University is a place not only for pursuing knowledge and excellence but also for defining your lifelong goals, learning to be independent and responsible, and expanding your social circles. In the process, you may feel lost and defeated, but hang in there, for there will be a way out. You may also encounter people who are very different from you, but don’t run away from them. Bear with them, listen patiently, and speak slowly, so that everyone is uplifted.
May I wish you all a fruitful university life!
