As a final-year student at PolyU, I am grateful that I have chosen occupational therapy as my major. I have realised that occupational therapy is a meaningful profession as it helps patients to achieve their potential and, through treatment activities, helps them return to their previous life roles. During my study, it has always been emphasised that occupational therapists should treat people holistically and care for both their psychosocial and physical health.

Although it was difficult to conduct practical lessons during the pandemic, lecturers utilised online platforms to arrange fieldwork visits and provide case videos for us so that we could develop a full picture of the occupational performance of the clients. In addition to academic and practical knowledge, I also had the opportunity to serve the community by assisting in treatment implementation for children with special education needs. This taught me how to communicate and build rapport with children. I also gained experience in research by joining the summer research studentship programme organised by the faculty. These experiences have helped me to become an well-rounded occupational therapist-to-be.

不知不覺間，我即將成為理工大學職業治療學系的四年級學生。回想前三年的學習，最令我印象深刻的是，教授經常強調我們要將每一個人視為一個整體，照顧病人的身體和心靈健康，協助他們重拾原本的生活。除了職業治療方面的知識，我更學懂如何與病人建立良好關係，成為一個具有同理心的治療師。另外，通過臨床實習及與病人互動和進行治療，我更能了解及欣賞職業治療的意義和重要性。

I am a Year 3 occupational therapist student. Time flies: I will graduate in the coming year. I am grateful to be studying towards a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Occupational Therapy at PolyU, as in addition to  learning foundational theory and practical skills, I am learning various healthy living skills, such as acupuncture, Baduanjin, and stretching exercises. These living skills are not only useful for reducing my everyday tiredness but are also helpful daily exercises that are performed by my family. The numerous student organisations and projects in the PolyU RS department also provide me with various extracurricular service opportunities. Furthermore, there are many ways to join overseas or Mainland exchange programmes, which have allowed me to broaden my horizons. Through these activities, I have been able to apply my theoretical and technical knowledge in clinical practice, which has enhanced my practical skills and prepared me to become an occupational therapist to serve clients.

我是職業治療學系的三年級學生，時間過得真快，明年我就畢業了。很榮幸能在理工大學修讀職業治療，除了學到基礎理論和實務技能，我更學會將所學運用於生活當中，如指壓、八段錦、拉伸運動等，這些技能不但能夠幫助我舒緩疲勞，還可以分享給家人作日常運動。此外，學系還有不同的學生組織和科研計劃，讓我在獲得體驗多元化課程及參與校外服務的寶貴經驗外，更有不少機會參與國內與境外的學生交流活動，把學到的理論和手法應用在真實個案上，從而獲益匪淺。

Studying occupational therapy at PolyU has affirmed my passion for enhancing the quality of life of the public. Throughout the 4-year program, I gained knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, OT theory and processes, and psychology and developmental dysfunction. These courses were essential to develop my fundamental clinical reasoning for analysing cases during the clinical placements. My hands-on experiences and therapeutic skills were also sharpened by participating in the tutorials, which enhanced my confidence and satisfaction when delivering treatments to patients.

The programme offers many opportunities, ranging from projects on the design of innovative assistive devices and NGO visits to "We Care We Share" service-learning projects, which allow us to apply and consolidate the knowledge that we have learned in classes. As an OT-to-be, I cherish my time in this programme, as I am surrounded by knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive teachers; interact with patients who give me advice; and my friendly classmates, who work with me on the projects and in studying for exams.

時間飛逝，我已在理工大學完成四年的職業治療課程。修讀期間，我有幸參與學校提供的各式學習機會，例如參觀不同的學校和醫院、海內外交流活動、創新科技比賽等等，這些都讓我獲益良多。儘管近年因疫情轉成線上學習，有賴教授和助教老師們的通力合作，提供了豐富的線上學習資源，讓我們可於家中進行全方位學習。在實習過程中，我亦充份體會職業治療師在提升患者生活質素和重投社會上的重要性，令我深切地感受到這是一個具挑戰同時也富有使命感的行業。
