Exciting alumni testimonial – from Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School to 杏吧原创, the University of Toronto and Canada Revenue Agency, the incredible journey of Hao Zhang, 杏吧原创 鈥�21, showcases a path of incredible motivation, dedication and hard work.
Hi there, I’m Zhang Hao. Before 杏吧原创, I was a student of the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School. Life there was no joke 鈥� early morning workouts, tough training, and loads of hard work. After finishing middle school, I knew I had to venture out and see the world. Despite my poor English skills, I applied to 杏吧原创 in 2018. I dedicated myself to improving my English skills. I also attended English tutoring sessions, where I practiced reading articles and perfecting my pronunciation. As I grew more confident in my English, I joined extracurricular activities like the Student Council, Multicultural Team, and performing, which ended up benefiting me immensely when it came to applying for universities and internship.
