The university has always actively encouraged us to go abroad. I was very interested in the courses offered by this school, which are closely related to my major. After discussing it with my family, I decided to take this opportunity to learn and improve myself.
The school also took us to visit shipyards and laboratories. This knowledge wasn't just from textbooks; it gave us a detailed understanding of ships, which was incredibly helpful for the model-building project later on.
During the course, we worked in groups to build our own boat. We built it step by step with our own hands—painting, waterproofing, and polishing. Our ultimate goal was to make the boat seaworthy.
Through this camp, I realized many of my own shortcomings that need improvement, particularly my English proficiency. A misunderstanding caused by language barriers inconvenienced my teammates, making me deeply reflect on my mistakes and motivated me to train my skills harder.
