Unexpected moment: I got transferred in SPA

Have you ever experienced an unexpected moment? Hi, it's me again—Mikaela, the student blogger. On the first day of school in my second year, I was unexpectedly transferred to a SPA section, which truly surprised me. I was worried that they might reject or judge me because I came from the regular section. But instead, they welcomed and interacted with me warmly—completely opposite to what I had anticipated.

I found myself socializing more in my second year than ever before. The SPA students were humble, never overly proud of their section, and incredibly fun to be around. They were always willing to help or share ideas, and I eventually became comfortable enough to start expressing my own opinions.

After the pandemic, I hadn’t engaged in much social interaction—until I was transferred to the SPA department. That unexpected shift opened up a whole new chapter for me.
