我是內地的一名高二學生，比較了解UST開始於高一時的春節。
Rocky是我哥的朋友，他小學時就加入香港戶籍，那年他回內地探親。我被他的氣質吸引了，這也難怪，我們好久沒見面了。哥哥告訴我，Rocky進了香港科技大學商學院，而香港科技大學是香港數一數二的頂尖學府，在裏面的都是像Rocky一樣聰明的學生。好，我記住了“香港科技大學”這個頗新的名詞。
高一一年我們都是懵懂又不乏充實地度過，來到了升高二的交叉點，按內地的機制，我要選文科還是理科？選理科，我幾乎毫不猶豫，家人和朋友都有點驚訝，我的文科成績在級內能輕鬆排在前二十，但理科卻在七十以後。這時，我發覺腦裏浮現的是“香港科技大學”，原來它一直根植在我深深的夢中。我也想學科學，我也想讓生活充滿科學的色彩……
之後，每個禮拜回家，我都會上網查查港科大的東東，知道了她坐落在清水灣（下次去香港我也要經過那裡），縮寫是UST（我喜歡打頭的‘U‘字），葉玉茹教授在生物方面的成就，還有，2011年UST已經爬上了亞洲第一的位置了……
現在，我已經是將要升高三的學生了，理科的成績還糾結在校內四十名左右的位置，有時我媽會埋怨：“早知以前報文科就好了，理科你不夠別人搶啊！”但我無後悔，別人說我學不好理科，我偏要試，將來我也要穿上白袍裝，找關於科學的工作。
追隨UST的腳步……

To follow the footsteps of USTI am a high school sophomore student in the Mainland, a better understanding of the UST began in the Spring Festival in my first year.
Rocky is a friend of my brother at elementary school, he joined the Hong Kong residence, and that year he returned to the mainland to visit relatives. I was attracted by his temperament, it is no wonder we have not seen for a long time. My brother told me, Rocky went into the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is one of the top universities in Hong Kong, in which all students are as bright as Rocky. Well, I remembered this rather new name - the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
At high school year one, we were ignorant. At year two, according to the mechanism of the Mainland, I needed to choose liberal arts or science. Choosing science, I almost did not hesitate, family and friends were a little surprised, my liberal arts performance in the class can easily go to top 20, but science below 70. At that time, I found only the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in my brain and it has been deep rooted in my dream. I would like to study science, I also want my life full of scientific colour…
Each Sunday to go home, I will look up the Internet for HKUST stuff, and know that she is located in Clear Water Bay (I will visit there when I go to Hong Kong), the abbreviation is UST, (I like beginning with 'U 'word), Professor Ye Yuru achievements in the biological aspects, UST has already climbed the first in Asia in 2011…
Now, I am going to year three. My results in science is around 40, and sometimes my mother would complain: "you should have chosen liberal arts, you cannot compete with others in science ah! " But I do not regret, people say that I could not be good at science, but I choose to try. I want to put on white robe and work on science in the future. .
To follow the footsteps of UST ...
