Victoria Arowolo from Nigeria has taught Mandarin at the Confucius Institute in Lagos for a decade. Her journey began two decades ago, when learning Chinese was a formidable task for her.

Her lifelong dream was to become a teacher. Learning Mandarin transformed her life, opening new horizons and cementing her teaching dream, Arowolo said.
