LEAVING home to attend secondary school abroad was a big step for me. I had never really seen myself going abroad so early in life. Yet, the opportunity to study at a United World College (UWC) was too special to forego. I made the choice to go.
Li Po Chun (LPC) UWC of Hong Kong is located in the relatively more peaceful surroundings of the New Territories. The college campus commands a beautiful view of Tolo Harbour on one side and a majestic view of Ma On Shan mountain on the other. Quite a different picture from the Hong Kong I had once imagined – a bustling city, bright lights and all.
