This week’s question: What kind act did you recently perform that made someone smile? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Wednesday, June 18.
Silver Ag, 14, Po Leung Kuk Gold & Silver Exchange Society Pershing Tsang School: I want to express my gratitude to my teacher, Benjamin. I used to be an introvert, and whenever he asked me questions, I would feel nervous and struggle to find the correct response. He encouraged me to speak up and be more confident. Thanks to his support, I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Wong Ka-yu, 18, Fung Kai No 1 Secondary School: I would choose Marie Curie. I would reveal the secret that future scientists will develop a method to make nuclear energy completely safe and pollution-free, hoping to inspire her to continue exploring.
Law Wai-ching, 13, Pope Paul VI College: I would share my secret with a stray dog. I would tell them that they are loved and will find a warm home. I would promise to bring them food and treats, showing them that kindness is a real thing. A little care can turn their lonely days into happy ones filled with love.

Yanie Li Yan-yin, 13, St Paul’s Convent School: I haven’t been doing well in school lately, and my grades are pretty bad. I’ve been too embarrassed to share this with anyone. With this device, I want to share my results anonymously with a stranger so I can avoid the embarrassment of revealing my struggles.
Aimee Chong Sau-ling, 12 St Paul’s Co-educational College Primary School: Discrimination occurred between ethnic groups until Martin Luther King Jnr delivered his impactful speech, which inspired thousands. If I had a magic walkie-talkie, I would use it to share a secret with him, encouraging him to continue advocating for love and non-violence.
Ellen Ren Yuting, 12, Pui Kiu College: If I could share my thoughts with anyone, I would choose the famous scientist Dmitri Mendeleev. I would like to express my passion for science and the challenges I have faced while learning it. I am sure that he would understand the challenges I’ve encountered and could offer valuable advice to help me.
Isaki Wong Shi-shi, 17, Fung Kai No 1 Secondary School: I plan to share this with my friend, whom I’ve known since we were in primary school for nine years. I’ll tell her about some embarrassing moments I’ve experienced with other students because I know she won’t judge me, and I hope my humour can brighten her day.
Cayden Siu Kai-ting, 15, Yan Oi Tong Tin Ka Ping Secondary School: I would choose every current world leader and persuade them to prioritise world peace and put an end to wars around the globe. Many people suffer from violence, and I wish that this walkie-talkie could help me bring about an end to these conflicts.
Tong Tsz-nga, 12, Pope Paul VI College: I would choose my primary school classmate to share experiences from my secondary school, such as school secrets, what I eat for lunch and how the food tastes in my school tuck shop.
Karson Ma, 14, Pui Kiu College: I would choose to confide in a random stranger from anywhere in the world. I would share my discomforts and insecurities with them. This way, I could express myself freely and relieve stress without worrying about judgment, as the stranger likely wouldn’t care about my troubles.
