Anna S.
Hello, my name is Anna. I'm 14 years old and I have three siblings who are all boys, which made me a tomboy because I like to play catch and I don't like to dress up for anything. I am a freshman at Bronx Career and College Preparatory High School (BCC Prep). When I graduate I'd like to go to school overseas, possibly in England because I have relatives there. I decided to apply to the International Leadership Program because it will give me a chance to experience other places in the world, and I consider this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Plus it sounds really fun!
When I went to the Himalayan Yak Restaurant I was a little nervous because I never tried Indian or Tibetan food before but as soon as I tried it I was hooked. I tasted vegetarian and chicken Momos, which is kind of like dumpling, and I also tasted Tibetan bread. I really enjoyed all the food but the one thing I enjoyed the most was the Roti bread and the white rice. I can't wait to go to Dharamsala and experience life there. I'm still counting down the days.
