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.

回憶起就讀LIFE的那兩年,仍記憶猶新。因為來港求學的第一站便是嶺南大學持續進修學院,在安靜又舒適的環境下,不僅擴展了自己的知識儲備,還認識到了許多可愛的同學和可敬的老師們。在這兩年的學習中,收穫頗多,課程安排的合理有序,能夠在未來的學習或工作中得到很好的展示。感恩這兩年的所有經歷,讓我逐漸成長為一個更好的自己。「飲泉思其源,學成念吾師」,感謝對我給予過關心和幫助的老師們,未來我將帶著老師們的教誨和期望繼續前行。

首先,非常感謝LIFE所有老師們對我的教導。他們非常耐心,詳細解釋內容。LIFE的副學士課程提供全面的商學培訓,涵蓋行業的知識和理論,為升讀學士學位打好基礎,特別是營銷和信息系統管理,也有分析行業的趨勢等等。由於LIFE的副學士課程內容跟我目前於香港樹仁大學修讀的學士學位課程非常相近,對大部分課程內容都已有基本認識及基礎, 讓我的學習事半功倍,大大提高了學習效率。

在嶺南LIFE學習的光陰,一眨眼就過去了。記得當初剛加入LIFE時,只是單純為了提高學歷而來到這個地方。後來,在這裡,我認識到各位來自不同學科的老師,大家都非常和靄可親。除了專注傳授課堂知識外,也很願意用「說故事」的方式分享自身的經歷,務求為我們的人生帶來一些啟發。另外,參加暑期實習也令我獲益良多,這提供了我一個好機會走出舒適圈,嘗試一些從未遇過的挑戰,上司和同事的建議也讓我對未來的方向更清晰。總括而言,很感激這個地方讓我有了很大的成長!

”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.

在這兩年的校園生活中,很慶幸可以認識到一班良師益友。無論有什麼問題,老師都會詳細的幫我解答。老師們不僅負責,還很幽默,有時上課會講一些笑話來豐富課程, 當學生遇到課程內外的問題也都樂意幫忙,他們會主動關心學生是否跟得上進度,我可以感受到他們想幫助每一個學生的熱情。現在,即使我畢業了, 老師們也會關心我的近況並提供建議。畢業不到半年,便開始懷念嶺南LIFE的生活、朋友和老師。在此,感謝所有老師的教導。
