Ms Ruby Kwok, a year two student of BSc (Hons) in PT programme is selected to receive the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) Scholarship funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (the Trust). The Scholarships reward outstanding students, known as JC Scholars, for their intellect, character, leadership qualities and commitment to service. A Scholarship Secretariat has been set up to provide the Scholars with opportunities for learning, personal development and social service. It endeavours to help them become future community leaders. Ruby has the following sharing to receive this scholarship:
“First of all, it is my great honour to receive this prestigious award. And I must thank my family and teachers for their unconditional love and care as well as their time and energy to nurture my intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. On top of that, I must also express my deepest gratitude towards the school for giving me countless opportunities to explore myself and the world, and work towards being an all-rounded individual. Without their guidance and selfless care, I would not be able to blossom so vigorously today.
Besides, this award reminds me to equip myself with different skills so that I can grab every opportunity in the coming future. More importantly, instead of just considering what I can receive from this community, I always remind myself to actively contribute to the community, spreading my love to people around me especially the disadvantaged group. Lastly, as a future physiotherapist, I hope I can utilize my knowledge and skills to enhance people’s physical health.”
