiosity and I was, you know, feel great because mine an academic level just just you know, show up and then everybody so surprised to see mine grows. And I was surprised myself because I got make great effort and then I realized my goal. But you know, life is, you know, you always have is a long journey. You always feel like and done times. I mean it's like you know, right now. So we could not live in the past. We encourage that spirit and move on and then just make a great effort, full of passion, fill up with your passion and then be prepared and with courage and then to encounter, you know, some if something you encountered on prepared or really challenging. Just don't feel, don't be fearful, just you know, go for it and then you can make it. So life, you know, studio is ongoing. I really want, you know, to move on with my children so that they can have the same spirit so that they can just enjoy their life as well, even when they. Even they have really difficult times. Yeah, that's something I wanted to carry on.

12:52 Thank you for your time. It was really interesting to listen to your past experiences and the good old days, if my generation says that. But yeah, thank you for spending time with me.
