My Partner, Maggie

I was lucky to have Maggie as a partner. Her Chinese name is 黄宣弘, or Huang Xuanhong. Like me, she is 18 and is a senior in college. She lives in Beijing, and her English is very good!

She actually came to study at Punahou's Pan Pacific Program this past summer (2008). She also likes playing badminton and volleyball, and she also likes to listen to American pop music!

Although she is still young, like me, she was able to teach me an enormous amount of Chinese history and also about the character of Chinese people. She has allowed me to respect the Chinese nation in a whole new way. I hope that through this blog, you will also be able to experience the determination, dedication, pride, and power that Maggie has shown me through her choices for symbols and proverbs that represent China to her.
