The experience of grappling with the challenges of a new learning environment in her first year at OUHK showed Peralta Jasmine Montanano the value of being highly adaptable. As a result, during her time at the University, she has made impressive progress in academic terms, besides building an extensive network of friends both on and outside the campus.<\/p>

\u201cInitially, I found that I had to make considerable adjustments to meet the requirements of university life, including the schedules and expectations of professors,\u201d says the Year 2 student. \u201cI also felt slightly nervous because I'm an English-speaking student on a primarily Cantonese-speaking campus.\u201d<\/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

Realising that adjusting to OUHK's curriculum and study schedules was partly a matter of stepping outside her comfort zone, she soon found her feet in what proved to be a stimulating learning environment. \u201cOnce I felt more assured, I began to focus on my goals.\u201d Montanano says.<\/p>

And that meant getting actively involved in a wide range of events and competitions to showcase her various talents. She has participated in a speech festival, drama club activities and a writing competition, winning compliments from the judges and achieving progressively better results.<\/p>

Being recognised as the best student of her School under the OUHK Outstanding Student Scholarship Scheme, Montanano, who aspires to become a teacher, is motivated to try even harder in her pursuit of academic excellence. \u201cWith this financial support, I want to take things to the next level by doing advanced studies, enhancing my skill set and getting broader experience.\u201d<\/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
