At Caritas Institute of Higher Education I met classmates who were willing to support and accept each other, and teachers who were enthusiastic to deliver knowledge and care for students wholeheartedly. Here is an institute where I could find warmth and caring.

Graduate of Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) - Psychology (2019)

Studying Master of Science in Educational Speech-Language Pathology and Learning Disabilities (EdUHK)

Few years ago, I never expected myself to be able to gain a bachelor’s degree. Thanks to a psychologist who introduced me to CIHE. I was a student with low self-esteem and always regard myself as a failure. But with the encouragement from my teachers and professors I met here, I managed to complete this journey successfully. Thank God that whenever I knelt down in the chapel and cried out for help, He comforted me. Thank every teacher I met, especially my professors from the psychology team, who have been willing to spend their life for the growth of students and guided us to the way of success.

Recalling of what I have learnt in my studies here, everything is applicable in both my life and my job. More than that, I got to know more about myself, rebuilt my own self-esteem, geared up and got ready to delicate my life for the needy.

Time flies, and all of us will continue on our own life journey. I am pursuing my study in the field of speech therapy, in which I may encounter many more new difficulties ahead. I believe I am ready in terms of preparation and confidence to deal with all new challenges. I look forward to make good contribution to the society and help more people in need in the future. “When life is too hard to stand, kneel.”
