邂逅中国，开启美好之旅

“无法预测的缘分与彩虹尽头般的幸运相遇，终将带来令人惊喜的邂逅。”

缘分宛如黑暗中的一盏灯，虽微小，却足以照亮人们脚下的路。它给予我们机会、力量和勇气，是我们成长的伴侣，也是生命旅途中的回报。我深信这一点，我认为我与中国相遇正是源于缘分与幸运的交织，之所以能够拥有这段缘分，得益于“一带一路”倡议的提出。

简言之，“一带一路”注重推动互联互通和国际合作，包括人文交流等各方面的发展。自“一带一路”倡议提出以来，它为更多学生提供了突破自我的机会，我就是其中之一。

来中国留学是我初中时期的最大目标。当时，我将出国留学作为高考后的首要任务。后来，当梦想成为现实时，我一度以为只是幻想，直到我踏踏实实地踏上中国的土地，我才相信这是真实的。

在实现梦想的旅程中，我经历了万物复苏、鲜花盛开的春季，经历了烈日炎炎、雷声滚滚的夏季，也经历了天高气爽、漫山红叶的秋季，还有万籁俱寂、千里冰封的冬季。我经历了愉快的、难过的、意外的、难忘的……终于，我蜕变成了一个成熟的大学生，成为许多弟弟妹妹信赖的学姐。

我清楚记得第一次上专业课时，根本跟不上课程的进度，倒不是因为老师讲得太快，而是因为我对那些专业术语不够熟悉，导致虽然能听懂老师说的一部分词语，但当它们连在一起时，就变成了难以理解的一串词。后来我一个一个地查专业词语和句子，然后抄在本子上把它们都背会，慢慢适应了专业课的节奏，目前我已经很自豪地跟中国学生一起学习了。我发现大学生活真的很有趣，除了学术方面的知识外，还有许多与个人兴趣、文化交流和社会实践相关的活动和比赛可以参加，我只要一有空就报名，虽然没有收获很多好成绩，但是至少收获了友谊，而且准备比赛的过程本身就是很有意思的一件事。这些活动不仅为日常学习生活增添了色彩，而且帮助我们认识自己、提升自己，让我们成为理想中的自己。

在留学的这些日子里，除了在学业方面的收获以外，我在生活中有很多不期而遇的收获。身处陌生的国度，饮食、习俗和社交规则等各个方面都需要进行探索和尝试。我个人认为，最好的学习方式就是勇于尝试。我是一个什么事都想试试的人，因此在品尝了很多中国美食、接触了不同国家的同学之后，我获得了许多生活经验和人生观点，拓宽了自己的视野，逐渐变得更加开放和包容。

我还提升了自己的语言能力。在中国生活，每天都需要使用汉语进行交流和学习。虽然在来中国前我曾经学习过一段时间的汉语，但刚来到这里时仍然感到语言方面有障碍，毕竟学习和实践之间存在差异。而且，中国有太多方言，尽管大家尽量说普通话，但我还是听不懂。好在我是一个不容易放弃的人，在一天天的磨炼中，逐渐感悟到了方言的关系，慢慢听懂了老师和同学不太标准的普通话。

除此之外，在这个美妙的旅程中，我还学会了解决问题和独立生活的技能。在异国他乡，当然需要自己处理各种琐事，例如处理银行事务、安排行程等，这锻炼了我的组织能力、判断能力、解决问题能力和自主管理能力。因此，现在的我学会了如何制定计划、作出决策，更客观地应对各种挑战和困难。这些技能不仅有助于培养自身的应变能力，也促使我成长为一个更加成熟和自主的人，对未来的个人和职业发展都非常有益。

从一个生活小白到现在懂得如何掌控自己、权衡利弊，这些经历和收获将成为我一生难忘的回忆，也成为我人生道路上宝贵的财富，为我面临未来的挑战和追求更高目标提供最有力的支持。

总之，我认为我小时候的这个梦想非常了不起，如果没有当初懵懂的梦想，就没有现在成熟的我，当然，我更要感谢能让我梦想成真的“一带一路”伟大倡议和我亲爱的母校。

中国！伟大而美丽的中国，在与您邂逅以后，我的人生变得如此丰富多彩，收获如此之多，感谢您给予我这段珍贵的人生经历。这段美好的缘分将使我终生难忘。

“Unpredictable fate and lucky meeting by chance at the end of the rainbow will eventually lead to surprising encounters.”

Fate is like a lamp in the dark， although it is small， it is enough to illuminate the road under people’s feet. It gives us opportunity， strength and courage. It is a companion for our growth， and a reward in the journey of life. I am convinced of this， and I believe that my encounter with China stems from the interweaving of fate and luck， and the reason why I can have this fate is due to the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative.

In short， the Belt and Road Initiative focuses on promoting connectivity and international cooperation， including people-to-people exchanges. Since it was proposed， the Belt and Road Initiative has provided more students with opportunities to break through themselves. I am one of them.

Study in China was my biggest goal in junior high school. At that time， I made studying abroad my top priority after the college entrance examination. Later， when the dream came true， I once thought it was just a fantasy， and it wasn’t until I set foot on Chinese land that I believed it was real.

In the journey of fulfilling my dreams， I experienced a spring when everything was revived and flowers were in full bloom; experienced the scorching sun and thunderstorm in summer; I had also experienced the autumn of blue sky and red leaves and winter that was quiet and frozen for a vast land.I have pleasant， sad， unexpected， unforgettable memories... Eventually， I transformed into a mature college student and a trusted senior sister for many younger students.

I remember that when I first took a specialized course， I couldn’t keep up with the pace at all， not because the teacher spoke too quickly， but because I was not familiar with the technical terms. As a result， I could understand some of the words spoken by the teacher， but when they were connected， they became an incomprehensible string of words. Later， I looked up the technical terms and sentences one by one， and then copied them all in my notebook， and gradually adapted to the rhythm of the specialized course， and now I am proud to study with Chinese students. I found university life really interesting， in addition to academic knowledge， there are many activities and competitions related to personal interests， cultural exchanges and social practice to participate in， I signed up as soon as I was free， although I didn’t get a lot of good results， at least I gained friendships， and the process of preparing for the competition itself was a very interesting thing. These activities not only add color to our daily study life， but also help us know ourselves， improve ourselves， and make us become a better man.

In these days of studying abroad， in addition to the gains in my studies， I have had many unexpected gains in my life. Being in a foreign country， it is necessary to explore and try various aspects such as food， customs， and social rules.Personally speaking， the best way to learn is to have the courage to try， I am a person who wants to try， so after tasting a lot of Chinese food and meeting classmates from different countries， I have gained a lot of life experience and life perspectives， broadened my horizons and gradually became more open and inclusive.

I also improved my language skills. Living in China， you need to use Chinese to communicate and learn every day. Although I had studied Chinese for a while before coming to China， I still felt that there was a language barrier when I first came here， because there was a difference between learning and practice. Also， there are so many dialects in China that I don’t understand even though everyone tries to speak Mandarin. Fortunately， I do not give up easily， and in the training day by day， I gradually realized the relationship between dialects， and slowly understood the non-standard Mandarin of teachers and classmates.
