"Studying East Asian Studies opened my world in ways I never expected. Learning Chinese challenged me to think differently, not just about language but about culture, hi tory, and communication. Exploring East Asian philosophies, politics, and traditions gave me new perspectives on global connections I never dreamed of prior to college. Studying abroad in China deepened this sense of discovery, immersing me in a world both new and fascinating. Traveling and meeting people from different backgrounds made every experience feel like an adventure, whether through literature, conversations, or exploring unfamiliar places. It made me want to continue forging relationships across cultures and pursue a career as a diplomat."
