  4. My name is Quen Fitzgibbons. I really enjoy learning. I read quite a bit, in my free time, on topics that interest me. But, this is a slow way to learn. And of course, I'm not even aware of what is missing in my education. I started working when I was 15, and didn't really go to high school. So please excuse my enthusiasm, I'm just excited to be here in school.

  5. Hey, I'm Aakanksha Arneja. I recently immigrated from India (4 months back). I've moved around quite a few countries in a short span of time, and so not surprisingly, travelling to different places through different modes of transport is my greatest passion.

  6. Hi everybody, my name is Kevin Xie. Something, er, interesting happened to me in 5th grade when my best friend and I went camping in Redwood National Park. We climbed up the dead stump of a redwood tree and woke up a beehive up there. I ended up getting stung by over 40 bees during the incident and also lost the hearing in my right ear for a while because one bee flew inside and punctured my eardrum.

  14. Hey everyone! My name is Jeanelle Ajel. I'm Filipino & like our teacher, I moved to the US when I was 2 years old. I do still understand the main language, Tagalog, but I never bother to try to speak it because I'd get made fun of by how "American" I sound, haha. I love trying new things & especially new food. I'm a pretty open & accepting person. Most importantly, I'm probably one of the biggest Harry Potter fans you'll ever meet. Hope to get to know you all more soon! :)

  25. Hi my name is Luke and I am 20 years old. I was born in the Bay Area and recently moved back from living in San Diego for six months. Since last fall I've hitchhiked around Northern California and Oregon with a friend several times. It's hard to articulate the ways in which living out of a backpack and a tent have brought me closer to a genuine sense of myself and of reality, but the experience is something I won't soon forget and will never regret. In my free time I play guitar and make myself work on improving my writing.

  26. Hi, my name is Avinika. I am 20 years old and I was born and raised in Santa Clara county. I went on a mission trip over the summer to Kingston, Jamaica. Though I am not really religious I found the experience very moving. It was my first time visiting a third world country and I was able to help nurture infants and the elderly. It was definitely an experience that helped me grow as a person as well as be thankful for everything I have.

  27. Hi my name is Manpreet, I'm 24 years old and just moved to the Bay Area from the valley after having lived there all my life. I'm starting a new life and trying to leave the past behind, part of that new life is going back to school after having been absent from it for so long. I'm an avid Starcraft player and love the MOBA genre of games as well. I consider myself an easy going and open person. Unfortunately my lack of smiling makes me seem otherwise haha.

  29. Hi I'm Dhruv Singh. I came to the Bay Area a little before the last Fall quarter here. I quite like it at De Anza, mainly because it seems to take off the pressure 4 year institutions have, from what I hear. I know I want to do something Economics and Math based, but there are a ton of Economics related fields out there. Hopefully I'll manage to narrow down my options by the time I'm ready to transfer. I work part time as a (high school) math tutor. I love my music- all kinds except country and metal; and travelling-seen bits of Europe, and loved it.
