LIFE is my first stop studying in Hong Kong after graduated from secondary school. Here I met many amiable teachers and like-minded friends, which enabled me to overcome many difficulties and obstacles in Hong Kong. In the past two years, I have not only completed a leap in my studies, but also established the direction of personal development. The enrichment of the activities and courses in LIFE enriched my knowledge and broadened my horizons. I am grateful to the teachers who offered lots of care and help to me. All the things that they teach me have been deep-rooted in my mind, which will always be a force in my path forward.

”No pain no gain”. During the two years of my studies at LIFE, I have met a lot of teachers and friends. I am very fortunate to have such a good learning environment, which allows me to improve myself steadily. The Associate Degree programme is different from those in secondary school with a teacher to guide you all the time. Since we will encounter
difficulties and problems, we should not be shy to ask for advice from teachers and classmates. We can learn from anyone. We can learn from the people around us to improve ourselves. We have to keep learning and achieve excellent results. Thank you to every teacher and classmate I have met in LIFE in the past two years. All of you made me grow up and made me who I am today.
