Two years ago, I made the decision to come here, and I just want to thank myself for taking that leap. It was never an easy choice — chasing both my own dreams and my parents’ dreams, stepping into a completely new chapter of life, and leaving many opportunities behind to start over somewhere unfamiliar.

Looking back now, I don’t regret any part of it. This journey has given me some of the most meaningful memories of my life. I’ve strengthened bonds with people I love, reconnected with old friends, and met so many new ones along the way. Being surrounded by classmates from all around the world also opened my eyes to perspectives and experiences I would never have discovered otherwise.

Most importantly, I just want to remember that, once in my lifetime, I was here — pushing myself out of my comfort zone, growing through it all, and creating memories I’ll carry in my heart forever.

Cheers to this unforgettable chapter of life.
