Humanism in me: The dream of twenty

My dream, however small, is to explore different cultures, broaden my knowledge, and share the inspiration and wisdom I've gained with others. Unable to actually set foot on the lands I dream of, I travel through books and the small screen… To fully prepare for these exciting journeys, I need to be very careful and thorough. The successful launch of a satellite into its desired orbit is the result of a long process of preparation and execution. The launch pad is only one of the factors determining success, but without it, the satellite cannot fly. The University of Humanities is like the launch pad, and I am like the satellite preparing to fly into space, into the orbit I desire. The launch pad is the essential prerequisite that determines whether my flight path will be accurate or not.

Stepping onto the launch pad, everyone felt tense, anxious, but also excited. Unlike the other satellites that had been meticulously prepared in the post-launch phase and were ready for flight, I carried a slight "flaw." Entering the Faculty of Humanities as a "second-choice applicant" made me feel a little different and disappointed. I had previously searched for support and failed. I was in a state of panic for quite a while. The launch pad was only an emergency, unofficial backup. I always thought that without dedicating much effort to understanding the launch pad, I wouldn't succeed… And I was wrong!

It may not have been the best launching pad, but it was the most suitable one for me to launch myself to the highest and most accurate heights, because a good launching pad and thorough preparation don't guarantee success. The deeper I delve into exploring my new home, the more I believe in destiny and in the success of my life's journey. Studying at a school with a rich history, with dedicated and passionate lecturers, and friendly friends... fuels my passion and helps me pursue my dreams. There are inevitable moments of fatigue from consecutive exams and mountains of assignments... but all of that provides the best knowledge and preparation for my adventure. Learning isn't just about cultural and social knowledge; it's also about gaining valuable life experiences that you can learn from, lessons that not every school can teach you. Fate led me to the Faculty of Humanities, and after more than two years here, I have no regrets about my choice. Living in today's market economy, the worry about making ends meet is unavoidable. "Never before has money possessed such tremendous power" has become a familiar saying. Knowing this and studying here, I understand even more clearly the nature and powerful allure of money. Knowing and understanding this, but not succumbing to the inescapable temptations and traps it lays – that is the lesson I learned at this school. It is just one of the many valuable lessons and precious tools I carry with me throughout my life's journey.

The Faculty of Humanities is where my dreams were nurtured and developed into reality. It's not simply a launching pad or a support system. After a relatively short time there, enough to allow a young sapling to stand firm without needing care, the Faculty of Humanities has become a part of me. It's not just a school to learn from, teaching me many useful things, challenging me to help me grow, but it has become a source of pride, a symbol within me. I no longer feel disappointed by the name "second choice," but instead feel happy thinking about it. I explore and discover other cultures at deeper levels. I not only know but also understand them. Success doesn't just depend on objective factors, but also heavily on subjective factors, on my own inner strength. Later, I may not be able to travel to every place I wish, but I will still understand its subtle nuances through what I have learned. I will pass on what I have learned to future generations, so that they may know, understand, and pursue their new aspirations, providing them with a solid foundation to bước into life.

The Faculty of Humanities is the launching pad for my dreams to soar, the home that nurtures my burning passion… and the pride in my heart. “Twenty years old, you give life a dream,” and twenty is also the time to turn that dream into reality. I believe that the Faculty of Humanities will help me realize my passions and aspirations. Always be optimistic, strive your best, never stop believing… so that later I won't regret not daring to do it. At twenty, I feel my heart burning with passion.
