Personal Qualities

(Assessment by Principal,  Aspiration Junior College )

Jonathan Chen Meng En was a student of  Aspiration Junior College from 2006-2007, where he pursued a course in the Arts Faculty.

Interpersonal Skills

Jonathan is a pleasant young man who is courteous and respectful.   He is friendly and outgoing, and can be counted on to take the initiative to extend a hand of friendship to the quieter students in class.  Although Jonathan is independent-minded, he is also diplomatic and is careful not to offend others who may not share his way of thinking. 

Intellectual  Independence and Desire for Learning

As far as academic ability is concerned, Jonathan is a capable student who is able to present arguments in a lucid and cogent manner.   He has developed increasing depth in his thought, and this is evident in his daily work.  Jonathan has participated actively in class, and will take the initiative to clarify his doubts with his tutors both in and outside of class.  He is also a motivated and diligent student who has set high goals for himself, and has steadily worked towards them during his two years in college. 

Civic-mindedness and Social Responsibility

Jonathan has always been interested in volunteering in the wider community.   He was one of the founding members of “Big Brothers” which was set up in 2006 to provide mentors and tutors to primary 5 and 6 children from low-income families in  Farquhar Primary School .  For his efforts, Jonathan was awarded the Young Achievers’ Award by the Contini Foundation in 2007.  

Leadership Qualities

Through his involvement in college activities, Jonathan grew more confident as a leader.  He was responsible and believed strongly in leading by example.  For example, as a member of the Executive Committee of the Student Council, he would not merely be planning events but would actively help his fellow councillors to operationalise these plans.  His leadership qualities were also evident in the rugby team where he helped to constantly encourage and focus his team-mates.
