Self-reflection after studying in Australia

Life is like a journey. The people or things you experience are the scenery on this journey. As you move forward, everything will pass away, and what will be left behind will be the memories that turn into milestones. . For me, life studying abroad is like clouds, rain, and wind. In the short three years I spent in Australia, there was no need to mention a lot of laughter, surprises, sadness and even tears. Looking back on the past that has faded away, how would I describe my experience of studying in Australia? Perhaps there is no more appropriate word than growth. Growth is not only the traces left by the years on our faces, but also many intangible things that can better tell everything we have experienced:

Self-reliance

The word self-reliance is very important to the current 80 It is no stranger to those born in the 1990s or 1990s, but when independence comes, it is really overwhelming. I have always thought that my ability to be independent is pretty good among my peers. The so-called "playing, chess, calligraphy and painting" are all excellent. Of course, this is just a joke. But I can do everything including laundry and cooking. However, despite this, when I first arrived, I still seemed a little confused. After all, I was a stranger in a foreign land. When you are in Australia, you have to take care of all aspects of your clothing, food, housing, and transportation. It can be as big as finding a house or moving, or as small as changing a light bulb or taking out the trash. In every aspect of life, you have to consider and make your own decisions.

In addition, when I first arrived abroad, whenever I spent money, I would be reminded of the damn exchange difference, which made it very restrictive to do anything. This is not stingy or stingy. Perhaps only those who have truly lived abroad can appreciate it. How does it feel when you wake up in the morning and find a fist-sized black spider hanging above your head? For most of us children who have no life experience, living independently is undoubtedly a big challenge. But when difficulties are placed in front of you, you have no choice. Fortunately, I still keep in mind Chairman Mao’s wise words: Persistence is victory. What's the difficulty? We are the real proletariat! After a period of tribulation, tempering and adjustment, life finally got on the right track.

A year later, when I was driving on the Princess Highway, I recalled the time when I first came here with mixed feelings! After returning to China, many parents always ask me: What is your life abroad like? Let me tell you, it's nothing special, just like you would at home. Life is one week after another. As the saying goes, a symphony of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pots and pans. The only difference is that the protagonist of this life is me! !

Friends

There is an old Chinese saying, "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out." As a standard Beijing native, it would be an absolute lie to say that he misses home after flying to a foreign country thousands of miles away. Man is a social animal, and I am no exception. During my three years of study and life in Australia, in addition to learning scientific knowledge, my friends are my greatest asset. Only when you are truly isolated can you appreciate the value of friends. When you are frustrated, you need friends to comfort and advise you; when you are high-spirited, you also need friends to share with you. People of different skin colors, different nationalities, and different cities come together, help each other, and grow together, a multi-ethnic and multi-faith integration.

Here, you will appreciate the culture of people from different countries and feel the customs of different ethnic groups. Australia is a country of immigrants. There is no racial discrimination here, but only harmonious coexistence of people from different countries and regions around the world. Only when we truly come outside can we feel more proud of ourselves as a Chinese. It is a kind of arrogance that comes from the bottom of one's heart. It is pride. Only if you have truly experienced studying abroad will you understand what it means to have friends all over the world! Friendship is like a beautiful flower. It blooms in the hearts of you and your friends and will never be defeated. It is an exchange, an intertwining of peace and friendship. And you, at this moment, have become the ambassador of friendship and peace!

Study

In Mexico City, as an international student, the most important task is of course study. Here, the way of learning will be very different from that in China. In Australia, students are very proactive in learning. All courses are chosen by students based on their interests and hobbies, and are 100% credit-based. At the University of Melbourne, the school attaches great importance to students' practical abilities.

The laboratory is open to students almost 24 hours a day. It can be said that with your student ID card, you can borrow any books you want and enter any course-related laboratory for experiments, even equipment worth billions of dollars. Do it yourself. I think the most important thing when studying here is to first learn how to study and how to arrange your own time.

Learn to calm down and study things, and run to the library and enter the laboratory tirelessly. When you are in a library that is more than a century old, you will find that you are Harry Potter in reality, and now you are browsing the magical magic books of the last century in the magic academy. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the books in various schools in Mexico City are interoperable. Students at the University of Melbourne can go to Monash, RMIT or even Deakin to borrow books. The ultimate sharing of resources is truly realized here! Learning is just like your life. It depends on your own continuous management to bear fruit. Imagine that when you finish your studies, when you stand in the auditorium wearing a bachelor's, master's or doctoral gown, enjoying the authentic Oxford-style graduation ceremony, when the dean of the school awards you a degree and puts on your hat When the ribbon is moved from right to left, when classmates, friends, and family members you know and don’t know cheer for your graduation, what a happy and wonderful moment it is! ! For that moment, manage your studies carefully, this is the way to go! !

Studying abroad has given different definitions and missions to people in different historical periods. Just like the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, which "learned from the barbarians and learned skills to strengthen themselves", later Mr. Lu Xun gradually understood his own way of saving the country while studying abroad. Later, great leaders of New China were born from the overseas students. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he studied abroad and Build the country. Each generation uses their own personal experience to show how important studying abroad and cultural exchanges are to a country and a nation. It is precisely because of the experience of our overseas students working hard overseas that the culture of our motherland can be spread more widely. Let us work together and believe that our lives will be more colorful because of this! !

Finally, let me use the first hexagram of the Qian hexagram among the eighty-eight and sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes to encourage everyone: Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement!
