Homework

Hi everyone, my name is Claudia, and I am very excited for the China trip! I am a current sophomore at Riverdale, and I am also in Chinese two. My goals for China are:

1. I have immersed myself in the Chinese culture by being open to try new foods and allow myself to experience the differences between Chinese and American culture.
2. I have connected with my host family by pushing myself to make conversations even when it was difficult.
3. I have gotten to know/continued relationships with people in the group by taking the time to chat with everyone.
