I decided to give myself a gap year to think of my future.<br \/>\nLuckily, I made a friend when I had a work holiday in New Zealand. She told me that she just gave up her ten years career to start a completely new life. Encouraged by this spirit of challenge without any support, I attempted doing activities that I could never have imagined of doing before. I went hiking alone, bungee\u00a0jumping, learned German to get B1-level in two months without any foundation and so on.<\/p>\n<p>After that, I changed from a shy girl to a brave one. I believe that I can improve myself if I try. Now, I have come to Southampton to continue my education. Studying MSc education abroad is a new challenge for me. I am trying my best to adapt to the new environment and believe that I can gain more exciting experiences in my academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yijie Liu &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After I graduated from university, I was still confused about what should I do.
