Though she was born in Boston, lvarez lived in Brazil for ten years. She oved back to the United States at the tart of her freshman year. Adjusting to itty was not difficult because she ttended an American school while living n Brazil. Having nineteen students per lass allowed for more individual atten- on. Even in Brazil, the Alvarez family fol- owed American customs and fashions hrough their annual visits to the United tates. During her free time, Alvarez en- oys basketball, cheerleading, swimming, nd reading. She is not sure about her ture residency after her college years. Chawla has lived in the United States ractically all her life. She moved here from lndia when she was about seven months old. Her family still observes tra- ditional religious customs: believing in Sikhism, wearing a special silver bracelet, and not cutting their hair. Chawla is familiar with the customs and fashions as any American. She enjoys bike riding, swimming, ice skating, and gym- nastics. Like most, she will attend college, then possibly pursue a teaching career. Alvarez feels it is more exciting to be a foreigner. People who have lived all their lives in one place sometimes find it shocking to see cultural differences. Yet Alvarez and Chawla Ht in well at school. Though they have different backgrounds, both face the challenge of being a fresh- man and a foreigner with equal ease. While everyone goes through the fresh- man experience once, different cultures excite interest and friendly curiosity. - Li Miao - - Patricia Curran - Dee Alvarez fleftl and Alka Chawla iabovel add to campus culture by bringing their knowledge of other nationalities to the area.
