I studied physics in America at Clemson University for 3 years, then I was granted a scholarship from the Chinese Government to come to Shanghai and study aerospace engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Shortly after enrolling at SJTU, I realized that Chinese was much harder than I expected. So I decided to spend some time studying Chinese at a fundamental level. I am very interested in Chinese history, culture, language and poetry. I am committed to improving my Chinese level and to get an HSK 6 certificate by the end of the program.
