It’s always a pleasure to welcome back ex-students and this
week we said hello to Na-Young from Korea who studied with us in 2010. Na-Young
said ‘I have really fond memories of my time in Canterbury and I miss the city
and my teachers.’ She was back in Canterbury doing some voluntary fund-raising
work for the charity Future Sense Foundation.
After studying English at Stafford House Na-Young followed a
Foundation Programme at CATS College Canterbury. After that she moved to
Sheffield and is now in her second year of a Politics Degree at Sheffield
Hallam University. She said ‘I really love my course. I’m the only
international student so it is hard work. But I’ve got lots of friends on the
course and many of them want to learn more about Korean culture.’ As well as
being active in the Korean Society she is also a member of the Badminton Club
and has her charity work.
Pat O’Donoghue, the Principal at Stafford House, said ‘It
doesn’t surprise me that Na-Young is involved in so many different activities.
During her time at Stafford House she organised a Korean evening with other
fellow Korean students. She brought along traditional costumes to wear and I
still have the photo of when she and I dressed up in them.’
