“At Yale, I was immersed in “college life”, and while it was an abrupt change at first, constantly being surrounded by my friends made this transition exciting, and I definitely felt like I had found a home away from home. YYGS not only equipped me with the social skills and routines of everyday college life, but it also gave me a unique global community that I could not have found anywhere else.”

At YYGS, I participated in the Speaker Series and had the chance to share my story as well as listen to those of my peers. Upon returning to school, I decided to begin a public speaking club, where I could help my peers develop public speaking and writing skills in a supportive community. Through this club, I aspire to ensure that everyone’s voices are heard because one is just as important as the other. Communication is key to mutual understanding in the world, and the public speaking club will help my peers take the leap to spread their ideas.
