Over the course of our trip, we were treated very well by the students and volunteers\u00a0from NJUPT. Frist, I was introduced to Brenda and Sharon who were in my group. They were both undergrads\u00a0at the school and\u00a0were excited about the workshop. Sharon had gone to an international\u00a0school before\u00a0NJUPT, and her home province was over 2 hours away. Brenda had gone to a local school in her area, that was over 3 hours away. For some reason, I kept forgetting how large of a country China\u00a0was, so it amazed me that kids were coming from all over to attend the school.<\/p>\n

Another student who I formed a friendship with was Fiona. Though she wasn’t\u00a0in my group, I could always\u00a0find Fiona close by as she said she\u00a0admired our height difference. Whether or not they were in our group, the students were very nice and welcoming and would go the extra mile to make sure we had everything that we needed.<\/p>\n

Talking with the students about their everyday life was an eye-opener. I now have to think twice\u00a0about complaining\u00a0about classes, as I learned that most students\u00a0take anywhere from 10 to 15 classes a semester. This was normal for them and they were shocked\u00a0by our responses. The other\u00a0thing was the living conditions. Students\u00a0had to walk from their\u00a0dorm all the way to the dining hall in order to take a shower, and the showers were only open from noon to 9 at night. This was amazing to us, and again we were shocked at how normal this all was to them. Overall, this was a great learning experience\u00a0for us to see how people around the world live on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
