Still waters run deep, actions have a direction
Since I entered Zhongde, from practicing professional academic activities to starting up business in national and provincial events, I deeply feel that the goal cannot be reached overnight. Therefore, practicing the courage and calmness of long-term planning and facing unknown challenges has become an important topic since I started my undergraduate study. I focused on each course, continuously improved my foreign language skills, enhanced my professionalism and experience, and actively participated in various activities and events to exercise my comprehensive quality. This process allows me to experience the charm of academics and the fun of life, and I hope that in the future I can always maintain the lifelong learning ability of "my life has a limit, but knowledge has no limit".

Plan for the long term and step out of your comfort zone
I made the decision to go to graduate school at the end of the first semester of my sophomore year, when my GPA was just over 3.0, and after talking with teachers who had experience in studying abroad, I realized that I needed to make every effort to improve my GPA and accumulate relevant experiences in order to achieve this goal. I changed my attitude towards studying, actively participated in group work, and communicated with my teachers when I had any questions, and finally went to the UK with a GPA of 3.7 for the next two years of my study.
Solve problems on your own
For me, choosing to go abroad was about stepping out of my comfort zone. When I came abroad, I didn't have takeout that I could order at any time, and I didn't have the support that my parents provided at any time. When I was abroad, I slowly learned how to solve problems on my own. At first, I couldn't fully understand the lessons, so I used software to translate and record them, and spent a lot of time practicing my listening skills. As I was lacking in internship experience, I searched for ways to get an internship at Deloitte, one of the Big Four firms in the world, by actively interviewing for the position. I interned in the firm's risk consulting department, where I learned a lot of knowledge and skills about risk assessment and management from senior practitioners. I also learnedRigorous work ethic and professionalismThese are indispensable assets for my future career.

Continuous upgrading and development of personal competencies
The 2+2 model provided by Sino-German Branding School has helped me a lot. The English teaching mode and the compulsory IELTS course in China have greatly improved my English level. I was able to face my study abroad and subsequent postgraduate studies with greater ease. At the same time, the 2+2 program provided me with the opportunity to study abroad with other students I know, which is also a very important point for me personally. One and a half years is enough time for me toDeveloped independenceThey are also well adapted to life abroad, avoiding a series of problems such as not adapting and having to face culture shock alone when graduate students go abroad later on.
