"First Impressions"

Sitting on the school yard, quietly watching everything happening around me: the innocent laughter of the first-year students, the sound of footsteps, the excited discussions of the study groups... each person doing their own work created a very bustling space. Suddenly, I felt so small and a little scared. I didn't know if with my introverted personality, I could integrate into this group or not. But fortunately, I didn't have to regret the decisions I had made because now beside me there was a "loving Chinese family". A place where I could share my thoughts and feelings.

I feel very happy that my choices are correct. I used to hesitate when deciding to study between the University of Humanities and the University of Education. Everyone in my family wanted me to study education because they thought that girls studying this profession would be quite easy and not have to compete. But I didn't like it because when studying education, I would be bound to a certain standard, and I would still be a shy girl like before, unable to break out of my shell. If there is no competition, people cannot grow up, that's what I think. Therefore, I decided to choose the University of Humanities as the school that will accompany me for the next four years.

Indeed, it has brought a new perspective on this life. Although I am a freshman and have no special memories at school, I feel something very different from high school. If high school only had to go to class and study at home, now as a student there are many extracurricular activities. Thanks to the dynamism, youthfulness, and liveliness of most students in the school, I have been able to integrate with everyone. Not only that, the teachers are also very dedicated and love the students. They are always willing to help students with anything as long as the teachers can solve it. In this group, I feel more cared for and loved, I am free to express my opinions without being forced to follow any rules, very comfortable. But the comfort still has a certain stopping point that is completely suitable for students. Even so, sometimes I still feel a bit scared, especially when I have to go to the training room with the political office and student affairs. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to it or not, but every time I have to meet the teachers, I have to prepare myself very carefully. I've never had any problems there, but I'm still scared mentally. Every time I meet the teachers, I have to tell myself that they're just too busy, it's okay, I'm not hated, if I get scolded, I'll just learn from it. That will help me be a little braver. Therefore, I feel very lucky to be a member of Nhan Van, especially in the Chinese Studies department. Everyone is friendly and helps each other, not jealous of each other. Nhan Van has helped me improve myself a lot, gradually accumulating knowledge so that I can stand on my own two feet in the future. With a comprehensive teaching and training method, students will have a broader and further perspective in all fields.

Although the area and architecture of the school are not equal to many other universities in the country, this will be a place to leave a special mark on generations of students. The space is small but very airy and has something very familiar that helps us ease the homesickness of students studying far away. And this is the motivation for us to strive. I believe that Nhan Van will always be with me during the next 4 years to help me realize the dreams and ambitions that I am cherishing.
