My Nonprofit Reviews

As an APSA 2017 scholar, the program was an amazing experience for me. It provided me with the great opportunity to improve my Chinese language skills and my knowledge of Chinese culture. Instead of a tourist or a traveler, the APSA program made me feel like a local, which gave me several chances to interact with Chinese people of various age groups and backgrounds. Along with the language immersion aspect of the APSA program, it expanded my horizon in regards to global citizenship and intersectionality. Despite being on the other side of the world, I learned that Chinese people were just like me and I were just like them. The lessons I learned and experiences I encountered made me a better, stronger person and made me more passionate about US-China relations.
