Thank you China

After a crazy 10 months in Asia, I’m finally home. I can’t quite believe that it went that fast and I’m now back in Scotland. I can confidently say that it was the best year of my life so far and I will forever cherish the memories I made in China. I would never have imagined that I could have made friendships where communication is solely in Chinese.

Although it was emotional saying goodbye to our family of scholars, I’m excited to return to China in August for another year. I’ve never laughed so hard or been pushed to my limits so much, for both extremes, I am grateful. Although it’s cliché to say, it made us all mature so much as young adults and taught us so much.

I’d like to make a special thanks to Katie, Fiona, Fan and all the team that helped make this whole experience happen. It’s been amazing.

If any future scholars would like advice or to ask any questions, then feel free to contact me. I’m looking forward to the showcase in August.
