「與香港同行」計劃的前身為「與司局長同行」計劃，於去年暑假首度推行。本年度計劃擴大了規模，易名為「與香港同行」計劃，並分為兩期舉行。我校中五級鄭芷棠同學成功入選，於4月18日成為了「公司註冊處處長」鍾麗玲太平紳士的工作影子，了解處長的工作和政府的運作模式。
芷棠參與了兩小時的會議，參觀了辦公室，了解各部門的辦公情況。除了了解政府部門的運作，處長還分享了自身的經歷，以及耐心聆聽芷棠訴說她的理想，適時給予中肯的意見。「我和我的拍檔同樣希望成為律師，鍾處長細心地邀請了兩位資深律師與我們共進午餐，讓兩位律師分享他們成為律師的條件、所需要的準備等，我們獲益匪淺。」
無論是處長還是兩位資深的律師，都強調堅持的重要。只要肯堅持，便能創造無限的可能。參與「與香港同行」計劃2019，芷棠更認清將來的發展方向。向著律師這個理想，芷棠勇敢邁步前行。
An S.5 student, Cheng Summer, was successfully selected to participate in "Be a Government Official for a Day" programme 2019. She was offered an opportunity to shadow a senior government official on the job for a day to gain hands-on experience of the official's work and a better understanding of the Government's operation on 18 April. The official she shadowed was Ms Ada L. L. Chung who works for Companies Registry as Registrar of Companies.
Summer attended a two-hour meeting and paid a visit to Ms. Chung’s workplace to understand the operation of different departments. During the visit, Ms. Chung also shared her work experience while learning about Summer’s insights on various issues and her life goals and future plans. “Since Ms. Chung knew that my dream job is to be a lawyer, she invited two experienced lawyers to have lunch with us. During lunch, they shared valuable information such as job requirements, preparation work, etc. We did get a better understanding about the profession,” Summer said.
In the programme, both Ms. Chung and the two lawyers emphasized that the key to success is perseverance. With perseverance, it is not difficult to make the impossible possible. Bearing this in mind, Summer is able to reinforce her future plan and is prepared to realise her dream.
