Hello everyone in Ms. Amanda's class!

I'm so excited to be sharing my journey with you. Social studies was one of my favorite classes when I was in school so getting to share my experiences with all of you is extra special to me.

I am going to start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am 21 years old and I was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois. Peoria is a small city about two and a half hours away from Chicago. In fact, I am actually home in Peoria visiting my parents right now!

I have two amazing parents, both of whom were born in India, and a sister who is four years older than me. Having a sister growing up was the best because I basically had a built-in best friend-it was awesome! Growing up, I was involved in dance and lots of math and science camps. My parents, being from India, always wanted to make sure that I was heavily involved and in touch with my Indian heritage. This meant that we ate Indian food every night for dinner, listened to Indian music and even got to wear Indian clothes. 

I spent my whole childhood living in Peoria. I've lived in the same house since I was born and I wouldn't have it any other way. I went to school in Peoria too, all the way through high school. During high school, I was involved in student council and math and science programs.
