| UVA-WISE has a great learning environment because of the higher level of student teacher interaction. Small class sizes provide the opportunity for small-group discussions where participation and hands-on learning are a priority. There is a strong sense of community where students can make the most of their college experience. |

I have been to many different parts of the world including: India, Iran, Jordan, Thailand, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Philippines, Bahamas, and Canada. This has given me a unique opportunity to learn about different people and their cultures. I can also speak five different languages. Another interesting fact is that I like theme parks especially roller coasters. My favorite roller coaster is "Sheikra" at Busch Gardens, Florida.
