Studying at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from 2015 to 2019 was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. During this time, I was a PhD student at the School of Public Affairs, where I had the privilege of being mentored by Professor Song Wei. His guidance\u00a0played a significant role in shaping my academic development, particularly in refining my writing and critical thinking skills. I am deeply grateful to him and\u00a0to\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0professors\u00a0who\u00a0supported\u00a0me\u00a0throughout my journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0most\u00a0transformative\u00a0aspects\u00a0of\u00a0my time\u00a0at\u00a0USTC\u00a0was\u00a0learning\u00a0how\u00a0to\u00a0express\u00a0my ideas clearly and effectively. This skill not only strengthened my academic abilities but also prepared me for challenges beyond university. Through various assignments and projects, I\u00a0learned how to structure my thoughts, analyze complex\u00a0issues,\u00a0and\u00a0communicate\u00a0my perspectives with confidence. These skills have since been invaluable in both my career and personal life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The environment at USTC was one of collaboration and intellectual growth. The university encouraged\u00a0open discussions, creative problem-solving, and the exchange\u00a0of\u00a0ideas.\u00a0This\u00a0supportive\u00a0atmosphere helped\u00a0me\u00a0develop\u00a0a\u00a0deeper\u00a0understanding\u00a0of\u00a0my field of study and inspired me to think critically about\u00a0the\u00a0world\u00a0around\u00a0me.\u00a0I\u00a0appreciated\u00a0how\u00a0the professors, alongside their teaching, also fostered a spirit of curiosity and exploration, pushing us to ask questions and challenge assumptions.<\/p>\n

After graduating from USTC, I was fortunate to join Limkokwing University of Creative Technology at its Cambodia campus, one of the leading international universities in the country. As a full-time lecturer in the Foundation Department, I now have the privilege of guiding students who are just beginning their higher education journey. This role has given me the opportunity to share the knowledge and skills I\u00a0acquired at USTC, while also inspiring my students to strive for their own academic and personal growth.<\/p>\n

Looking back on my years at USTC, I realize how transformative\u00a0that\u00a0experience\u00a0was\u00a0in\u00a0shaping\u00a0both my academic path and my approach to life. The\u00a0lessons I learned there, along with the relationships I built with professors and peers, continue to guide me\u00a0as I move forward in my career. For all these reasons, USTC will always hold a special place in my heart, and\u00a0I will forever cherish the time I spent there, which\u00a0helped lay the foundation for who I am today.<\/p>\n
