“I changed a lot of diapers, and, during my free days, I went to the beach and read ‘When Broken Glass Floats.’ It was a nice break from Upper year and allowed me to recharge before the start of Senior Fall.”

“I took part in various Japanese cultural activities such as karaoke, glass blowing and flower arranging. It was fascinating to be in a foreign country, embracing the culture and customs, which were different from back home.”

“I completed a project titled ‘Competitive Landscape Analysis’ at the Staples corporate office. By posing as a customer, I compared the mobile sites and applications for Walmart, Target, Fred Meyer, Staples and Amazon. I was surrounded by a tight-knit group of employees, who supported my works.”
