Speaking as the freshman representative was her brave attempt at kicking off her university life.
Gu Wanqing remembered what Lin Shen had told her:
"Everyone is the main character of their own story. Be brave and put yourself out there. Years from now, all this so-called 'embarrassment' will just become unforgettable memories and experiences."
She let out a long breath.
Gu Wanqing took a deep breath, her hand resting on her chest. After composing herself, she broke into a faint smile, bravely took her first step onto the stage, and waved to the audience as she approached the podium.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Gu Wanqing from Class 2 of the English Department. I'm so happy to be standing here today as your freshman representative to share my joy about starting university with you all…"
Today, Gu Wanqing was wearing a white dress that perfectly suited her.
