As a student, I have had the fortune of traversing through the halls of the Main Building and admiring its architectural grandeur. The iconic clock tower and the intricate details of the masonry work are testaments to SCNU's unwavering commitment to quality education. The University's natural beauty is also something to behold, with its lush green landscapes and picturesque lakes providing a serene environment for scholarly pursuits.
SCNU's academic offerings have provided me with a well-rounded education that has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in my chosen field. It was during my time at SCNU that I developed a deep appreciation for my studies, which translated into both personal and professional growth.

The teachers at SCNU are some of the most remarkable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. They possess a thirst for knowledge and a passion for imparting their unequaled wisdom. They have instilled in me a hunger for knowledge that will never be satiated, and their guidance has propelled me toward achieving my fullest potential.
SCNU's bustling canteen is the beating heart of the campus, always brimming with activity. It is here that students come together to share their stories over steaming bowls of noodles or piping hot servings of rice. The canteen's diverse menu has met every palate, whether you're craving something Lingnan or international food.

SCNU's rich activities have provided me with numerous opportunities to explore my passions and develop leadership skills. From the Party History Storytelling Competition to the Teaching Skills Competition, these events have brought out the best in me and have allowed me to grow both personally and professionally.
As the 90th anniversary celebration rolls around, I am immensely proud to have been a part of this illustrious institution. SCNU has given me so much, and it is now time for me to give back and uphold the values this institution has instilled in me. I hope to always embody the spirit of SCNU and make my alma mater proud.

It has shaped me into who I am today, and for that, I will be forever grateful. As I look back on these past four years, I cannot help but smile at the thought of how lucky I am to have been a part of this great institution.
