1. I'm from Nairobi, Kenya. I’ve also lived in Ethiopia and Tanzania.  

2. I chose Mason because I could feel a sense of community. I have felt welcomed even before I stepped on campus. Everything from the website to the people I have interacted with have made me feel like I am part of the Mason Nation. 

3. My major is English because I am passionate about exploring the world of literature and I would like to be a lawyer one day. I feel like this major will help me with that goal because it will help me hone a variety of skills like critical thinking and literary interpretation which I see as significant assets in the legal sphere. 

4. I feel most like a Mason student when I walk around campus. Mason’s campus is big, but still walkable. I enjoy discovering new sites and taking in the pretty scenery.
