From an early age, I have always had a philanthropic approach to life, especially in
the field of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. The curiosity began as I was four when I was
told my own story of birth. During my painful birth: I was stuck in the birth canal
and could not be delivered. The continuous loss of amniotic fluid suffocated me
to the verge of death. In a flash, the surgeon injected anaesthetic into my mothers
body and decisively performed a Caesarean Section. I was deeply mesmerized
by this miracle of life, especially the complexity and mightiness of the female
reproductive system, which my mother had demonstrated in her quintessential
motherhood during my birth. I would therefore like to assist every mother in her
delivery. It is gratifying to see this intimate moment when she firstly encounters the
anticipated baby who grows day by day. Being a naturally compassionate person, I
find a medical career very rewarding.
To further my insight in the medical field, I actively participated in other co-

curricular activities to further stimulate my persistent refinement in this respect.On

a more practical level, my work as a first-aider with the St. John Ambulance
Brigade Cadet in school has expanded my confidence in taking up responsibility
for casualties. Through the guidance and interactions provided by my teachers, I
discovered myself to be an eminently practical person. I am a perfectionist in that
I will always pursue my very best in every assignment and project. Schedules and
rules are also crucial for me as I consider good time management and discipline
essential in ones work and daily life. This personality enables me to finish my work
in an effective and orderly way.
All for one, one for All is my school motto which I have steadfastly followed in. I
must express my heartfelt gratitude to the school for not only shaping me in how to
become a student academically, but also a better person. In the arduous way ahead,
the guidance of my alma mater will remain the most precious asset I ever have and
will ever possess.

Entering medical school is an important step in achieving my dream to be a

medical doctor. I set up this goal when I was in Form 3. I firmly believe that
being a doctor involves not merely helping your patients physically, but also
healing them mentally, bringing them hope and inspiration. Always aim for the
Moon, even if you miss, you will land among the stars. W. Clement Stone said. Dont
be afraid to chase your dreams, no matter how wild they may seem.

Time flies and the days of being a secondary student and wandering around Munsang
seem like yesterday. I am already a university student now and I am grateful to be given
the precious chance to study the HKU MBBS program that I have always aspired to. I must
thank our principal and teachers for their guidance all these years that have made me who
I am today. There are also a few words to share with my fellow schoolmates.
Enjoy your secondary school life and leave no regret. You are going to miss your friends
when the DSE comes. So, be thankful and treasure every moment, as secondary life will not
happen twice. The second thing is dare to dream. Doubtless, I am a successful example of
transforming a dream into reality. Entering the University of HK School of Medicine seems
too far to reach for many secondary students. Somehow it turns out to be a miracle. Try
imagining, what would happen if I did not dare to put JS 6456 into my Jupas list? We have
to display gumption in chasing dreams. As my medical preceptor says: Always aim for the
moon, even if you miss, youll land among the stars. Try and leave no regret.

The DSE journey was long and bumpy. Hardship and failures constantly baffled
me and shook my confidence. However, repeated trials told me that hard work
does pay off. Therefore, bearing in mind that there must be light at the end of
the tunnel, I kept struggling by trying my very best. Ultimately, I achieved my
goal. Though the challenges were at times overwhelming and daunting, it was
an invaluable experience which has transformed me into be a stronger and more
hard-working person. I have also learnt that without tasting the bitterness of
hard work, I will not be able to enjoy the sweet fruit of success. I am glad that I
have finally reached my destination with inspirations and new thoughts.

Wherewords fail,music speaks.

Music allows me to see the world
from different perspectives, listen
to the many voices of society, and
create dialogues on social issues
t h at shou ld not b e l i m ited to
words.
For a long time, pursuing a music
career seemed like an unreachable
dream to me. As I approached the
end of my secondary school life,
pr e s su r e wa s mou nt i ng on me
to pursue what are perceived as
traditionally prestigious subjects
such as law and medicine. With
the understanding and support of
my family, pursuing a career in
music is no longer a dream, but a
reachable goal through hard work
and unwavering determination.

After I received my HKDSE results on July 14, I
knew that I could choose many good subjects,
such as medicine and actuarial science. However, I
still chose to study Natural Science, a subject that
is not endeared to many.
B e c au s e o f t h e h ig h ly c omp e t it ive n at u r e o f
u n iversit y places i n Hong Kong, st udent s not
performing well in the examination are usually
limited to choices with lower admission scores.
What bothers me is that when a student performs
well in a public examination, sometimes he will
also limit his choices by only considering universit y programmes with high
admission scores. If that is the case, what is the point of performing well in the
examination if we are to limit our choices anyway? Is it only to get better-paid
jobs? Does money really take such an important role in ones life? In my opinion,
personal interest should take first priority in considering my study path as long as
I believe I have the ability to succeed in that field, no matter how success is defined.
I believe that all fields have their career paths and personal interest, instead of
money, should guide our way. I do not want to be rich but regret my choice of
career. I chose Science because I like Science. That is it.
