expect to gain from Summer College and to accomplish during the program?
I am an international student currently in Woodward Academy. I am a student with passion and
excitement for new thing, which helps me get used to a new environment faster. Meanwhile I
always look forward to learning new things and getting experience from it. For example, when I
first came to the United States, the new high school, new host family and the whole new
environment seemed totally strange to me. However, I overcame my fear and unfamiliarity by
myself. Also, I had to deal with different types of issues with my teachers and host family about
academics and daily life. During that period of time I significantly improved my communication
skills. Despite my communication skills and academic skills, my taste is quite different from
others. For example, I like listening to 70s, 80s and 90s rock music and classic music instead of
popular songs other people listen to. I am a big fan of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Guns N’
Roses and other famous rock bands. In Pre-college program, I wish I can learn several new
things about computer science such as design, coding and artificial intelligence and maybe
business. Meanwhile I intend to make more friends with peers from different states and different
countries. I would love to share my experiences and stories with them and hear their stories.
