What I enjoy most about SCCC is the diversity of race and cultures, and the freedom to express my opinions on these topics.

5. What are the biggest differences between life in your country and life in Seattle?
The biggest difference between life in my country and life in Seattle is the weather. It rains a lot here and it's pretty cold too. In my country, it's always hot because the sun is nearly always out.

6. What do you consider to be your biggest accomplishments? Why?
I consider coming all the way from my country to here, by myself, a really big accomplishment. I'm pretty shy so that was very challenging for me.

I consider the fact that I was in a girl's boarding school for 8 years, and survived, very interesting.

8. What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are: sports (soccer, basketball, netball, rounders, cricket etc), drawing, dancing, listening to music and watching TV/ movies. I belong to the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship club at the moment. I love it!!!!

9. What were you doing prior to coming to Seattle to study at Seattle Central?
I was in a girls boarding school (high school) in Kenya, before I came here. The school was called Greenacres (green is my worst colour by the way). However, I also worked during the long breaks. I used to be a cartoonist for a Tanzanian newspaper called "Sanifu". After that, I became a radio presenter (for a little while) in a radio called "Times FM". My programme was called "Sunset Jams".
