I thought I&#8217;d use this last post as a chance to reflect on my overall experience in Taiwan. <\/p>\n<p>In general, I feel that this past summer in Taiwan as been absolutely wonderful. I feel as if I&#8217;ve not only learned so much about Taiwan&#8217;s history, language, and culture, but also so much about myself. Although classes were difficult and we had a lot of work to do, it&#8217;s been so great to see my skills in Mandarin improve. I had so much fun meeting so many different people (fellow peers, teachers, host family, other college students, locals, etc.). Also, I&#8217;ve made some really close friends that I know I will keep in touch with (and hopefully go back to visit and see in the future!) <\/p>\n<p>For now, I have to focus on getting ready to arrive at Williams and focus on the semester ahead.
