今天是環台活動的第七天,也是整趟旅程最重要的一天。因為我們迎來自己的成年禮,過了今天我們將會褪去年少的稚氣,變成一位有責任的成年人。一大早六點,我們在餐廳享用早餐準備出發,望著外面飄下的細雨,每個人的神情似乎都略顯緊張。幸好的是,我們一騎出飯店太陽就露臉了。我們一路謹慎的騎到孔廟。一進去,迎面而來的是站在兩邊熱情的家長,每個人手拿橫條,大聲喝采。我們沿著小道跟著領騎將腳踏車架在一旁的空地,到廟前廣場集合。過了不久其他班也進到廟裡,廟前廣場的家長也逐漸變多。這時,教官站在整個廣場的正中間說道:「好,各位同學請保持安靜」。典禮開始了。身為中隊長站在前面的我,看著大家神情嚴肅,排列整齊的聽著校長誦祝詞,我感到很欣慰,也覺得大家都很重視這場活動。接下來就是中隊長代表的宣讀,每班中隊長都大喊出我們每個人的部分,最後一句話大家齊聲說道:「成為社會的菁英」。大喊這句話的同時,也證明了我們即將長大成人,要為社會做出貢獻的決心。緊接著是敬酒,各班中隊長向導師敬酒,一開始我還真的以為要喝酒,想說如果酒駕怎麼辦。但是學校其實是給我們雪碧代替酒,畢竟在台灣十八歲才合法喝酒。最後是整個成年禮的重頭戲,也就是戴冠儀式。我們班是第一個班進行這個儀式。一入內所有家長和同學都很激動、興奮、期待。輪到我時,我單膝下跪,由我的爸爸替我戴冠。戴上冠的那一瞬間,浮在腦海裡的是:「這個頭冠也太華麗了吧!」拍完照後,一出廟門,心裡頓時覺得自己長大了,應該要開始對自己的所作所為負責任了,同時也要學會獨立了。經過整個流程後,我們班的同學和家長齊聚一堂拍照,家長在鼓勵玩我們後,也相繼離開了。我們也繼續我們的環台活動,一路往台南前去。 Today is the most important day of our cycling trip—The Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Today, we will leave our childish self behind, and become responsible grownups. Looking at the raining sky, we were ready, a bit nervous too, but the sun came out as soon as we left the hotel. Our trip to the Confucian Temple was filled with parents cheering for us, some of them with banners representing each class, others with phones taking pictures. We followed our guide to place our bicycles, and then to the plaza in front of the temple, where the parents slowly gather. Our instructor informed us to stay quiet, to show the best side of us to our parents.
The ceremony began. As the captain of the grade, standing before the crowd,looking at the quiet and serious faces of our classmates, I was moved by how everyone was treating this ceremony as one of the important events of our life. We then took the oath, hoping to become the best of the best. That was the moment where we proved we would become adults, that we would dedicate ourselves to society. When we needed to make a toast to the teachers, I really panicked, thinking what if I get drunk? But that wasn’t the case, since the school gave us sprite to symbolize alcohol, as we would be underage drinkers if we were to really to drink. Last was the coronation. As the first class, the air was filled with excitement of both parents and students. I kneeled down on one knee. My dad placed the Chinese crown on my head. “This is a very pretty crown,” I thought. After the pictures, and just after the moment I stepped out of the temple, I felt new, new as an adult responsible for my future actions, new as I begin my trip into the grownup world, new as this would be the start of our own hero’s journey. Last but not least, the class took a picture together with all our parents, and said our goodbyes, ready again to start on our journey to Tainan.
