Moving to another country is never an easy thing. However, with all SGIC staffs, I felt really welcome
I have learned a lot from incredible teachers who truly care about students’ development and life.
It was a wonderful opportunity to make Korean, Mexican, Panamanian, Taiwanese, Japanese friends that I will take forever in my life.
It was so hard to study English in ESL, UCPP, and PPP. Nevertheless, today I feel confident to start college.
Thank you so much for the great and wonderful contribution that everyone has made in my life.
