Introduction

Hi everyone, my name is lihan Chen. I am from Chongqing which is located in the southwest of China. It is a beautiful and attractive city. We have a famous hot pot there. It is really spciy, probably because of geographical reasons, therefore People there are very fond of spicy food.

However, I am a third-year student at Uvic and my major is economics. But I used to be an art student. I had experiences of learning several types of painting, like watercolor, sketching, and Chinese traditional painting. I love art. I love beautiful things, they can bring me freshness and yearning for life.

Learning Experience

Where we can’t pursue the meaning of learning, but we know that this is our human instinct desire for unknown. Firstly, people have full of interest, and then they are desperate to explore it. In other words, learning is a way to create more possibilities. Modern society can’t survive without knowledge, otherwise it will be eliminated by society.  what some people don’t want to learn, perhaps they are fear to learn. this kind of fear that makes them lost. For instance there is a road that leads to the slopes, but people don’t know the danger it is. If they are not careful on this, they will fall down the abyss, and then they will be unable to control themselves until the deep underneath. As I am an international student, I have never thought about that one day I will study and live in a place where is so far away from my home with an unfamiliar environment. And I speak different languages; however, it was the biggest difficulty for me, because I need to learn not only just knowledge, but also how to deal with difficulties in a strange environment. In fact, most of them are psychologically overcoming my inner fear. I should integrate into the life in Canada, communicating with the people around, and learning the culture of the local people. In general, learning process is a way to overcome our inner fear and explore the unknow.
