Senior: Enmeshed in a community of students from sixty different nationalities and a myriad of cultures, I consistently learn from my peers at the French International School which can be compared to a miniature United Nations.
Going from a lesson on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, to an exam on Molière’s Les Femmes Savantes, followed by a discussion on Cervantes’ Don Quixote, my classmates and I smoothly transition in trilingual literary analysis.
At the cafeteria table, meals range from Indian Biryani to Venezuelan Arepa to Vietnamese Bak Chang to French Quiche to Turkish Loukoum.
In my economics class, I collaborate with peers who hail from Serbia, Lebanon, Argentina, Spain, China, Costa Rica, Egypt, Cambodia, Cameroon, Germany, Mexico, and France. Linked by common intellectual pursuits, we add our own cultural identities when we investigate socio-economic current events. Often classmates will proffer recollections of childhood memories or news clippings from their native countries.
