Hello!
My name is Joseph Fisher, and I am a freshman at a high school in the suburbs of Atlanta. I am in the marching band and jazz band (trumpet), I am in the Advanced Math and Science STEM track, and I am in the protein modeling team. That is me, but if you know me, you'll soon realize I left out a very important part of my life: I love exploring and learning about other cultures. In particular, since I started studying the language two years ago, I have fallen in love with Chinese and China in general. Now thanks to my passion for the language, I have the opportunity to go on a full scholarship and study it in full immersion in Taiwan for seven weeks this summer, away from everything and everyone I have ever known. This is what this blog is about. If you want more details about my program, go to my first blog post. Otherwise, stay tuned for coming updates about my trip and language progress!
