I go to University of California Santa Cruz and absolutely love it. I am feeling extremely grateful to live in such an amazing place with beautiful trees and water surrounding me whenever i feel down. I am super passionate about growing as a person and learning more about the little things that interest me.

I am involved in ceramic and pottery co-op, and am a writer and writer for a school magazine. Those were my favorites because i was able to practice with art and writing, two things i have loved since my childhood. I so desperately want to explore the challenges of being an adult and all the dynamics that come with being more grown but also keep my carefree childlike attitude as well. I am also very passionate about other countries and cultures because i find myself knowing much less about the world than i'd like.

Creating connections with people really makes me happy and teaches me about the world in a more meaningful way for me rather than reading about it. I love traveling and pushing myself to practice languages.

I speak 3 languages fluently, Spanish, English, and Hebrew but when i immerse myself in another culture that is where i learn the most. I love to talk and am definitely more of an extroverted person so being able to express myself and listen others in more than one language is truly a gift. As i'm learning more about myself i understand now that having positive people who make you feel warm in your heart is really important. I am focusing on not needing to be with people constantly even though that's what i tend to do because of my extroverted energy and spending time alone.

In conclusion i want to spend most of my time trying new things every day, eating delicious and colorful food, cooking, spending time with family and friends who show me their love, and learning!
