A year studying at Lingnan University MHSM prgogramme is undoubtedly an eventful one. MHSM not only has course instructors explaining basic knowledge to us, but also provides various offline visits and academic activities. For example, we visited the Jockey Club Smart Ageing Hub at Lingnan University and Polytechnic University, and participated several social work activities in nursing homes, which allowed us to combine knowledge with practical applications. The two academic seminars Interdisciplinary Learning and LU-HKSTP Gerontechnology Symposiusm expanded my academic horizons and added many new ideas to my study and research. One Day Tour in Kat O Island allowed me to see the pleasant side of life in Hong Kong.
After graduation, I chose to stay at Lingnan University. MHSM programme at Lingnan University not only improved my knowledge, but also gave me clear goals for my future personal development.

This year in the Lingnan MHSM programme brought many new experiences. Despite brief class times, I've grown immensely. The "course paper" experience, from topic selection to independent completion under teacher guidance, differs notably from undergraduate studies, emphasizing self-reliance. This compensated for my regrets from my undergraduate years.
This challenging year led me to document my life as a YouTuber, securing my first job post-graduation. Although different from my studies, critical thinking skills from graduate school facilitated rapid career progress. Engaging in school-organized activities enriched my social experience. Participating in the "Alternative Coffee Experience Activity" during summer provided a unique perspective on coffee and fair trade, concluding my academic journey successfully.
In summary, this year at Lingnan marks a significant milestone in my life, transitioning from academia to professional career.

透过在岭南大学健康与社会服务管理社会科学硕士（MHSM）专业学习，我不仅掌握了健康与社会服务相关的知识，也拓展了我的视野与能力。在这个专业中，我学习了多方面的理论知识，包括健康服务管理、社会服务管理、社会政策、医疗伦理、中医与西方医学的比较等。我了解了在社会服务中，运用中医知识帮助长者预防疾病及强身健体的重要性和方法。我还透过学习乐龄科技产品，理论联系实践去拜访了老人，感受到了社会服务的实际意义和挑战。我认为最重要的是我透过学习，感受到了课程很重视培训我们的管理团队能力，增进了我的沟通技巧、协作能力和创新思维，为我毕业后在岭南大学校友关系组工作奠定了很大的基础。
在校期间，我也积极参与学校举办的各种活动，展现了我的社会责任感和领导力。我热衷于做志愿服务，参加过残障人马拉松比赛的志愿者，为残障人士提供陪伴和支持；新年将近时，我也主动参与义工服务为长者送去新年礼包和祝福，让他们感受到温暖和关爱。在校期间，我获得了香港赛马会乐龄科技社区关怀行动青年大使的荣誉，这是对我在乐龄科技方面的贡献和努力的认可。我也是我的导师在深圳大学与岭南大学合作计画的学生助手，协助导师进行资料收集和分析，提升了我的研究能力。此外，我也是MHSM班级的学生代表，负责班级的事务和活动，同时也是香港岭南大学研究生会宣传部部长，负责研究生会的宣传和推广工作，增强了我的组织能力和影响力。
我认为在岭南大学这一年硕士为我带来了很多收获和成长，让我成为了一个更全面、更优秀的人。由于本科在内地，我的英语并不是非常的流利，但是透过在岭南大学的博雅教育环境下，老师引导我们积极发言，勇于创新，于是我的英语能力逐渐提高，我的思维也更加开阔和灵活。现在成为一名工作者，我也能够非常适应英语、粤语的工作环境，并与不同的人和团队进行有效的沟通和合作。
感谢岭南大学MHSM专业，让我能够硕士毕业后留在香港取得一份稳定的工作，让我有机会在健康与社会服务领域发挥我的专业知识和技能，为社会做出贡献。我会继续努力，不忘初心，不断学习、进步，成为一个更好的自己。
