She has also been accepted by the University of Science and Technology of Bioengineering, CUHK Medical Engineering, and City University of Environmental Science and Engineering.

She is from India. Due to her father's work needs, the family moved to Hong Kong to live with her.

She recalled that she was only 10 years old when she came to Hong Kong and she only knew Hindi. At that time, her personality was relatively introverted and she felt "unacceptable" at one time. Fortunately, she gradually integrated into Hong Kong. During the interview, she was generous and spoke fluent English.

She shared that she missed the A-level in the UK three years ago, and her results were not as good as she expected. However, she failed to follow the mainstream and entered a local college and university. Instead, she spent a year exploring the way forward. "In this year of Gap Year, Makes me think clearly what I want."

She finally decided to "step up" with an associate degree, but there were more women in the engineering department. Gayathry admitted that she was under pressure at the beginning and worried that her grades would not be as good as those of her classmates. "Later, I found out that I was just worried about the world." The experience also made her worry about it. She was worried that she would repeat it again and again, but the teachers of the department followed the temptation and gave a lot of advice on her career path. Gayathry finally succeeded in accepting her favorite university. "I was very worried that I would be rejected Outside of the gates, if it were not for their encouragement, I would probably not try to sign up."

She is also grateful for her father's endless support. Although India is patriarchal, Gayathry's father is quite open-minded. "He often tells me that studying is not asking for scores", which is a strong backing.

Gayathry has been in Hong Kong for many years. She is fortunate that she has never encountered racial discrimination, but she is grateful that her classmates and teachers around her are very friendly and often lend a helping hand.

The decision to study in Hong Kong also reversed his fate.

Gayathry grew up in a small village in India. She pointed out that the education level of local women is still low. She also saw that many of her fellow villagers were married when they were young, and their lives would stop. "I think this is very unfair." My own experience encourages others, "I hope that the status quo can be changed, girls can read more, and the future is in their own hands."

Hope to contribute to India's healthcare system

She also mentioned that Indians are generally more conservative in thinking, and they also avoid doctors. Even if they are physically ill, they "will not consult a doctor." She hopes to advance to the field of public health, and hope that after success in learning, knowledge can be gained Give back to their hometown, "change their minds", and contribute to the Indian medical system.

Limited by the epidemic, some students choose online classes, but few students return to school for physical classes. Campus life is not as expected. She hopes that the global epidemic will be controlled as soon as possible, and she also looks forward to the opening of classes and welcoming college life.
