The most precious thing in college is to have long vacations. Being a college student is full of happiness. No summer school, no school returning day.

During college, I held the sprits of ' make the most of my time in every vacation'. I told myself the goals that I wanted to achieve and planned every piece of time accurately. I went through my bucket list and never wasted any time.
Therefore, I challenged working holidays, international volunteers, internship, United Nations SDGs AE. Also, earned twice grand tours fund offered by the Ministry of Education. I visited Italy, Israel, Jordan, the Vatican, Vietnam, Island at Phillippine, etc.

Once get a job, I will probably not have a whole month of vacation to use, it is why holidays at the University are precious.

''Only if you change yourself, you could influence others and bring the world some changes.''

I was thinking about what I had learned at Feng Chia University and self-examination the influence on this campus. Later on, I kept asking myself, what impact can I bring to the world? Last, I found out all should start by myself.

In my freshman year, I represented Feng Chia University to attend the grand tour result announcement competition held by Youth Development Administration. The moment I finished my presentation, judges nodded as a recognition. Until the time to receive awards, the judges reminded me, goals don't need to be too high to reach, I could start from my campus. Later on, I decided to be an influencer at Feng Chai University.逢甲大學_大學生愛分享_外文系彭怡惠_千萬別浪費大學期間的任何一個假期 (3)

During the summer vacation of being a Junior student, friends and I contributed SDGs life bellow water plan. After receiving funds from the Ministry of Education, we did it of our own accord, contacted the Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation and the Discovery Channel Taiwan. Together, we discussed ocean problems, successfully invited Discovery Channel Taiwan to attend the event held at Feng Chia University, a lecture about Marine Conservation. When gathering feedback from students, it is glad to know they care about the ocean preserve. The first time I felt that I was an influencer who could take the initiative to create influence.

Senior year, I cooperated with friends, held the first TED x FCU annual party at Feng Chia University. Most of the audience was mainly students from Feng Chia University and people from all over Taiwan. With the feast of exchanging ideas, I get to hear different perceptions, more even to find out students in the school were active in various issues, just be short of activities such as TED x FCU annual party. To be inspired by organizing this event, and it had brought me self-achievement.

I am cline to the belief that only changing myself could bring influence to people around me, more changes to the world, it may be just a little, but still, a good start and the spirit will continue in my heart.

「There are treasures at Feng Chia University, you should look after them and find them out.」

I had a goal before studying in a University, which is to earn all the tuition back. I did research and found out there are several ways to do it.

Feng Chia University has the most enriching and multiplies resources. Such as applying for travel abroad at the General Education Center, planning your trip specifically, to win the tickets for your flight. For this project, I traveled to five countries, which had accounted for one over three of my travel spot in my life.

The Office of International Affairs and the Foreign Language Center usually held plenty of English communication activities, language exchange, English competitions. I challenged the English Briefing Contest, during my freshman and sophomore years. Planned and shooted an image advertisement for the alumni's company "Qin Aesthetics CMP village'', also dealing with the marketing report, I learned that how important it is to do brand marketing.
The Extracurricular Activities Section also held campus activities and competitions. Sophomore year I challenged the 'Feng talk' Campus Speaking Contest. The school invited experts to guide students who got into the second round of speaking movement and slide design. I won the campus's most popular award and third place in the culture group. The whole process of the competition makes me full of satisfaction.

Sharing my experiences with other students

''Create your chances!''

When you realize your advantage and position, be bold and find some partner to cooperate with them. All kinds of people you could meet, they could be in general education courses, your department, freshman camp or even dining in the same place. There are always talented people around the campus, anyone could be the comrade-in-arms you are looking for.
I took my step to team up with a group from different departments to compete for the microfilm school contest in my freshman year. At last, we won the first prize, the judges were shocked, with our cooperation, I met my team in several activities and class.

Don't make yourself be in the same comfort zone, search for talented people, create possibilities. Find the right team with the same goal and energetic ideas, expecting benefit multiplied by the effect.

''Chance favors the prepared mind.!''

Interesting things happen on the campus. Precious opportunities are usually chance favors for the prepared mind.
Being a student from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature made me show how aggressive I am in English-related activities. The first semester I participated in the school English Teaching plan and the English Winter Camp hosted by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, helping students who have problems learning English. The second semester I was lucky to get two English tutor jobs with good pay, and I had continued teaching until I graduated.

With the experience above, I got the fund offered by Youth Development Administration.
I had an unforgettable experience to be Mandarin Teaching volunteer at Holy Name Campus in Bohol, Philippines, using English to teach local college students Mandarin.

Without practicing my English speaking ability, I wouldn't get the chance to be the female lead of my Graduation play.
