My reasons for writing

There are times in your life when you feel a lot, think a lot, and grow a lot. I would like every moment to be like that but having lived here in Oxford for the past month, I can say that this is definitely one of those times! For one thing, this is my very first visit to the United Kingdom (and even to Europe), and my first experience living in an English-speaking country. Secondly I’m doing an MBA, which people call a “once in a lifetime experience”, or “the best part of my life”…sounds exciting! Thirdly, I believe it also is really important that I am ready to learn a lot. I still feel that I have not yet grown up completely, but this feeling, on the other hand, has always been my drive for growth. I want to use this whole year as an important step to build myself up, both as an individual and for my career. Hopefully in this blog I can at least capture some of the pieces of the whole experience, my “growing up” here in Oxford!
