Official Acceptance Email!
This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise as I was rushing out the door to get to Northwood Temple Academy to substitute. Thankfully I checked my email before I left and I saw the official EMAIL from Fudan University in Shanghai China! The last post was an unofficial announcement of this opportunity, but thankfully now it is official.
This acceptance letter is for a summer Chinese language intensive course throughout the month of June. I have already finished my Chinese minor at Fayetteville State University, but unfortunately I have not really had a lot of exposure to speaking anymore Chinese since my last trip in 2010. My prayer is that this experience will enhance my language skills and refresh my memory for when I permanently move to Hong Kong/ China in 2013. Thank you for all of your prayers and I just want to encourage you all to try to study abroad at least once in your collegiate career. Not only will it give you a brand new perspective on your position in the world, but it will give you an advantage that many people do not take advantage of. As the world is becoming more flat, the more employees will look for distinguishing factors that differentiate yourself from the next person. The best way to study abroad is to get in contact with your university’s international education center/ study abroad and ask them for scholarships. You may be surprised at how few applications are actually submitted.
