Wong Tung Fai 2016-2018 Associate of Business Administration (Year 2) (Applied Economics Theme)

Studying at HKU SPACE CC was undoubtedly the most memorable experience in my life. After encountering setbacks in public exam, HKU SPACE CC gave me the second chance to reach my goals. Life is full of ups and downs. HKDSE results may not truly represent your abilities and exertions. In HKU SPACE CC, your efforts will always pay off. You should not be hindered by the difficulties and now it’s time to move on again. It is your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude. View Details

Studying in HKU SPACE Community College is the first important decision ever in my life that I have made in which I love every second studying here. These include the nervous moments when rushing for project deadlines and the last-minutes before going into the exam venue. After all, I am grateful for a lot of things and people in here. I appreciate the people I met in the college. Although it may sound cliché, lecturers are patient and helpful as for our learning progress. Whenever I ask for help in academics or in future career, they always offer help and insights that help me solve my problems and improve myself. Special thanks go to our subject leader Dominic Cheng and college principal professor L.S. Chan. I cannot imagine how much less I would achieve without you two’s help. All of my 18 classmates are friendly and smart. They always surprise me with excellent ideas I have never thought of. Speaking of classmates, it definitely includes our alumni friends especially Amon and his teammates for helping us through tough subjects and tough days. Isaac Newton once said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”, and these people are the giants I am grateful for. Thinking out-of-the-box is something easier to say than to do. In my 2-year journey, we have been challenged by lecturers to keep asking them questions. In shell programming class, capture the flag (CTF) activities are breath-taking and fun. You should not have known the fastest way to solve programming challenges is by Microsoft Excel until it is done by your friend Peter sitting next to you. This kind of active learning atmosphere made me overcome my fear of failure which has been built over my life and started enjoying studying and programming. These are the lessons I will never forget, and they change my way of thinking forever. Hardworking has been proven as an important factor in personal success. But the term ‘hardworking’ is scary at first glance. ‘Hard’ and ‘Working’ are usually conceptualized into negative feelings. Some people describe me as a hardworking student because I get satisfactory GPA. However, my close friends and myself are all acknowledged that it is not the truth. I am just a curious person who recognizes that I know nothing at all. I am also a lucky person who figures out my interests in HKU SPACE CC and I hope everyone reading this story do so. I believe the right word is ‘enjoyment’. And I wish you have the best time learning here and enjoy every moment just like I did. View Details

Lee Cheong Wang, Jacky 2013-14 Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology (Computer Engineering) Year 2

After failing the public examination, my ideal study path to study in local university was broken. HKU SPACE CC provided a chance for me to pursue high level education, and also helped me discover my interest in computing. At the beginning I was scared because I haven’t studied any computing subjects before. Later I found that it is not a problem as the programme structure is designed from easy to hard, even a beginner can follow as long as you want to learn. In addition, the lecturers are so friendly and helpful that they are always happy to answer our questions. I am extremely grateful to the lecturers who have helped me a lot in my study. Now I have been trained to be capable of developing application programmes and solving computer problems. Most importantly, there is a chance for me to study in university. HKU SPACE CC is a place for me to get familiar with the study mode in university, and also a place of self-affirmation. View Details

When there is a will, there is a way. Don't be discouraged solely by the public examination. Believe in yourself as you are so much stronger than you think.

Moreover, lecturers are student-orientated and enthusiastic in offering help. I really appreciate that I have achieved several breakthroughs and gained valuable personal growth in CC.
