Freeman Scholar

 This is actually my first time applying for scholarship. Also my first time writing a blog!
In my first year at college, I have always wanted to go study abroad one day. For many reasons, I did not put the thought into action. This fall, I read a email about MIX program, and decided to give a try. I applied for the program and tried my best to organize my thoughts in my essay. Fortunately, I was nominated for studying abroad to Hong Kong, China. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason as long as you believe in what you believe . I did not plan to go study abroad at all, nor did I know I can get the freeman scholar. I would say that, always give it a shot, you have nothing to lose.

Interview with Dean Vance Roley!

This is also the first time I am interviewed for scholar. It was totally different experience compare to be interviewed at work. I was well prepared for the interview, even though I have been kind nervous over the weekend. I believe success is where the preparation meets the opportunity. I treasure this great opportunity and truly appreciate for the freeman family's generous support to make all this come true. Also thanks to Rikki, I was able to obtain sufficient information from her. It is only the beginning and I am already gained many different experiences. I believe it will be exciting in HK, and I can't wait for this new adventure.
