東方設計學院遊戲與設計科

林瀚已經國中三年級了，又到了一個渡口，接下來要往哪個學校去呢?

He's far from academic.  He has been putting up with school life for more than a decade.  When he first knew that he is 第一屆的12年國教生，he burst into tears.  "Isn't 9 years' nightmare school life long enough?" he complained, "Why do they make it 3 more years longer?"

In the winter break of early 2013, I was sitting in front of the computer, surfing the internet and wondering which school would be good for this young teenager to go?  Tainan Commercial School first came up to my mind.  They have the department of advertisement and design.  However, when I surfed their website, I saw the 跑馬燈message goes like this--本校學科要求嚴格  It's very true--they're one of the best vocational schools in Tainan area.  They have the best students, for sure.  And I imagine John surrounded by the most out-standing classmates.  It simply turned me down.  He definitely won't enjoy school that good.

Then, the name of 東方工專，came into my mind out of the blue.  When I was with 高苑，I once sub a part-time teacher's class at this school because this teacher gave birth in the middle of the semester.  And I was told that this school 美工科系很棒。 所以我就去搜尋東方工專，才發現已經易名為東方設計學院了。我想著，那他們還會保留五專部嗎?有些學校升格為學院或科大後就停招五專部了，我ㄧ查，五專部還在哪，而且竟然有ㄧ個科系  遊戲與設計   這簡直是  位林瀚量身設計的嘛
我太驚奇了  點進去  該系剛成立  連結只有2~3個網站  期中之ㄧ是LEGO  one of John's favorite websites

In the summer break of 2013, I further contacted the director of this dept.  They invited John and I to attend their 2-day orientation for the new students.  Even though John was still a 9th grader, graduation from junior high would be 1 year later, they still receive us.  When John and I attended this orientation, I found some packages of "Mindstorm" by Lego were there in the cabinet.  John had told me Lego's Mindstorm was his dream toy.  Another sign for me.

I am not quite sure if John could be accepted into this program of this school or not, but I strongly feel the guidance of the Lord has been with us.

Rest all my worries unto the fountain of many blessing.

祂必做我和林瀚引路的  直到死
