Fok Pei Hang hopes to work for a major financial institution with a multicultural workforce, and she believes that winning this award has helped her take a big step in the right direction. It enabled her to join the ”Global Immersion Programme \u2013 Australia (Sydney) Study Tour” in January 2020, a programme organised by her School to provide students with opportunities for international business environment exposure, and get vital exposure to a different culture.<\/p>

The trip also proved meaningful in terms of Fok's personal growth. Instead of focusing on such popular topics as animal welfare, her team chose instead to explore the lives of a small group of people neglected by others in an affluent city.<\/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

\u201cFor the two-week programme, we focused our research on homeless people living rough in places like subway stations,\u201d Fok says. \u201cWe were surprised that the homeless problem is quite serious in a prosperous and picturesque city like Sydney. This was an eye-opening experience that improved our knowledge and understanding of the social issues facing some advanced economies.\u201d<\/p>

Fok was delighted to receive the award, which recognises her efforts to achieve academic excellence. Looking back over the multiple challenges of the past year, including learning at home and a substantial amount of independent study, Fok believes she overcame each one successfully, and the resulting sense of achievement has boosted her self-confidence.<\/p>

''The video lectures and tutorials conducted online really tested my self-discipline because there are distractions at home,\u201d she says. \u201cNevertheless, I adapted and made the most of them. Fortunately, our group projects were not disrupted, even though the campus was closed. My team was still able to spend a lot of time working at the university library. We also found ways to motivate each other to study and do revision in preparation for the exams.\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
