Hsiang-Yun Chou: "I'm volunteering in Frankston Hospital and I do play therapy in the children's ward. Every time you go in and you do an activity with the children, it just brightens up their day and it's just very rewarding at the end of the day to see them feeling a bit happier."

Hsiang-Yun Chou: "I'm Yun, I'm 23 and I'm from Taiwan, born in Singapore. I've been in Australia for four years and I chose Monash University. I'm studying in Peninsula campus, and the unique thing about Peninsula campus is the quietness, the spacious environment, and it's just a great place to study in."

Hsiang-Yun Chou: "I've chosen the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. I've applied for Melbourne Uni and Monash, and I actually chose Monash because I've heard Monash teaching style is very practical, it's very lively, and where you get a lot of hands on experience. And what I'm doing now, I get a lot of placements. I get to go to schools, different settings. I just finished a hospital placement. You get to choose where you want to go to and that is very valuable. You need that practical experience to be ready for the outside world I think. It's really, really important."

Hsiang-Yun Chou: "I like to go to the beach. The beach has got few restaurants, great restaurants. And I like to eat pasta, fish and chips, what Australia have actually."

Hsiang-Yun Chou: "I definitely have to give big credits to Monash lecturers. They're very helpful and really support you in all sorts of ways. I've heard a lot of my friends from other universities don't really get that support because they are often too busy or they can't get to you. But in Monash you just get that very close bond with your lecturer. You can just discuss pretty much anything."

Hsiang-Yun Chou: In the far future I really want to work for the United Nations and just advocate for children's rights.
