"Teacher is a model for the world", a saying quoted by my secondary school teacher when she learnt that I would be pursuing a degree in Chinese education. I have been dedicated to becoming a caring and passionate educator since then. The curriculum at CUHK is both rich and diverse; the courses in the Chinese department allow me to explore a vast sea of knowledge, while those in the Education faculty have helped me understand the responsibilities and challenges that teachers face. Thanks to this varied and supportive learning environment, we aspiring teachers are better equipped to succeed.
Being one of the CUHKers has also provided me with numerous opportunities to engage in various activities. The vibrant events at Shaw College offer students many chances to showcase our talents and broaden our horizons. I am grateful to be one of the organisers in Shawlane at Shaw College and I am also a member of the resident association at Kuo Mou Hall. I have built meaningful friendships and enhanced different skills, such as social skill, planning skill and so on through these college activities. As someone who has experienced this journey, I sincerely encourage all the freshmen not to set limitations on yourself; during this dynamic period of youth, seize the opportunity to participate in different activities—you may discover new facets of yourself and create lasting memories.
Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to Shaw College for providing a wealth of opportunities and support, which have allowed me to thrive during my university years. My time at Shaw College will undoubtedly be a significant and colourful chapter in my life. I encourage all freshmen to embrace the university experience and explore it fully without fear!
