Ottawa Student Testimonial
Yu-Chun Wu (Bianka) – Taiwan
Yu-Chun Wu (Bianka)
My name is Bianka. I have been studied in GEOS for six months.
The school is like a big family. It helped me adapt to Ottawa quickly.
I also made many friends from different countries and cultures. In addition, I am very grateful to the teachers who have ever taught and helped me.
Everything happens here impressed me. I believe this will be the most valuable experience and memory in my life.
I will never forget how many obstruction and how much effort I had before I came. I will active use what I have learned in daily life. Although half a year is a short period of time but it is important for me, because it’s a valuable part of my life.
I love here, and everyone I met here.
