I\u2019m a sophomore, an Economics major, and this year, an intern for the Office of International Services. I was born in Mexico, to a British father and a Bolivian mother and have lived the best part of my life in Honduras.<\/p>\n<p>Because I come from an international background and the experiences I\u2019ve had with people and in places all over the world have defined me as a person, I was looking for something very specific when choosing a university. I guess I wanted to be somewhere where I would be able to fit in and find a place for myself, but also be challenged and grow as student and a person. And Vassar, with its stimulating and diverse environment, filled with incredibly interesting people and ideas vastly different to myself and my own, fit the bill precisely. As Sebastian says in a another post, Vassar has a place for everyone\u2026 especially within the international community. I\u2019ll be studying \u201cmore abroad\u201d in London next year and am curious to see whether I\u2019ll find a community of people as open, passionate about their interests and welcoming as the one I\u2019ve experienced these last two years at Vassar. I\u2019ll report back\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Hello! \ud83d\ude42 My name is Anna Sophia Doyle.
