Two years ago, I was just a boy who pursued his dream, some charity-related ones, and came to Hong Kong. HKU SPACE CC provided me with an English learning environment and whole-person development cultivations. The lecturers and counsellors in the college were pretty excellent. They helped me overcome difficulties in the two years. It was a very meaningful learning experience in my life that filled with happiness.

During the time I studied in HKU SPACE CC, there were always a lot of assignments and projects, so I learnt to manage my time and get along with others well. I’m lucky that I didn’t go on my "SPACE journey" alone. I made a lot of friends and we motivated each other. Lecturers here were very supportive and helpful. When I looked back, DSE was just a small part of my life. Although there were many uncertainties when I first entered HKU SPACE CC, now I have graduated and got offers from universities. I know I have made the right decision!

It was such a bittersweet experience studying in HKU SPACE CC. As a freshman, I decided not to participate in any ECAs as I wanted to to focus solely on my study. I suffered psychologically and physically, and I could not taste the joy of learning. My fear of failing overwhelmed me. On my teachers’ advice, I balance my life by planning my study schedule and time to relax. I learn to utilize the CC resources about university requirements and graduates' records to prepare for the non - jupas application. It is not a miracle that I could finally achieve my goal – entering HKU, it is the effort that paid off. Chances will only be given to those who are well prepared!

Instead, it turns you to a new leaf and brand new chapter.

I got a HKU offer of 4-year Social Sciences programme. In fact,I didn't think that I would get this offer before interview. I just consider that if I apply this programme, I have 50% to get the offer; if I don't apply this programme, I have 0% to get the offer. After the interview, I felt satisfied with my performance. But I i didn't think about it anymore. "I do the best, God do the rest!" To me, I believe if something belong to me, they will belong to me, and vice versa. We should have faith that God has something better in store. Anyway, thanks people who help me and support me!

The many wise people I encounter here must include classmates, who later became my good friends. We spend lectures together, work for challenging group assignments from day to night, and nevertheless share laughters and tears together.
