For the next two weeks, the Daily News will be featuring dispatches from a dozen students from Bronx Lab High School, who are spending a couple of weeks in China as part of the school's expeditionary learning curriculum. The first post, by 16-year-old Shipnia Bytyqi, is up now. She writes:

Going to Shanghai a year before I move on to college will help me grow as a person and also help me be more open-minded towards various opportunities. If I can go to China at 16, I can do anything, anywhere, anytime.
