34 years later, Andy Ka Lung Fong finally crossed the convocation stage! 🎓

After studying music in 1989, Andy's life led him down a different path. With his wife's support and the determination to overcome self-doubt, he returned to school and earned a Specialized Honours BFA in Music. He now plans to continue his journey in the Faculty of Education to become a music educator. For Andy, this milestone represents perseverance, second chances, and the courage to begin again.
