Before I go to China, I feel that my chinese buddy in He Fei will be very introverted as he will likely be the only child of his family. Contrary to my personality, only children are also often high-achieving, motivated, and successful. As I am middle child, I feel I am often neglected by my parents as most attention goes to my younger sister, who is 1 year younger than me, and my older brother, who is 4 years older than me. Thus I feel that me and my china buddy will bond very well as I read somewhere that people with different personalities get along with and bond with each other better. Hence, I am very excited for this OELP trip as I enjoy making friends with people of other races or nationalities as me.Sources:
