在 LIFE 的兩年時光,讓我收穫頗豐。從前的我性格十分內向,不敢主動和老師溝通交流。但 LIFE 的老師們都格外親和,每當我遇到問題前去請教,他們總能放下身段耐心給予幫助,讓我感覺他們更像是身邊可以信賴的朋友。除此之外,在 LIFE 的兩年間,我也學到了許許多多寶貴的知識與經驗。每個學期,LIFE 都會組織豐富多彩的活動供同學們參與。在各類活動當中,我不再局限于書本學習,擁有了大量實踐和展示自我的機會,也慢慢變得更加開朗自信,拓寬了眼界,結識了不少志同道合的夥伴。

My two years at Lingnan have been a rewarding period of my student life.
During this time, I have not only made academic progress but also received abundant kindness and encouragement from those around me. My classmates have supported one another and progressed together.
The teachers are professional, responsible, and warm hearted. They pay close attention to students’ learning experience and offer thoughtful, reliable advice on students’ future development.
With all these gains, I have built greater courage to face the future.

“Life is like a box of chocolates.” I am profoundly impressed by my one-year academic journey at LIFE, where I met many extraordinary lecturers. I was deeply engaged by their excellent courses and encouraged by their consistent support. They carefully shaped my academic path as well as helped me solidify my knowledge in every field…
In addition, I was fortunate to meet a group of enthusiastic and ambitious friends. I still remember every day we tackled challenges together, supporting and encouraging one another, comforting each other when someone was down; we shared our joy as we made progress…
Yet, I am not ready to say goodbye!

During these two years spent at LIFE, I have learned a great deal of professional knowledge in business management. The comprehensive curriculum has equipped me with a solid foundation in areas such as finance, marketing, organizational behavior, and Human Resources Management. Additionally, LIFE has provided me with valuable internship opportunities, which have given me practical experience in both banking and business management. Through these internships, I have been able to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations, develop my problem-solving skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the industry. These experiences have not only enhanced my technical abilities but also improved my communication, teamwork, and leadership skills. Overall, my time at LIFE has been instrumental in preparing me for a successful career in the business world.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the teachers. Thanks to their patience and responsiveness, I have successfully built a solid foundation during my first year of studies. Coming from a secondary school background without any prior business education, I initially felt overwhelmed by the prospect of tackling the rigorous business curriculum at Lingnan. I was concerned that without that foundational knowledge, maintaining good grades would be nearly impossible. However, the reality turned out to be quite the opposite.
In addition to the highly motivating classroom environment, LIFE offers numerous opportunities for students to learn beyond the classroom, such as internship workshops and various projects. These experiences have significantly broadened my horizons, allowing me to apply the concepts I've learned and deepen my understanding of the material.

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.
