I am honored to receive the Outstanding Student Scholarship from the Amundi Sustainable Investment Research Center at National Chung Cheng University. To me, this award is not only an honor but also a recognition of the effort I have devoted to my studies throughout university. I was delighted when I learned that I had been selected, and I am deeply grateful to the teachers who have supported and guided me, as well as the classmates and family members who have been by my side as I have grown.
Looking back on my three years at university, I have always believed that learning is about more than achieving good grades. More importantly, it is about developing problem-solving skills and a commitment to continuous learning. Alongside my coursework, I have actively participated in extracurricular activities and competitions to apply what I have learned to real-world situations. In investment competitions, for example, I analyzed macroeconomic conditions and market developments, learning to make judgments amid an overwhelming amount of information and considerable uncertainty. In data analysis courses, I used tools such as SQL and SAS to process data, identify issues, and develop sound explanations. Courses on sustainable development and ESG also helped me understand that the future of the financial industry requires not only professional expertise but also a sustainability mindset and a sense of social responsibility.
Beyond acquiring professional knowledge, I have learned a great deal from serving as a teaching assistant for statistics. Teaching showed me that truly understanding a concept and being able to explain it clearly to others require different levels of ability. To help students understand the course material, I had to reorganize my own understanding and reasoning, which in turn deepened my grasp of many concepts.
Receiving the Outstanding Student Scholarship has been a tremendous source of encouragement. It shows me that my past efforts have been recognized and gives me greater motivation to keep working toward my goals. With this scholarship, I can devote more time and energy to developing my professional skills, including improving my English, preparing for finance-related certifications, and working toward qualifications such as the CFA charter and the Certificate in ESG Investing. I hope to continue combining financial expertise with knowledge of sustainable development, building interdisciplinary skills that will prepare me for the industry’s future direction.
Looking ahead, I will remain humble and committed to learning, continually strengthening my professional knowledge and practical skills. I also hope to apply what I learn to contribute to society and industry and make a positive impact. Once again, I sincerely thank the university for this valuable award and recognition. This honor will remain an important source of motivation as I continue to work toward my goals.
