Hi There!
My name is Cheron Z. Mims. After closing out a successful junior year, I am now a senior at Northwestern University (whoo-hoo!) studying Anthropology and Political Science with a Brady Scholars certificate. I am currently sitting on my bed reflecting on the past week I have had to spend with my family before I depart for Beijing, China. I have a huge family (8 siblings!) and making sure I see all of them before I leave has been a challenge. We all get together every summer to hang out, go to the beach, binge watch movies, and catch up. Spending time with them is what I am going to miss the most while I’m away this summer. Although I will miss them, I am excited about the adventures that await me in Beijing, China!
This will be my second time going to China (The first was 5 years ago) but my longest amount of time spent out of the country! I am excited to revisit the historical sites, try amazing food, explore the city, and of course learn more about Chinese language and culture at Peking University! Since I will be participating in the Political and Economic Development program, I look forward to expanding on my knowledge of Chinese domestic and foreign policies in comparison to the US.
I am expecting to have a great time! I look forward to sharing the journey with you as I embark on this new adventure! Welp, now I have to start packing. Till next time!
