Olivia Peng ,Trip Participant

Ni hao ma ? This is Olivia (Yuyang) Peng from Nanning ,a city in southwest part of China , Nanning is a small and beautiful city and you are very welcomed to visit my country someday! I have come to United States for about five months and I love it here ! I am a first year graduate student in Accounting and so is my undergraduate major , but I am not sure about choosing Accounting as my lifelong career so I keep learning and trying different things before I decide what suits best for me ! 

The reason that make me love here most is the people here! People I met in the university , off-campus activities or when I was traveling around , they help me a lot even I am a stranger .I am so grateful everyday for the kindness I received that I decided to do something ,which makes me participate in this alternative break program. 
I love kids and other pure ,naive and lovely things , I feel very comfortable staying with them .

In the previous twenty+ years I spent much time in the classroom or textbooks and felt like not going anywhere , but when I forced myself to go out and take look of the outside world , I just cannot stop going !!  I  like outdoor activities such as hiking ,paddling and climbing, and also I love photographing animals ,and touching them :) . When traveling I would like to stay in a specific place for a relatively longer time and communicate with people there ,make friends and listening to their stories , for me that might be more meaningful and interesting. 

I love the idea of KIPP to improve the rural education and I am excited to work with the team ! See you all soon !
