HO Ka Wa, Bachelor of Science (Hons.)
I am writing with gratitude for being selected as a recipient of HKBU Alumni Gratitude Scholarship. After receiving the scholarship, it not only honors my academic results but also really reduces my financial pressure. This scholarship has enriched my university experience and encouraged me in different ways.
With the scholarship, I have been able to afford essential educational expenses, such as learning materials, reference books, and participation in extracurricular activities. These learning supports make it easier for me to follow the teaching progress in class, and also help me understand some extracurricular information and discover more. In other words, they help me solve different academic challenges, allows me to focus completely on my studies, and let me gain more experience on different aspects.
However, my university journey has not been without its challenges. For some subjects, I need to spend more time. Therefore, balancing academic study and my physical and mental health has been a constant struggle. Hence, time management has been important to me. After reflection, I believe that as long as I spend less time on other things with lower priority and learn to choose between options, the problem will get better.
When I plan for my future, the scholarship has not only provided me with financial support but also improved my confidence and determination. It has inspired me to pursue deeper studies that were once just dreams. My goal would be to contribute meaningfully to my field and to give back to the community in the kindness I have received.
Finally, I would like to express my deep thanks to the alumni donors and the university for their kindness and support. They help me a lot in studying and other areas. Hope other students can also be supported to solve their own problems and pursue their dreams.
