Yixuan Wang

I am pleased to study in OISE-Curriculum & Pedagogy. This is the first year of my Master's degree.

My interest in education stems from participating in volunteer teacher activities during university. The students' smiles and bright, sparkling eyes make me feel healed which I have never had before, which makes me want to keep strong curiosity, exploring desire, and creative spirit.

I like traveling, swimming, reading, and cooking. I love finding a balance between play and study, which trains self-control! We only live once, let's find more interests!
