Student's Description:<\/p>

This flash fiction explores themes of self-doubt, thankfulness, and personal reflection. It is a personal story that depicts the feeling of pressure and overwhelmingness from waning to perfect every tasks, which sometimes become too stressful to handle. MU's constant support (like giving out all-rounded opportunities) and motto \u201cMe&U beyond limits\u201d also helped Rory remember her story. Although she still finds herself juggling between tasks a lot, her small remembrance of her story reflects her growth of someone who is a hardcore perfectionist to someone who tries to appreciate the little things.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Taking a deep breath, Rory crosses \u201cGroup Presentation Prep\u201d from her schedule. It was already 12:14am and she has class at 9am the next day. (Well…today.)<\/em><\/p>

\u201cMaybe I should start making a study plan. Or start Assignment 2 of my Business course. Or Assignment 1 for my English Enhancement course. Oh!<\/em> I forgot about the mini-test for tomorrow's marketing lecture. Its okay… I'll look through it in the bus. AH!<\/em> And my artwork for my club. And the…\u201d<\/p>

Breathe\u2026<\/em><\/p>

All this stress was a dream at one point. And that dream? She is living in it. That stress? A testament that she will fight for that dream.<\/p>

Everywhere she looked, there was always a message: This is not the end & The sky's the limit.<\/em><\/p>

Even in the midst of worry and trepidation, she is learning to remember her starting point and the concept of boundless possibilities, thanks to HKMU.<\/p>

It was a matter of perspective. Daunting tasks? No. Opportunities. <\/em><\/p>

\u201cBut in order to see these opportunities, the first step is to dream beyond limits. Only then, can you work hard for it. Thank you so much, HKMU.\u201d<\/em> she exclaims.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
