I am Zhu Yan, from the Class of 2018 majoring in Finance.
When I entered school in September, the phoenix flowers next to the school road were in full bloom. It bloomed silently, moving gently with the wind, as if welcoming my arrival. This scene is still vividly remembered, but half of the time in Shantou University is fleeting. Looking back, my life at Shantou University was full of growth and gratitude.
First, build confidence with the help of the division commander
When I first entered the university, I gathered a passion in my heart but did not understand, and I was very fortunate to meet the teachers who gave me enlightenment and support.
Professor Zheng Muqiang, is my economics enlightenment teacher, his novel flipped classroom teaching mode, let me feel the charm and fun of using economic thinking to solve practical problems; Teacher Zhang Yanyi, every time will affectionately call students children and teach us to cherish ourselves and life like mothers; Teacher Zhang Bingyan and Teacher Liu Zaijun, when I encounter difficulties, I can always give timely help and warmth.
I think it is precisely this kind of kindness full of expectations and the beautiful faces engraved in my mind that give me a steady stream of strength and let me learn how to become a Shantou university student full of ideals, pursuits and feelings.

In my freshman year, with the encouragement of my teachers and friends, I plucked up the courage to sign up for the school etiquette team. Frankly speaking, I am a little unconfident in my heart, and I feel that I am not good enough and not beautiful enough. But in the later study and training, the etiquette team helped me build up my confidence little by little.
Weekly ritual training, awards for various large-scale events, and mutual encouragement among team members have made me discover my shining points little by little, and let me dare to accept myself and find a better self.
Second, grow in the competition

In the first semester of my freshman year, with the help of my brothers and sisters, we carried out a big innovation project together. Together with their teammates, they went to eight universities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen to conduct research. After experiencing it, I learned how difficult it is to go to a strange place, find strangers to be interviewed, and fill out questionnaires.
Just three days of continuous running, it happens to be the National Day holiday at the peak of the trip, and the people are lively and the sun is also warm. Running around against the sun and having to take the initiative to talk to strangers again and again is a huge challenge for me. But every time I take the initiative to face the challenge, I can feel my own growth.

When we learned that we could participate in the Internet + competition, our group only knew the general direction, and how to carry it out was unknown. In addition, I don't have any relevant competition experience, so I am always nervous. But under the mutual support and urging of the members of the group, we still insisted on doing it.
Studies and competitions are carried out at the same time, there are always endless group meetings, the planning book has been changed and changed, and it is a little dizzy. Fortunately, the result of the provincial silver award was finally obtained, and finally all the hard work was rewarded!
Third, feel the different scenery in the activity

During this year's National Day, I participated in the "Passing on the Torch" public welfare class and went to Lei Ling to investigate. As the group leader, I need to take the team members to each village to interview and understand the situation, and also take time to rehearse the literary and art evening.
In those days, eating and living in Leiling Middle School, regular getting up time, unified dining, busy day by day, seems to return to high school time: time is urgent, but everyone has the same goal, struggle towards the same goal, tired and satisfied.
This brought a wake-up call to me, who was in a free university life, but often felt the pressure and wandering.

Participating in many activities at the university is not to get many honors, but to enrich your spiritual world and feel a different scenery.
Such gains are precious, although I have suffered many setbacks in participating in various activities. Fortunately, these setbacks did not crush me, but made me firmly believe that as long as I persevered, I could too!
In the next two years, I will always encourage myself to study harder and develop my potential. The golden phoenix blossomed and thanked me, accompanied my growth, and I hoped that I could still see its blooming posture when I left, just like when it first greeted me.
