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.

透過在嶺南大學健康與社會服務管理社會科學碩士（MHSM）專業學習，我不僅掌握了健康與社會服務相關的知識，也拓展了我的視野與能力。在這個專業中，我學習了多方面的理論知識，包括健康服務管理、社會服務管理、社會政策、醫療倫理、中醫與西方醫學的比較等。我了解了在社會服務中，運用中醫知識幫助長者預防疾病及強身健體的重要性和方法。我還透過學習樂齡科技產品，理論聯繫實踐去拜訪了老人，感受到了社會服務的實際意義和挑戰。我認為最重要的是我透過學習，感受到了課程很重視培訓我們的管理團隊能力，增進了我的溝通技巧、協作能力和創新思維，為我畢業後在嶺南大學校友關係組工作奠定了很大的基礎。
在校期間，我也積極參與學校舉辦的各種活動，展現了我的社會責任感和領導力。我熱衷於做志願服務，參加過殘障人馬拉鬆比賽的志願者，為殘障人士提供陪伴和支持；新年將近時，我也主動參與義工服務為長者送去新年禮包和祝福，讓他們感受到溫暖和關愛。在校期間，我獲得了香港賽馬會樂齡科技社區關懷行動青年大使的榮譽，這是對我在樂齡科技方面的貢獻和努力的認可。我也是我的導師在深圳大學與嶺南大學合作計畫的學生助手，協助導師進行資料收集和分析，提升了我的研究能力。此外，我也是MHSM班級的學生代表，負責班級的事務和活動，同時也是香港嶺南大學研究生會宣傳部部長，負責研究生會的宣傳和推廣工作，增強了我的組織能力和影響力。
我認為在嶺南大學這一年碩士為我帶來了很多收穫和成長，讓我成為了一個更全面、更優秀的人。由於本科在內地，我的英語並不是非常的流利，但是透過在嶺南大學的博雅教育環境下，老師引導我們積極發言，勇於創新，於是我的英語能力逐漸提高，我的思維也更加開闊和靈活。現在成為一名工作者，我也能夠非常適應英語、粵語的工作環境，並與不同的人和團隊進行有效的溝通和合作。
感謝嶺南大學MHSM專業，讓我能夠碩士畢業後留在香港取得一份穩定的工作，讓我有機會在健康與社會服務領域發揮我的專業知識和技能，為社會做出貢獻。我會繼續努力，不忘初心，不斷學習、進步，成為一個更好的自己。
