A STUDENT LEADER LOOKS BACK AT ISLF 2017
This reflection on the recently concluded IGNATIAN STUDENT LEADERSHIP FORUM in Yogyakarta is from Chia Yu Lin, a student from St. Aloysius Technical School, Hsinchu Hsien, Taiwan.
Chia Yu Lin
The Ignatian Student Leadership Forum (ISLF) was held from August 15 to 21 in 2016 in Jogjakarta of Indonesia. The forum aims at making young students from Jesuit high schools in the Asian region learn how to be a good leader and know the importance of self-reflection. As I heard about the news that I was chosen to attend this forum, I became a little nervous. For one thing, I was one of only two participants from Taiwan; for another, we needed to take the flight to Indonesia without any teacher to accompany us. I began to think that it might be a dangerous journey. But after thinking for a while, I thought I would just need to be very careful during the trip. I couldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. (more…)

REFLECTIONS FROM AN IGNATIAN STUDENT LEADER (ON THE ISLF FORUM)
This reflection is from SEAN ETHAN CHENG, a student leader from Xavier School. Philippines, who participated in the recent Ignatian Student Leadership Forum (August 15-21, 2016), hosted by the Jesuits of the Indonesian Province and held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
The monsoon rains did stop the student leaders from so many different countries in the Asia-Pacific region to converge in unfamiliar Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Our delegation left Manila on a very stormy Sunday. After two flights and more than eight hours of travel, we were welcomed warmly by our hosts at the airport. The other delegations encountered floods on the way to Jogjakarta, but everything fell in place at the end of the day.
