Studying at HKU SPACE Community College, I experienced many things that I would otherwise not. CC gave me a brand new opportunity to delve into the subject that I was interested in. Besides, the Social Sciences discipline here let students explore different themes in year 1. This allowed us to make a more informed and knowledgeable choice before selecting the theme.

For me, HKU SPACE CC is generally regarded as a stepping stone to get into university. It provides me with profound acknowledgement on studying Social Sciences. Besides that, participating in different service trips and study tours that were held by Social Sciences domain have broadened my horizons and made me be more concerned about social issues in our society. These experiences are memorable; they turned me to become enthusiastic and passionate about studying social affairs. With these experiences, I have become well equipped to prepare for my university education. To be frank, studying in HKU SPACE CC is a journey but not a destiny. Let’s seize every chance and strive for excellence.

Studying in HKU SPACE CC was a wonderful journey. The knowledge I gain is new and interesting and can provide a foundation for further study. The experience in CC could enlighten my personal attitude no matter I can enter university or not. The social science programme is beneficial for students who are interested in society issues but not knowing which perspectives they can investigate. This is a fortunate for me to find my direction in HKU SPACE CC.

“I am a loser; all my friends enter universities except me…” I held these beliefs when I entered HKU SPACE CC. I felt frustrated and lost to confront this unfamiliar environment. In fact, the result of public exam should not be the criterion to evaluate you and I. Everyone should have their unique values. Throughout two-year study of Social Sciences here, it would undoubtedly guide you to find out your values and the important things in your life. As long as you always hold the belief that takes everything seriously during the process, you will definitely gain a lot. Therefore, you can participate in different activities and meet new buddies so as to understand yourself deeply and concern about others. Try to perceive and respect everyone you meet as if how you expect others to treat you. Moreover, seeking help from the considerate lecturers of Social Sciences when you are facing difficulties. Linking up the knowledge learnt with your daily lives would seem more interesting and useful. Let’s look for your distinctive life values!

請保持自信和開放的態度,趁著兩年時間好好重新認識自己、建立好屬於自己的價值觀。世界那麼大,除了做大學生,還有很多的路。HKU SPACE CC是一個提供很多升學就業機會的平台,請好好把握這些機會。若自覺是讀書的料子,請用盡全力專注學業,兩年內必定會有應得的回報。若發現自己並非讀書的料子,請盡快尋找自己的夢想和長處,向屬於自己的標竿直跑,不要浪費的時間。這就是我在HKU SPACE CC讀了兩年後的感想。

If there is one word that can precisely describe my two-year journey here, this must be "FRUITFUL". When I first entered this community college, I was in a state of self-denial due to the failure in public examination. Fortunately, HKU SPACE CC has provided a platform for me to self reflect and rethink my life goal. I feel thankful to have met many kind and helpful lecturers from social sciences domain. They helped me to go through a myriad of difficulties such as assignments and university interviews. It is also important to have mutual support from HKU SPACE CC friends in this fruitful journey. Besides, I have changed my own mindset and leant to think critically towards everything. I was acting like a robot at my secondary school years, such as just following everyone without my own critical judgment. Through studying sociology, I am equipped to think bigger. Not only focus on the individual but also to be aware of the outside world. Just because one never experiences it doesn't mean the outside world doesn't exist. I never say studying associate degree is the end of the story. Instead, it is a brand new chapter. Remember to have faith and everything will work out.

Today’s failure doesn’t mean tomorrow’s failure. Never look down on yourself. I thought it was just a failure for me to enter HKU SPACE CC, especially when most of my friends entered a local university. To be honest, the life in HKU SPACE CC is quite hard and stressful as there are a lot of assignments and projects. However, you can discover your passion and future goal with the help of teachers and fellow classmates. Love what you do is always the first step and the key to success. From the various social sciences courses which you have not exposed before, you will discover that studying is no longer boring or rote memorizing. It can be full of fun as you realize that social sciences can be so close to your daily life. At last, whether you can get back to university depends on how much effort you put and how much you love the thing you are doing. So, just persist with your goal and believe in yourself, and then you will!

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”. If you are enthusiastic about your studies in Social Sciences, HKU SPACE CC will be a cornerstone for you to achieve your goal.

Because of failure in public examination, I had low self-confidence and no hope towards my future. However, I experienced a turning point here. I started to study hard with passion, to become a committee member and speak publicly, and to believe in my ability. Definitely, I experienced moments of sorrow and fear. However, when you work hard, focus on the goals and keep moving on with perseverance, what you receive is far more than what you expect. I cherish memories of studying here. This is a journey of a lifetime. Let’s study hard, work hard and play hard. Believe yourself and you can do it.

The mode of study in HKU SPACE CC makes a big difference from that of secondary school. It gives us the skills required for future progression to university education.

After becoming a student of Social Sciences at HKU SPACE Community College, I can honestly say that I am glad that I failed HKALE. If I had been "lucky" enough to become a university student by the traditional route, I would currently be studying engineering and convincing myself that being engineer is well-paid and secure. However, I would never have had the chance to realize that my real passion lay in studying Social Sciences. After two years of study, the most important message I have received is to be curious and constructively critical. In doing so, I will gain academic advantages and bring benefit to my whole life.
