For Manzama-Esso Abi, moving abroad provided an opportunity to learn new skills that will benefit her research back home in Africa.
Credit: Cheng JiaxingManzama-Esso Abi shares how, after earning her bachelor’s degree in Togo in West Africa in 2016, she moved to China. She is now studying for a PhD in clinical laboratory diagnostics at Kunming Medical University. Abi describes the importance of learning a new language and taking advantage of academic resources to take new knowledge and skills back home.
It was hard leaving my family, but at the same time, I was excited to explore and learn about new perspectives from professors abroad. The one-year programme gave me a full scholarship, so I could study for free.Getting to China wasn’t easy. It was my first time outside Togo and I had to take three flights to get there. I missed a connection, so the flight attendant arranged for me to be on the next flight to China, but I was stuck in Thailand for five hours. I was young and scared.
Being far from home, you miss your country, you miss your family, you miss your community, but knowing the language of the country where you are living really helps. When I first arrived, I couldn’t speak Chinese, so communication was a challenge. I wanted to enrol in a Mandarin course. My lab supervisor agreed, so I spent part of my year as a visiting scholar learning Mandarin and practising English with other international students.
