我後來才明白，恩典很少出現在所謂的高光時刻；它更常出現在那些——你自己都覺得大概撐不過去的地方。
那年從馬來西亞出發來台灣，是疫情後充滿未知的時期。面對課業、生活與文化適應的重重壓力，也有過流淚的夜晚，甚至開始懷疑自己的選擇。那時候的我，只求把這四年走完就好。
但回頭看才發現，我竟一步步走向了自己原本不敢設想的「標竿」。這一路沒有什麼成功學劇情，更多的是陷入迷茫、自我懷疑之中；然而正是在最無力的時刻，我看見許多恩典的記號。
我深深體會聖經所說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」原來恩典不一定使困難消失，而是讓我在軟弱中仍能被托住、被塑造，也明白——許多苦難，其實都是化了妝的祝福。
這份獎項帶給我的不只是結果的肯定，更是途中豐盛的恩典。也感謝家人、師長與朋友的扶持，陪我走過低谷，向標竿直跑。
所以，去挑戰那些你覺得不可能的事吧！恩典往往藏在意想不到的角落，正等待你勇敢走近。
Only later did I come to understand that grace rarely appears in what people call “highlight moments.” More often, it reveals itself in the places where you think you will not make it through.
The year I left Malaysia for Taiwan was a season filled with uncertainty after the pandemic. Between academics, daily life, and adapting to a new culture, there were nights of tears and moments when I questioned my own decision. Back then, all I wished for was simply to survive these four years.
Yet looking back now, I realize that step by step, I somehow walked toward a “milestone” I once never dared to imagine for myself. There was no dramatic success story along the way—only seasons of confusion, exhaustion, and self-doubt. And strangely, it was precisely in those moments of weakness that I began to notice the traces of grace most clearly.
I came to deeply understand the verse in Scripture:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Grace did not always remove the difficulties before me. Instead, it carried me through them. It held me together in my weakest moments, shaped me quietly through every struggle, and taught me that many hardships are, in truth, blessings in disguise.
This award is more than recognition of an achievement; to me, it is a testimony of abundant grace throughout the journey. I am deeply grateful to my family, mentors, and friends whose love and support carried me through the valleys and encouraged me to keep pressing on toward the goal.
So dare to pursue the things that feel impossible to you. Sometimes grace is hidden in the most unexpected places, waiting for you to take one courageous step closer.
