AK Lam
Hi guys, this is AK from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I am currently a year two student majoring in Civil Engineering. Many people say that there is no connection between engineering and women, especially for civil engineers, they mainly work on sites, it must be tough for girls. Yet, I love seeing concrete things, like buildings and also the applications of science, theory and reading long passages are never my cup of tea. So, I chose engineering. Luckily, I stuck to my own thought, and now enjoying my wonderful life as an engineering student.
It is always one of my happiest moment to see people smile after receiving help from me or others, that’s the reason why I do voluntary works, like organizing an events for people to understand the feelings of blind people, however, this isn’t enough, these works are like short-term or even one-time work, I am looking for some works that can last longer and target at the social problems which affect lots of people. To do that, I have to come up with some innovative ways that work better than the current approaches. I hope that I can get some inspirations and friends with mutual thoughts via the program.
If talking about my hobby, it must be joining various activities, from indoor to outdoor. To be honest, I am not sure how much do I know about myself, it is very interesting to find a “hidden” me when stepping out my comfort zone, like when I was a secondary school student, I joined an Outward Bound Program which required me to climb for 8 days without taking shower, money and phone, it was harsh but worthwhile, because I found myself with unlimited potentials in new environments, this just encourages me to step out of my comfort zone!
I am sure we are all passionate about improving those social problems that we are facing now, in the program, I wish we can share our ideas on the problem to inspire others, and find someone with similar thoughts to take actions. Most importantly, we can grow, learn and start the journey of being the changemaker!
If I had unlimited money, I would first to broaden myself by visiting the social enterprises all round the world to learn from them, then to gather those who would like to change the society and set up social enterprises in different countries starting by Hong Kong to solve what they are facing in order to make a better world!
Guys, let’s explore and have fun together in August!
