Welcome to a new summer of VCU Startalk! Today, we had the joy of welcoming the excited new students that will make up the Chinese Academy of 2012. It is always a joy to see the young and eager faces of so many talented individuals, as well as meet the parents that were responsible for the success of their children. For many parents, the opening ceremony was the first time they parted with their children. However, we are certain that with the history of the success of the program, we will provide a great environment for the students to learn as well as have fun with their talented peers.
On the first day of the program, we had the pleasure of the presence of a Wing Chun master to personally introduce the students to Chinese Gong Fu. Also, for the first time, the students had the opportunity to practice Chinese morning exercises! Although they were rather uncoordinated to begin with, they caught on very quickly.
Looking at the potential of all these students, we can only say that we are excited to have the opportunity to work with so many talented individuals. We look forward to what is to come in the next few weeks!
