Week 1

A new semester is about to begin this week. I am very excited to attend these classes. It is my second semester attending classes at the University of Akron and the experiences I am having are still quite new. I have only been in the United States for a little over 4 months now and things are very different from the way they are in China. I learned a lot from my classes last semester, and I'm hoping to learn just as much this semester. I feel I am learning a lot of information that I can use when working with foreign exchange students when I return to China.

I am lucky to have a graduate assistantship, which allows me to work with other foreign exchange students, while I am at Akron. I am really enjoying the opportunity and I feel I am gaining invaluable experience. I was able to work on China week, last semester. I was happy to be able to invite some of my fellow graduate students to an event we were having. They were able to come and enjoy Chinese food and learn how to make it, as well. I really enjoyed having the ability to share some of my culture with them.
