Congregation Moment: The four years of university life in Macao is a time full of challenges and struggles. I remember when I first entered the university, I was confused about the future and did not know how to plan my college life. However, with the help and encouragement of teachers and friends, I gradually found my own direction, worked hard to learn professional knowledge, actively participated in campus activities, and practiced my comprehensive ability. In countless experiences, I have learned how to deal with challenges; In the face of difficulties, I learned to calmly analyze problems and find solutions. I also gradually learned to be my support, and learn to face loss, fear, anxiety... Standing on the threshold of graduation, I do not feel alone, because I have learned to accept myself, to stand up from every "wrong" experience, and let it become the power to nourish myself. Graduation is not the end, but the beginning of the next journey. I hope I will become more and more independent, confident and strong, and I wish you all a bright future and shine in your own field!
