Hello all, my name is Jinyi Guo, and you can call me Olivia. I am a senior student at UVIC pursuing my BA economics degree, I was born and raised in China, and I came to Canada since high school, studying and living in this country makes me feel Canada is my second home. During spare time, I enjoy different kinds of exercising especially hiking with friends, I also love travelling, I had been to a lot of places in the world, meeting different people makes me respect different culture and opinions, and it’s actually the best part about Canada, people come from different places with various backgrounds live together well in this country.

The reasons that I choose this course is because I think education is really important to teenagers, personally, education is more than education, it’s not only about getting a degree after you graduated and find a well-paid job, but also make our thinking more mature and shape our perspective, make us a better person. As an international student who study in Canada, it really helps me a lot mentally.
