Academic Term of Essay Subject: Spring Semester 2020

I am now a sophomore at MU, which shows that this is my second year as a member of MU, and I feel lucky. Although due to the global epidemic, I did not successfully go to the American campus to study after enrolling in the fall of last year. Instead, I have been experiencing the culture of MU online and doing my studies. As I said, I think I am lucky to be able to come to MU, and I am also happy.

Since I started in junior high school, my dream is to go to the United States to study, and now I have achieved it, so I feel very happy and lucky. Although my grades were not good, I also successfully entered an American university to pursue my studies. I think my time at MU so far is happy, and I am very satisfied with my academic performance. To be honest, I have never been a grade A student before, and I am always the bottom student. However, through my own efforts and external factors, I have successfully become a grade A student. This is something I could not imagine before, so I feel lucky. Of course, it is also because of the epidemic that I can only learn in the form of online courses, which may be the reason why I have been able to obtain A so far. It is possible that when I enter campus to study, my grades will decline, but I will try to maintain it.

I think the MU teachers and professors I have been in contact with are great, and I am very grateful to them. I can feel the care and help they give to the students, and they have enthusiasm and love for their work. I am extremely happy and excited to meet such a teacher and receive such an education. In fact, I really don’t have much to share, because online classes can’t bring me more intuitive feelings. I think that when I step on campus and have more face-to-face contact with classmates and professors, I will have more unique feelings and perspectives. I still don’t know enough about the campus and many cultures, and I don’t fully feel it, so I have no way of knowing what I think.

Of course, it has always been my dream to come to the United States to study. I also recognize, love and are willing to accept American culture, so I look forward to entering campus life in the following semesters. I think MU is a good university and it is suitable for me. I think I can do something here to lay a solid foundation for my future.

In addition, during my more than a year of university time, I also met a lot of classmates, and I think they are all very good people. There are some of whom I contact almost every day and are already good friends. In my opinion, this was brought to me by the school. I was lucky enough to come to MU, and I was very lucky to meet many good classmates, some of whom became good friends. I think this is my unique achievement. I feel that I will meet more good classmates in the next few years of MU, and I look forward to it.
