My name is Collins Kiplagat and I'm Kenyan. I'm currently a Doctorate student enrolled under Liaoning Government Provincial Scholarship in Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU).

My journey in academia has been one of good memories, SAU being the center of it all. I recall my first arrival to China vividly back in 2017, as a 2+2 program student from Kenya. Back then things were much different to how it is now, but the excitement I had as an international student at SAU, I will always cherish.

The time I've spent at SAU, dating back to the time I enrolled as an Undergraduate to now being given a chance to pursue my studies under the Doctorate program, I have witnessed much growth in me. The teaching and non-teaching staff, were able to provide me with the care and support all throughout and I thank them for their kind hearts.

In addition to this, learning Chinese language, as well as, the Chinese culture has been a thrill and one filled with great mysteries.

As the says goes "A new chapter begins and the journey continues, but the end will justify the time taken".

Thank you SAU.
