College Life

While enrolling the foundation programme as a mature student, I did not have much expectation toward myself, even doubt that could I finish the curriculum. And today, I am able to complete the programme and continue my study in a university, I must say thank you to teachers from the foundation programme, they did not only deliver the syllabus extremely well, but also took care of students’ psychological needs such us aided us to induce our self-confidence in order to deal with future challenges.

I chose to do Psychology in my associate degree is because Psychology helps to develop deeper understanding about the society as well as the ability to use English. In these two years, there were lots of difficulties and pressure under studying. Yet, thanks for the helps of lecturers and classmates, I got fairly good grades and finally received the offer of Bachelor Degree in Engineering, Year 1. During these two years, I am lucky that I had found my goal. Lastly, here are some words to those junior students, “regardless of which topic it is, if you put all your efforts and fully engaged in it, you can beat it.

Thanks to studying an associate degree, I was given a comprehensive view towards Social Science. All the lecturers teaching psychology are experienced, which facilitated our learning by sharing some real life cases handled by them in their careers. On top of this, I highly appreciated that the classes always maintained a good learning atmosphere. Most classmates are active learners which motivated me to work hard and engage in in-class activities. I have gained much more than expected during these two years.

I thank to the College giving me a fruitful learning experience in these two years.  Lecturers foster me to pursue knowledge in different fields with their passion on teaching.  I can be well-prepared to enter the university by laying a solid foundation of Psychology. I would like to encourage students that once you do not give up, you can achieve your aim in one day.

As the learning style is different from the previous education system, comprehensive assistance is provided by the college in supporting students’ academic development. My treasurable memory was the time spent with my companions in chasing our dream of the university.

Enrolled in HPSHCC is definitely a decision that I will never regret. The courses here provide me a comprehensive knowledge on social sciences, languages and practical skills. I met lots of passionate and friendly lecturers and counsellors who nurture me to become a more mature and all-rounded person. I would like to thank my alma mater and wish that all my schoolmates could pursue their dream upon graduation.

What I have gained in this college is unexpectedly tremendous. I found my lifelong study goals and motivations through studying the psychology programme here as the lectures are fascinating and the teachers are inspiring. Besides, I am so lucky to be given a lot of opportunities by the college to enjoy different experiences, such as service tours and student ambassador schemes. These experiences are crucial for me to develop as a better person. One thing I must mention is the SDRC in this college, the Student Counsellors are supportive and I feel like I was never walking alone in these two years.

The best word used to describe my College life would be “unexpected”. I enrolled in this College and the programme without any plan. I could not imagine of being able to meet a number of people, such as classmates, lecturers and counsellors, who are the ones really support and care about every student. Undoubtedly, all the experiences I got at the College, not only led to my own all-round development like being a Student Ambassador, but also promote others’ betterments like participating in the Cambodia study and service tour. Now, my dream of getting a place in the HKU comes true!

I did not have a dream in the past but now, I have my goals and targets. I appreciate and thanks all people I met in this College, especially the lecturers and counsellors. They did not only provide me with academic knowledge, but also cared about my future plan and development. Lecturers are friendly, nice and patient. They are willing to help me to overcome many difficulties about my study. Counsellors also took the most important role in assisting me to pave my way for my future. They helped me in all aspects, ranging from university choices, future careers, university interviews, to all daily problems. I feel lucky to be one of the students at this College.

My critical thinking skills have been greatly enhanced after I studied comprehensive curriculum of Social Sciences provided by this College. The past two-year campus life is challenging, yet enjoyable, for me to strive for the same goal with my buddies. We labeled ourselves as “Procrastinator United” to struggle with every deadline of assignments, presentations and examinations with unforgettable overnights. To me, attitude can make such big differences since a head full of fears has no space for dreams. Only passion leads us to success. Studying at this College serves as a milestone relocating myself with my interest and desired dreams, which facilitates my personal growth.

Looking back on these two years of College life at HPSHCC, what I have learnt and gained is beyond my expectation. Regarding academic support, all the lecturers are tremendously professional. They do not only teach theoretical knowledge, but also supplement with interesting real-life examples. I have met a lot of good friends here and participated in different kinds of activities, such as the Shanghai Exchange Tour and drama performance. All of these have shaped me to be a better, all-rounded person. Lastly, I must say I have made the right choice to study at HPSHCC.
