3 Things I Learnt as a High School Student in New Zealand | Study With New Zealand

I’d like to share some things I learnt while studying in New Zealand as an international high school student.

I was extremely bad at English before I came here. I was scared of not understanding what teachers said in the class. Fortunately, people, who sat around me, helped me to understand any important points of study and helped me learn new stuff. They guided me when I found it difficult – I appreciated it. With their help, I became more self-confident.

Studying in China, I found the work boring and felt that my dreams would not come true. I congratulate myself that I left China and came to New Zealand. The new and different education system gives me more impetus to study and enjoy my life. My parents are so glad that I’m happier than before.

My host mum is a wonderful woman. We always talk about what we have done during the day in the evenings. She’s taught me how to cook and how to speak English well. She made me feel at home so that I didn’t get homesick. Her Kiwi style has affected me so much that my teachers have told me that I am like a Kiwi.

I've loved my high school experience in New Zealand – I've learnt new stuff all the time. I’m proud that I study in New Zealand and I’m looking forward to my university life here. All the experiences I’ve had have been amazing and the reason why I love studying in New Zealand.
