I lived in China for 4 months previously to be exact in Suzhou, and I fell in love with its culture. I have traveled since I was 6 years old and I always loved learning about the people from different places of the world. I want to study in this University because I know it will help me achieve my dream of becoming a proficient scholar of the world. I was born in Mexico, but my mom is Colombian and since she was the one who raised me I always felt like an immigrant. Then I moved to the USA when I was 16 and learned about the culture of being an immigrant in the USA. I'm interested on professor Huan Jianbo and his perspective of migrants' education and also on professor Nicholas Tapp and his perspective on the minority of immigrants. I know this University offer English classes for my major, and even though I want to learn Chinese while I'm there I would also love to be able to understand everything that is being taught. I know ECNU offers both things. I'm just very excited to learn more about how China sees different cultures and its own Culture as to compared the Westerners see their own culture and Chinese culture.
