Taiwan is one of the leading countries in Asia and in the world that offers best education. The country gives great importance to education that produce great leaders in various fields.

Learning another language is also one of the reasons why I am pursuing Master’s education abroad. Exploring another country is embracing one’s culture, delighting their food is discovering their history, and learning their language is appreciating their value.

I believed that being multilingual is an advantage and giving me more chances to act, create, and touch hearts and mind.
