As a biomedical science student, I enjoy acquiring scientific knowledge and I appreciate the complexity of the human body. Apart from basic science, I also explored the applications of biomedical science, such as disease prevention and the development of diagnostic tests as well as novel therapies. The founding aspiration of Shaw College, “learning, innovation, and benefitting humankind”, has reminded me of the purpose of learning. While striving for academic excellence, I also aim to apply my biomedical knowledge and contribute to society. Therefore, I hope I can become a biomedical scientist and develop novel therapies in the future, with the view of brining hope to patients.
Shaw students are like stem cells, which have the potential to develop into various kind of specialized cells under enough support and favourable environment. During our undergraduate studies, Shaw College has provided a number of programmes and scholarships, covering different aspects including academic performance, exchange, student activities, to name yet a few. In addition, the facilities in Shaw College, such as band room, fitness room and basketball court, support our extracurricular activities. With the support from Shaw College, Shaw students can explore different fields and develop various skills according to our own interest and strength. I am grateful for the resources from Shaw College, which have greatly supported me throughout my undergraduate studies.
