“Every day at Yonsei has been a challenge that helped shape me. I’ve met so many people who have become close to my heart, and as graduation nears, I can hardly imagine leaving. I’m hoping to stay in Korea, though I know it’s challenging as a foreigner. In the long term, I hope to work internationally and perhaps return to Korea someday. Currently, I’m seeking an internship in Germany and plan to pursue graduate studies in international management in Europe. My advice for foreign students studying in Korea and at Yonsei would be to simply be yourself. Don’t be afraid to take on challenges, ask for help when you need it, and live your life to the fullest. No decision is final, so embrace the opportunity to make mistakes, change your mind, and keep moving forward. Your time here is about growth, learning, and making connections—so make the most of it, and don’t be afraid to explore new paths.”
