I still remember that there was a time, my flight arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on time on October 9, 2018. I arrived in Malaysia, a tropical and colorful country, with two overweight baggage. The "mobility student" international studies for half a year in UPM will be waiting for me.

Two days later, I formally registered in the Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)，and started attending course with Professor Fauzi. In addition, thanks to UPM's truly open teaching and learning environment, I was fortunate enough to be able to join in the Faculty of Engineering's BBI course. Every day, shuttle around campus, doing things for instance, buying traditional Malaysian sweets in my faculty , eating Chinese food at an old flat, drinking coffee from the Faculty of Engineering, looking for lizards in the lake, studying for the final exam in the library, and playing golf in UPM Sports place. These are my one-of-a-kind and precious memories at UPM. Despite the fact that half a year is a short time, professors such as Dr. samsilah, Dr. Abu, and Dr. Intan provided me with a slice of professional guidance in "mobility student" learning process.

I will feature in UPM's online teaching in October 2020, as predicted. Yes, I was accepted into the Faculty of Educational Studies as a postgraduate concentrating in educational psychology. Dr. Suria is my supervisor and Dr. Aniza is my advisor. These two teachers look after my mother and helping me with my classwork and examinations. Furthermore, I benefited from UPM's international style of teaching and open educational environment. My GPA was 3.0 and higher, I was presentation in international meeting, and I was able to publish my own scientific papers within English. I always remember Dr. aniza's words of encouragement and praise when I made the final presentation for the first time; Always remember the mood when Dr. Suria agreed to be my thesis instructor; I won't forget the last class and the last exam in the graduate stage. In addition, I also remember the tension and pride when my first publication highlighted that my organization was universal Putra Malaysia (UPM). Most importantly, the one-and-a-half-year postgraduate study life taught me "how to perceive and adapt to the general trend of the future, how to test the strengths and weaknesses of myself, and how to sail with the water to maximize the interests, which can meet the demands of self-development of most people."

In fact, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) is in Malaysia. Malaysia's unique geographical location and multi-ethnic environment are doomed to the openness and internationalization of UPM. I think maybe this is one of the reasons for the continuous improvement of UPM's QS ranking. In other words, UPM has been looking for and adjusting a number of education policies (especially during covid-19) to take into account the interests of teachers and students, so as to maximize teaching results.

At the crossroads of graduation, the aspiration has become the body's destination. May my state of mind remain perpetually young, free, and permanent, and may I strive to be the person I want to be.
