My second short essay What I Have Learned from My years at University What sculpture is to a block of marble, university life is to a human soul. What my years at university left for me abound, but three stand out. Looking back on those years with nostalgia, I'm proud of the knowledge and skills I gained at university. The certificates I had won brought me about the chances to have interviews in big companies. Skills, like organizing and hosting big evening parties, coupled with raising funds, make me prominent among a flood of job seekers. Furthermore, leaving parents for university is not so much a liability as an asset for me to be more independent. I grappled with the chore and homesickness as well, juggled schoolwork and taking care of myself. It is Those days that makes me more of an adult than the age. Last but not the least, my years at university were packed with love and care from my friends there. Just as knowledge, skills, and independence make a remarkable difference to my future, so the support from friends is necessary for me to play cards right. Gone are those days when I was at university, but they left me too much which is worth a lifetime to appreciate.
