Itwas a great honor and pleasure to be selected to accompany the Chairman duringhis visit to Mongolia to receive an honorary academic achievement. I amsincerely grateful for the opportunity and for the trust placed in me as arepresentative of the Woosong community.

Iam also very thankful to have shared this experience with my fellow WoosongScholarship students and members of the Woosong community. Looking back, Ibelieve this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. As someone who came all theway from Paraguay to study in Korea, I never imagined that I would one day havethe chance to visit Mongolia through my university.

Mongoliawas a wonderful surprise. Before this trip, I knew some of its history, butvery little beyond that. Upon arriving, I discovered a country blessed withbeautiful nature, pleasant weather, and warm, welcoming people. Through theguidance of our tour guide and the carefully planned program, we were able toexperience Mongolian culture in a meaningful and memorable way.

Duringour five days together, we enjoyed sightseeing, long walks, horse riding, andsharing meals. More importantly, we spent valuable time together. We shared ourthoughts, experiences, and feelings about university life in ways that werarely have the opportunity to do in our busy daily routines.

Thisjourney allowed me to strengthen existing friendships and get closer to peopleI already knew, while also meeting many amazing individuals whom I hope to stayconnected with in the future. The memories, conversations, and experiences fromthis trip will remain with me for a long time.

Iwould like to express my sincere gratitude to Woosong University for makingthis experience possible. This trip was an unexpected but great adventure andreminded me how fortunate I am to be part of the Woosong family.
