Class of 2027

Hello, my name is Adina, and I'm from Kazakhstan. My native language is Russian because my parents were born in the Soviet Union when people could not use the Kazakh language or study in it. However, I studied Kazakh at school on a par with English and strive to be fluent in Kazakh. Despite this, I honor the traditions and culture of my people. For example, in the second picture, I am sitting with my classmates in a yurt (a traditional portable dwelling of nomads) on the day of the celebration of the Kazakh national New Year.

• My name is Minh Anh.

• I’m from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam.

• I speak Vietnamese as native language and English.

• I plan to double major in Finance and Data Science.

All those boring bullet points about myself like that usually concern me a lot. To be honest, I always do not know what to say or where to start when being told to introduce myself. I feel it is not fair for me to encapsulate all my life and myself into a couple of introductory sentences. However, at the same time, I cannot see myself having anything to share with.

My name is Eunjin Han and I’m from Seoul, South Korea. I speak Korean, as my first language, Chinese, and English. 

Hanna Nelson is an international student at St. Lawrence University, she is in the class of 2027 and she is from Kerala, also known as "God's own country" - a state in the south of India. Hanna would like to major in Psychology also she is interested in Government studies. As a person who grew up in a huge diverse country - in religions as well as in languages which is more than 100, Hanna has learned to accept others' opinions and respect others' beliefs from a small age.

I'm from the only country with an open bible and the words: God, Fatherland and Freedom incrusted in their flag. My name is Raul Bonilla, I'm a young entrepreneur who like to advocate for others. I like to play baseball, play videos games and watch anime and movies in my free time.

I have the opportunity to been in the Saint Lawrence communities and I can say that is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The community, place, activities and more thigs that goings on in the campus it made me feel include and supported by all.

Heyyy!

Mango sticky rice. Beautiful beaches. Big buddha. That is what people always remember about my country. I have no choice but to say that mango sticky rice is an amazing dessert, although it is not my favorite dish. I came from a small mountain town in the north, so I never experienced beautiful beaches until the age of 17. I am not religious either, but I love to bring my international friends visit several temples to show how grand they are. Yes, I am from Thailand, the country that resembles an ax on the Southeast Asia map!
