The enjoyment of discovering different cultures through Virtual NSLI-Y made me realize that I wanted to see the world through international law and business. I enjoyed the guest speakers, the conversations with my peers, and making friends that I still talk to outside of the program.

I’ve known that I want to pursue a career in foreign relations for a few years now, but the virtual NSLI-Y program has given me a better sense of ways to get there. Not only did they give me language skills to help but they gave me a step in the door into this career.

Virtual NSLI-Y was one of the very few opportunities available to me to approach learning Mandarin as a beginner. I believe that my experience with in Virtual NSLI-Y played a big role in my recent acceptance to the summer NSLI-Y program and to laying the foundation for what I hope will be a lifetime of progress in Mandarin.
