uPals分享

It is truly my pleasure to be awarded one of the Best uPals this year!

I first joined uPals as a junior uPals in 2023, and then continued as a senior uPals last year. Back in 2023, my main goals were quite simple: I wanted to make friends, learn more about mental health, and pick up some practical strategies for stress relief. Through organizing different service projects, I had a great time meeting and working with people from very different backgrounds and study disciplines.

But there was one benefit that I only discovered after getting more involved from within uPals. Through the team-building activities in the adventure camp, hosting reunion gatherings, and leading the team to organize service projects, I started to understand myself much better. I learned about my strengths and weaknesses, my values, and the style, the kind of teammate, the leader I want to be.

Therefore I’m really grateful—not only for this award, but for the journey that uPals has given me in terms of friendship, growth, and self-discovery.

Lastly, for the new cohort of junior uPals, i hope you will have lots of fun during this journey like i did! and i truly believe that you will become a better self here.
