[00:00:04.440]The Confucius Institute
[00:00:05.821]opens the world to Nebraskans.
[00:00:08.899]We have master degree programs in China.
[00:00:11.491]We also have one year study abroad
[00:00:14.659]in China for language study.
[00:00:16.323]We also offer for high school students
[00:00:18.804]the China Bridge Summer Camp,
[00:00:20.871]in which high school kids go for a two week
[00:00:23.327]intensive Chinese language course in China,
[00:00:25.768]while also traveling.
[00:00:27.529]I just loved everything, the food, and the people
[00:00:30.911]and I met so many great people.
[00:00:33.225]Hopefully in the future I plan on teaching English
[00:00:35.176]as a second language, so I think that having background
[00:00:38.804]in really any languages is gonna help me later.
[00:00:41.601]We actually provide scholarships
[00:00:42.999]for American student to take classes in China,
[00:00:45.876]language classes, specifically,
[00:00:47.856]so that they can get the room and board
[00:00:50.876]and tuitions are paid.
[00:00:52.403]During my time in China,
[00:00:53.523]I studied at Xi'an Jiaotong University.
[00:00:56.274]And after learning Chinese
[00:00:57.683]and being awarded the scholarship and traveling to China,
[00:01:00.958]I just realized what I'm really capable of.
[00:01:03.241]How I can help bridge culture
[00:01:05.865]and people through language.
[00:01:09.224]I was very pleased and delighted and honored
[00:01:11.529]to have been selected to be the political leader
[00:01:17.193]on the educator's program tour.
[00:01:19.486]The whole thing was totally captivating
[00:01:22.857]and eye-opening and life-changing.
[00:01:26.983]By working together and understand each other actually
[00:01:32.702]there will be less conflicts, but more opportunities.
[00:01:36.439]I've led two groups of students that have gone over.
[00:01:38.785]I think it's a great experience for students
[00:01:40.620]to become immersed in the language, in the culture,
[00:01:44.919]and to see the other side of the world.
