Spending my summer in Korea has been an unforgettable journey, one that’s filled my heart with gratitude and joy. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a vibrant community where every day brought new opportunities to learn, explore, and connect.

One of the highlights of this experience has undoubtedly been the incredible excursions. Whether it was wandering through historic palaces, hiking scenic trails, or tasting authentic Korean street food in bustling markets, each outing gave me a deeper appreciation for Korea’s rich culture and breathtaking beauty. These adventures not only expanded my perspective but also created memories I’ll treasure forever.

Equally special were the society-led activities. Getting involved with student-led events, workshops, and cultural nights brought so much warmth and fun to my summer. These moments allowed me to bond with people from around the world, share stories, and celebrate our differences in the most beautiful way. I felt a true sense of belonging and community throughout.

This summer school has been more than just an academic experience, it’s been a time of personal growth, cultural discovery, and lifelong friendships. I’m so thankful for every laugh, every lesson, and every step of this incredible journey.
