My most memorable experience was giving a presentation on preventing HIV/AIDS to a class of fourteen and fifteen-year-old students. During the presentation, it was clear that the students were engaged and listening to the issues. Afterwards, every single one wanted pictures and to exchange e-mail addresses with my partner and me. It was an amazing feeling to know that our visit had an impact on students and will hopefully help them engage in safe behaviors.

We interacted one on one with the migrant kids and the social workers. We went on a field trip with the kids and got to interact with people from the community. At the hospital we had a chance to talk to the patients and doctors. the program helped me realize how I can do service in my own country, and it brought light to social issues I didn’t know existed.

Study Abroad has encouraged me to have an open mind and to realize that I have the power to change and positively influence others no matter how small it may seem. I also strive to expand my social work career internationally and if not at least help out internationally.

one of the largest impressions this trip has had on my consciousness is related to the notion of global citizenship. I Feel like part of something larger than myself. this trip illustrated a connection to a grand constellation of folks who (in some superficial ways) are different from me. Yet, the similarities that bond our experiences are very real.

In the beginning of the trip, my Chinese language skills were weak, I had little knowledge of the culture, and I was excited but nervous about living in such a foreign country. However, by the end of my trip, all of this had changed. My language skills improved greatly; Chinese people would ask me how long I’d been in China, and my “only six weeks” response would always shock them. I became comfortable with navigating the town I was staying in, and got to know the local vendors. And my nervousness was shed for an extreme sense of belonging. I didn’t want to leave!
