Tiffany was a candidate of 2023 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination. She achieved excellent results with five subjects scoring 5** and one subject scoring 5*. She has been a recipient of the "Academic Award Scheme" Outstanding Award multiple times. During early childhood, she was diagnosed with having Ventricular Septal Defect and regular hospital check-ups and ultrasounds were required to monitor her heart condition. About her personal growth experiences, Tiffany shared that she is a disciplined and organized student, and these qualities have played an important role in her studies. "I attended an ordinary local primary school when I was young, and when I entered secondary school, I successfully gained admission to a prestigious traditional school with English as the primary language of instruction. I knew I had to work hard to catch up with the learning progress."

 

Tiffany describes herself as a long-distance runner, achieving excellent results by steadily moving forward with perseverance. "After entering high school, I started preparing for the exam. I reviewed my studies every day starting from the beginning of F.6. Doing revision doesn't mean studying under pressure in a closed room. I set goals for myself every week and then allocate daily tasks to systematically practice and try to cultivate an interest in learning."

 

Beyond academics, Tiffany also participated actively in volunteer service. She served as the president of the Service Community Club, providing tutoring and organizing fun days for children in different community centers. Her desire to help others has also sparked her consideration of becoming a doctor. "As I have been regularly visiting hospitals for check-ups since childhood, the medical profession is not unfamiliar to me. During high school, I also enjoyed reading various medical-related information. Seeing that doctors can identify diseases through different symptoms and case studies and find out the treatment plans, I find this work very meaningful."

 

Currently, Tiffany is attending the first year in the Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school. Regarding her future development, she hopes to expose herself to a variety of experiences. "Broadening my horizons is the learning goal I have set for myself in these six years." Tiffany also encourages other children with congenital heart disease not to set limits for themselves and to strive slowly but steadily towards their aspirations, believing that one day they will achieve their dreams.
