I came to Canada alone in 2011 to study in high school. Under the dual influence of quality education in Canada and exam-oriented education in China, I have exercised my independent spirit of exploration and strong communication skills. I like to discuss interesting philosophical issues with my friends, especially controversial social current affairs issues. I like students who have a sense of autonomy and critical thinking. In addition, I also like watching brain-burning movies very much. I hope that we can share our viewing experience together in our free time.
