選擇的意義,是直面自己的真實需要,是努力成為命運的強者。
當康奈爾大學、愛丁堡大學、曼徹斯特大學、華威大學等英美名校發來的一封封錄取郵件接連彈窗,馮雨佳站在了權衡事業與學業的十字路口上。

故事
馮雨佳
國際商務專業
遠赴海外深造?踏上創業之路?尋覓就業機會?每一個選項的背后,都有師長與親友真誠的想法建議、真實的經驗教訓。
但哪怕是最親近、最信任的人,也不是“自己”。馮雨佳的選擇,是“走出自己的路,做和別人不一樣的選擇,迎接更多的不確定性”。

在高--校畢業生就業形勢并不樂觀的當下,她延期前往常青藤名校康奈爾大學讀研的決定,成為了一項“非典型”選擇,是一趟未知的旅途。
但決心“跳出舒適圈”的她,滿懷憧憬、樂在其中。如今的她,即將成為全球四大會計師事務所之一普華永道的一員。
01
特別幸運,擁有選擇的權利

寧波素以開放聞名,在這片土地扎根生長的寧波諾丁漢大學,也把開放與自由視作立身之本、動力之源。
擁有來自全球70多個國家和地區的近萬名師生,與40個國家和地區的近150所海外一流院校建立合作關系,全面應用小班化、全英文和互動式的教學,學校外籍教師占比超過60%……
這樣的氣質已浸潤到校園的每一寸肌膚、每一根血脈,讓懷揣夢想而來的馮雨佳,擁有了磨練自己、反思自己的廣闊舞臺。

在這里,她學會了“大膽想象”。無數優秀學長學姐從校園出發,在學術領域或社會領域實現了傲人的發展成就,讓“從不覺得自己最頂尖”的馮雨佳,很快擺脫了剛入學時“有些迷茫、不太適應”的狀態,擁有了走進全球頂尖高校、世界一流企業的信心。
在這里,她學會了“多元發展”。從羽毛球校隊主力到學生職業發展協會副部長,從全運會志愿者到中國證券從業資格證的持有者,世俗眼中的“象牙塔”沒有讓馮雨佳自縛手腳,反而幫助她鍛煉了能力、豐滿了人格。
在這里,她學會了“堅定追夢”。身邊的同窗和師長會時常給予她中肯有效的建議;來自各行各業的專家學者會在學校組織的講座上傳授經驗;校內的就業指導部門也時刻關注著學生的成長軌跡,給予她職業生涯以方向引導,提供各種類型的實習機會。

寧諾的開放和包容,給予學生們更多的發展空間。它讓我意識到,人生并非筆直向前的單一軌道,而是一片自由的曠野。這不是放蕩不拘的自由,而是精神世界的自我主宰。”馮雨佳說,“我覺得自己特別幸運,擁有選擇的權利。”
在這座通達世界、包羅萬象的人才孵化園里,馮雨佳堅定地、勇敢地種下了獨屬于她的小小夢想,正在開放雨露的澆灌下抽枝發芽。
02
不害怕挑戰未知
![]()
選擇畢業后延期出國,毅然投身就業浪潮,這恐怕是極少人愿意做的大膽嘗試。
成為第一個“吃螃蟹的人”,需要百煉成鋼的專業能力,更需要無懼無畏的戰斗勇氣。怎樣邁出這一步、走好這一步,是寧諾給予馮雨佳最大的財富。
面對“按部就班當好學生”和“進入普華永道就職”的選擇時,她并非沒有猶豫。
顯然,繼續保持學生的狀態,前往常青藤聯盟的名校讀書,無疑是一條最平順、最通暢的道路,與年幼時“一定要出國深造”的夢想相契。
與此同時,馮雨佳遭遇的面試對手,或是頂尖國內高校的本科生,或是留學歸來的研究生,儼然是“千軍萬馬過獨木橋”的嚴苛競爭場景。
所幸,這些困難沒有干擾她的判斷、阻攔她的腳步。

在寧諾求學的經歷,早已給予她闖關“HARD模式”的信心。“上課的時候,老師經常鼓勵我們多思考、多提問題,我們也常常需要小組協作完成任務。這些歷練讓我變得更加敢于表達自我了,在和牛校畢業的學長學姐一起面試時也能非常自信。”跨文化溝通、思辨思維和領導能力,成為馮雨佳脫穎而出的堅實底氣。
也正因如此,面對周遭的擔憂和疑問時,她可以從容自信地作答,“這樣的決定很勇敢,但我愿意花時間挑戰未知。”
03
永遠在路上擁抱不期而至的
機遇,追逐不被定義的人生
![]()
寧諾,究竟是一所怎樣的學校?“機會多、自由度高、包容性強。”這是馮雨佳的理解與詮釋。
正是在這樣的環境里,馮雨佳和有著相同志趣的同窗一起,以最大的熱情擁抱不期而至的機遇,向隨波逐流、亦步亦趨Say No,從青澀稚嫩的“白紙”一步步成長為具有獨立人格的成熟個體,勇敢追逐不被定義的、精彩紛呈的人生。
UNNC student dedicated to pursuing a boundless life
As her graduation certificate from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) found a place on her wall, and letters of acceptance from renowned universities such as Cornell, Edinburgh, and Manchester arrived, Yujia Feng found herself at a crossroads. A crossroads of contemplating between starting a career or pursuing further education. More specifically, she would either further her studies abroad or embark on an entrepreneurial journey to explore employment opportunities. Yujia decided to forge her own path and embrace heightened uncertainties.
Presently, she stands on the threshold of joining PwC, one of the four largest accounting firms in the world. Given the somewhat bleak employment outlook for recent graduates, the decision to delay studying abroad for a year represents an "unorthodox" choice, a voyage into the unknown. Yet, fueled by her firm determination to venture out of her comfort zone, Yujia exudes optimism and excitement.
UNNC, with nearly ten thousand students and staff from more than 70 countries and regions worldwide, has cultivated cooperative relationships with over 140 top-tier colleges and universities in over 40 countries and regions. UNNC delivers an English-language, interactive, small-class teaching approach, with over 60% of its faculty from abroad. This, and the university's open-minded and liberal culture provided a vast platform for Yujia, who arrived in Ningbo with dreams and ambitions, to train, grow and now reflect on her work.
Here, she learnt to boldly envision her goals. Numerous UNNC alumni have achieved great accomplishments in the academic and social fields, inspiring her to develop the confidence required to compete with the best from top universities and corporations.
At UNNC, she learnt to "develop diversely". From being a volunteer for the All-China Games, to passing the qualification exam for Chinese securities practitioners, the university has polished her abilities and built on her personality.
At UNNC, she learnt the art of relentlessly chasing her dreams. Peers and tutors provided practical and effective advice, visiting experts and scholars shared experience in lectures, and the university's career guidance department provided support for growth, giving students career direction and internship opportunities.
"UNNC's openness and inclusiveness offer students an array of developmental opportunities. It made me realise that life isn't just a single straightforward trajectory but a vast and free wilderness," Yujia said. "I feel particularly fortunate to have had the privilege of choice."
Opting to postpone studying abroad for a year and being a part of the employment wave after graduation is a bold move that few dare to take. Undoubtedly, maintaining her status as a student and attending university would have been the smoothest and most straightforward path, perfectly in sync with her dreams of studying abroad. Further, the job interviews Feng Yujia faced involved harsh competition among graduates from top domestic universities and returnees from foreign postgraduate programmes. It was a challenging environment. Fortunately, these hurdles neither interfered with her judgment nor halted her progress.
Her experience at UNNC has given her the confidence to overcome various barriers. Cross-cultural communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills have become her solid foundation making Yujia stand out amongst competition.
"Plentiful opportunities, a high degree of freedom, and great inclusiveness" are UNNC's values, said Yujia. It is within such an environment that Yujia, along with her like-minded peers, embraced unexpected opportunities with great passion. Gradually, they evolved from naive and inexperienced “blank sheets” into mature individuals with independent personalities, boldly pursuing a boundless life of endless possibilities.
