高中部廖晏唯獲選教育部103年全國慈善家庭楷模

高二2班廖晏唯同學獲選教育部103年全國慈善家庭楷模，並於5月8日榮獲新竹市許明財市長表揚。廖同學自幼聽力受損，其母親為此辭掉工作，每周兩次載她北上接受語言治療。其父親不論多忙，上班前後都要唸故事書給幼兒時期的她聽。雖然晏唯的語言能力因父母的努力與不斷的練習而不斷進步。但在國小、國中求學過程中仍會因聽力受損程度加重而無法在學校聽課，和同學互動，只能靠著自修來完成學業。雖然情況在上高中之後好轉，但卻因一場意外使她永遠喪失了右耳的聽力。從開刀到復健的一年漫長過程中，父母的正向的陪伴與鼓勵讓晏唯在聽不見老師授課的情況下，靠著自學順利地完成高一學業。雖然學習過程十分辛苦，但晏唯並沒有因此意志消沉，反而使她更珍惜家庭，也更努力向學。此外，晏唯媽媽有鑑於聽損孩子在求學之路的辛苦，希望以自身的經驗幫助更多人，於是創立了社團法人天使之音協會，以推動早療為宗旨，幫助更多的家庭謀求福利。積極投入協會活動的晏唯發現，做公益不但可以得到快樂，證明自己能夠自立，更能幫助別人。

High School Department Yan-Wei Liao Awarded 103rd School Year National Humanitarian Role Model by MOE

Yan-Wei Liao from H202 received the 103rd School Year𠏋 National Humanitarian Role Model given by the Ministry of Education and was awarded personally by the Hsinchu City mayor, Ming Tsai Hsu. As a child, Liao had impaired hearing. Because of this, her mother quit her job and drove her to Taipei twice a week for speech therapy. No matter how busy he was, her father would read her stories before and after work in her childhood. Even though Liao𠏋 linguistic abilities experienced constant improvement with her own and her parent𠏋 incessant efforts, she was still hindered by the degree of her hearing impairment and was unable to study at school as well as interact with her classmates during her primary and middle school years. Therefore, in order to complete her beginning years of education, Liao had to self study at home. Although her condition improved after she started high school, Liao permanently lost her right ear𠏋 hearing ability due to an accident. In the tedious process of surgery and rehabilitation, Liao𠏋 parents maintained a positive attitude through their presence and encouragements, allowing Liao to successfully rely on self-studying to finish her freshman year without being able to hear any teachers?lectures. Despite the fact that her educational career was extremely rocky, Liao was not discouraged and instead valued her family even more and strove for her education with even more perseverance. Furthermore, because Liao𠏋 mother witnessed the arduous process of pursuing education for hearing-impaired students, she wanted to use her first-hand experience to help even more people, and thus founded the Angel Voice Association, which promotes early treatment to benefit more families. Liao realized that doing community service not only gives one happiness and proves one𠏋 self-reliance, but it also helps countless other people.
