Coming of Age: setting goals for a good life
1500 eighteen-year
olds gathered at the Hong Kong Convention Centre on 2 May to
mark their age of majority with a rite of
passage. The transition from adolescence to adulthood is celebrated
in most communities as the time when young people take up the
responsibility for their own lives - both in the legal and
the personal sense. Since 1998 the Federation has seen 10,000
young people celebrate the occasion with a public vow of commitment
to civil society and their country. Last week they were led
by the Secretary for Justice, The Honourable Elsie Leung who
offered inspiration by saying:
|
|
"You
have attained majority and have acquired many rights and
freedoms that you did not hitherto enjoy. These bring responsibilities
to yourself and your parents, to society and to the state.
In the long term we are part of the history of humanity and
must be accountable towards later generations. Therefore,
you must now set your goals then march towards them with
perseverance to a colourful future whether you continue studying,
take a job or take up vocational training."
The Honourable
Elsie Leung, GBM, JP, Secretary for Justice
