Our next question: “If you could have an unlimited supply of one thing that isn’t money, what would it be and why?” To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Tuesday, January 6.
Anson Hui Sai-to, 16, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School: Getting in shape. I’ve heard about callisthenics since I was 15, but I have never dedicated myself fully to it. At the start of the new year, I would like to enhance my push and pull strength and polish my overall shape.
Juniper Lai Hiu-yan, 12, St Paul’s Co-educational College: I really hope to be featured in Young Post again. Submitting responses gives me joy because it feels like I can share my experiences and thoughts with others. If this gets into Young Post, I hope I will be lucky in 2026 and pass my exams.
Li Wa-san, 17, PLK Mrs Ma Kam Ming-Cheung Fook Sien College: I hope I can become a champion in a table tennis competition. I never win table tennis competitions even though I always train. I get nervous, so I want to overcome this problem and have a chance to become a champion.
Chen Sze-wing, 17, Fung Kai Liu Man Shek Tong Secondary School: The first thing that comes to mind is to make sure that I am trying my best to love myself. To be honest, it took me almost a year to get rid of my self-doubt. After realising its seriousness, I want to learn how to believe in myself without even thinking about it.
Hugo Li Kwan-ho, 13, Tai Kwong Hilary College: My goal is quite unique. Over the past few weeks, my sleep hasn’t been as good as I’d hoped. Therefore, my goal for the new year is to wake up naturally more often. Waking up naturally puts me in a much better mood. If we can get enough sleep and wake up naturally, we can improve our quality of life. I hope everyone can wake up naturally to have a better mood and a better life. This is a rare wish for everyone, especially in Hong Kong.
Aidan Tang, 9, Victoria Shanghai Academy: I hope to see fireworks and stay awake until midnight to see the countdown to 2026. I’m going to New Zealand, so I don’t know if I will see fireworks there. If there aren’t any, I can still celebrate with my family.
Yuny Tai Yui-kiu, 12, PLK Tang Yuk Tien College: I am hopeful for new school experiences. I have only been a secondary student for three months, and there are still many fun things to explore. I am obviously excited about all the interesting experiences I could have at school, such as drama competitions and singing contests. There will also be a sports day this year, with a slogan and an enthusiastic crowd of students. I think it will be a very special moment for me. There will be more social activities. I want to join the debate team, and I hope it will be a great experience.
Praveen Sathappan Narayanan, 12, Island School: As I left my primary school and moved on to secondary school, I found myself in a dilemma of not being able to meet my old friends and soon forgot about them. In 2026, I hope to meet my friends to rekindle and revive old connections and create everlasting memories.
Ying Lai-yan, 17, PLK Mrs Ma Kam Ming-Cheung Fook Sien College: For the past 17 years, a cup of hot milk in the morning has been a rare communication bridge between my parents and me. In the new year, I hope to share more of my school life with them and say “I love you” instead of “Thank you” every morning.
Brian Zhong Man-chun, 16, Carmel Alison Lam Foundation Secondary School: Seeing the tragic Tai Po fire made me realise that life is short. We never know what comes next. Therefore, we have to cherish the time we have. I believe that the new year will be full of opportunities to count blessings and feel glad and joyful every day.
