Lee Cheuk Lam, Year 1 Student of BA(Lang Studies) (2020/21), 2020/21 Recipient of AIA Scholarships
This semester is just over. It seems like just yesterday that I was having my first lesson in The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) via Zoom. Upon the completion of this semester, I have not only gained academic knowledge, but also gained many new friendships. Frankly speaking, my overall experience as a year one student has been interesting. I have been involved in various activities and carried out certain duties this year.
For instance, I have taken part in a scheme called “Befriending Visit (Hospital Wards) 2020/21”, which aims to offer support to patients at the beginning of the semester. Through regular meetings with patients, I had plenty of opportunities to talk with them and realise the hardship, needs and wants they face during illness. Understanding how others feel enables me to find out what others need, and try to provide assistance to those who have difficulties. Every time I visited, my enthusiasm for community service motivated me to serve. Serving allows me to reach my potential and identify my own personal values related to community service.
Apart from this, I am glad to be selected as a recipient of “AIA Scholarships” in 2020/21 Semester 2. Being awarded this scholarship gives me affirmation of my track record of academic excellence and community service. Furthermore, the scholarship makes a great contribution to my study in EdUHK, as well as empowers me to fulfil my dreams by reducing financial concerns. It means a fortune for me. Thus, I will strive to achieve my career goals.
To conclude, I have become more independent and mature throughout this year. I learnt to take responsibility for the choices I made in my life as well as to handle difficult things calmly without getting lost. I believe that these elements have laid a solid foundation for my pursuit in university study.
