A foreign student's journey of excellence in China


During my time in China, I've been presented with numerous opportunities that have propelled me professionally and academically. I've participated in competitions, met incredible and talented people, traveled to more than 30 cities around China, learned the Chinese language, tried delicious food and broadened my horizons in Chinese culture. To sum up my experiences in one sentence, China shaped me into a better version of myself which is more than I expected.
Coming to China is one of the best things in my life. I usually take part in English and Chinese speech competitions. Through these competitions, my public speaking ability has improved a lot. I have won several international speech competitions with contestants worldwide and have been appreciated by Chinese and international news channels.
In 2019, I won first prize in the English Essay Contest organized by the Silk Road Cities Alliance. In 2020, I won first prize at Beijing's "Silk Road and Young Dreams" English Speech Competition. I've also won several Chinese speech competitions.
