Experience:

I think studying under AEL is a real eye-opener. By interacting with our best teachers, professors, classmates, peers, and friends, I secure my own position in my future path. Personally, I think I received lots of enlightenments by just being together with my peers and teachers and therefore have deeper thoughts about myself and my future direction. I’ve always been really inspired by the classes of Haerim, Jookyoung, Wil, Jack, and Yike. Not only because of the knowledge I learnt, but also because of their teaching style, teaching languages, personality, and the passion for the things they are doing.

There are lots of touching moments in AEL. For example, after the course ended, Professor Wil sent us an email, where he wrote that no matter what we do in the future, the spirit of challenging what appears to be normal, which we learned in AEL, will always stay with us. I love that and printed that email and stuck it on my wall. I’ve received lots of such countless inspirations in our program. Big likes to it.
