My Story

To me, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering are disciplines deeply rooted in the physical world—working with matter, forces, and energy. From the solid and concrete to the abstract and conceptual, they rise gradually, layer by layer.

Computer science, on the other hand, steps further into the virtual realm, dealing with abstract systems, digital structures, and informational logic. Yet at their core, all of these disciplines are built upon the same universal mystery and scientific beauty, grounded in the foundational languages of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

When I was younger, I once felt regret and even anger toward myself, thinking I had been forced to follow the expectations of others. But now I understand—I made the decision myself, for myself.

I'm proud of the person I’ve become, for enduring those hard, dark, and seemingly hopeless days. I stand by my decision to study engineering—specifically, electrical engineering—even when I was told, over and over, that it wasn’t a typical path for girls. I now see clearly that this was the right path for me.

At 17, I told myself: I love music, poetry, literature, languages, and history. But I am also deeply fascinated by the precision, systematic thinking, and practical application of science and engineering.

So today, I want to thank that brave young girl again—the one who struggled to find her path in the university jungle and to survive in a competitive, thorn-filled world. I’m still growing and evolving, constantly absorbing knowledge as though there were no limits. I am hungry for truth, swimming freely in an ocean of learning.

I am becoming the person I truly want to be—building a life that is both strong and solid, like a fortress, but with a heart that remains soft and free. Just like when I was a child: living joyfully, loved by the world, and completely free.

地質小記:關於我,作為一個地層系統

我逐漸理解,我並不是一個線性前進的人。 我更像是一個 地質剖面 。 一年一年,事件、情感、選擇與環境,在我體內沉積。 有些是細緻均勻的沉積岩層,安靜地堆疊; 有些則是突發的造山運動——擠壓、斷裂、抬升,改變整個結構。 也有長時間的風化與沖刷,把曾經銳利的稜角磨得圓潤, ...
