SZE Hiu-hei, Corliss (Public Health)

Recipient of Student Exemplary Award 2020-21

As a public health student, I initiated a health promotion programme called “The COVID-19 Junior Warriors Academy” for primary school students in 2020 to enhance their awareness of COVID-19. The health promotion programme offers me an opportunity to contribute to the society by working with people from different disciplines and professions. I hope I can help the people in-need with the knowledge that I have learnt from my major.

I was never a high score achiever before getting into university. I remember when I didn’t achieve good results in my public examination, one of my teachers told me “When you look back to all the things you have gone through after the years, you will find that all the obstacles and the time you spent are necessary to achieve your goal. I have struggled, failed and lost hope but the one thing I did not do is giving up. “ It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
