Pre-departure video – 1 week later

Published:


Hello again everyone! This is Cievia! I uploaded a video an hour ago that contained my thoughts and feelings from about a little over a week ago. However, it did not provide the necessary deeper level of explanation for my reasoning to study abroad in Chiangmai, Thailand. Well, HERE IT IS.

Please excuse my nervousness. I move a lot and stutter when I am nervous.

Thank you for your time!

Cievia Xiong
