Hi everyone! My name is Angela Lin, and I’m from New York. I’m excited to be traveling to China and attending Shanghai University. This experience is especially meaningful to me because I hope to learn more about my Chinese culture and heritage and feel more connected to where my family comes from.
While I’m there, I’m looking forward to experiencing everyday life, meeting new people, exploring Shanghai, and learning more about Chinese traditions and culture. I also hope to share my journey with students through pictures, videos, stories, and other experiences along the way.
I’m excited for this opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with my culture while also sharing a little bit of my experience with all of you. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!
