I remember I started studying at HKU SPACE Community College with a sense of inferiority, feeling incapable of advancing into a higher degree. However, with the dedicated and supportive teaching from professional teachers at the college, I realized I could become a better person if I endeavoured myself to be. Our lecturers didn't treat us as losers but as potential warriors ready to fight our way to a brighter future. All that I learnt from the college enabled me to enter a local university as a senior year student and graduated with First-class Honours. Now that I am studying a Postgraduate Diploma in Education to equip myself to become a teacher, which has always been my dream job, I do think that my two-year study at the college was an indispensable part of what made me a better and more mature person today. It has been one of the most fruitful experiences of my life. A detour path won't make us less competitive. It's the experience we gain that counts - failures make us grow, setbacks make us stronger, and learning to deal with them can make a huge difference. View Details

Studying at the Community College was originally an inconvenient experience, due to the long-lasting misunderstandings of the public. Yet, for me, the education provided by the AA Japanese Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC was as good as that by most, if not all undergraduate programmes. Japanese Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC provided me with not only intensive Japanese language training, which made me well-prepared for the one-year exchange programme at The University of Tokyo during my undergraduate studies, but also courses that helped me build up a strong theoretical foundation to deal with the rigorous academic courses at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Although I have shifted my focus on Japanese Studies to Sinophone Studies and critical theories after entering the university, the classes I attended at HKU SPACE CC did enable me to ponder on my studies in one more dimension. I owe an arigato gozaimasu (thank you in Japanese) to my Japanese teachers, and all the instructors who enlightened me when I was still struggling with a university degree. I cannot say they are better than those at the university, but they are good enough to help you start your academic journey. View Details

一時失意非窮途。當年考場失意，我來到了港大附屬學院。遭遇失敗，可選擇自我放棄；或是發奮圖強。可幸我選了後者。在這兩年，有賴各位講師的照顧，和悉心的教導，鼓勵我重新振作。學習不再是單向的灌輸，更著重思考以及討論，而各位講師亦願意成為同學的指路明燈。跟著明燈，一步一足印的走過，才發現失意，不可怕，可怕的是失去走下去的意志。很感激能遇上一群戰友，相互扶持。亦很感激講師讓我們知道即便磨礪艱辛，雪霜淩厲而見殺，不改是本性。故此勉言諸君一定要堅持不懈。 View Details

記得一位老師說過：「走一條較遠的路不一定是壞的。」的而且確，入讀副學士不能保證你一定升讀大學，但這是一個機會。 在港大附屬學院這兩年，我讀過了一些中國語言文學的課程，例如經典文獻選讀、文學評論和語法學等等，打好了基礎，彷彿增添了一份文人的氣息。感謝附屬學院的每位講師，他們有着滿腔熱誠和深厚的文學根柢、知識，給予學生優質的教學。他們會耐心地回答你關於功課和升學的提問。所以我可以保證，中文組裡的都是數一數二的好老師。 除了講師，我亦想感謝一班有着共同目標的同學和朋友，我很慶幸能遇到一班投契的朋友進而建立一段長久的友誼。我亦不時懷念當時一起溫習、互相幫忙和為目標而奮鬥的時光。 現在我就讀於城市大學中文系三年級。我慶幸當年選擇了就讀港大附屬學院而非重讀。 希望大家亦有一段美好的時光，共勉之。 View Details

也許「太空」每個專業的學生比大學少而且也較參差，所以「太空」的講師在課程編排上因應學生水平調整，大學則著重自主學習，比較害羞的學生如我，其實更適合在「太空」上課。 「太空」和大學最大分別在於有種成長的感覺，有些人說「太空」只是一個浪費的過程，但上到大學後，會發現「太空」所學如寫論文、小組研習等，經歷過「太空」之後基礎會十分扎實，在大學課程上毫不吃力。所以，在「太空」學習也是成長過程，不必妄自菲薄，別將此當成人生最後的失敗點。 View Details

在DSE放榜後，我選擇入讀港大附屬學院，主修中國語文。副學士感覺上比不上大學，所以當初我都不太願意告訴身邊的人我在讀副學士。 但成功入大學後，回想以前的時光才是最好的。副學士的同學，每位都有一顆奮鬥的心，大家會一起用心地做好每份功課。而每位講師都很用心去教導，並樂於幫助我們。 大學的生活與副學士生活完全不同，大學的生活更忙碌，功課更多。但正因為經過兩年副學士的磨練，會更容易銜接大學的生活。副學士為我帶來不少珍貴的回憶，成績並不代表一切，珍惜每一個時刻，留下珍貴的回憶才是最重要。 View Details
