“It was my second visit in England but my first time in Oxford. I made friends right from the first day. I felt like at the university: I was introduced to my room, I reviewed school policies, I received my keys and I even had a roommate. Sharing a room with my Chinese roommate helped me appreciate other cultures. Although we spoke different languages, we were able to communicate with each other in English. I took 3 courses: introduction to politics, introduction to experimental psychology, and acting. The first day I attended the politics class, I was lost, it was really deep. But in the end, I won 3 awards: Attainment Award for psychology, and Effort Award for politics, and Effort Award for acting as well. This Summer School has definitely changed my plans. Now I want to be more involved in politics and do something for my country. I have come to understand that the core reason why a country is poor or rich is because of politics.”
