A brief personal bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a political science major and a Chinese\/German minor. I plan to work for the government, specifically in the branch of international relations. I have never studied abroad and I hope to accelerate my language skills and immerse myself in the unique cultures of Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Why this summer language abroad opportunity is important to me:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was initially drawn to journalism because I viewed many of today’s publications as serving personal agendas rather than the public’s good. I thought that all too often, stories were pre-packaged by the journalists’ own biases and then spoon fed to people in nice palatable doses. I wanted to help end this cycle. I felt ready to write, with the firm belief that readers deserved the experience of digesting information, formulating their own opinions, and deciding for themselves how to act upon that information. My goal was to tell the untold stories of humanity, to help others, and reveal the truth. But I quickly discovered that I wasn’t ready to relay the message to the people in an effective manner; I lacked the requisite perspective and knowledge of world events. However, I was undeterred. I began to seek knowledge in the political arena. I took on an internship at the Congressman Eliot Engel’s office and learned that I held a misconception of our representatives and their responsibilities. While I took on the internship to get insight on how Congressmen pass bills and how the government functions internally, I learned that a Congressmen’s duties extend far beyond legislation; it included helping constituents on a variety of levels.\u00a0 The way constituents relied on the Congressman to help solve their problems made me realize that I wanted to do more than just report the actions of others. I wanted to be a part of the transformational influence that politics has on people’s lives.\u00a0 \u00a0 With my newly attained initiative, I began to see myself exploring the field of government in order to learn the basic tenets of how people and governments interact with each other. I plan to pursue an education in political science so that I can better understand the relationship between the policies governments adopt and the effects they have on Main Street.\u00a0 The experience I gained from the Congressman’s office is minute compared to the insight I hope to gain through immersing myself in other countries.<\/p>\n

What I hope to achieve as a result of this summer study abroad experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My goal of studying in Taiwan with Notre Dame is not only to learn to communicate in Chinese but to familiarize myself with the people and cultures of the land. The experience I obtain in Taiwan will be beneficial to my career in international relations in the future.\u00a0 Learning is getting out of the classroom by experiencing, interacting with, and hopefully, changing the world.<\/p>\n

My specific learning goals for language and intercultural learning this summer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. At the end of the summer, I will be able to communicate in Chinese with native speakers on academic topics.<\/li>\n
  2. At the end of the summer, I will be able to openly embrace other cultures.<\/li>\n
  3. At the end of the summer, I will be able to write traditional Chinese characters.<\/li>\n
  4. At t he end of the summer, I will be able to speak, read, write and listen at a level of proficiency equal to two semesters at Notre Dame.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My plan for maximizing my international language learning experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Upon my arrival, I will immerse myself in volunteer work to tutor Taiwanese students in English. While the students can learn English, I will also be able to get the necessary interaction with native speakers. As an intended Chinese major I believe it\u2030\u00db\u00aas essential that I witness the traditions and lifestyles firsthand. With the acquired knowledge, strengthened by the experiences I hope to attain, I want to help create a more proactive citizenry.<\/p>\n

    Reflection on my language learning and intercultural gains:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    My program was specifically made for chinese language acquisition and I think the best part of the study abroad experience is when I realized that my language skills have improved significantly during my time abroad. During the pre-departure meetings, we were taught about how to really put ourselves out there and delve into the culture and language of the country. I remember thinking that it’s a lot easier said than done. But during my time abroad, I realized that opportunities to practice your language is omnipresent. Especially in a country where not a lot of people speak English it’s easier because you’re forced to use the language every day. I did meet my goals for language learning that I mentioned above. In a way, I think it also helped that everyone in my program was at a more advanced level of Chinese than I was. Many of them were already comfortable speaking in Chinese and at the end of the program, I discovered myself speaking with my Notre Dame roommate in just Chinese. I returned back to the United States with a sense of satisfaction in that I had achieved the goals I had set beforehand.<\/p>\n

    Reflection on my summer language abroad experience overall:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If anyone is thinking about advancing their language skills, I definitely would recommend studying abroad. Every language has colloquial terms that are impossible to learn from a textbook and the only way to understand them is by picking them up through daily conversations. My study abroad experience has given me a whole new perspective on other cultures and has really motivated me to look at different cultures from a wider view. To truly understand the language and its people, I believe one has to visit the country and experience the differences in culture with all five senses.<\/p>\n

    How I plan to use my language and intercultural competences in the future:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    With my newly acquired language skills, I will pursue Chinese fluency. I am particularly interested in East Asian affairs. When I was in Taiwan, I learned about the complex relationship between Taiwan and China. The Taiwanese all had something different to say about this relationship and I believe it is something worth researching. I also think that the relationship between China and North Korea, and North Korea and South Korea is particularly interesting and hope to gain more perspective on that. I currently speak English, Korean, Chinese and Spanish and hope to work for the government in International Relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
