I have never been outside of Korea till when I was 17 and you can imagine how small the world was to me.

In 2011, I was lucky to join the exchange student program in Sunway International School (SIS) and become the first exchange student in SIS. It was only one-year exchanging program, however, it was more than enough to make me fall in love with Sunway.

At that time, no one taught me how the things will be in Malaysia. So as a person who doesn’t have any background information about the new environment, I was scared when I first arrived in Malaysia. But within a second, I wasn’t scared at all. Sunway welcomed me with such a great hospitality and made sure that I settle into the new environment.

That one year, not only gave me a chance to study in a different way compared to Korean education system but also gave me a chance to open my eyes to myself and the world.

Malaysia has unique multi-culture that we don’t have in Korea. Looking at the people from different environment sharing ideas and bring out the new culture inspired me in many ways. As I joined Foundation In Arts program in Sunway college to continue my study, I learned not only about the subjects that taught in class, but also other things that we need to know as a global citizen. Sunway helped me to look at the things differently and think differently. My world is so much bigger compared to a few years ago, and I can’t wait for my world to get even bigger than now.
