Hi from Laura Q
Hi my name is Laura Quintrell and I am a senior at Hathaway Brown School in Cleveland Ohio. Next year I plan on taking a gap year and after India I plan on visiting Italy and New Zealand. As for college, I have absolutely no idea. I have it narrowed down between College of Wooster and Mt Holyoke. So that is going to be a tough decision. I love to travel, I love to volunteer in different countries. It is so much fun and you will learn a whole lot about yourself and the world. At school, I am pretty involved, I have taken part in the World Affairs club, the environmental club, and the literary magazine. Also I volunteer at several locations in the Cleveland Area. In the past those have included East End Neighborhood house, The Salvation Army, and I am currently volunteering at the Cleveland Mueseum of Natural History. So if any of you come to Cleveland you can meet me. The discovery center is a really cool place.
I have this weird habit of speaking Spanish totally randomly. It's kind of fun and it freaks everyone out. But I did go to Paraguay last summer with Amigos de las Americas and it was a blast. So much fun, the best summer ever. But Paraguay is kind of a strange country. Also this summer I am doing Amigos again and I am going to Uruguay for five weeks.
I also love art, basically design and graphic design. I love art History and I could also major in psychology because I may want to counsel middle school children when I grow up. I am really excited to go to India. I just talked to my Spanish teacher who went with my school and she said it was absolutely incredible and a life changing experience. And I look forward to meeting y'all in August.
Laura
