Emphasizing the vocation’s profound sense of purpose, she highlighted the need for continuous learning and conviction to realize self value while serving others.
A standout moment was the heartfelt sharing by Ms. Lam, who expressed gratitude for the impact of social work services on her life. Her personal stories gave students a deeper understanding of how their future roles could tangibly transform lives, inspiring them to uphold a service-oriented mindset.
The event was met with enthusiastic participation, as students actively engaged with the speakers through questions and discussions, gaining invaluable insights.
