College Life

Even though I didn't do well in the HKDSE examination, I got a new opportunity from my Higher Diploma programme. I have learnt various knowledge, such as: Cloud Computing, Web Programming and Database Management. Hands-on learning through internship really helped me improve. I also tried to use AI and machine learning to assist on my internship project. It was such a great time to work on group projects with my new friends. My peers and lecturers from HPSHCC made my learning journey more fun and smoother, and encouraged me to progress my undergraduate study.

Sometimes failure is a blessing in disguise.

My failure in the public examination drove me to enroll in this College. Over the past two years, I was grateful to have met patient lecturers and caring schoolmates. They gave me a wealth of new knowledge in psychology and made my learning journey less lonely. The most beautiful scenery of this College was not the tall buildings outside the windows, but the passionate teachers and the determined schoolmates. If it weren't for my past failure, I wouldn't have had the fortune of meeting them.

Here is a message for you who may be experiencing setbacks:  “Though it is too late to change the past, there is still time to shape the day to come." Regardless of the past, as long as you have the will, you can catch up with everything.

I studied for a two-year Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at the College. With the guidance and assistance from my tutors, I gained a good foundation in biochemistry knowledge, which greatly benefited me when I entered City University of Hong Kong’s Biology programme. I am very grateful to the College and my tutors for their selfless help and patient guidance in the past two years, which helped me, despite my failure in the public examination, to pursue my favorite subject and move towards my ideal. Therefore, students need not panic even if their test scores do not meet their expectation. The College will provide you with a new opportunity.

During these two years studying at HPSHCC, I reaped abundant knowledge and skills from the Higher Diploma in Sport and Recreation Management programme. The course has provided me with professional management knowledge, which has greatly solidified the spectrum of sports recreation knowledge and further prepared my future career. Moreover, the variety of courses and materials also captivated and intrigued me greatly. It can broaden students’ horizons in the sports recreation area, like sports marketing and human resource management.

Finally, I sincerely appreciate all the college lecturers for their endeavours and dedication. Without their patience and guidance, I might not have achieved satisfactory results.

My two years at HPSHCC was unforgettable. The well-designed curriculum and progressive content helped me adapt quickly. The Internship programme allowed me to apply my knowledge into practice, and the lecturers were always willing to help students with challenges. I feel fortunate to be a part of the College, giving me confidence to face future challenges.

The road ahead will have more trials, but do not underestimate your abilities. Let’s face difficulties head-on, you definitely can unleash your unlimited potential.

In the past two years at HPSHCC, I learned a lot about Accounting and Finance. This programme has provided me with a solid foundation in the business field. For example, the knowledge of Taxation and Business Law is really useful, enabling me to reduce tax burdens legally and protect my interests through business law. Also, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the stock market by knowing different financial ratios in the Essentials of Investments lectures. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the lecturers who taught me before and the Student Development Resource Centre staff. Thank you!

There is a quote that I really love: “Work with discipline, not motivation.” If you keep chasing your dream, you will succeed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Let’s focus more on yourself and find the best version of “You”!

During my time studying at HPSHCC, I acquired extensive medical knowledge in disciplines such as pharmaceutics, anatomy and physiology, as well as laboratory and research instrumentation. This comprehensive education profoundly enhanced my interest in the medical domain and established a solid foundation for my subsequent university studies. Furthermore, I am grateful for the guidance provided by the college lecturers throughout these two years. In addition to their patient instruction in class, they provided me with information and suggestions on further study, which helped me delineate clear directions and objectives for my academic and professional future.

Arriving at HPSHCC with a touch of apprehension, I was quickly embraced by a supportive community of peers and teachers who encouraged me to find my voice – not just in the classroom but also as a student ambassador. Their guidance has helped me blossom into a more mature student, communicator, and leader.

Dear fellow students, our unwavering commitment to truth, accuracy, and impactful storytelling will pave the way for remarkable achievements. Let us pursue our stories with passion, question everything, and always keep our notebooks at the ready – for the headlines of our careers are yet to be written. May we each shine brightly in our chosen fields, illuminating the path ahead with our dedication and enthusiasm.

Diligence requires continuous accumulation - every seemingly insignificant step you take will reveal the significance of persistence in one day.

From a state of bewilderment to one of gratitude, two years of associate degree studies flowing by a blink of eye were imbued with reluctance to leave. HPSHCC has provided diverse opportunities to enrich my learning experience. I am profoundly grateful for the persuasive guidance and support provided by the lecturers and the Student Development Resource Centre counsellors, which instilled in me confidence and encouragement to pursue further studies at CUHK. The two years spent at HPSHCC have become my most cherished recollections and will establish a robust foundation for my future university endeavours.

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!
