College Life

After completing the 2021 DSE, I studied an associate degree for one year. However, I later realised that it wasn't a good fit for me, so I transferred to the Higher Diploma in Health and Social Care programme. Now, as I'm about to graduate, I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me along the way, including my classmates, the lecturers, and the staff from the Student Development Resource Centre. They  all played a significant role in making my two years at HPSHCC an enriching and rewarding experience.

Lastly, I would like to share a message with everyone here: Even if you don't get the required scores to enter university, don't be discouraged. Find your own goals and methods, and with hard work and dedication, you can definitely achieve your dreams. Stay hungry, stay foolish!

I faced setbacks in the past as I did not get satisfactory results in my public exam. Besides, I had heard so many judging phrases during my 3-year-study in the DFS programme and Higher Diploma. What I had leant is “The one who can help you change your future is yourself.” I am not sure how you feel when you saw this message, but it’s meaningless when you just look at someone’s successful cases and do no change yourself. Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to all of my lecturers and the SDRC, which provided lots of support for my studies, cheers.

I am so thankful to the college lecturers who taught us well and gave useful advice.  I am also grateful to my group mates who are always encouraging and supportive. Furthermore, the programme provides placement opportunities at elderly centres and youth centres. It allowed me to understand more about the operations of a community service centre and the needs of service users. The experience gave me much motivation in pursuing my future career.

In this programme, I have learnt lots of health-related knowledge and professional skills, this helped me to build a strong foundation for future study in nursing. Moreover, we were taught by health professionals in some of the courses, therefore we could know the up-to-date information about the health field and learn about the daily episodes in different health sectors. All of these sharpened my target of being a nurse. In the past 2 years, I have experienced a lot of diverse courses, particularly the placement experience which allowed me to learn and meet different service targets in community centers. Those experiences made me become more mature and prudent when dealing with different affairs.
