I came to Valparaiso University planning to acquire some knowledge to fulfill my passion for teaching and I left with great university learning and working experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-s2\">VU is a place I once studied and lived and now has become part of my best memories. There I was able to grow academically and professionally. I had exciting and valuable experience presenting at the Illinois and International TESOL Conference. I remember my first practicum and how much support and guidance I had from my professors. All my professors are approachable and friendly. I remember all their names, and I believe they would remember mine as they truly care about their students.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-s2\">I also developed a lifelong friendship at VU. I have been in touch with these friends almost every day. I had friends visiting me in Vancouver as well as meeting up with some of them when I was traveling.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-s2\">I never felt lonely as I was always being cared for and supported. Lots of exciting events were organized by OIP and various student organizations on campus gave me a diverse and lively university experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"m_203125339235845720gmail-s2\">VU is not a research-focused university such as Harvard or MIT, but it is a place where you can extend your knowledge and get invaluable experience and most importantly always feel being supported and remembered.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Xue Rui<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graduated:<\/strong>\u00a0May 2014<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Degree:<\/strong>\u00a0M.A.,\u00a0TESOL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Current Job:\u00a0<\/b>Senior Administrator at a private college, Vancouver, Canada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Contact Email\u00a0<\/b>&#8211; <a onclick=\"window.open('mailto:\\u0078\\u0075\\u0065\\u002e\\u0072\\u0075\\u0069\\u0034\\u0039\\u0035\\u0030\\u0040\\u0067\\u006d\\u0061\\u0069\\u006c\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d','_blank');return false;\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.write('\\u0078\\u0075\\u0065\\u002e\\u0072\\u0075\\u0069\\u0034\\u0039\\u0035\\u0030\\u0040\\u0067\\u006d\\u0061\\u0069\\u006c\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d');<\/script><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best memories from your Valpo days: &nbsp; I have tremendous wonderful memories from my Valpo days.
