There was a time when I wasn‘t sure if I‘d even be arround to see this day. I can‘t speak for the whole population of this University, but I do know that many others have felt the same way. And so, while I could spend this time thanking the many staff that have helped me get where I am today.When I first came to Soochow University, I was worried about the environment. Besides, there was another factor to consider when it came to language barriers. Today, I can say that I am none of those things. Never did I think that I would be up here saying SUDA changed my life for the better. Simply I can say that SUDA is my home away from home.That being said, I have a few people to thank. First of all, I‘d like to thank my family for their never ending support and belief in me.I literally wouldn‘t be here without them and for that, I‘m grateful.I also want to thank the whole team of Soochow University for being consistently amazing throughout my time here. I have never met someone so dedicated to their student‘s wellbeing.Specially thank to my supervisor Pof. Dr. Ruizhi Yang for her guidance and support. Since the beginning you‘ve believed in me, you‘ve advocated for me when l didn‘t know how, you taught me that it‘s not selfish to believe in yourself, and so much more, and those are lessons that I‘ll remember for life, so thank you again.
