Sagal, congratulations on your graduation! What a huge achievement. I was excited to read about your Michigan experience. I was raised in Michigan and went to university there. I wish you all the best in whatever your next chapter is. I'm sure you will soar, and your skills and spirit will take you in fascinating directions. Good luck! Susan

I went to Michigan as my exchange student this year. My year started pretty Awesome way. I have such an amazing family and siblings who are willing to help me with anything. they're the reason I'm having a good time in Michigan. I also met awesome people who taught me a lot about the culture and what we do differently which I enjoyed the most. I never thought I would enjoy going out of my comfort zone but that's what it turned out.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
