I have constantly been introduced to new environments and new people throughout my life. My friends come from all around the world, from all continents. Going to an international school, new people came and left very often. This helped me get used to studying & living amongst a diverse group of people in terms of ethnicity and personality. After 8th grade, I went to two different summer camps over break. Despite the short amount of time I spent at each one, I adapted to the new environments rapidly enough to establish friendships with people I still keep in touch with. At Cornell, I also adapted to my new living environment without feeling significantly homesick despite it being my first time living away from my parents for an extended period. I quickly made new friends from orientation week, joining clubs, and talking to people in my major.
